Elements and Performance Criteria

1. Prepare to make scale models
   • Clarify scale model requirements based on relevant documentation, verbal briefs and consultation with relevant people
   • Identify potential challenges and plan work to minimise risk in consultation with relevant personnel
   • Select techniques for model making consistent with project requirements
   • Confirm presentation requirements, including timelines, for final scale models
   • Confirm equipment, materials and work space requirements
   • Set up work space and equipment according to safety considerations and organisational procedures
2. Complete model construction
   • Use safe work practices to make preliminary models representing core dimensions in line with specifications
   • Review preliminary models against objectives and specifications in consultation with others
   • Confirm that intellectual property and other relevant legislative requirements are met
   • Make required adjustments to models
   • Complete models to project objectives
   • Present models to relevant colleagues in line with project and organisational requirements
   • Follow organisational storage and inventory procedures
   • Seek and use feedback from others to improve own skills

Performance Evidence

Evidence of the ability to:

identify appropriate equipment and materials to make three-dimensional (3-D) models

establish a safe work space for the use of equipment and materials

use selected techniques and processes to make models that satisfy project requirements

communicate with others during preparation, construction and presentation of 3-D models.

Note: If a specific volume or frequency is not stated, then evidence must be provided at least once.

Knowledge Evidence

To complete the unit requirements safely and effectively, the individual must:

describe ways in which model making is used in specific industry contexts

explain common model making processes and techniques, including the physical properties and capabilities of equipment, tools and materials used

outline ways to present finished scale models

list work space requirements for the production of models, including set-up of work space for particular types of work

summarise issues and challenges that arise in making scale models

summarise intellectual property issues and legislation associated with making scale models

explain work health and safety procedures that apply to scale model making.
