Preparatory sculptures; replicas (6)

I believe the answer is:

models

(Other definitions for models that I've seen before include "Poses for artists" , "Mannequins or examplars" , "Exemplars or mannequins" , "Human clothes horses or protoypes" , "Those who sit" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
