No, because it isn't a boar shape. Colour would not change the result.

Your rooster is neat indeed! Why not let it stand by itself?

Which one(s) are you having trouble with?
Post a picture of where you are stuck, someone can probably help you.

>>583065
Unless I'm mistaken the beak was originally crimped, but the pinched beak looks better imo. Also the tail pleats went all the way yp but you curved the top. Very nice.

>>583067
Absolutely we will try and help! Don't beat yourself up >>583060 this scan is rather blurry, some of the steps are unclear.

>>583068
I see. Well, in fact, I couldn't tell about the beak because diagram is, as you said, rather blurry.
As for the tail's feathers, that's my habits (same with feathered wings).
Also, I folded the bottom of the wings as mountain folds instead of reverse folds...

Just noticed you omitted part 3 of step 43 (which makes the "collar" rounder), but the pattern from your paper really fit with the underneath layer (it makes a green oval spot!).

It looks like your paper's quality is bad. If you try with a better paper, it will definitely improve the result.

I'd say it depends on your origami habits. I folded mine with 15 cm duo paper, but it ends up quite small (as per attached picture). A neck (or tail) length is around 3 cm, if it gives you an idea.

>>583430
TY, I'll probably try with something bigger as I tend to accidentally rip my kami when folding multiple layers

This time a cherry-red ox and orange tiger. I found the legs hard to shape for both models so they ended up a bit wonky. At some early stage I screwed up the tiger so I kinda gave up on it at the end (the camera angle hides some of the glaring imperfections). I'll probably re-attempt before moving on to the rabbit.

>>583778
Thank you. The paper color reminded me of eggs.

>>583823
I was lost at that step for a while too, but I'm not sure how best to describe it. If you're still having trouble a day later, I can draw a diagram showing where each edge ends up.

I've been working through this for the last few days and I can't help but feel like I have some kind of learning disability.
Everything goes well, but then there's an instruction that I just cannot decipher even after 20 minutes and by then the paper is all crumpled from failed attempts.
What should I do when that happens? Move on to the next one and try again later?

>>583904
try some easier models by searching on youtube. Jo Nakashima is good as he also shows the diagrams, so you can connect the instructions to the physical move.

much as i respect montroll, his diagramming and instructions are ass and pretty hard to follow as a beginner.

>>583904

I'm completely stumped by step 17 of the rooster.
These are just normal folds, right?

>>583988
Scratch that, I figured it out.
My only advice is that the diagram is somewhat misleading. If you move the corner of the last fold you made to where it is in the next step, it'll do what you want with some help.

I'm having trouble with monkey step 17, did I do the push fold incorrectly or?

Looks good to me so far.
For step 17, you have to extract the corner of the paper, which was folded in step 7. The rest of the model doesn't get changed (but it helps if you open the bottom part a bit when pulling that corner).

>>584289
Amazing, Ty anon!

I'm not sure I did steps 14 and 17 right on the heart but my first folds are done! Gonna try something harder now, maybe the sea serpent.

>>584614
It looks like you did these steps correctly, anon.

Can someone give me a hand with step 14 on the sea serpent? I'm really not sure what I'm supposed to be folding, and googling "crimp fold" didn't really help.

>>584636
Crimp fold is a combination of reverse folds.
So, for the top part and the bottom part, separately, you have to inside-reverse fold on the creases made in step 12; then, inside-reverse fold again, on the creases made in step 10.

Nice job indeed!
For the next one, that's your choice of course, but if you want to directly use the experience you gained from that sea serpent, you could try folding the western dragon (which is like a sea dragon with legs).

step 17 of the horse is kicking my ass, how is that fold supposed to be made?

Make a reverse fold on the bottom left first (the part with a diagonal mountain fold, not very visible..).
Then, open the layer following the long horizontal valley fold.

>>583988
>>583996
yeah, I'm not gonna lie those are misleading and uninformed instructions, you gotta figure out about 70% of it on your own and do a weird inside out kinda fold and the only other thing I'll add is pay attention to how it looks in step 18 and try to think about how it can match that shape from step 17.

>>591815
18 is basically 14 on the left side of the model.
To make it easier, one can fold 14, 15 16, and unfold back to 14; then fold 17 as 14 on the left, and assemble precreased folds to reach 18.

>>591815
And these instructions are not really misleading nor uninformed. They are a bit advanced, so maybe you need more experience to get it more easily?

Hey, can anyone make a gif / video of how to fold step 8 in the rat (pg. 22)? I'm having a ton of trouble with it. Picture is of what I have so far, I think I might've fucked up at some early stage.

>>591957
Indeed, there are some problems in your model:

- Left part of your picture (which is top part of the diagram) is wrong: it looks like a mistake from step 2.
Left and right corners (on the diagram) of the square are inside your model, when they should be outside. (They are the points that will be moved in step 8, number 1, and which are missing in your model).
You might want to check how to fold a "fish base", which is what you have on step 3.

- It seems you did two closed sinks for step 7, but these really are just open sinks. With closed sinks, you can't fold step 8 (number 1), as the flaps would be attached to the bottom part.

(Sorry, no picture to help right now, as I am not at home & have no paper at hand.)

>>591959
Alright, thank you. I've started out somewhat recently using one of the sites in the sticky, but I wanted to try the LFT book. Seems like I have a bit more to learn before I can fold these confidently.

>>591960
You should look for basic bases and model diagrams then,
Fish base, frog base, square / preliminary base, ...
Traditional models like the crane (tsuru), cicada, kabuto (samurai helmet), ...

Videos can help seeing folding techniques in action & their results, but folding only with videos won't help much with understanding diagrams.

And you can also ask here for help (or probably in a new topic if it is for a model not in MC&TCZ or not from Montroll).

How do you guys display your 2D models?

this is my first time ever doing this though and i'm pretty sure i'm miss understanding basic instruction steps but feel better by blaming it on the paper.

>>597623
As that saying goes, "a bad workman blames his tools".
Anyway, if you post a picture of your fold where you are blocked, someone will try to help you.

>>597628
it helped once i read the legend in the beginning instead of just jumping into folding.
however cutting the paper into a square each time i attempt to fold is getting annoying and i would like to get better at this.
are there any guides for 8.5x11 papers? I check the catalog and couldn't find anything.

What is your problem, really?
Compared to the diagram, your folds from step 21 are a bit too wide (you folded until the legs on the right instead of stopping earlier, cf. attached picture), but that doesn't seem to be critical.
Are you stuck with step 23, the spread-squash folds?

>>582941
what paper size should i use for this book? i tried with 7.5cmx7.5cm but i could not even make the spade. Is my paper size too small, or do i need to practice more?

>>602335
It depends on your experience, but at first, I'd recommend 15cmx15cm at least - and 20x20 or more for the latest models in the book.
The folds by OP (picutred on that cup) are from 15x15.
With a paper large enough, you can understand the folds more easily, and when you are familiar with the technics involved in the model, you can decrease the paper size.

can anyone help me with the step 15-17 on the monkey figure?

>>602374
''pull out'' - pull out whät?

>>602374
>>602376
17's "pull out": that's the corner of the initial square, which is inside the folded part.
In step 18, the bottom-right part of the diagram is that corner.
Try opening the layers and extract the inside corner. (Sorry, no paper at hand...)

>>602377

>>602385
1. Focus only on the long vertical valley fold (cf. picture).
There will be annoying layers in the back, just don't mind them for now.

2. Next, insert a finger where indicated by the large arrow, and push gently the layers from inside, starting to form montain folds on the upper part.

3. Keep gently pushing, and with the other hand, control the mountain folds so that they align as expected.

4. And you are done (previously mentioned mountain folds are in blue; the red line should be on the center crease line or so).
Well, almost done, because you need to do the same on the right.

Hope it helped a bit, but tell me if something is not clear!

>>602432
I assume step 36 is the problem. The blue line in each picture is the center line (I used another paper for the explanation and only folded the relevant parts to get a larger model for the pictures).

1., 2. From step 35, open the rabbit ear.

3. Refold on the long crease, going all the way up.

4., 5. Now for the tricky part: insert a finger where indicated by the arrow, and start folding along the (non-existent) green valley fold. See pictures 6, 7, 8 for the final position of the red part (perpendicular or so to the center line).

6. When that red part is placed as intended, keep it in place and flatten the rest of the layer (green mountain fold).
Then, repeat on the other side.

7., 8. Result.

As before, tell me if it isn't helpful. That step is not so hard to do, but not so easy to explain.

>>602432
Could you progress on your fold, or are you still stuck somewhere?

A bit late, but pic related might help a bit.
First, squash the top part using creases of step 40; the bottom part of the model won't stay flat.
Then, use the existing crease marks shown (not very clearly) in step 41 to flatten the model again.
Pic related shows what creases to use, and bottom right part is a bottom biew of the model.

Not the anon who asked, but it was a great help for me, so thank you!

Hey guys, I found it really usefull. Thanks alot.
Also, what kind of papet yall use? I dont think regular card or even notebook paper be the quality I expect.

>>611253
You can use regular letter paper to fold all models in OP book. Result may not be pretty but it is good and not costly for training.
Better paper like origami duo color paper is nice too.

>>611921.
Do not say what it is not, for simple models if any paper, but for all those in the book it must be a special paper, super thin and resistant to folding.

How small is it possible to fold this one?

>>613946
Depends on how thin your paper is, 15-20cm with 40-60gsm should be ok.

>>611924
Just because they can be folded with printer paper it doesn't mean you should do that.
Don't get me wrong, your model is fine but it would definitely look better if you used better paper. It doesn't even have to be expensive to look good: make and paint some double tissue

Years ago I made some archives of all the available JOAS/Tanteidan stuff. It's been long enough that it might be useful to do that again, but I have some gaps to fill in...

Also an even more annoying one: The versions I have for issues 185, 186, 195, and 199 don't include the "English Digest" translation pages. Does anyone have copies of those issues that include these?

On MediaFire It means that the file was sent by a non-signed-in user. So the file will get deleted after a certain amount of days (I think it was 7).

Iirc the file will stay up as long as people will keep downloading it but I'm not sure.

You can achieve a similar purpose by using services like WeTransfer, which is cool if you don't want to make an account and don't want to stay below 8 mb

Also thank you for Bos 2015 spring! I'm sorry i don't have the 199 digest but maybe if I ask around I'll be able to get it. And I'm glad I was able to help

>>621652

Thanks again man. No worries on 199, I'm sure it'll show up eventually.

I love that they started doing the translations. Fuse's column is so awesome, it's great to be able to read the articles in this magazine now.

I've been fiddling with OCRing and machine translating the old issues. It's definitely not as good as a real translation, but it seems kinda workable. Gotta figure out a decent workflow for it though, it looks like it might end up being a pain with the way the magazine is formatted.

>>621659
For a recent workflow I'd suggest two ways

1st way: this one is free
Use Google LENS to OCR. This will be hard to automate but it gives the best result. Sadly one page at a time and smartphone reliant.

2nd way if you are impressed by LENS you should give Google vision a try. This is a paid option but, if I'm not mistaken, there are some free credits. On GitHub there is ready to use code, but you'll need the API key.

There are other options, such as tesseract but they are subomptimal, especially with resolutions under 400 dpi and languages that don't use Latin alphabet. I'm sure you could also find some libraries to train yourself but honestly, I'm not very practical either!

>>621660
Also, I forgot to add a curiosity:
Do you guys remember the Google captcha?
There was a time when we had to pretty much do a manual OCR to solve it! And I suspect Google vision was also possible thanks to this.

>>621660
Yeah my first tests have been with tesseract. It seems to work pretty well on the recognition, but I haven't tested it enough to know what the limitations might be. Seems easier than lens if I'd have to do every page of like 160 issues -- with tesseract I could at least automate it.

The actual translation part is also something I need to mess with. It looks like DeepL will translate OCR'd PDFs and keep the formatting, which would be easy. I've been more impressed with translations from ChatGPT though, and I don't think there's a straightforward way of getting those into the PDF with the formatting (at least not without manually editing every single one). If it was just the articles, I guess could just do plain text, kinda like the translation pages in new issues. I guess that would still be better than nothing.

>>621662
I saw that with Google vision there's 1000 units month/free, now it would be cool to test what an unit is. I didn't understand if 1 unit = 1 photo... I didn't have much time to investigate further nor to test it.

It would be cool to make a Google-lens-style view: everything gets kept but the text is changed to the translation. This should be possible as well but I think doing a single document like they do now should be fine
