The 1:64 Diecast Festival took over The Hills Shopping Mall in Kuching this weekend, turning the venue into a paradise for collectors, custom builders, and families. Crowds from all across Malaysia packed the event, which has already been dubbed one of Sarawak’s biggest and most exciting diecast showcases to date.
Among all the displays, one team stole the spotlight — SRWK. Acting as both participants and judges, the team wowed visitors with a one-of-a-kind creation that merged cutting-edge 3D printing with traditional handcrafting techniques.
Their showpiece, inspired by a real-life car modification garage, was a hyper-detailed miniature diorama — a full streetscape recreated in 1:64 scale. Every curb, signboard, and streetlamp was modeled and assembled with obsessive precision, transforming maps into lifelike, tangible scenes.
The SRWK team revealed that this ambitious project required far more than technical skill. It involved layers of 3D printing, hand-sculpting, painting, and polishing, each demanding patience and precision. “We don’t just build models,” said a team member. “We recreate memories and moments — turning imagination into something you can actually see and feel.”
Visitors couldn’t get enough. Many stopped in disbelief, calling it “a real street that’s somehow been shrunk.” The level of realism — from the glimmer on the asphalt to the warmth of the lighting — left even seasoned collectors in awe.
SRWK’s masterpiece didn’t just draw attention — it set a new benchmark for Sarawak’s growing creative and model-making community. With innovation, craftsmanship, and sheer passion driving their work, SRWK showed that miniature models aren’t just collectibles — they’re art in its purest form.
