later on day6:)

well, i did the head twist, it was not as difficult as I thought it would be.

so i did that, and now i have startes to shape the head...  

i will start to pre crease the tail part in 2 day...  the collapseing of that will go fast i think, just alot of rep.
and then i have my first RyuZin dragon,, i think it going to be awsome..

underneath aften the head twist

First step on shapeing

Day6, im done with the head part

okay, after a lot back and forth, I  finally managed  to collapse the head .. and I think I've done everything right, here you can see some of the process. it is not the finest performance, but this is also the first time I try head with shells ..



I was so upset yesterday when I went to bed, because I did not get the head right .. but when I got up today, I realized that I only needed 2 folds to complete the head .. and here it is

The legs

Head neck connection

the only thing I have not done is to shape the head plus the head twist.
I am very unsure of how to carry out the head twist .. There are so many layers of paper.
I've also spent so much time, that I should be absolutely sure before I start on it ..

now remains only the tail section, and it's going to be easy compared to the head section ....

it will only take alot of time to make all the creases...

Day5, making of the scales

so, here i have started on the scales. its a long way to go

Closer but some left,, i will soon do the head neck connection

Done:)

Here u can see the head neck connection. i used some time, but yeah, here it is:)

Back side

Tomorrow i will collapse the head and the rest of the body.. or maby i do it later..

Day4 the creases are done, and i have started to fold

now I'm finally finished with all the guide lines.

here are the pleats, in starting to make the scales

here comes the diamond shapes into play, from these you create 2 small pleat from one large

Like this.  You can see how much smaller the paper has been reduced to.

This is the length of the body, (from where the pleat start) (of the head part) it will not be less in length, but much smaller in width ..

it feels good to finally get going after so much pre creaseing..
i will do some more later today...

Day 3 Now, almost all of the creases are done

after 5 hours i almost done with all the creases.. i only have some scales creases left..

the diamond shapes.

almost all of the scales

tomorrow i will be done with the all creases. maby 1 more hour with work,  and  then i will start to collapse the shit:)

Day 2 the creases of the head are done!

After 2 H i think i have all the head creases in place...


ref point on head.. 12 lines in to the vertical line. is the center of the head .. you can see a mark there. from there its no problem

After some more

Tomorrow i will begin  on the painstaking work, which is to crease the shells and the diamond shapes... the scales are made from a 160 grid... so there is alot more folding befor i can start on the collapseing... maby 2 days..

Day 1 The Grid on one part is done

well, after 3 H the grid is done.   40 by 80.. im not sure what im going to do first. i need to sleep on it...
but i think it the head part...
here u can see 1 of the sheets:                                     


                                                                              1/5 mark

10/10

40/80

tomorrow i will make all the creases, and maby i will start on the collapseing.
