John Montroll's camel head
Could someone please tell me how to get the head on John Montroll's camel from Origami Sculptures? At one step the head looks like a fox's and the instructions say pleat sink the head (or something like that) and then on the last step a very nice and complete head is shown. Could someone please give me hints, pictures, a movie maybe?
Thanksa

Ok. I kind of understand what you did by the picture, but the diagrams suggest you get a very detailed head and yours (no offense intended) is not very detailed. So I guess the model (not yours but all of them) is not as nice as the diagrams show it to be.
Or maybe it takes a lot of shaping and modeling to make it work

I was kinda happy with the result- but yes (see my other models posted) there is often a lot more to finish a model than waht the diagrams describe.Joha wrote: So I guess the model (not yours but all of them) is not as nice as the diagrams show it to be.

for this reason alone it is worth getting to a convention somewhere some time.
I will take a look at the diagrams when i get home.

I do not actually own the book so the instruction might not say that exaclty. The book belongs to a library. It is step 37 I think where they show the head like a fox and give some simple instructions and the head never appears again until the last step where they show a very nice and detailed head that I haven't been able to fold from the instructions or the picture that David provided. So please look at that step and explain it to me if you were so kindthedeadsmellbad wrote:we must have different versions of the book because I cannot find that quote anywhere in the instructions.
Is there a specific step where you need help?

The instructions at step 37 seem clear enough:
1) fold the ear: simple valley folds.
2) form the neck: a reverse fold to narrow the neck.
3) Crimp fold the mouth: a straightforward crimp to bend the front of the head down to form the snout.
Joha, can you post an image of your attempts at the camel head and point out where you're having problems?

Sure the instructions seem clear but they are not enough. From step 37 the head is no longer shown until the last step when it is shown finished with a lot of detail on it. Mine has just a crimp but it does not resemble the final image.wolf wrote:The instructions at step 37 seem clear enough...
It is not like I do not understand what the instructions tell you to do. It is that I consider that they do not take you to the final model as it is shown there.
I do not have a camera or access to one, but thanks for the offer. Since you've taken interest in this thread, would you mind trying to give me more hints on how to finish it?
