They help visualise or explore things that cannot be directly observed or experimented on.
They are used for the evaluation of visual, tactile, and other aesthetic qualities.

Model-Making Techniques
•Cutting:
There are three methods of cutting: scissors, knife, and chisel. •Scissors are used for most curves •A knife guided by a straight edge is used for straight cuts. •Chisel cuts are useful for areas too small to get into with scissors.
•Scoring and folding:
The purpose of the score is only to force the card to fold where you want it to, without wrinkling.
•Gluing:
Spread the glue in very thin, even coats, and it will dry quickly
