At this event, actual finished works by professional modelers, which can usually only be seen in magazines or on SNS, will be exhibited and sold. Rare works that have been published as examples in modeling magazines are also scheduled to make an appearance.

Live production demonstrations by professional modelers who are active on the front lines will also be held on different days.

This is a rare opportunity to see up close and personal the techniques used by modelers.

In addition, workshops (for a fee) will be held at the venue, using products from various manufacturers as teaching materials.

Both beginners and experienced modelers are welcome to participate, as well as parents and children, to experience "making with your own hands.

The programs can be completed in 30 to 90 minutes, and are perfect for free research during summer vacation.

This event, which allows visitors to "see, touch, make, and play" all at once, is sure to be a gateway to a new hobby that can be enjoyed with all five senses, not only for model fans and hobby enthusiasts, but also for those who would like to try their hand at modeling.
