In this chapter we covered the next step in the design process which is creating models. When deciding on an idea one must create a model, introducing the idea into the physical world. Creating models allows an artist to consider design constraints and problems along the way. However, when creating a model don't get completely wrapped up in your example that you forget to consider the actual project.

Often times models are scaled down so when creating your model it may seem that it works however when you create the actual design it doesn't work at the size it is now taking on. Artists must consider all aspects of design when creating their models and remember that just because it works on the model doesn't mean it will work on the real design. Always remember that yes the model is real, but its not the real thing!
