Cool!
Thank you for that video! My friend showed me this website and then, later, showed me his last waltz. I thought it was cool, and I really liked it. Thanks.
This is simply amazing I
This is simply amazing I can't wait to try it out.
OMG TY I finally completeed
OMG TY I finally completeed on.The hardest part was finding the type of paper that would hold lol.
Many thanks!
I had dreamed of folding this model ever since I first saw pictures of it on the net. Now I could finally try my hand on it, and thanks to your clear and well-paced directions, was able to complete it with little difficulty. Thank you!
I actually modified the female head a bit, since I don't really like the gaping V shape of it. So instead of the second inside reverse fold I made a valley-mountain pleat from chin to neck, to make the remaining point stand up vertically (and then outside-reversed it normally). This gives the head a nice and round shape, though not so 3D, and at least with dark paper the pleat does not stand out too much. With the male, this head style leaves a bit too little hair to work with, but then again, I find that the original "chiselled" features suit him better than her.
Is there another way to see
Is there another way to see this pleat i am supose to fold to make the males jacket? I mean do you have a diagram or know where i can see this part.
A hard step
It seems booklet 10 isn't currently available in the BOS supplies shop. In any case, though, I fear diagrams will not help you with that step. It's easily the hardest step in the model, and I tried my best to clarify it somewhat. It still stays a relatively hard step to perform.
The only help I can offer is to suggest you keep on trying, and possibly rewatch the sequence several times on the way.

what type of paper did you
what type of paper did you use and what type of paper can i not use? can i use wrapping paper?
Paper choice
I'd recommend foil-backed paper. This model profits from paper that stays folded, and the foil part helps with that. Other than that, the paper shouldn't be all that thick, as is always the case with box-pleating. Other than that, you can also use other paper and then dampen or use MC to connect the box-pleating layers. In the video I used Kraft paper, not to thin either - so it does work. But best results are achieved with foil or water/MC.
