Overall Impression

This is a fantastic little book, dedicated only to 2 models - a "fleshy"
T-Rex, and a full skeleton of this dinosaur.

This book will get the purists to start folding multi-piece models!
While folded from 21 squares - they are all the same size, and designed to hold together by folding only (although I would suggests a drop of glue for support here and there).

The model is not easy, with the tail bones being the hardest, but still quite doable.

The instructions come complete with positioning and stand-building suggestions.
