Robert J. Lang - Scarab (Insects and their Kin)

[Orikami]

Step #29 of the Scarab Beetle. I am having trouble again with this. Can't remember how I did this.... Any help ?

[myself]

It's a sort of petal fold with two diagonal creases as reference points. It's the same fold as step 15 of the treehopper, the tarantula and the ant.

I'll refold and try agin Thanks

Hello everybody,
I´d like to know what size of paper you use to fold this scarab: 15x15 cm OR 20x20? And what kind? The parchment like or what? I am trying to fold this model but 15x15 seems not to be very suitable

[myself]

I used 21x21 cm of printer paper, but it didn't turn out well. I think 20x20 cm or larger foil will give good results.
