M CON 07/08 is a special modeling event organized by M WORKSHOP to spice up our local modeling environment. This event aims to promote scale modeling and at the same time allow modelers to exchange experience with fellow modelers. Furthermore, we hope that this event will help improve the standard of scale modeling in Singapore with our “open judging*” method.
