Seal

Seal

I folded this model the first time during a boring lecture of electrical engineering.



Start with a Fishbase.


Step 1

1. Valley fold about one fifth of the whole length upwards. You can vary this length to suit your taste.

Step 2

2. Valley fold the point back down to the bottom line.

Step 3

3. Mountain fold the model in halves.

Step 4

4. Valley fold the flap down, repeat on the other side.

Step 5

5. Inside reverse fold the flap downwards to form the neck. The bottomline should lie horizontally. Rotate the model ninety degrees clockwise.

Step 6

6. Inside reverse fold downwards to form the head.

Step 7

7. Inside reverse fold the tip of the nose back into the head.
Valley fold the front fins forwards on both sides.
