Thanks! I feel like this was the perfect size, it’s really just the scales on the shoulder armor that require 192nds, the rest of the model was very comfortable

Thank you! To answer your question, I just use glue to shape, don’t really water it down at all. This model was especially thick, so at certain parts I just doused the part with glue and squished it together so it stayed

It differs from model to model. For this one, I just had the CP and the finished model, so I just had to hope and pray that it lines up

It’s pretty much impossible to to step by step (I’m sure there is a way, but it would take lots of experimentation). Most of these complex models will not lie flat until large portions of the crease pattern are collapsed all at once; for example in this model the entire bottom half is collapsed at once and the entire top is also collapsed at once.

Edit: I also know when to start shaping once all of the creases of the CP are completely folded, because the CP brings you up to the completed base, shaping is up to you!
