How to Contact Us?

The International Plastic Modelers Society (IPMS) was first founded in 1963 in the United Kingdom, as the British Plastic Modeller's Socitey. The society was formed on the basis of "For Modellers, by Modellers" and is therefore a non-profit making organisation whose sole aim is to provide the means for its members to enhance their model building skills and increase their technical and historic knowledge through the exchange of ideas, knowledge and techniques with fellow members of the society. Since its humble beginning, the society has spread its wings and many chapters of the IPMS have been formed across the globe.

The preparation for the formation of IPMS (Singapore) was first started in September 1998 by a group of dedicated modellers, who felt the need for a society to promote the hobby of miniature modelling in Singapore. Through the determination of these modellers, the society was officially approved by the Registry of Society in December 1998 , thus the birth of the Singapore chapter.

1) Help Modeller improve their skill
The society will hold monthly meetings which will allow modellers from all walks of life in Singapore an opportunity to meet, exchange ideas and experience with fellow modellers thus helping them to improve their modelling skill to a higher level and at the same time enlarge their circles of friends.

2) Keeps members well informed
A bi-monthly Newsletter called the "Modelling Bench" will be published and distributed to its members. The newsletter will provide members with the various happenings in the modelling world, information on new and upcoming kits, kit reviews and etc.

3) Bring benefits to its members
IPMS (Singapore) has negotiated with the various hobby shops in Singapore, so that members can be given discount when they purchase models from the supporting hobby shops. Check out our Membership page and find out how you could sign-up and enjoy these benefits.

4) Showcase scale modelling
IPMS (Singapore) plans to organise modelling conventions and competition so that modellers can showcase their works. The friendly competition gives the modellers the opportunity to pit their work against fellow modellers so that they can gauge their skill level. If possible, the society will hope to organised a convention on an international scale, where manufacturers from around the globe can come and showcase their products here.

5) Promote The Hobby In Singapore
It is hope that through the events that IPMS (Singapore) organises, a greater sense of awareness for the hobby can be promoted and the traditional views that scale models are just merely toys which requires assembly can be changed. We hope to educate the general public that through proper research, patience and skills, a scale model can be transformed into an art form which can be appreciated just like a piece of painting, thus making scale modelling an admirable hobby.

Every 2 years during the Annual General Meeting,
an Executive Committee will be voted into office
by members of IPMS (Singapore).
