Now we are going to work on the body just a little bit as you can see here we already have the tail section started well, the wings, and the head here. So what we are going to do is take this flap right here and we are just going to fold it down. To do that we are going to come down here to the table. We want to take this edge here and put it along this edge here. This edge here and this edge here. So what we are going to do is take and just fold it over like so and crease it all the way as far as this corner wants to go here. Then we are going to undo it and what we are going to do is fold once this way like so creating this diamond shape. We want to make sure this is even right here we don't want to get sloppy with this. You want to make sure that it is even. Once we fold it there, we are going to fold it over again. This is going to thin the body out here to make it look good. So we are going to do the same thing on the other side. Fold it over like so. Bring it up and fold this edge into this and fold it on over like that.
