Abstract
There is something uniquely fascinating about things which are smaller than life. From the model cars and trains of our childhood days, to the intricate scale models which draw visitors in their thousands to such places as London's Science Museum, somewhere along the line these miniature replicas of full‐sized originals have provided all of us with a memorable experience in our lives. While it might take a psychologist to identify the exact reasons why the everyday things in life, seen as it were through the wrong end of a telescope, should hold this fascination over the human brain, it is immediately obvious that the fascination exists, and that models can play an important role in teaching us about the full‐sized items they represent.
