merli · Post by **merli** » February 27th, 2008, 10:45 am

Not yet ... but I am going to order at least Works Of Satoshi Kamiya, Origami Fantasy by Fumiaki Kawahata and Origami Design Secrets by Robert Lang soon. Advice me please shop where can I order _all_ those three books for normal price (I don't want to pay shipping twice) to pay with credit card or PayPal and ship to Eastern Europe. Thnx

Sorry I know that this has been asked before but can someone re-upload the pics on how to do the hands.

Thanks

I've asked for this before but it seems that no one has those pictures anymore. Than I've figured out it by myself, just following precisely the diagrams.
Ask about the steps you have problems with - I'll try to explain

I get stuck at step 112/113. I can't see what 'layer' is supposed to be opened

Vykintas73 · Post by **Vykintas73** » May 1st, 2008, 1:22 pm

In step 111 you fold one layer up (so the edge the arrow starts on is now on top of the "mountain" in step 112). In step 112 you flatten that part by pulling to both sides (horizontally not vertically). In step 113 you continue to "sink" the "mountain" of step 112. Step 114 is just the continuation of that sink.
Hope I didn't make it even more confusing

Could anyone please tell me how to open up the layers at step 105? I've tried to open them up in several ways, but it never really looked like in the diagrams.
Once I get this step right the rest should be easy.

Thanks in advance.

You just have to pull down the outermost part with some force (carefully though not to tear the paper apart) so it becomes the lowest part of step 106 while the innermost part of 105 becomes the upper part of 106.

Thanks, I figured it out. I hadn't noticed that I had to open the long pleated part as well. Now let's see if I can finish this lovely model.

well, at last i finished the wizard, i have to do unthinkable things for getting the diagrams but well, here it is. the hardest part is modeling the face, there's no instructions, but at least come out pretty decent.

pd: the paper was made 5 years ago.
bye

Hi.. i'm new on this forum

I recently folded kamiya's Bahamut and now I'm trying to fold the wizard.
I came to this topic in order to find some help but I saw that there is a lot of problems with the copyrighted material and the scans on the net, etc.
Well... I've the same problem with this xD
I don't have those 2 pages hahaha... I will continue folding this with my recently ~downloaded tanteidan 77~ but I think this forum is not fair with the people like me (that have to download all), because I:

1) Don't have a job (I'm a student)
2) Live in Chile. Here I'm lucky if I found an origami magazine for kids of kindergarden. (Good origami books don't exist here)
3) Don't have an access to use any credit card (my parents don't have one neither my friends)

4) ONLY knows origami and folded that Bahamut thanks to INTERNET!! u_u

THAT's why I HATE when you say: "Buy that book blah blah blah" that's not fair

Please think about it. I really want to have those 2 pages because in kamiya's book the diagrams are soo clear. (in tanteidan 77 wizard is explained. OK. But only in Japanese and only in 113 steps u_u)

Ah!... and... If I COULD buy books on internet they would cost about twice because of the cost of shipping it to Chile :/

But I'm SURE that any of all you that have the original book (that I REALLY want to have because it's beautiful but I CAN'T) will never scan those 2 pages... two mere pages... and upload for those who really like this art and can't buy the "copyrighted material" because don't live in USA or Europe. SORRY FOR THAT, SERIOUSLY.

Ronald Koh.. who also has "copyrighted material" understood my situation clearly and sent an email to me with HIS diagrams of his King Kobra when I asked him for them. And said me only one thing: HAPPY FOLDING. (I think kamiya would do the same thing. But I don't have his email and don't know japanese u_u) This is not about money... I think is about the passion for this Art, the Origami

ByeBye

P.S.: I totally self-taught English, sorry if I sound rude or something like that (that is not my desire). And sorry for my English, I'm still learning :p

Kamiya's e-mail is on his site, folders.jp, and like most Japanese people, they have a fair grip on the English language since everyone takes English courses in high school. (But I would doubt that he would be as generous as Koh...)

I know there are some folders from Chile on the forum here, so hopefully they can direct you to the resources they've used.

But, if I were in your situation, I would just save up my money and keep my eyes peeled for a good deal. I would also spend more time designing my own things. Anyway, I wish you luck!

yeap,

please Blackwargreymon don't accuse anybody here for not sharing those pages, most of them just don't want to break the rules of the forum (and they are there to keep good relationships with creators and designers) and also many have done hard efforts to achieve the ways of getting an original kamiya book, as you probably should do also. Remember that it is also imported to USA and Europe from Japan (I don't think there are english editions of it).

now, we have a 50-persons group here in Chile, 15 of them regullarly gathers every two weeks to fold models, share info and organize exhibitions and events, like "1000 Cranes for Peace" last August 2nd on Santiago, some of us are from other cities. Personally, when I've approached to them, three years ago, I could acces to a lot of books and diagrams and I've made really good friends, is real that to reach these books is difficult on Chile, but far from impossible, some of us has huge libraries at home, try to contact us, this is the web site of Origami Chile

being sincere,..... if you have downloaded tanteidan 77, why do you want diagrams of the book? It can be done without any problem, i've folded my wizard with the magazine. try it...
