Wow ricardo, that's amazing! How did you fold the platillero?

those are awesome. i wish i could fold that good.

I still haven't finished a dwarf to my satisfaction, but in the beginning, fold it in four parts each way.
Then fold each outside quarter in half, half again and once more making eighths.
The top half is folded from the middle of the paper up. (sixteen rows)
Now cut off two rows from each side and you will have six parts on the sides and bottom and fourteen on the top, as per my CP.
This eliminates folding thirds (Or fifths)
And on the mountain/valley thing, the first fold on the outside is mountain, then alternate.

thirds are easy to fold, and i don't have to waste paper that way

this was the first model i folded from cp's with some expirience ( in don't know if i'm writing that good)

here is cp with m/v lines. A,B,C,D are the face parts such as mouth, eyes, and beard.

is a 32x32 grid ?

24x24 grid normally that one is modified I think

I found this CP:

This one use a 24x24 grid but the CP that phillipcurl posted I think is a 28x28 grid

the one I posted is a 28x28 grid, but it can be folded from a 24 with some slight modifications to the hat.

Here is the dwarf I've folded. The details of the faces are all wrong but I'm pretty happy with the outcome.

nice try!
you should try shaping the face though...it would be really good if you were to do that!

It took me a long time to shape because I was too lazy and I'm bussy learning how to play ukulele, is an amazing instrument . Compared with my first try (two images above) this one is much more detailed. I will fold this beautiful model again to see what else can I do with the shaping.
