Error:

Script 'Workspace.Model.Script', Line 11

Stack End

--~-----------Vairbles---------------~--
local Model = script.Parent
---------------------------------------------   
    for Number,Part in pairs (Model:GetChildren()) do
--------------More Vairbles----------------
local PreviousPart = math.floor(Number - 1)
local PreviousPartName = "Part"..PreviousPart
local Motor = Instance.new("Motor6D",Part)
-------------------------------------------
    print(PreviousPartName)
    Motor.Part0 = Part
    Motor.Part1 = Model.PreviousPartName
    print(Motor.Part0)

"Bad cast" happens when you give a ROBLOX function or object something which it's not looking for.

In this case, you are giving your script (called "Script" in explorer) to Part0, on line 11.

This is because in your loop you don't check that Part is actually a part!

You need to add a :IsA check to each Part to make sure:

local Model = script.Parent

for Number,Part in pairs (Model:GetChildren()) do
	if Part:IsA("BasePart") then
		local PreviousPart = math.floor(Number - 1)
		local PreviousPartName = "Part"..PreviousPart
		local Motor = Instance.new("Motor6D",Part)

		print(PreviousPartName)
		Motor.Part0 = Part
		Motor.Part1 = Model.PreviousPartName
		print(Motor.Part0)
		Motor.DesiredAngle = -Number
	end
end

What's the diffrence between a BasePart and a Part?

"BasePart" is a 'super class' which means you can't actually make one. BUT, all part-like things are BaseParts (WedgePart,TrussPart, SpawnLocation, CornerWedgePart, etc) so it would catch anything you can touch
