Regular past‑participle adjective formed from the verb 'model' meaning 'to shape or represent', so the adjectival meaning 'having been modeled/shaped' is straightforward.

Etymology

Modeled comes from model, a word that meant a 'pattern' or small thing an artist copied to make a sculpture. So when a face or surface is modeled, it is shaped or carved with clear, well‑defined form like something made from an artist's guide.
