Malta's largest scale modelling society, the Society for Scale Modelers (SSM), recently won various awards at in the prestigious Euromilitaire Model Expo, held in Folkstone, UK.

This annual competition brings together the best in military vehicle, diorama and historical figure sculptors and painters from around the world, in what is widely recognised as the prime event of the year in the international scale modelling scene.

This is not the first year that members from the SSM have made their presence felt at Euromilitaire. In fact, excellent results have been registered as early as 1996, culminating in the first gold medal in 2007.

This year's Euromilitaire saw an unprecedented haul of 21 awards for the SSM, including two prestigious gold medals, four silver and five bronze medals, five highly commended, five commended awards and three silver medals in the Junior Class (Under 16).

Members from the society hope to repeat their Euromilitaire results in a competition being held in December in Catania, Sicily.

Every Wednesday, the SSM hosts gatherings at its premises in Blata l-Bajda. Visit www.ipmsmalta.com for more information.
