No, I do not have any real models (just some test models) - I started 
with OpenSCAD just few days ago, so I had not enough time...

I have set of generators for VRML models, I will later modify them and I 
will use them to generate bunch of standard models.

Good idea. I will try to change it.

Yes, there is still lot of work to do, including documentation. I will 
have chance to continue after weekend.
