A good "how to" for a beginner in Cubee/papermodels?

I'm been looking for school and various "rainy day" projects for my oldest (9 years) but didn't want to get back into kit modeling just yet (my hands are in bad shape these days). I found out about Cubees last night and thought they might be a good "introduction" for him into model building and something I can do too.

But there's not a lot of "bare bones" or "lay mans" stuff that I can find on Google. Or I'm just not looking in the right places. Anyone have suggestions for books or links that might be a good place to start? Or this is one of those "jump in a learn by doing" sort of things?
 
Here are a few sites I've found that might help you out.

http://www.seite42.de/e_index.htm (Instructions are in Swedish or German, but all models are fairly simple and come with pics.

http://paperinside.com/ (This site has links to other paper modeling sites at the bottom of the page.)

(Subsite for The Professor's Paper Empire, which has Cubbee like HAKO models, including some Star Trek models.)
 
Those are also called "Hako" style - a Japanese name for it. Do some searches on that for more stuff.
 
Thanks for the links. Don't know how I missed them. There's going to be more than enough to chose from.
