Building model

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Building models are scale models of structures. They are commonly used in model railroading as well as wargaming and diorama making. Architectural models are also made to demonstrate and promote buildings before they are constructed.

Many building models don't come from kits, but are hand-made. The walls are made of materials such as foam-core and the façade of buildings are made from multiple layers of cardstock. Small scraps of random things found around the house come in handy when creating many models. Color labels from magazine advertisements come in handy for building a store. If there isn't an object that you need, create a mold from clay and then pour plaster into it. Herbs work great for trees and bushes. You can use almost anything in models.
