Models can be used in a variety of creative techniques from computer simulations to physical renderings of objects.

GREAT WALL OF CHINAThe initial aim of the wall was to offer protection to the Chinese Empire from the nomadic tribes that roamed the region and who came down from the Eurasian Steppe, and the full length of the wall is a staggering 21,196 km (or 13,171 miles) comprising of a number of systems that differ in methods of construction and age.
