Is making physical models and maquettes of video game environments a thing? Do people make miniatures/scale models of locations of like Pipe House or Guardia Castle?

I've been looking around the internet and I haven't found such a thing

The last few days I have had the urge to try and build a scale model of Guldove from Chrono Cross. Somebody please stop me, I don't have time for this lol.
Also I have no idea what I'm getting myself into

I want to see someone working at this level of detail... but build one of the backyards from Untitled Goose Game or something

Why am I doing this

The beams (studs? poles?) are prooooobably too wide for the scale I think.

Second level is taking shape. And to think they had three of these in Guldove...
