Dun dun dun dunnn! Karol to the rescue

thanks again Kafar! you are sooooooooo helpful but please help me with the shaping!

Hello, I'm new to this forum and am looking for some help with Nguyen Con'gs Gorilla.

The available diagram is of very poor photographic quality after the initial pre-creases (which are properly illustrated). I am totally stuck at step 58, where the diagram from the side view doesn't seem to match the collapsing model and the arrows make no sense.

Can someone please kindly help?

Hello again Origamists!

I've managed to make some progress (after much frustrating struggle with the very poor diagrams), but am now stuck at step 102-105 which depicts the shaping of the thumb. I note the diagram shared earlier regarding the fingers, but this precedes those steps.

Can someone please kindly help?

I'm not sure where the original diagrams are published, all I could find is a crappy scan on a filesharing site. Hope it's the same version you're looking at.

Step 102 is a swivel fold, step 103 is a mountain fold, step 104 is two asymmetrical reverse-folds (or inside swivels, if you prefer to think about it that way), step 105 you flip the layers around to the other side of the flap (the dotted line is a mountain fold which isn't visible until step 106)
