Origami Loch Ness Monster

The Loch Ness Monster is a model that I'm very proud of. This is because it is a model that I designed myself. I was making an origami horse when I realized that with some (okay, a lot) of altercations it could become a Loch Ness Monster. It is a pretty complex model, so I wouldn't recommend it for beginners.



Step 1: Fold a fish base and have the two triangles pointing to the right


Step 2: Mountain fold the bottom up and around to the top


Step 3: Take the far left tip and inside-reverse fold it up. The point sticking in the air should be parallel with the center crease line (and about a centimeter or two away from it).


Step 4: Open the flap up and valley fold the top right and left edges to the center



Step 5: Close the flap to finish the neck


Step 6: Inside reverse fold the top point down to become the head


Step 7: Fold the tip back a little bit so the head isn't so pointy

 Now it's time to shape the fins...

Step 8: Valley fold the triangle flap over


Step 9: Valley fold it down at the angle shown in the picture


Step 10: Turn the model over and do the same with the other flap


Now to make the body/tail...
Step 11: Open up the model from the back...


...and valley fold it partway forward...


...then valley fold it back over. This is a crimp fold.


Step 12: Squash fold both sides of the tail in (sorry I didn't go into detail here... if you need help, a similar squash fold is used in step 10 of the stingray and I do have more details there)



Nearly done! To finish Nessie, just mountain fold the top portions (on both sides down) to thin her up.


Your Loch Ness Monster is completed!
