The Origami Forum

Hey all! Guspath has posted partial diagram to his gryphon but the pictures are done with gold paper and i can't make out the crease pattern (i have really bad eyes and there's a bit of a glare) Once i get the cp i'm pretty sure i can collapse it from there. Any help is appreciated.

The diagram can be found here

This gryphon is one of the models, ive always dream with folding. I saw once a gryphon of those in imageshack, so, it cant be impossible

Guspath is a great folder, but to be honest, his folding often isn't representative of the designs. Part of designing bases for specific pieces is that the flaps should all be the appropriate length for the appendages. What he does is makes flaps that are much longer than necessary, and then shortens them up. This gives the works an inefficiency and makes sections thicker than they need to be. This is the same problem I have with Manuel Sirgo's work. If Sirgo's style doesn't bother you, then by all means, you won't have a problem with Guspath's (At least Guspath's does not rely on squeezing tiny super-thick flaps into shape to be insect legs.)

I do enjoy his welsh corgi and ninetailed fox though.

Wow nice model! Good CP Photo tutorial thingy too. I will have to try it tonight. Great work.

Yes it is a nice model. If someone could help me though, and redraw the cp (if you can make it out) i can take it from there. I just see the creases on the gold paper he has in the picture and i love this model i want to fold it soooooo bad. I just finished my joisel dwarf so i'm on an origami high

i suppose it's like this

Thanks a million!

hey is that cp accurate because when i compare it to the diagrams it looks different or maybe its just me but any way i am having a bit of trouble collapsing it from the cp ill try again but if any one would be so kind as to make some clearer diagrams it would be greatly appreciated

or maybe not diagrams (not many people have the time )but just some thing showing where the head an wings and legs are i think i can collapse it but i also think that i am doing it wrong

this was my result with that cp.
with that you should get to the base, from where there is some work to do.
anyway you have

tail lionleg wing

lionleg body hawkleg

wing hawkleg head

anyone who is interested in trying this griffon might want to get the new VOG book. the cp looks very similar to adam tran's lava wyrm, and it might help you in the right direction.

There is a tutorial on youtube by spliffonaut

Are you sure? I thought he only had one on the hippogriff

^^^

you are correct.

but why use a video? there are diagrams for the hippogriff, hand drawn though they are.

I folded it! having trouble posting pictures.
