Note from asker:
| Modelismo não é a mesma coisa que tirar curso de modelo. São coisas completamente diferentes e perante o contexto que nos deu, aconselho-a a pesquisar melhor. Parece-me ficar claro pelo seu texto que a pessoa em questão não andou a trabalhar como modelo, mas sim a trabalhar numa empresa de fabrico de malhas exteriores, desenhando modelos, etc. Abraço e bom trabalho! |
