the camera - Object has two attributes "front" and "back": (just quoting
documenatation here)
| - front, back : objects whose distance from the camera is not between
front and back
| are clipped. Front defaults to 0.1 and back to 100.0.
| If the back / front ratio is too big, you loose precision in the depth
buffer.
so try a
camera.back = 300.0
or what ever is apropriate for your models.

Did you put the texture-images into data/images?
