I would also love to see a collapsed base of this model. I don't know why there is not much discussion on this amazing model. Even in the vietnamese origami forum, i could not find much info.

I once tried to collapse the base but failed. It would be awesome to see the collapsed base. I have no idea what becomes what in this model especially the sword hilt and the legs.

It's really really hard.

A couple years (I think) back I folded the base from 12"x12" elephant hide paper. I had no problem collapsing the base, but it came out so small and thick that it was impossible to get much further. I'm planning on trying it again sometime soon. That or Vajrapani.

yeah you need to use a big piece of paper for this model. Artur used a 70cm by 70cm paper.
