36th Annual Premier Scale Model Exhibition of the Society for Scale Modellers

-

The members of the Society for Scale Modellers will be holding their 36th Annual Scale Model Exhibition between Thursday 9th February and Sunday 12th February at the Malta Maritime Museum on the Vittoriosa Waterfront.

The models on exhibit will consist of civil and military aircraft, cars, trucks and motorbikes, armoured vehicles and various classes of ships all from different eras and scenarios as well as a section dedicated to figurines.

Many of these models have won awards and placed well in internatio­nal events as recent as 2016. These models are veritable works of art and are obviously finished to the highest possible standards, testimony of the capability of Maltese modellers.

The show is on Facebook at http://www.facebook.com/ipmsmalta.

As Malta’s representa­tives of the Internatio­nal Plastic Modellers Society, the society has been promoting scale modelling in Malta these past thirty five years and has locally and internatio­nally become synonymous with the high standards in model making of its members. In its continued effort to ensure that this expression of art remains popular, the society strives to introduce youngsters to the hobby by means of its exhibition­s, workshops and courses in scale modelling. Those wishing to obtain more informatio­n can visit the Society’s website at www.ipmsmalta.com.

Visitors to this year’s exhibition will be able to follow the process of model constructi­on as members of the society will be working real-time on models at work-stations set up purposely for the spectator’s benefit. Visitors will also be able to vote for their favourite models taking part in the Visitors Choice Awards. IPMS Malta enjoys a very high ranking in internatio­nal modelling quality and consequent­ly, both finished and work in progress models are guaranteed to be of the highest levels.

The Exhibition will be open Thursday 9th to Sunday 12th February from 9am to 5pm.

Entrance is free.
