Eagle (Nguyen Hung Cuong)

Designer: 
Nguyen, Cuong Hung
Folder: 
Adams, Sara
Diagrams in the book: 
Licence to Fold
Difficulty Level: 
Complex
Model type: 
Animals
Birds
Paper ratio: 
Square

Paper: 48cm square of double tissue, glued together with MC
Finished model: wingspan 22cm, body length 12.5cm

I recently made double tissue for the first time, and this is the first model I folded from that paper. Rudolf (http://www.faltkunst.de) had also challenged me: who would fold this eagle first? One week later, and I'm done. Rudolf, what's your status on the eagle?

It's my first fold of the eagle, and it's not as tidy as I'd like, but I'm happy that I managed to complete it.

Sara,

This is amazing!! Even thought it's your first try. It looks very complex too, based on the level of detail......great work!! I hope you won the challenge, too :D tee hee

Sara which one do you think it's the most complex? The eagle or the ancient dragon ?Both of them look super complex

Submitted by Sara on 10 April 2010 - 11:24am

Hm, I think the Ancient Dragon took me longer to complete. At this level of complexity I'd say time needed is the final, deciding factor. However, I like the eagle much better. :) I guess I'm not the dragon type... While I'm a bit reluctant to fold the ancient dragon a second time, I really want to fold the eagle again - not sure when I'll find the time, though.

I fear these models are too complex to be demonstrated in a video. Or, at least, I don't plan to make an instructional video on them. They take hours to fold, and explaining takes many times more than that.

Do u know which book or where i can buy instructions for satoshi kamiyas phoenix? its my favourite model & i really want to try & fold it.

Submitted by Sara on 31 August 2010 - 6:27pm

As far as I know no diagrams exist for the phoenix. If you're fine with folding from CP, Satoshi Kamiya posted some for version 3.0 and 3.5 here:
http://folders.jp/g/... (Phoenix 3.0)
http://folders.jp/g/... (Phoenix 3.5)

Also, see these forum posts with help on how to fold the phoenix from CP:

Good luck with this, because I can't follow them, and I still haven't bothered to solve the CP.
By the way, I hope to God this is legal!
Phoenix 3.5 diagrams also exist, but 1) I can't remember where, and 2) I don't need them because I solved the CP for that one anyway.

Sorry, I fear all diagrams you'll find for this online are illegal. :(

Can you seriously fold a model by looking at the crease pattern? e.g the pheonix by Satoshi Kamiya

Submitted by Castword (not verified) on 17 January 2011 - 1:12am

It's just I can't understand how some people do it based on the cp. I think it's quite incredible:)

I can't understand how people fold from a cp but tadashimori has a tutorial for it

Hi Sara,
I was just wondering if you have folded the Roc by Roman Diaz.
If so, will you put up a picture of it?
Thanks, Joe :)

Submitted by Sara on 16 May 2011 - 10:12pm

No, I haven't folded the roc, and to be honest with you not sure I will. I haven't been shy to say that Origami Essence is my favorite origami book thus far, but I do have to admit that the roc is the one model that didn't pick my interest that much.

Look very nice this eagle. I'm trying to fold it myself, but i'm having a little trouble with the diagrams 154, 155 trough 158. I don't really understand which way to fold this part.

Can you help me out on this (close-up pictures perhaps)

many thanks in advance!

Can you please make a video on how to fold the origami cardinal(level 4) by Roman Diaz? My vacations are going on and I would really like to fold it before my vacations end in June after which I would probably have no time to fold anymore. Thanks!!

Hello Sara,
I'm stuck in 75-76th step Eagle (2008) model, where does the side flaps go after step 75? please help me out from this step to 76th step. I'm confused. Please help me at the earliest.

Submitted by Sara on 17 November 2013 - 12:44am

With my time being so short I fear I don't have the time to help with specific steps of models. However, I do recommend posting such questions to an origami forum, e.g. http://snkhan.co.uk/... Plenty of members are happy to help you there, and much more quickly than I could ever achieve.
Hope you understand,

Sara , please , can you help me ? I can't make correctly the steps 83-85 . Where's the point " g " , wich the book doesn't explains ? I always thought the point " g " was at the center of thoose 3,5 squares , at the leg part . Am I right ? And , how about the paper , wich another kinds of paper do you think I can use whenever I don't have money to buy CMC Glue ? Afterall , it's a glue really expensive .
