Origami lobster (Manuel Sirgo Alvarez) help

Post by Origami_Domo »

So, I'm trying to fold the origami lobster by Manuel Sirgo Alvarez (these are the free diagrams: http://www.mediafire.com/?o33ayfqwfo7lyhr). I'm stuck on steps 24-25. I think it's a type of sink fold, but I haven't seen this type before. Could somebody give me an explanation or a picture diagram or a video showing how to do it? Thanks and happy folding! :D

it is going to start off as a squash fold, from the bottom up. However, at the upper part, there are three flaps insteadof two--two end flaps, and the thicker middle. That middle will also be squashed, and at the "point" of the pre-squashed square, you'll have another squash linking into the upper one, cleaning it all up
