How to take a subset of a views Model and send the subset model

How do I take a subset of a views Model and send the subset model to a partial view?

I created a model, but the partial is looking for the parent model.

Am I creating this secondary subset model correctly? How do I get the partial to see this secondary subset model?

Parent View code (not all):

I created a class:

I then used that class (a new model) in the parent view and populated it with values from the parent model and passed the model to the partial view :

@* Create a child 'model' variable (from the parent model's data) that will be passed to the partial view. *@
@{
// Create the variable form the LikeOrDislikeVM model.
var likeOrDislikeVM = new GbngWebClient.Models.LikeOrDislikeVM();
// Set the properties on the variable.
likeOrDislikeVM.BlogId = @Model.BlogPublishedByBlogId.BlogId;
likeOrDislikeVM.UserId = Convert.ToInt32(Session["UserId"]);
likeOrDislikeVM.LikeCount = @Model.BlogPublishedByBlogId.LikeCount;
likeOrDislikeVM.DisLikeCount = @Model.BlogPublishedByBlogId.DisLikeCount;
likeOrDislikeVM.LikeDisabled = @Model.BlogPublishedByBlogId.LikeDisabled;
likeOrDislikeVM.DisLikeDisabled = @Model.BlogPublishedByBlogId.DisLikeDisabled;
}
