Overall Impression

This is a nice collection of mythologically-themed models, all of which are complex and detailed. A couple of models have previously appeared in Monstruos de Papel, and are re-diagrammed for this book.

Most projects will require very thin paper or tissue-foil, as they tend to get thick. The diagram quality is excellent and I would highly recommend this book for complex-model lovers.
