A collection of scale model display kits and diorama presented by Selangor and Federal Territory Plastic Modelling Society (SFTPMS) in support of Malaysia’s 50th year of independence.
The display models and dioramas of this initiative is a joint effort by the members of SFTPMS to collate a collection of 3-D scaled representative of events, equipment, and personalities which helped shape the nation into what it is today. This temporary collection, which is on loan from participating members, number approximately 100 display subjects of various sizes consisting of aircraft, helicopters, armoured fighting vehicles, dioramas, ships and figurines.
The collection will be a thematic recollection spanning events and articles pre World War 2 Malaya, the Emergency period up to modern Malaysia. Among the models planned and in various stge of completion to be included in the collection are the Admiral Cheng Ho’s flagship in Mallaccan period colours, a vignette of the heroic Lt Adnan of the 1st Malay Regiment in WW2, the sinking of the British Battleship Prince of Wales off the coast of Kuantan, a Communist camp air strike by 4 participating bomber jets during the Emergency period, a one of a kind scratch built model of our Malaysian Ferret armoured car, and many more…..
Scale modelling offers the viewers a more intensive experience in appreciating the subject material. In its basic art form, scale modelling allows the participants to create and choose their own window to view the models on display and be transported to a time in history.
The primary exhibition will be held on Saturday & Sunday 25 & 26 August at the MySciFiFan Outpost, Cineleisure Damansara, with various exhibits presented until 31 August.
