'''Model building''' is a [[hobby]] and career<ref name=":1">{{Cite web |title=Model Builder: What Is It? and How to Become One? |url=https://www.ziprecruiter.com/Career/Model-Builder/What-Is-How-to-Become |access-date=2022-03-07 |website=ZipRecruiter |language=en}}</ref><ref name=":2">{{Cite web |title=How to become a model maker - CareerExplorer |url=https://www.careerexplorer.com/careers/model-maker/how-to-become/ |access-date=2022-03-07 |website=www.careerexplorer.com}}</ref> that involves the creation of [[physical model]]s either from kits or from materials and components acquired by the builder. The kits contain several pieces that need to be assembled in order to make a final model. Most model-building categories have a range of common [[scale model|scales]] that make them manageable for the average person both to complete and display.<ref name=":0">{{Cite web |url=https://hobbyandtoycentral.com/?q=blog/beginner%E2%80%99s-guide-model-building-part-1-4-part-series |title=A Beginner's Guide to Model Building - Part 1 of a 4 part series {{!}} Hobby and Toy Central |website=hobbyandtoycentral.com |language=en |access-date=2018-07-20}}</ref> A model is generally considered physical representations of an [[physical object|object]] and maintains accurate relationships between all of its aspects.<ref>{{Cite book |title=Building Model Boats - Including Sailing and Steam Vessels |last=Hasluck |first=Paul |publisher=Read Books Ltd. |year=2013 |isbn=9781473347410 }}</ref>

The model building kits can be classified according to skill levels that represent the degree of difficulty for the hobbyist. These include skill level 1 with snap-together pieces that do not require glue or paint; skill level 2, which requires glue and paint; and, skill level 3 kits that include smaller and more detailed parts.<ref name=":0" /> Advanced skill levels 4 and 5 kits ship with components that have extra-fine details. Particularly, level 5 requires expert-level skills.

== Model building as career ==
Model building is not exclusively a hobbyist pursuit. The complexity of assembling representations of actual objects has become a career for several people, and is heavily applicable in film making.{{cn|date=April 2022}} There are, for instance, those who build models/props to commemorate historic events, employed to construct models using past events as a basis to predict future events of high commercial interest.<ref>{{Cite journal |last1=Stevenson |first1=Lynne Warner |last2=Davis |first2=Roger B. |date=2016-08-01 |title=Model Building as an Educational Hobby |url=http://circheartfailure.ahajournals.org/content/9/8/e003457 |journal=Circulation: Heart Failure |language=en |volume=9 |issue=8 |pages=e003457 |doi=10.1161/CIRCHEARTFAILURE.116.003457 |issn=1941-3289 |pmid=27514752|doi-access=free |url-access=subscription }}</ref><ref name=":1" /><ref name=":2" />
