model maker

Builds tiny replicas

A model maker is someone who constructs scale replicas or prototypes—of buildings, vehicles, ships, anatomical structures, or proposed products.

The term spans hobbyists who build miniature trains or airplanes and professionals who create architectural models or film props: The model makers built a detailed miniature of the city for the disaster scene.
