It's not a model if it's full-size. It's a ice-breaker! (as above)

Existence is larger than any model that is not itself the exact size of existence (which has no size...)
Robert Anton Wilson
Yet actual physical size has an emotional meaning. We relate everything to our own size, and our emotional response to size is controlled by the fact that men on the average are between five and six feet high.. ..If practical considerations allowed me, cost of material, of transport, etc., I should like to work on large carvings more often than I do. The average in-between size does not disconnect an idea enough from prosaic everyday life. The very small or the very big (sculpture, fh) takes on an added size emotion.
Henry Moore
There was no way, without full understanding, that one could have confidence that conditions the next time might not produce erosion three times more severe than the time before. Nevertheless, officials fooled themselves into thinking they had such understanding and confidence, in spite of the peculiar variations from case to case. A mathematical model was made to calculate erosion. This was a model based not on physical understanding but on empirical curve fitting.
Richard Feynman
I don't think time matters much if you're a Breaker.
Stephen King
A single breaker may recede; but the tide is evidently coming in.
Thomas Babington Macaulay
