Building models for university design projects can be tough, especially because the size of the models can change a lot. Each size brings its own set of challenges that affect the tools and materials we use. Let’s break this down into simpler parts.

1. Choosing Materials:

   • For small models, we need materials that show tiny details. This can be paper, thin plastic, or cardstock. But these can be fragile and break easily.
   • On the other hand, bigger models need stronger materials like plywood or foam board. These can be hard to handle and move around.

2. Using Tools:

   • When working on small models, we often use exacto knives and cutting mats. These tools are great but can be annoying if you need to cut through several layers or tricky shapes.
   • For larger models, we use bigger tools like saws and power tools. But these can be dangerous, and you need more space and skill to use them safely.

3. Challenges:

   • Getting different sizes of models to look consistent can be hard. This can waste materials and time.
   • Also, moving large models can be tricky. They might get damaged while being transported.

To handle these problems, we can try flexible model-making techniques and invest in tools that can work for different sizes. This can make things less frustrating and lead to better results. Working together with classmates and getting advice from experienced people can also help us tackle these challenges more easily.
