Yeah, that's what I originally meant. My feeling is that 'sculpt' means more to cut or chip away, whereas modeling is more akin to shaping something. But, take your pick...
http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/sculpt "...to carve, model, or make by using the techniques of sculpture."
http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/model "...to fashion in clay, wax, or the like."
you know, that's all because you're an n-zealander. i'm translating about marsupials right now, and i'm sure that they are right in saying that island fauna in your part of the world represent a dead-end of the evolution, because this is weird to have a pouch, and you can't survive in the real world, where there is a competition, if you have to carry your offspring around in a pouch for 190 days. my guess is that what you're trying to teach me is also, in a way, a dead end of the english language evolution, which naturally took root in your part of the world. and do you know why i wrote this windy comment? BECAUSE I DON'T WANT TO TRANSLATE THAT TEXT ABOUT KOALA
well, isn't that weird, for example: The female has two vaginas, both of which open externally through one orifice but lead to different compartments within the uterus. Males usually have a two-pronged penis which corresponds to the females' two vaginas. The penis only passes sperm. Marsupials have a cloaca [1] [2] that is connected to a urogenital sac in both sexes. Waste is stored there before expulsion
But we don't have marsupials in New Zealand - they're Australian! What's more, Australians speak strine, and we don't, so you really don't know what you're talking about, do you?
I'd point you towards a Barry Humphries video if you had broadband, but since you don't I'll spare you, and just give you a Sir Lesley Patterson photo from an Australian Government cultural site as an indication of what you're dealing with...
is that eistein, australian version? i may confuse details, but i think the core idea is right: you guys are perverts. be it new zealand or australia, whatever...

You need to do more study if you're going to be writing about Australians!
