Grim Reaper--Miyamoto Chuya

Hi!

I'm having trouble with steps 82-84. Are they actually supposed to be folds, or it is just precreasing for steps 85-87?

[ftangdude55]

As far as I can tell, they're supposed to be folds.

(I read somewhere that there's virtually no pre-creasing in the model, so that's pretty much the basis for my conjecture )

It looks like you're pulling a layer of paper out (marked by the star), kind of like a reverse sink.

[Raptorex55]

Your're right, there is no precreasing for this model - not a single step!
For that step you are, like joe the white said, releasing a layer of paper. But it's all done inside the model, and is difficult to explain. Pulling the paper the way the diagrams suggest should cause a flap of paper to "pop loose" from the other interior layers - you may have to listen for it. It's all very clever, the way it folds itself, but you must follow the diagrams closely.
I only figured this out the second time I folded it with some thick paper where I could feel it happening.
Best of luck!

Hello i am posting because i need help for this model I am not a newbie but i simply cannot understand steps 84 - 98 the text doesnt help could somebody post preogress pics or a video of these steps?

Miyamoto Chuya made a mistake on these... See the link below on his Flickr with corrections (step 82-84)

I am still abit stuck on step 83-85, can anyone help me by posting some pics?

For Step 85, is it actually possible for that star to lay on the incenter of that triangle?

[Raptorex55]

Yes it is. Keep in mind the triangle is actually within the model. It is a partially X-rayed step.

EDIT: I've done this four times now and I believe it is a mistake. The triangle is folded along the the crease made in 82 not the incenter. It does not interfere with the the rest if the folding sequence.

Hello,

I believe I have spotted a mistake in the JOAS 2012 special issue.

If you look at the top flap from steps 40-44, where it shows to crease and unfold (40), once at step 44 it is completely folded on /both/ sides, despite no appropriate instructions to do so.

Could somebody please help me out with this?

[chesslo]

Yes, it looks like you are right. Just fill in the missing steps, there are mistakes in the diagram from what I can remember.

[Benlewisorigami]

I really wanna fold this one soon...

[Timoris]

Yes, it looks like you are right. Just fill in the missing steps, there are mistakes in the diagram from what I can remember.

Am I supposed to repeat all steps on the other side, or just the minimum to obtain the shape?

[chesslo]

Do it so it looks as close as possible to the steps

[Benlewisorigami]

I took a look at the diagrams.. I didnt see anything super weird with them. I may give it a go soon
