How to Make a Maquette. A maquette is a small scale model use to help visualize and test ideas for larger sculptures or architectural designs. There are many ways that you can make a maquette, using clay, wax or other molding materials, Super Sculpty is particularly designed for this purpose as it is durable and easy to mold.
