Everything about Scale model
Physical representation of an object
A scale model is a physical model that is geometrically similar to an object. Scale models are generally smaller than large prototypes such as vehicles, buildings, or people; but may be larger than small prototypes such as anatomical structures or subatomic particles. Models built to the same scale as the prototype are called mockups. Wikipedia →

📖 Definitions
Noun A three-dimensional copy or representation of something in which all parts have dimensions in the same proportion to that of the original (i.e., all aspect ratios are preserved).
