Pegasus (Satoshi Kamiya): Folded from Tracing Paper
Difficulty Level: 
High intermediate
Model type: 
Mammals
Fantasy
Paper ratio: 
Square
Review of the paper used: 
Japanese Foil Review

Paper: Some foil wrapping paper I found round Christmas 2006
Initial paper size: 34.8cm x 34.8cm
Model size: height 6cm, length 14cm, wingspan 14cm

Today someone asked me whether I could help him with a couple of steps for this model. I hadn't folded it before, but spontaneously decided to try it out. This is the result of my second attempt. You don't want to see the first one - I'd used a 26cm square of thick paper, and thick just doesn't work for this model.

The diagrams for the Pegasus. Aren't they really hard to understand?

Actually, no, I thought they were quite clear. I didn't have any step where I was puzzled and didn't know what to do. Satoshi Kamiya does instructions that are pretty easy to read (given some folding experience), I think.

I haven't asked Satoshi Kamiya for permission on making videos on his designs thus far, so I won't be making any just yet. Currently, I don't feel I have the time to make videos on his designs - I've been insanely busy, I fear. Once I find the time, and re-evaluate whether his designs aren't too complex to explain in a video, I will decide whether I will ask for his permission. Only if he agrees will I make videos.
So all in all, at least in the near future, there won't be videos on Satoshi Kamiya's designs here.
