If both apps are running on the same machine which I assume, you should
be able to simply put the Models in one application and then go to
/app/config/bootstrap.php and create a:
$modelPaths = array('full path to models', 'second full path to models',
'etc...');*
*array where you add the full path to the model directory of your other
application.*
*Let me know if this will work or not,*
