There's a japanese about the book on : http://nichibou.shop-pro.jp/?pid=4485947

And the ugly automated translation makes no sense ! http://babelfish.altavista.com/babelfis ... %3D4485947

Well, I think that one of the pictures that it shows contains all the models:
http://img06.shop-pro.jp/PA01021/598/pr ... 947_o1.jpg

Theres a mouse, a squirrel, a box, a shell, Santa, a giraffe, an elephant, a crane variation, a plane, a samurai helmet, a pig, a whale, a man, a macaque, and a tree.

Cupcake : Good point, but the 3 models on the cover are not on this picture. There are probably more pages that list the models. :(

The picture shows only the model in the "Introductory course" and "Elementary course" (as translated from the Japanese text at the top of the page).

Anyone know if there are "Advanced course"?
