Overall Impression

The diagrams are 2-toned, and there is a photo of every model.
This is a collection from various artists, so the quality of the models varies.
I find Alvarez's models to be the best in the book, while some other designs are more crude and very simplistic in form.
The diagrams are sometimes a little hard to figure out (like in the case of the chameleon).
