Hello folks, I have been enjoying folding the Gigantosaurus (from Nature Study), I am using 36" x 36" tracing paper treated with MC.
I have gotten stuck on step 55. It says "Wrap the paper to the front" but I cannot figure out a way to do this. I'm not sure if I messed up somehow earlier in the process?!?!
finished with step 53 (angle of photo is about 45 degrees off from diagram)
finished with step 54
I cannot figure out any sensible way to bring this bit of paper around to the front that does not result in a crumpled mess. Maybe I am somehow missing the "small inner edge" ?? Any help very much appreciated. I will keep wrestling with it.

Can you try closed sinking it and then folding it over? Otherwise I'd be stumped too.

Re: Gigantosaurus by Shuki Kato
Based solely on the pictures you posted (I don't have the book), I'd recommend closed-sinking the edge and folding it out from underneath.
Re: Gigantosaurus by Shuki Kato
I appreciate the responses. I don't quite see how it could be a closed sink. It is more of a swivel fold with a squash to get from 54 to 55. I have added a video which might make things clearer.

Re: Gigantosaurus by Shuki Kato
Step 54 is a kind of spread-sink with a swivel-fold, yes. To closed-sink the edge, the vertical crease undone by the spread-sink will be the line you're sinking along. The mountain fold(s) created in 54 will all be turned into valley folds.
