The power of physical relief models lies in their ability to convey subtle changes in slope and elevation more easily than monitor-based visualisation techniques. They allow close scrutiny but also offer the viewer overviews of whole landscapes. This spatial ‘frame of reference’ helps to place features into their landscape context.
A great starting point to learn about the history of relief modelling and some of the techniques used is Stefan Raber's terrain modelling site.
