Hi all, having trouble with steps 34 through to 37 in the model below:

I can't seem to get the corners to swing up. In fact, after having refolded the model in step 34, I turn the model over to find that the corners I need to fold don't match those in the diagrams Any help is much appreciated

I'm not going to be any help because I'm stuck in the same place!

If I work it out I'll let you know.

Ah, the dreaded swivel Fold!

Made a video of it...hope it makes sense...the long and short of it is, step 34 is not clear...you're kind of folding the paper in and out...and the best way I found to do it is to pop the corners inside-out that are made by the valley fold in step 34, as it curves around to the backside of the model. You will see:


Okay my video is having issues....

Hi there! Well thanks so much for the instructions - and let me know if you can get that video working. I'm gonna attempt folding it from what you've told me just now...

Ahaha!!! I think I got it! What you told me to do worked like a dream!

I'm glad that made sense!

Gah! Ok so, now that ive got up to 37, I now can't for the life of me seem to transition between 37 and 38. Maybe I've just got fumbly fingers but when I reverse the corners my model doesn't look anything like it should. Help!?

any help?
