Look at Architectural and Ship Models
hiteArchitecturalModels W In joining an architectural contest, a white model is popular. This varies from a model used for presentation. For this competing model, the idea is more of an abstract form. Within one to two weeks, budget is limited for completion of the project. Seeing the appearance has minimal details. When the model is constructed properly, the three dimensions are visualised. Specifically, the composition and form are displayed with the right details. Materials such as foamcore and white mat board are more affordable. Also, these enable the participant to finish the model quicker! Supposing that the model is a residential project, the target consumer has a clear idea where the available unit is found. Very specific details of the model are not necessary. Colours on the exterior surface are visible and adjacent units are observed clearly. Making an architectural model entails adequate skills and proven experience.
ShipModels In the craft of ship models, it is important for precision to be evident. Techniques for CAD or CAM are beneficial. During construction of the model, there are many factors considered. These are the dimensions of the model, important ratios, buoyancy and gravity positions, presence of inertia, and kind of motor among others. Also, the appearance of lines and the hull, appendage, and placement of propulsion and propeller is included. The materials used for ship models are different from the actual one. Originally, wood was used popularly. It gave strength to the ship, possessed durability, and showed thickness. During flotation, expansion and swelling of wood occured. Thus, there were observed changes in the weight. As for paraffin wax, it showed distortions and the strength was lower. When plastic fabric was used, it became the suitable choice. It possessed stiffness and strength for the ship.
