Since this group would be primarily about building models, I think a more
appropriate name would be rec.models.building (mainly because the only other
term I could think of offhand was "construction", which is a little long).
This would clarify the groups' purpose, as well as avoiding extraneous
material in the middle of discussions about which brand of covering is
best, or whatever.

A directory does not a group make; a new directory for this purpose 
won't impact the world significantly. $SPOOLDIR/rec/models will be
there in any case; let's leave it open for people to discover that
this is about modeling as a hobby rather than a profession of displaying
clothing....    :-)
