Rarity: In this update I have attempted to classify the relative rarity of the models according to the number of times I have recorded them. Also where many different colours were made for the same model, I have shown which colours are less common and consequently more desirable.
* = 0 to 1 record
* = 2 to 4 records
* = 5 to 10 records
* = above 10 records
* = more desirable
