Throughout history, models have always constituted an important means of representation. Vikings used models to elaborate their methods of boat construction and therefore this was their first step. Ancient Romans, Greeks, Phoenicians, Egyptians, Incas, Mayas and practically every civilization have used scale models to represent their projects. In modern times, most architects use them as an efficient method of understanding and controlling the effects produced by the designed spaces. For construction promoters, models signify an important presentation in selling houses, apartments, tourist complexes, golf courses, hospitals, airports, ports and any other construction that needs to be understood visually. Due to the variety of possibilities there is a big demand for professional model makers. Curiously there is a shortage of such experts, probably due to the lack of information regarding modeling and of the opportunities it offers. There is a general belief that with the development of computers and tridimensional on-screen presentations, scale models are a thing of the past. There are also machines operated by skilled technicians which produce tridimensional objects. These machines are called fabbers. The objects produced will still need hand finishing. The human brain and hands used by a skilled modelmaker will still always produce a better-looking and more professional piece, as there is still a need to construct the basic landscape and base-table by hand.
