OUR SPONSOR
Our main sponsor is Hobby Art Gallery (HAG). Founded by Ms Joyce Teo in 2002, HAG is now an established haven for Gundam and other scale model kits. The original retail shop is situated at Sunshine Plaza in Bencoolen Street, while a second branch Hobby Art @ Work (HAW) was opened in 2012 at LTC Building in Macpherson. Together, both branches provide an extensive range of products for scale modellers, including kits, tools and paints.
I am thrilled to welcome each and every one of you to Tetsujin! As the organizer of this event, it brings me immense joy to witness the passion and talent that our community embodies.
Tetsujin is not just a competition; it's a celebration of creativity, innovation, and the boundless potential that resides within our community. Whether you're a seasoned modeler or a first-time entrant, this event is an opportunity for all of us to come together, showcase our skills, and foster a spirit of friendly competition.
Our vision when founding Tetsujin was to create a space where individuals could connect, learn, and progress. Tetsujin is an embodiment of that vision, providing a platform for you to shine and be recognized for your unique talents.
This competition is more than just a challenge; it's a chance to push boundaries, explore new ideas, and contribute to the vibrant tapestry of our community. I encourage each participant to embrace the spirit of competition, learn from one another, and make the most of this enriching experience.
May this event be a source of inspiration, creativity, and camaraderie for all.
Best of luck to each participant, and let the excitement unfold!

GUEST JUDGE
"It was my first time in Singapore, and I wasn't even sure if anyone knew who I was, but I was so happy to be warmly welcomed by all of you. I also had no prior knowledge about the quality of model-making there, but I was pleasantly surprised to see that it was much more sophisticated than I had imagined. It was amazing to see how passionately and joyfully everyone was working on their models.
Through the event, I gained a lot of inspiration and motivation from your work. If I could be a similar source of inspiration for you all, then I feel my visit was well worth it.
Let's continue to enjoy our model-making lives together. I look forward to the day we meet again!"
