A scale model is most generally a physical representation of an object, which maintains accurate relationships between all important aspects of the model, although absolute values of the original properties need not be preserved.

This enables it to demonstrate some behavior or property of the original object without examining the original object itself.

The most familiar scale models represent the physical appearance of an object in miniature, but there are many other kinds.

Tarmac (short for tarmacadam) is a type of road surfacing material patented by English inventor Edgar Purnell Hooley in 1902.

The term is also used, with varying degrees of correctness, for a variety of other materials, including tar-grouted macadam, bituminous surface treatments, and modern asphalt concrete.

The term is also often used to describe airport aprons (also referred to as "ramps"), taxiways, and runways regardless of the surface.

A model vehicle or toy vehicle is a miniature representation of an automobile.

Other miniature motor vehicles, such as trucks, buses, or even ATVs, etc.

are often included in this general category.

Because many miniature vehicles were originally aimed at children as playthings, there is no precise difference between a model car and a toy car, yet the word 'model' implies either assembly required or the accurate rendering of an actual vehicle at smaller scale.

The kit building hobby became popular through the 1950s, while the collecting of miniatures by adults started to pick up momentum around 1970.

Precision-detailed miniatures made specifically for adults are a significant part of the market since the mid-1980s (Gibson 1970, p.

9; Harvey 1974; Johnson 1998, p.

5).
