Thanks redhead! :D It turned out really nice.


BUT

My 80x110cm Tant and 60x60cm foil papers just arrived from Origami-Shop. They came in a bunch of colors, so hit me with your best shot!

My thoughts exactly. I just hate forming those gussets :| (steps 52-59). They always turn out crumpled

I have never successfully folded the thing but a try is better than not, so yeah, have a go.

I think he meant the tissue foil. What should I do with the tant?

when you make the gussets for the toes it helps to precrease them even though its not in the diagrams. and they dont even matter that much because later in the diagrams they are unfolded and replaced with reverse folds
my flickr tissue foil is for noobs! mc FTW!!!!

Thanks for the help :) What ended up happening with the divine dragon was they ended up crinkled, and I couldn't open sink them correctly :roll:

I am about to make red tissue foil, max size 50x50 cm. I am also looking to get a new book with quite complex models. I'm thinking about Satoshi Kamiya's book, good idea or not?
