A practical guide to the construction of a "cire perdue" model of the human nose.
A step by step method of constructing a model of the human nose is described. The hollow model faithfully reproduces the main features of the internal structure of the nasal air passages and nasopharynx. A model constructed by this technique was found to be suitable for nasopharyngeal airflow studies.
