type of paper

tadashi mori has avid on youtube on how to collapse the crease pattern and folding the rest of the model. in the video he uses thai urnyu.

Paper

The paper should have a size of about 50x50cm or bigger.

My 1st try I made was from a paper of 70x70cm. But i just made the base because the paper was too thick.
The Second try from tissue paper was about 50x50cm and i managed it. :)
Well... doesn't look exactly like this one in the picture but i like it.

can the phoenix be folded

can the phoenix be folded with tissue foil?

Phoenix 3.5

I managed to collapse the CP (my 2nd CP), but 11-inch/28cm copy paper is too small and/or thick!
Also, does anybody know what kind of paper is thicker than kami, thinner than copy paper, and stronger than each? It's also the same color, but different textures, on each side. Thanks in advance!

Paper

I know this is kind of late but I think the paper you want is tant.

I think I know

The size of the paper was 60x60 cm. I saw him folding this Phoenix 3.5 in youtube.

Diagrams

Do you happen to know if the diagrams for this model is recorded in any of his books? And if so, which? Thanks.

No diagrams

To the best of my knowledge, no diagrams exist for this model (yet). However, I know people have folded the phoenix from crease patterns.

He should publish these...

He should really consider publishing these in books showing how to do each step by step, i could understand the time consumption it would take however, but man, sooo many people would enjoy it and appreciate this from him, me being an orgiami lover, id buy this book the day itd come out.

Kamiya-book

Ya it would rock Kamiya Satoshi is awesome

I think he published his

I think he published his first book before he designed the phoenix. I can see Kamiya-san publishing another book, but it'll probably need another couple of years.

No diagrams

To the best of my knowledge no diagrams exist. See the other comments for references to the crease pattern and resources for help with collapsing the crease pattern.

Phoenix 3.5 diagrams

I found diagrams for this somewhere online (SK's own diagrams!) but they are low quality, wordless, and they don't use Yoshizawa notation. But I can fold this from CP anyway, so I don't care about the diagrams.
Just wanted to let you know that diagrams DO exist--they just suck.
