This article is the continuation of a project of investigating planar phi^3 model in various dimensions. The idea is to reformulate them on the world sheet, and then to apply the classical (meanfield) approximation, with two goals: To show that the ground state of the model is a solitonic configuration on the world sheet, and the quantum fluctuations around the soliton lead to the formation of a transverse string. After a review of some of the earlier work, we introduce and discuss several generalizations and new results. In 1+2 dimensions, a rigorous upper bound on the solitonic energy is established. A phi^4 interaction is added to stabilize the original phi^3 model. In 1+3 and 1+5 dimensions, an improved treatment of the ultraviolet divergences is given. And significantly, we show that our approximation scheme can be imbedded into a systematic strong coupling expansion. Finally, the spectrum of quantum fluctuations around the soliton confirms earlier results: In 1+2 and 1+3 dimensions, a transverse string is formed on the world sheet.
