Hello, I Amy trying to fold this mermaid by Masahiko Tanaka from Tantaiden 11 and I am having difficulty with everything past step 12. Could someone do a video on this or at least some pictures of how to do this one as I am having trouble with these diagrams for some reason.

I can provide a copy of Tantaiden 11 if needed.

Hello, just an update. Below is a link to a folder where I have saved the fold diagrams and some photos of where I am stuck. What seems to be happening is that if I sink the fold as stated step 13 becomes impossible as the paper cannot fold over. I am likely doing this wrong but I am not sure where my mistake is.

Based on the pictures you had in your link, it looks like you're doing a closed sink instead of an open sink.

By the way, please do not post links to full published diagrams here. A picture of a few steps is okay, however.
