Greetings & a question on Bird of Prey
Posted: December 13th, 2005, 5:32 pm
Hello all, I am relatively new to the hobby, & brand new to these forums. I have mostly been sticking to some basics, just to try to master some of the basic folds. I have been making alot of cranes, frogs, water bombs, waterlillies, & tulips with stems. I can't afford to buy any books, so I am relying 100% off of diagrams I find online to fold. I decided to take a break from the norm, & find a new intermediate type of model, that I could make from a traditional square. After some searching I found the Bird of Prey diagram at :

I was cruising along fine, until I got to step 13, & I couldnt get the swivel fold to come out as it should have. Retracing my steps, I can only assume that I somehow made an error in my pleating in step 3. I was wondering if someone could clarify how I should do this pleating. I think I am stuck in a rut on how it should come out, & I can't get out of this box to see how I should actually fold it.
I realize that this diagram is pretty basic, but if someone could show me the pleat in a different light, or take an end pic of the finished fold, I might be able to get past this.
Please help me!!!
Thanks so much!
