I've tried a couple of CP (box-pleating, nothing else) and although it's pretty difficult I was able to fold it. But, my problem begins when I have to fold the details of the model (head, objects...) Any clues? Any advices?
Thank you all.

Here is a method that's guaranteed to work! You look at the photo, and use your tongue, I mean your hands to shape the model so that they both look the same! I know, it took me years to figure out, and it only hit me when I was watching some origami videos on Youtube.
In case you don't know what you're supposed to do with your "hands", you take your index finger and your thumb, place the paper in between them, and squeeze them together, thus compressing the paper and altering it's molecular structure and appearance. Very complicated stuff, I know. But in time, with years of intense martial arts and business management training, you'll eventually get the hang of it. The trick is to brush your teeth 7 times a day.

C'mon people don't be mean to us relative newbies, who still need the Betty Crocker approach with diagrams... or at least red & blue mountains and valleys marked.
We're all trying to learn at various levels, and I know it is annoying to repeat - Use the Search function - but the Search function isn't perfect... It'll take 10 seconds to show him the link... so let's reduce the flames...
Altho I do like the flames....
