caption_attribution_description: English: I [Polylerus] took this picture May 2006 in a museum in England. This model portrays Upnor Castle when the castle went into battle against the Dutch who made a raid against the English. The Model was made by John Wylie, and used 1300 LEDs and 36 stage lights and computer controlled sound track to create the effect of the battle. The model took a year to make.....and was commissioned by the Rochester Guildhall Museum in Kent (England). Text [description] edited by John Wylie 14th May 2007
context_page_description: A scale model is most generally a physical representation of an object that maintains accurate relationships between all important aspects of the model, although absolute values of the original properties need not be preserved. This enables it to demonstrate some behavior or property of the original object without examining the original object itself. The most familiar scale models represent the physical appearance of an object in miniature, but there are many other kinds.
  Scale models are used in many fields including engineering, architecture, film making, military command, salesmanship, and hobby model building. While each field may use a scale model for a different purpose, all scale models are based on the same principles and must meet the same general requirements to be functional. The detail requirements vary depending on the needs of the modeler.
  To be a true scale model, all relevant aspects must be accurately modeled, such as material properties, so the model's interaction with the outside world is reliably related to the original object's interaction with the real world.
context_section_description: Architecture firms usually employ model makers or contract model making firms to make models of projects to sell their designs to builders and investors. These models are traditionally hand-made, but advances in technology have turned the industry into a very high tech process than can involve Class IV laser cutters, five-axis CNC machines as well as rapid prototyping or 3D printing. Typical scales are 1:12, 1:24, 1:48, 1:50, 1:100, 1:200, 1:500, etc.
