Designer: Satoshi Kamiya
Folded from: 18 inch masking paper
Finished: June 6, 2023
This was probably the hardest model I’ve folded, even compared to other works such as the “Ancient Dragon”. The folding of the shell was not too bad, but my inattentiveness to detail while creasing did lead to some unclean folds. What really was difficult was the shaping the body. Forming the 3d belly was difficult, as it required some folds in tight spots. I also messed up on forming the head, leading to it looking weirdly boxy and wrinkly. As a whole, I kind of failed on reaching a round and dynamic shape for the turtle, but at least it looks cute I guess?
