The moon model would be about 1/4th the size of the modeled earth.

In previous models, the moon either formed concurrently with Earth in its accretion disk, or was captured when its orbit crossed that of Earth's and was captured in Earth's gravitational field.

That would be the moon. We've never thought of it that way ... the only object whose status didn't change between the geocentric and heliocentric model. Thanks for showing it to us.
Sun Earth Moon.
a giant impact hypothesis, where a Mars-sized object collided with Earth, ejecting debris into orbit that eventually coalesced to form the moon. This model explains the similarities in composition between the Earth and the moon, as well as the moon's lack of volatile elements.

The average diameter of the Earth is about 3.66 times that of the Moon. So if a model of the Moon were 1 meter in width, Earth on the same scale would be 3.66 meters wide.
