The Origami Forum

I am in the process of folding Nguyen Hung Cuong's gorilla right now. I can collapse the crease pattern without any problems, but the shaping is tough. If anyone can help me out on how to fold the fingers, that would be very helpful. Thanks in advance!

And here is picture of the gorilla for anyone who hasn't seen it:

I think this image will hepl you ^^ It was posted by Nguyen on the VOG forum:

Thank you! That will help a ton!

what is the refrence point for the thin strip of paper on top? Please help me! I am only free for a few days!

anyone listening? Help me !

The references are based on the inner square of paper. Just eyeball the strip of paper along both edges making sure they're even and fold the rest per norm. Adding a strip of paper along the x and y axis won't affect the ratios - it will remain a square. The majority of the extra paper is unused and folded under anyways.

what is the strip at the top and left side for?

@origami geek: i think the strip is for adding teeth in the lower and upper jaw? I am not fully sure

ok, i collapsed the cp without any problems.now i am stuck on the shoulders..any one helping visually shall be appreciated

mir numaan--perhaps you haven't yet realized. but on a fast day, the "what have you folded lately" thread gets one post. otherwise this board is overall pretty slow. be patient when you ask for help. if you don't get a response here, i suggest you go to flickr and see who has successfully folded the model you are interested in (i.e., cecelia, eyal, etc.) and ask them.

thanks for the tip bethnor! Btw, have u folded the model? And one more thing, are there more experienced origamists' on flickr then on this forum?

mir numaan. The forum is mixed in experience. We have some of the greatest folders and some of the most basic beginners. If you want to bug someone with excessive questions on Flickr, go ahead. It's really easy to get an answer on this forum in comparison to Flickr IMHO.

thanks Razzmatazz ! now to my problem, the shoulders please help!

The reference for this plz? I can't find it!
