Okay, here's how to collapse the flap:

We'll start here, this is step 49 before you open it up.

Open it like this, then form a diamond (or two pyramids) inside the flap, squashing it flat.

Now just mirror that for the other flap, and you'll be good to go.

Thank you very much!, I have no words to say how you have helped me!

i need help in step 54

Okay, steps 54 and 55 are pretty tricky. The whole idea is to stretch the base, neatly hiding the extra paper inside the model. I'm not entirely sure I'm doing it the way the creator did it, but the paper inside is nice and neat and didn't bother me the rest of the model.

I apologize for the crinkly, ratty paper; I actually unfolded my finished Ibex to back up to these steps.

Because all my pictures are side views, to keep you oriented, the top of the model is to the left, the bottom of the model is to the right.

This is what your paper should look like at the start of step 54. If you can't get it to look like this, just pull from the top and bottom of the model, and part of it will spring up. This is a side view.

Sort of like the last part you were having trouble with, you need to squash a triangle in the bottom of the area. The difference is that the bottom will be flush with the base of the model, creating a flap that folds towards the top of the model.

You now need to come in from the inside of the model and push out part of it to create this mountain fold. I don't remember, but their might even be a crease for it...

On the top-side (of the model), begin to fold the flap down along the crease already there. It might not line up all the way, but it is where you should try to put the paper.

As you keep trying to fold it down, start pressing the model flat.

See if this works for you. If you don't understand it or something, let me know and I'll try to explain it a little better. Have fun!

Thank you very much!
The problem is that the paper is wrinkled and less sharp, it is very difficult to fold and eventually he did not fold properly, which paper do you use?.

I'm using a 15 inch square of tissue foil (which has been unfolded from the finished model and refolded to the last set of photographs).

it is very difficult to fold and eventually he did not fold properly

Are you trying to fold this, or are you helping someone else out?

Thank you,
I work here with a translation so that accidentally came out.
I'm not sure I'm doing the steps 69-73 as it should, I would like some help.
Thank you very much, I really appreciate it!

I'm sorry! I didn't realize you were using a translation, I'm sorry for my stupid question!

For step 69, lift the triangle up, spreading the base evenly.

70) Begin to flatten the triangle, but fold the sides with a mountain fold instead of a valley fold. The sides of the pyramid will begin to bulge out.

71) Your model will look like this once it's all flattened.

72) Fold the triangle down, then fold the little flap you just created down as well. You should be good to go! Let me know if you don't understand anything, I'll try to explain it better.

You have the right idea, you just need to shift the fold over.

It will stretch the model a bit. The left side should also be flat, folds should only be on the right side.

Okay, so far great, I do not understand the step 93-94, I will be happy if you show me [=

Step 93 is a reverse fold. Open up the antler with two layers on the inside and the rest on the outside. This should let you reverse fold it to the line on the diagram.

Step 94 is a closed sink. Open up the chest from the inside, one layer in. This will let you fold everything inside.

Sorry but I did not understand how to do Step 93.
Can you show me a picture?

Open up the antler.

It's a reverse fold, so flatten the back.

(It looks like this from the front.)

Now, just continue reversing it, and it will fold flat.

Do that for the other antler too, and you'll be good to go!
