n.初步设计的模型(或草图)

To date, only the original Batman Maquette artist-proof were released through WB Stores. 只有这款蝙蝠侠的艺术家自存版是正式在华纳专卖店发售的。

I created a life size maquette and worked closely with foundry artisans to produce the completed bronze. 我做了一个真人大小的模型并且与铸造工人一起完成铸造工作。

For special occasions a maquette could be made to visualise the historic, current or future landscape with a third dimension. 在某些情况下，甚至可以通过沙盘模型来真实可视化历史、现在或将来的场景。

A disadvantage is the time-consuming preparation of the digital model, creating a 3D virtual environment is like building a digital maquette. 唯一的缺陷是制作电子模型比较费时，而制作3维虚拟环境则比较像制作一个电子沙盘。

Building a maquette is a time-consuming and thus expensive way of visualisation.Another disadvantage is that a maquette cannot easily be shared: people have to come to the maquette to see it. 但是沙盘可视化方式不仅费时，造价高昂而且不利于共享，人们只有亲自走到沙盘的前才能看到。
