Satoshi Kamiya also taught a workshop at the CDO Convention 2009 for his fish. It was somewhat - let's say unconventional: he said he'd teach "John Montroll style": he handed out diagrams and paper, and then was there for questions. He'd scheduled 3 hours, but most of us were done with the model after about 2 hours, and I am surprised by how nice my first fold looks. It's surely connected to the awesome paper Satoshi gave us. He said it was gampi paper. It was quite thin, but strong, and took creases extremely well. In the end the paper did turn a bit soft, and I strengthened the three points that the model stands on with methyl cellulose. Before the paper bent, but not the model stands on its own.
And the good thing is, I now even have diagrams for it, so I can reproduce the model. Needless to say, I grasped the opportunity and had Satoshi Kamiya sign that diagram. :)
Paper: 30cm square of gampi
Model: 22.5cm high, 11cm wide

The CP is available on
The CP is available on Kamiya's site, www.folders.jp. It is all in japanese, so you may want to plug that URL into google, and let google translate it first!

Does this model have any
Does this model have any difficult techniques because u say it's a complex model
Submitted by Sara on 11 March 2010 - 7:10am Permalink
Difficult steps
Yes, there are a couple of complex steps in that model. The model isn't as complex as - say the Ancient Dragon, but that model I'd actually rank as "super-complex". ;)

If Possible!
Is it possible if you can do a video on this fantastic model? Well, I folded the scorpion and I really want another video in the complex range... If it is possible, can you please do a video on it... I tried looking everywhere for the diagrams, but sadly couldnt... I would love it if you do! Thanks!
Submitted by Sara on 8 April 2010 - 7:01am Permalink
No video
I fear I won't be making instructional videos on any of Satoshi Kamiya's models. Kamiya-san prefers it this way, and I respect that wish.

Hi,
I would like if there would be an update with a video.
Possible?
Thanks
Submitted by Sara on 31 March 2011 - 12:36pm Permalink
No instructions for work by Satoshi Kamiya
Satoshi Kamiya does not want me to post instructions for his models, and I respect that wish. I fear that means there won't be a video for this model, either.
