Success!!!

My triumphant (though terrifyingly tricky) Tarantula:
After almost a week of working on this, the tarantula by Robert J. Lang is finished!
It is by far the most difficult piece I have made up until now. Again, if you want to try it, the link is on the right.

Tarantula Trouble

I am in the middle of folding THIS monstrosity here, to great difficulty. If anyone can complete it (besides the person on the tutorial of course), I would be most impressed. The link to the tutorial is on the right under origami links.

This model was designed by Robert J. Lang.

Note: Tissue foil is recommended, as the complexity of the folds makes the paper become quite thick in places using normal origami paper.
