scale models
Shrunken precise copies
Scale models are miniature or enlarged replicas built in precise proportion to the original.
A 1:48 scale model airplane is forty-eight times smaller than the real thing.
Hobbyists build scale models of ships, trains, cars, and aircraft; architects use them to visualize buildings before construction.
The term emphasizes faithful reproduction of proportions rather than approximate resemblance.
