model building
Crafting tiny replicas
Model building is the hobby or practice of constructing scale replicas—typically of vehicles, aircraft, ships, or architectural structures—from kits or raw materials.
The term also applies to creating abstract representations: economists engage in model building when developing theoretical frameworks, and scientists build models to test hypotheses.
