nice review here : http://www.angelfire.com/art/gilad/BO_D ... crets.html
After receiving it, read it very carefully. It only has 585 pages and is written in an amusing Lang style, so you should be done with it very quickly. Always fold the models when they appear, or even better fold the "Ruby-Throated Hummingbird" first. Take care to fold it with normal printerpaper to increase fun. After doing all that come back and tell us again if this book is for masochistic folders or not

Wordgames, are you talking about Eastern Pond Turtle? If so, can you post a pic? I have only ever seen Robert Lang's pictures, and I want to see other results.Wordgames wrote:...the greatest turtle diagram ever...
In my copy of the book, it's the Western pond turtle. Not that I would know the difference between a Western pond turtle and an Eastern pond turtle if I saw one. Whatever it's called, I folded one. Actually, folded two of them, since the first one didn't turn out very well.Wordgames, are you talking about Eastern Pond Turtle? If so, can you post a pic?

Photos of the one that did turn out well are here.
Photos of the first attempt will not be made public.
