Katsuta Kyohei - Flying Cyclommatus Metallifer (CP)

Post by Wizmatt »

Hello everyone. I have decided to atempt the Flying Cyclommatus Metallifer by Katsuta kyohei, I have precreased the paper but I am stuck on collapsing the base.

I don't understand how to collapse the abdomen pleats here:

I've also got problems with the pleat at the top, how do I collapse the bit in the middle?

I was wondering if anyone who has folded this model could give me some help, thanks in advance.

I had a go at collapsing the CP today, although I should really be doing some assignments :?, but I managed to fold it at last. (After I found the precreased CP somewhere in my room)

Here's some pictures:

Many thanks for helping me with this one.

Hi! It's been a long while since I've been active on here. I deleted my Dropbox years ago, so some things, like my Dragonfly Varileg guide, are lost to time. I may still have other things, though! Email me if you have any questions.
