Help with Joseph Wu's Shark

Post by origamiman »

Hi I'm a big fan of your Shark and I am currently on step #22 where it says to collapse the near and far sides against the body. What are you talking about? :?:

If you can help me that would be great. :D

Maybe it would help if you would write the name of the person you´re begging help of correctly...

I'm stuck at the exact same spot. It's a weird inside reverse fold which I can't seem to figure out. Any ideas?

Here's the diagram

I got It

Post by iAm4free »

You need to just put u'r finger inside and like u do for the birdbase u need to flip the corner to make it a square. Mmm.... Actually I don't know how to explain. But its not very hard I put my finger inside and just made it like a square, i looked at what the 23rd step should look like and folded it, it worked. Tell me if you still didn't get I will try to make a video.

But I got stuck at the 31st step. :(

That helped :D
I finished it earlier today but I had been messing too much with it so it tore in a couple of places. I'll try it again now that I know how to make it. Seems to be hard to get this model to look good though.

Step 31 was a little strange but try to get that angled fold on the left going first. Even though it looks like just a valley fold in the diagram you actually end up with three layers when flattened.

Hope you get it to work!

Actually, I folded it from the right side first. When you do, that gives you a landmark for the left half of the fold. The way I did it, the left side kind of resolved itself.

I found this sequence reminiscent of Lang's Lionfish from Origami Sea Life. Does anybody else think so, or is it just me?

The four smaller images show the step on one of the sides in progress, the larger image shows the inside of the model after the step is coplete on both sides
