Overall Impression

Jozsef Zsebe's models lend themselves to a lot of interpretation by the folder. The concise diagrams give you a starting point, from which you can begin shaping and try to give life to the model. I like the selection of models presented in this small booklet, and think they are well worth the effort. My favorite is the badger, which captures the essence of the animal in just a few steps.
The booklet also contains photographs of many of the authors other models, which are not diagrammed here (including the models on the front and back covers).
