Es la reproducción física y a escala, en tres dimensiones, por lo general, en tamaño reducido, de algo real o ficticio. También pueden existir modelos en tamaño grande de algún objeto pequeño y hasta microscópico representados en alguna especie de maqueta.

Otras definiciones de maqueta, con variantes en el sistema de presentación, son: los dioramas, los vehículos teledirigidos o radiocontrolados, como automóviles, trenes y barcos, etc.

El maquetismo puede ser estático (modelo estático) o modelo dinámico o de movimiento (modelos telecontrolados).

La maqueta no solamente puede ser "a escala", sino que también representa la simulación de cualquier cosa en otro material (por ejemplo, la maqueta de un teléfono celular hecha en cartón), sin el acabado ni la apariencia real.

Commonly used scales

The scale is the final size of the model compared to the original, and it is said that a model is reduced or enlarged a number For example 1:100 (1 is to 100), 1:50 (1 is to 50) imply that one metric unit on the model is equivalent to 100 or 50 units, respectively, on the real object. The scale chosen depends on different aspects, including the functional aspect (what it is aimed at, what it will be used for).

Materials and tools of the model maker

The model maker, unlike the model maker, acquires an assembly kit from the store and before carrying out its execution he provides himself with photographs, history, plans and variants of colors and schemes.

Subsequently, and once the version to be built has been defined, the assembly begins, using glues, paints "Paint (material)"), airbrushes, filler putties, pigments, tweezers, pliers, plasticard, wires, brass to give the greatest sensation of realism to the model.

The materials of the kit can vary from plastic, resin to wood or metal or a combination of these elements.

The essence of model making is to provide a visual sensation of realism at the scale of the model or built model.

The model maker will also try to reproduce the weathering, simulating the passage of time as it would happen to a real-size model, using pigment filters very diluted in rapidly evaporating solvents.

In general, these steps are followed to achieve a static scale model:

"Hand-made" parts can be added to static models to increase, improve or correct their details; This technique of adding manually manufactured parts is known as "scratch".

If you want to reproduce the model in its natural environment, then it is called Diorama.

The model may be very important to explain the work of cities, machines and many things.

Profile of a model maker

The model maker, as well as the model maker, must possess the following characteristics:
