Hi all,

so...I am stuck again.
This is a picture where I am now:

it more or less looks like a motorcycle (at least the front)...but thats it

I am stuck with step 41-42
Somehow it doesnt look like on the picture when I upfold it...

how come?

For step 41 you just need to fold the flap inwards up, for step 42 just reverse fold the dotted line and it will look fine!

[e-mo]

I did that already...but the result wont look like on the picture....the triangle I suppose to see...isnt there...let me take a picture ...maybe there was another step before...which I did wrong.

[e-mo]

so..this how it looks like after step 21:

as it doesnt look like on the picture...I cannot execute the next step...

[chesslo]

I don't see any problem except maybe there is something wrong with the number of layers for the flap at the back, just to be sure can you take a picture of the back?

hi chesslo,

so now I took various pictures of step 41...different views and angle...:

Hey emo!

I see a mistake, it seems you haven't done step 32??

[e-mo]

Hm...I thought I did that step. Let me redo the entire bike again and get back to you afterwards.

e-mo

[e-mo]

hi all,

so...I redid everything again and took several pictures of almost each step. This is how more or less each step looks like (I tried to really cleanfold it):

Step 8:


Step 11:


Step 13:


Step 14:


Step 15:


Step 16:


Step 18:


Step 19:


Step 20:


Step 21:


Step 24:


Step 25:


This is how it looks like from the back:


The end of Step 25:


Step 27:


Step 28:


Step 29:


Step 30:


Step 32 & 33:


lower view:


turnaround view:


Now I am stucked at step 41, 42 and 43...as it doesnt look like on the picture

but there is something else I am thinking about. I am not sure if I did step, because from this picture(Step 25):


I opened the left and right side to have it look like this:


at the end.

But could it be the top and lower part, which I have to do the "complex" flip?!

I am not so sure about that...as I havent tried it yet.

thank all an advance,

cheers,

e-mo

hm....I think I did it..
basically...the big arrow in step 42 was distracting and confusing me...but I think I got it. Basically what I put inside....I just need to pull it out again..if I am not mistaken.

Here is a picture how it looks like now...does it look ok?


if that is ok...then I am happy....
but now..looking at the next step...it is also not that clear. If that is all about to "hide" it in step 43...then it is easily done...but I think it is not...

hi e-mo,

Below is my facebook public album, this may help you.

Thanks,

I suggest you to fold it again from step 1.

It is because if there is any step in between is mis-folded, the subsequent steps may not be made.

trust me, leave it for a week or so to get you mind relax and then try again, you will be able to complete the motorcycle.

Good luck!!!

hi all...

now I finally got it
this is how the body looks like now:


still missing the tires..need to figure out the steps...how to mountain-valleyfold it....looks weird on the diagrams...

any hints for me?

e-mo

[chesslo]

Good work, from the diagram the tires are very easy too do, theres really nothing tricky about it.

[e-mo]

I already have problems with the first picture for the square...dont know how large it should be.
I just used regular A4 paper for the body...how about the tires?!
Plus..the lines on the square (Step 1)...it doesnt look symmetric...is it correct?!
how about step 2 withe the 2 arrows? I dont know the difference of Step 2 and 3...from the pictures...it looks the same to me..
