Thanks Well, I used some tracing paper that I managed to procure from my Tech teacher - it's thin, and sturdy enough for something with as many layers as this. As i recall, it was a 65 cm square. I agree, the legs are a pain and the diagrams aren't as good as I'd like them to be XD Follow them as closely as possible, and play with the paper. I had to go through two tries until I finally got it right, the first try ending up in the trash, and the second one with it, though I got the folds in the second attempt. This is the third attempt. Tips...I'd use some thin, but sturdy paper (tissue foil if you can find it, excellent for shaping), and expect multiple failures with this model >_< Sorry, I'm not much use for tips

No prob
I will get some big trace paper to try a third time, I used somthing like wrapping paper for the first 2. Ok, I will try, as more folds it like loses its shape so it become harder. I dont quite understant the legs but i will try, if I cant can I ask you for more help? Do you recomend me to do my own tissue foil (since I dont know were to get it) to try it?
Yep is a very complex model, most people do it on the third or more attemp or something like that.
Thanks very much for the tips

Ah, I never really found wrapping paper useful for my larger models It never held its shape for me and was altogether too flimsy And just between you and me, i didn't actually quite follow the diagrams on the legs o_o I sorta improvised Well, at least with the front legs, I managed the rear ones on my own XD And of you do need any help, don't hesitate to ask Make your own tissue foil if you can, I've never tried it so i wouldn't be much use there XD SaraAdams on YouTube has a very helpful video on how to make it, though. Here's a link to where you might find some paper [link] . Also some pretty epic books and stuff there, take a look Yeah, it's probably the most interesting piece in my collection lolol Worth the effort though, it turned out nicely o_O And no problem for the tips, I'll be right here if you have any other questions

Ok thanks, the problem is I dont want to use tissue foil until I can do it for the first time but thanks for the info and tips. I will see what can I do, I still have my second attempt without finishing it since I distracted myself doing the hercules beatle (I will post it soon). I will ask you if I need something, Thanks

Thanks I have some ideas and I have designed a couple of my own things, but they haven't turned out all that well >_< Maybe one of these days I'll come up with something relatively good, hm? XD

It's a matter of learning from what others have done and applying it to your own creativity.
