Modelling.
Modelling
in
Cork,
Gutta
Percha,
Leather,
Paper,
Plaster
of
Paris,
Wax,
Wood,
&c.--Modelling,
in
a
general
sense,
signifies
the
art
of
constructing
an
original
pattern,
which
is
to
be
ultimately
carried
out
on
an
enlarged
scale,
or
copied
exactly.
2347.
Scale
of
Construction.
When
models
are
constructed
to
give
a
miniature
representation
of
any
great
work,
elevation,
or
topographical
information,
they
are
executed
in
detail,
with
all
the
original
parts
in
just
and
due
proportions,
so
that
the
work
may
be
conducted
or
comprehended
better;
and
if
the
model
is
a
scientific
one,
viz.,
relating
to
machinery,
physical
science,
&c.,
then
it
requires
to
be
even
still
more
accurate
in
its
details.
In
fact,
all
models
should
be
constructed
on
a
scale,
which
should
be
appended
to
them,
so
that
a
better
idea
may
be
obtained
of
the
proportions
and
dimensions.
