Overall Impression
In this book, Montroll introduces 2 new bases, an animal base and an insect base, and uses them to create some dogs, animals and insects. As with many of Montroll's models, the finished diagrams are only a starting-point - so shaping, wet-folding and the right kind of paper are essential for a more life-like look.
