Hi all i want to fold brians perched locust but what size paper should i use?
Im looking at a 40 by 40cm square of tissue foil and thinking it might turn out quite big?
I want it to end up around 5 6 inches ruffly so what sort of size paper should i use?
I used to fold a lot of insects years ago but just cant remember for the life of me what size i used to use lol but im sure it was smaller than 40by40
Kind regards & happy folding
Steve

Re: Brian chans perched locust size?
If I remember correctly from the once I've folded that model, it has about a 40% model:paper ratio. So you'd need a ~15" square, which is about 43cm. Therefore 40cm should be fine.

Re: Brian chans perched locust size?
cool thank you for the reply so the finished model should end up around 5 6 inches from tip to tail as such?
Kind regards

Edit:
I still wasnt happy with 40 by 40 so went with 30 by 30 and it came out the perfect size buy your explination on the 40% ratio was spot on so was very helpfull in resizing the paper down to get a the size i wanted thank you
happy folding
