If you can't fold it, try a bazooka.

Wow, that looks very nice. :-)

You should maybe use a bit thinner paper though, the legs seem to be bulkier than they are supposed to be.
So long and keep folding ^_^

Wow, I'm really flattered, thanks for all the great feedback! :D

Daydreamer, i will try some thinner paper, and i might try thinning the legs out a bit more, and maybe making them a bit longer too; they aren't quite the right proportion yet. :)

I'd say it took about 20 minutes or so, I really should try one from better paper and try thining out the legs like i promised Daydreamer :D
