Large-scale physical models remain an important component in property sales galleries, providing potential buyers with a clear, tangible understanding of the layout, development scale, and overall design during the sales process. However, beyond their initial production time and cost, these models often create significant post-sell-out challenges for developers, particularly in storage, disposal, and logistics once the project is fully sold out. These post-sell-out challenges raise sustainability and asset-management concerns. This paper adopts a conceptual approach to examine the full lifecycle implications of physical scale models and to explore digital and hybrid alternatives as viable solutions in the Malaysian property marketing context. The study focuses on how different scale model approaches influence operational flexibility, long-term usability, and buyer experience. Drawing on technology adoption and consumer behaviour perspectives, the paper proposes a conceptual framework linking scale-model type to perceived usefulness, clarity of presentation, trust, and marketing outcomes. The paper further argues that hybrid approaches combining selective physical elements with interactive digital visualization may offer a practical way for developers to deliver experiential value while reducing post-sell-out burdens. This study contributes conceptually by integrating asset lifecycle considerations into discussions of virtual scale models in property marketing and practically by offering decision-support guidance for developers when selecting between physical, digital, and hybrid strategies. The paper also aligns with Sustainable Development Goal 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities) by emphasizing sustainable asset management practices and reducing material waste in real estate marketing environments.
