(Help with) Neal Elias - Rodin's Thinker

[abnyc]

After a bunch of test folds, I've basically got this model down, except for the arms. I can't seem to figure out steps 16-17, "form box section". Can anyone help? I'll post a photo of the step in question ASAP.

Step 15 is telling you to undo the center pleat, allowing the sides to stick up at 90 degrees.

Step 16 says to fold up the new edge at 90 degrees, such that it is equal in height to the sides. This will cause the paper to bunch up at the corners - this excess gets swiveled (like a reverse fold) in.

Hope this helps - Marc

Step 17 shows the center pleat being collapsed together again, pinching the foremost corner together, and bringing it towards the tip of the arm.

Thanks, Marc! I'll try this tonight.

Step 15 is telling me to have both sides up @ 90 degrees? Because the picture from step 16 is what confuses me.
