xna model scaling - model is bigger than world

Question

I'm having trouble scaling my model in XNA with C#. The model is bigger than the world itself and I can't seem to scale it down. Below is the code I'm using and an attached screenshot. How can I scale my model down?

       private void DrawModel(Matrix currentViewMatrix)
    {

        Matrix[] bones = animationPlayer.GetSkinTransforms();

        // Compute camera matrices.
        Matrix view = Matrix.CreateTranslation(0, -40, 0) *
                      Matrix.CreateRotationY(MathHelper.ToRadians(cameraRotation_model)) *
                      Matrix.CreateRotationX(MathHelper.ToRadians(cameraArc)) *
                      Matrix.CreateLookAt(new Vector3(0, 0, -cameraDistance),
                                          new Vector3(0, 0, 0), Vector3.Up);

        float fieldOfView = MathHelper.ToRadians(4);

        Matrix projection = Matrix.CreatePerspectiveFieldOfView(fieldOfView, device.Viewport.AspectRatio, 1, 100000);

        // Render the skinned mesh.
        foreach (ModelMesh mesh in currentModel.Meshes)
        {
            foreach (SkinnedEffect effect in mesh.Effects)
            {
                effect.SetBoneTransforms(bones);

                effect.View = view;
                effect.Projection = projection;

                effect.EnableDefaultLighting();

                effect.SpecularColor = new Vector3(0.25f);
                effect.SpecularPower = 16;
            }

            mesh.Draw();
        }
    }

edit: when I change the following lines, I'm able to scale the model, however when I turn my model, it rotates in a circle; the model isn't properly scaled. If I do not scale the model, it turns properly around itself.

How can I fix this?

Matrix view = Matrix.CreateTranslation(0, -50, 0) *
                      Matrix.CreateScale(0.01f, 0.01f, 0.01f) *
                      Matrix.CreateRotationY(MathHelper.ToRadians(cameraRotation_model)) *
                      Matrix.CreateRotationX(MathHelper.ToRadians(cameraArc)) *
                      Matrix.CreateLookAt(new Vector3(0, 0, -cameraDistance),
                                          new Vector3(0, 0, 0), Vector3.Up);

Answer 1

You should first scale and rotate, and then translate:

        Vector3 objPos = new Vector3(0, -50, 0);
        Vector3 camPos = objPos - Vector3.One * cameraDistance;
        Matrix view = 
                  Matrix.CreateScale(0.01f, 0.01f, 0.01f) *
                  Matrix.CreateRotationY(MathHelper.ToRadians(cameraRotation_model)) *
                  Matrix.CreateRotationX(MathHelper.ToRadians(cameraArc)) *
                  Matrix.CreateTranslation(objPos) *
                  Matrix.CreateLookAt(camPos, obsPos, Vector3.Up);

EDITED: Because camera was placed where object was not.
