Papercraft Failure #1 - Sonic the Hedgehog

My first very real defeat in the papercrafting world.  Sonic the Hedgehog came with instructions in Japanese, and with a whole bunch of fiddly cuts and folds.  This papercraft model was far beyond by meagre skills and, after many hours of just not getting it right, I screwed it up into crumpled wads A picture has been taken of a few of those wads.
Please feel free to try this one yourself - I'm sure you'll do better.  Apparently it's possible, because I've seen some completed.
