Issues to consider when building your model
Scale determines the appropriate level of detail for a given model. The bigger the scale, the more detail possible; the smaller the scale, the less detail possible. For example, at the scale indicted for the models in this division, representing specific details like individual roof shingles or doorknobs would be overwhelming and out of scale.

Carefully consider materials selection. Architects select materials for presentation models to help give their client an idea of what the final materials can be, but these model materials are not exact matches to the final materials. For your presentation model, you will want the materials you select to give the impression of the finished building materials, without trying to replicate actual building materials exactly.
