Hints and tips?

For folding, The best advice is to always fold as cleanly as possible, and take your time. Everything else comes with experience.

What are ‘CPs’?

Crease patterns are a structural representations of origami models, shown as a schematic of lines; they are essentially origami models unfolded and laid flat. Lines on a crease pattern may be indicated by ‘mountain’ or ‘valley’ folds to show how the folds alternate. If you’re particularly skilled at origami, they become useful instructions for building models. A common base fold is usually discernable, all the intermediate details can be worked on from there.

I’m literally at the last part, just the wings, and I don’t know how to do it.

RE-POST REQUEST.
It's been pretty dead lately, not even requests, so I don't know if any one will read this. Can some one please re-post "Origami Pro 7" and "Origami Tanteidan Convention 29". They've been shared everywhere else already, so why not in 4chan?

No, I'm not upset. You're saying it's hard to find when it's readily available. I was just simply stating where it was to be found. Now, if that makes you think I am upset by letting you know that, then maybe you have a few screws loose.

You're absolutely right. I forgot about those four files posted at the biginning. They are all still good files, ready to download.

There's more on zhezhi xueyuan than just Origami Tanteidan Magazine #216 and Cute & Funny Origami. There's also Folding Fantasy 3, Origami Masterpieces, Origami Life: Wings & Tails and Daily Origami. But I refer you to my previous comment about been treated like a chump and a sucker if you share something here.

I remember I tried to make one 3 headed origami once, from a book I found here called “Fantastic creatures”. Even though I used a large silk paper, I wasn’t able to finish it. However, I was able to make the horse (which the separate horse rider), from David Brill’s “Brilliant Origami”. I used a triangle piece of a thick A2 paper (as the book recommends). Nowadays—after several years—I’ve done the horse again, but this time made out of a triangle off an A4 printer paper. I finished while I was working, because even though phones are forbidden, they let me use my Kindle, so I just sent the .pdf to it and successfully finished it. Now the girl I’m flirting with has challenged me to make a dragon, please suggest me what model should I try, based on my origami skills :). Thank you for your time and for welcoming me back <3.

other anon here, not native english speaking
used with my ink printer white cardboard/paper stuff used to paint with paints for children
gramature from top of head 230g
anyway just test what printer is able to bend and get through own insides printing
I think painting it with white glue or cyanoacryle might make it even more tough, tho I doubt is economical; seen guy modeled roundish stuff covering tires for armored car from cyanoacryle

True, but jannies are very biased towards old threads too. There's that other one that has hit the bump limit for years and is still there because jannies are making sure that it stays there

I don't get the question. lot of magazines vary in thickness. Those squares are almost thicker than I can use. It is a free travel mag so they are trying to look fancy. Here it is before I finished it and square of it
