SUMMARY- This is not traditional origami. That said, there's a lot of fun to be had in this kit. All the models come preprinted on 12 punch-out sheets of light cardstock, and you get an instruction booklet for assembly. The launcher is a piece of wood dowling with a rubber cord tied to it. These are pretty! He gives good safety advice, and detailed illustrations for assembling each model. You get a wonderful introduction to Leonardo's work and a bit of historical context. This was a great find and I'm so happy to add it to my collection.
