modelers

Modelers are individuals who create representations of objects, systems, or processes through physical models or abstract simulations. They work across hobbyist, artistic, scientific, and industrial settings, translating real-world features into tangible or computable forms.

In hobby and design, scale modelers build miniature versions of vehicles, buildings, landscapes, and figures, often

Common tools include ruler, knives, scalpels, files; carving materials, resin, wood, plastic; 3D printers; CAD software;

Historically, model making has deep roots in ship and aircraft design, education, and hobby clubs. Modelers
