Gil,

As long as I have built paper models the petal formed parts have always given me fits, usually bad ones. Your approach to the problem is simply ingenious.

Grande idea, io questo sistema l'avevo adottato solo che per ogni misura dovevo trovare magari da un tappo detersivo o altro quello adatto, mentre il tuo sistema e univarsale.
Bravo.

Remember reading this when you first did it and still being new to paper at the time didn't really figure it out. Now looking at it again after awhile it makes much more sense. Thanks for originally doing this.

Sadly i think, over time, some of Gil's images have gone 404. I think I can work through the basic process, but I was wondering how to fix this problem. THis is a great thread and it would be a shame to loose the information.
