miniature model
Small-scale representation piece
A miniature model is a small-scale replica of something larger—a building, vehicle, landscape, or figure.
The term is technically redundant since miniatures are already small representations, but the phrase emphasizes the crafted, detailed nature of the object: The museum displays miniature models of historic ships.
Common in hobbies like model railroading and tabletop gaming.
