My second model to be diagrammed is this Lion. It’s base is a sunken fish base with a bird base at

the center top, and a very simple trick in the larger flap to get ears.

The square - model ratio is 0.3 So you can practice it with a square from an A4 sheet of

paper.As usual it’s better folding the base from the

pattern to get a cleaner model.

180º

10. Fold acording the creases while pushing in where the arrow points. The model will not lie flat.

11. Bring the corners to the center flattening the model

12. Reverse fold corners.

13. Crease bisecting the angles Turn Over

14. From here we build the birbase at the top. Squash and push the lower valley.

15. Squash to the left, forming a preliminary fold
