i don't know what to tell you, other than the formation of the wings is a series of valley folding the pleats and squash folding them, and then flattening the entire thing. if you're using a foil of some kind that you didn't make yourself, some flaking alone the spine of the pleats is inevitable but won't tear. if you're at this point of the model, if you do happen to tear it, i would tape it up and keep going. no point in throwing away all that work.

maybe the key is on the squash folds.bethnor wrote:i don't know what to tell you, other than the formation of the wings is a series of valley folding the pleats and squash folding them, and then flattening the entire thing. if you're using a foil of some kind that you didn't make yourself, some flaking alone the spine of the pleats is inevitable but won't tear. if you're at this point of the model, if you do happen to tear it, i would tape it up and keep going. no point in throwing away all that work.

hi,
i'm trying to fold this eagle, but i'm stuck at step 85..
could any1 help me? it's something to unsink, but i don't get it, and when I try to fold on, it doesnt seem to be right..so the step, 85, looks very important..
thanks in advance,
HansM

Hi everybody,
I'm also trying to fold this magnificent eagle by Nguyen. However, i'm stuck at step 71, on the second collapse. I have the same problem as fredericoh, which he mentioned on the first page of this topic, so i'm re-using his picture.
What do i need to do with the two flaps i've indicated on the image? Do i just need to fold them to one side? I can't seem to flatten the model correctly. These are the flaps as seen sidewards from my own folding.
I tried to fold the flaps to the right in a sort of zig-zag manner, which gaves me something as seen on the next figure. Is this the solution?
Many thanks in advance!

no.
this collapse is probably the hardest part of the model, and all i can really suggest is to follow exactly what folds are valleys and which are mountains. you'll want to bring either side of the flaps together in book fold fashion, and this will let everything lie flat. the portion shown by the bottom arrow will essentially be inside the flap indicated by the top arrow.
as i said before, the most confusing part is that the portion where the lower arrow is in the first photo should NOT be squash-folded; it remains a reverse fold in the final collapse (i.e., it is asymmetric, which is somewhat counter-intuitive in most origami).
