Even shipping containers have scale models
Scale models are used in many fields including engineering, architecture, film making, military command, salesmanship, and hobby model building. While each field may use a scale model for a different purpose, all scale models are based on the same principles and must meet the same general requirements to be functional. The detail requirements vary depending on the needs of the modeler.
To be a true scale model, all relevant aspects must be accurately modeled, such as material properties, so the model’s interaction with the outside world is reliably related to the original object’s interaction with the real world.
Even shipping containers have scale models, container ships, trailers, trucks and many more. They can be fun for the kids and be a perfect gift or exhibit in a private collection of a true scale model collector.
