Wow, video is really in low quality, I couldn't even see the tinier folds, I had to figure it out by logic :P, but anyway great job, the thing I like about you, is that you explain thins well for beginners, I'm now in some pre-advanced level, and your talking was a little boring, but excellent work, keep it up....

One thing I don't understand, is why do you need permission to make tutorials on models of some of the artists?

[AdamsSara]

Due to copyright law, and if that is too disputable for you, out of respect for the designers.

hey, thank you so much for all of your video's, I started origami half a year ago.

I just have problems with the fold you make at 3:25 and not just with this model, it's just hard. do you have any tips?

[AdamsSara]

Well, you're basically unsinking a point, i.e. reversing an open sink. Possibly this notion will help you.

my name is jeremiah from georgia atlanta and i have fully achived the ground beetle after 2 tries..........sorry but mine even looks better than yours a bit but you are still more advanced than me thamks for this it really hepls

[AdamsSara]

Well done! Ah, I have to admit, the models I produce in the videos aren't that pretty. That's mostly because I concentrate on explaining and showing, rather than folding neatly and all that. Somewhat of a compromise. :)

@bonebreakboy Wow, things you say are really rubbish, I couldn't even see the point of saying that, I had to figure it out slowly :O
