And Another Repeated Subject

This model came as a doodle, which I haven't done in a long time. I started off trying to folding something for the french forum's challenge, "Folds in Mouvement", or action models, but I didn't really have any idea where I was going with it. So I ended up randomly folding the model until I came up with this CP, somewhat based on a bird base.


At first, I had no idea what to do with it. I inside reverse folded the fin sections, and then I knew what the model could be. All I had to do then was fix the tail and curve it, as well as make the fins smaller. I based the form loosely on Fumiaki Kawahata's Shachihoko (which turns out to be a carp with a tiger's head).
