One technique for presentation is to take the audience through a guided tour that highlights the details of the model. Students should document their model's progress with photographs. Including a scale in the photograph provides a visual clue as to the true size of the model. Students may want to experiment with table-top photography. Photos taken of the model from a position that replicates eye level gives the impression of how a full-scale project might appear to someone.
Lighting is important to insure all details on the model are visible.
Photographs of students' work should be in their portfolios.
