Help/Tips Precreasing
I've been trying lately to fold Nguyen Hung Cuong's eagle, and this bird has me in it's talons before I've even fully precreased. If anyone has any tips
for folding this spectacular work of art, please tell me so I can show you guys the finished model, in all it's glory.
To this, I need help precreasing, Its just not visible enough and its jumbled. Thanks in advance for help, guys!
blah, pc broke down and i finally have something ._. sorry i havnt been on

Re: Help/Tips Request-Nguyen Hong Cuong : Eagle
There's already a topic about this.
Here's the topic, see if it asks your question, if it doesn't, then ask it there again.

Well...I guess I'm asking more for tips on precreasing. Could I have some help there?

Re: Help/Tips Precreasing
Precreasing is all about patience and accuracy/exactness.
The errors you make in the first precreases compound quite quickly. Beyond this advice, there isn't much to say, I don't think.

Re: Help/Tips Precreasing
Does foil paper actually help precreasing like I've heard?

Re: Help/Tips Precreasing
What do you mean by "help" precreasing? Technically foil is harder to fold crease patterns with as it doesn't reverse creases easily. I don't understand what someone would mean about foil helping precreasing.
Re: Help/Tips Precreasing
i assume by "helping" precreasing you're talking about the creases being more visible on foil as opposed to mulberry or something else in which case there's a little bit of truth to it - that said, if you can't get precreases right with mulberry/double tissue/lokta/whatever, i don't think you're going to get it right with foil either... practice is the only answer i think

Re: Help/Tips Precreasing
I mean the creases will be stronger if I use foil paper/tissue Foil??

Re: Help/Tips Precreasing
Have you tried the diagrams for it in Terry's Licence to Fold?

Re: Help/Tips Precreasing
A few questions then. Have you finished it? If so then can you post a picture? I'm sure it would look great! If you need help then please specify a step where you are stuck. We would be more than happy to help you if it is needed.

Re: Help/Tips Precreasing
well I kinda need help on the entire precrease, unfortunately there are no online vids witha tutorial
Re: Help/Tips Precreasing
Perhaps a bit of common sense may be useful here...
In order for anyone to help you, it is imperative that you indicate exactly how far, to what step number , you have comfortably advanced to, thus far.
I hope that you have at least gotten to step 43 & 44 , which are the amended diagram steps .
Clearly speaking, there are 221 steps overall, many of which are fairly challenging .
This might be a project better placed on hold, until you have more experience with other easier, but increasingly difficult, models .
We've all had moments where we've bitten off more than we can chew, have applied further study & diligence , then resumed to tackle the problematic complex model at a later time .
