You will be making judgments about difficulty and quality in all phases of your analysis.

Construction:How difficult or complex Simple, Somewhat complex, moderately complex complicated.Detail: How much detail has the modeler added. How complex is it.Conformity How well did the modeler reproduce the prototype’s appearance.

Finish How complex and accurate is the finish Is quality of the work evident
