Scale modeling

Scale modeling is the creation of a three-dimensional representation of an object, structure, or landscape at a reduced size, maintaining accurate proportions. Commonly used in architecture, engineering, and hobbies like model railroading, these models allow for detailed analysis and visualization of designs before construction. For example, a building model might be 1/100th the size of the actual structure. Scale models help in understanding spatial relationships and aesthetics while also serving practical purposes in planning and presentation. The details in these models can range from simple outlines to highly intricate designs, showcasing the subject's features effectively.
