A photography suggestion. If you cannot get the model brought down to you for convenient photography... get a tripod (a $15 cheapo model will do) and use the cameras "timer" function. Attach the camera to the tripod, extend the legs of the tripod, but keep the legs folded together. You now have a "camera on a stick." Set the camera to take a picture in 2 or 3 seconds. Push the button, raise the camera on a stick (having angled the camera to look slightly down), then raise the camera as high and ovehead as you can. Viola. You can now take ovehead photos of the model, including - hopefully - the stand it's attached to which - hopefully - gives full details regarding designation and perhaps scale. Bringing a ruler with you would also be helpful, just in case the scale of the model is given.I've used this technique many times. However, since aiming is almost pure guesswork, taking lots of photos is probably a must. But the beauty of digital cameras is that ill-framed or blurry photos don't cost anything.
