No, you can't (at least not in an obvious way) just start with a base and pleat-sink.
In general, for crease patterns there are three steps:
Step 1: Make all the creases Step 2: Collapse. Step 3: Finish
Most of us, when we create something from crease pattern we fold it as if we're collapsing the crease pattern every time. Even if we've found an alternate way to diagram it. Unless we're teaching.
And sorry, I can't stand looking at that crease pattern. There are so many errors and it's a disaster to fold. Here are some hints though:
In that fin point, there is a long valley fold going through it, that stays a valley the whole way. Look at the creases around it. Note how they are exactly mirrored and of the opposite gender (mountains become valleys and vice versa). this means that you fold along the valley first, and then make folds through both layers together.
About it not wanting to hold together, that is because it is not flat-foldable at all. Not flat-foldable means 3D, and 3D doesn't hold unless it uses paper tension or locks.
The best thing really would be for someone else to design one. It's not that hard.
Short version: This CP sucks. And when you collapse a CP you don't do it step by step from a base or anything, you just do it.
