[somnifaery]

[chosetec]

Hi, nice to see you here! las referencias son 3/8, 5/8. tan simple

[origamiguy91]

hey, can you give me a crease pattern for this thing? i want to fold it, but i can't seem to find the reference points just by looking at the picture..... :S

[chosetec]

see later comment...

[samkilltoo]

does math play a role in here?? how did u figure how to fold them??

[jwcrane]

I'd have to agree with Cupcake. The last one was more organic, but you have a point on the body, though this one has some body issues as well. The exposed layers on the front legs, the angled back, etc. I like the back legs and face pretty well, maybe with the old style teeth and tail with a new body it'd look spiffy. Not complaining though, its a good design, there aren't enough beavers. Please don't cut off my hands with your light saber >_>;.

[Cupcakemuffn]

Hey, its Cupcake. To be honest, I prefer your last version of the Brass Rat, just because it looks a lot more like a beaver, and because its more... organic than this one. Just wanted to mention that.

[chosetec]

Thanks, I thought my old one had a really bad body though, only good at both ends. The body was just crushed and mashed together, really shameful. I might try to shape this new one more organically though.

Still holding your people hostage. you want them back?

[Cupcakemuffn]

My people? I didn't know I owned people ;)

[castword]

That was incredible! What would you say is the difficulty level on it? Harder then the Chocobo? lol

[chosetec]

about the same.

[castword]

ahh nice! Then I'm up for the challenge!

[jwxiao13]

wow very impressive

[hanksimon]

Great model. How long will it take average mortals to fold?

[chosetec]

not much more than an hour, I think, the folds are not that complex for this one.

[messitup]

-0-...speechless

[giropa]

really impressive model, and process.

What paper is it?

thk.

[chosetec]

some gold painted paper from Paper Source, I don't remember the name. it wasn't foil.

[y0ut00ber]

I doubt I will ever get the iPod Touch :(

[der8lub]

cant wait for your next vid

[aliveCarm]

Wow!!!
