Rebecca,
We use the Getty's Art and Architecture Thesaurus when Chenhall's doesn't
have an object name listed. And then we add it to both the book - marking
the date of addition with the initial of the person who added it - as well
as adding it in the appropriate hierarchical location on Past Perfect.
According to their lexicon - they would use, "Miniature (toys)" for
miniatures and collectables that are not precise scale models.
The Hierarchy can be seen here:

Hi Rebecca,
We use Chenhall's Nomenclature and were not able to find a good term to
describe ship models. So we added the term "Model, Ship" to the subcategory
"Documentary Artifact." In reality, some of our ship models were created as
documentary artifacts, some as works of art, so it might be equally
appropriate to categorize them as art. Either way, we use the term to
describe both scratch-built scale models and models made from kits.
When we've had to add our own new terms to Nomenclature I always make sure
to add them both in the database authority list AND in the hard copy book.
Hope this helps.

Mario and All:
Thanks for your speedy reply. I did check those sites, but did not find
what I was looking for. I think I need to explain this further. I am
looking for the nomenclature for minature, but to scale models of ships like
the "Mayflower" or the "Titanic". This items could fit on a shelf in your
home, or on your desk. The ones I am cataloging are made without the
benefit of a kit, therefore art probably listed as Communication Artifacts
with a sub category of art. The revised nomenclature reference that I am
using is quite old. The book lists ship in a bottle, but not one of equal
scale outside a bottle.
Sincerely,
Rebecca Fitzgerald
