Thanks for comments on this find. It reminds me of the over the top French anatomic prints and 19th c. wax anatomic models that you can still see in the back corners of some museums. (There are some anatomy prints on Patricia Eureka's site that have layers and fold outs) I wonder of the artist, Horst Kieschle, got some inspiration from a "visible man" model.
The schools in Fiji must have a very limited budget if they have to resort to donated paper models, instead of being able to purchase some of the very detailed, teaching models that are now being substituted for classes in dissection, or using teaching models based on 3d body scans.
I looked at his downloads, they look like they would be a tough build to do make something as neatly done as his final sculpture.
