Yeahโผ๏ธ SiennyLovesDrawing ๐ฉ๐ป recently went to visit the Asia ๐ โs largest 1:87 miniature exhibition ~ MinNature Malaysia ๐ฒ๐พ ๐
This is Malaysiaโs ๐ฒ๐พ 1๏ธโฃst & largest miniature exhibition with utilizing 1:87 scale models of everything from buildings ๐ญ๐ก, nature ย ๐๐& human ๐ญ๐ฌmodels. It aims to replicate an entire ecosystem of animal ๐๐๐ life, human ๐ญ๐ฌbeings & lifestyle activities โท๐๐ปwithin a 1:87 scale sizing in its re-creation ๐๐
The brainchild behind this exhibition is Mr. Alvin Wan Cheng Huat ๐จ๐ปโ๐ผwho aims to bring a different experience to Malaysia ๐ฒ๐พ when it comes to models & miniature displays. He has been inspired by Miniatur Wunderland Hamburgย ๐ฉ๐ช & then sought to build a Malaysian ๐ฒ๐พversion of a miniature wonderland ๐ค
In this connection, Alvin ๐จ๐ปโ๐ผsets along a long road in realising this dream, raising the capital ๐ฐ๐ต, going through a lot of self-training to be able to setup, source & build all the required models used in the MinNature Malaysia ๐ฒ๐พ exhibition currently ๐๐ปโ๐ป
Bravoโผ๏ธ It has attracted over 4๏ธโฃK visitors ๐ซ๐ญ๐ฌ in their 1๏ธโฃst 3๏ธโฃ months since its operations ๐๐ป๐๐ป
During the visit, SiennyLovesDrawing ๐ฉ๐ป really amazed ๐๐คฉ with the effort, passionate & patience exercised in building every single miniature in the whole exhibition ๐ฒ๐ฎ
Let’s guess which Disney princess ๐ธ๐ผโโ๏ธ
With more than 3๏ธโฃ years of hard work & passion, Alvinโs team, the Masterbuilders, have built more than 1๏ธโฃK miniature buildings ๐ฏ๐with more than 5๏ธโฃK figures ๐๐ฆโฝ๏ธ๐The sophisticated designs & intricately created craftworks of the models will wow๐ฑ๐ณthe visitors who are willing to take their time to explore over 7๏ธโฃK sqft of numerous different themes ๐๐บ๐ & โwonderlandsโ ๐ก๐
There are some recognisable landmarks & iconic buildings in Malaysia ๐ฒ๐พ, as well as buildings ย ๐ข๐& structures ๐๐ค๐ฃfrom the creative imagination of the Masterbuilders. Tons of steel, wood & plasters form the foundation of this extraordinary exhibition ๐ค๐
Each building at the Dataran centerpiece has been intricately modeled based on their originals, & recreated by ๐ 3D printers
The entire exhibition on display has been built & made by hand ๐คโ a process, which has led to the 3๏ธโฃ years of set-up until where it is today. Over 80 staff ๐ฌ๐ญhave contributed the whole lengthy process.
More than 40 trains ๐ traverse along the 2,600-feet-long railways ๐คaround the exhibition. Along each & every square feet of the exhibition, there is a miniature masterpiece to be admired ๐๐๐ป

Staff are available & helpful in providing a quality experience to all its visitors ๐ซ๐ญ๐ฌby answering queriesโas well as giving visitors a 1๏ธโฃst-hand explanation on the intricate models in the exhibition.

Updated 31 Jan 2020
Yeah!! Congrats as 1st phase will be opening on 29 Feb 2020
Hmm…guess what?
SiennyLovesDrawing was told by someone from her 1st visit to MinNature Malaysia ๐ฒ๐พ ๐ (at the old venue) that she ๐ฉ๐ป actually looks like a Korean ๐ฐ๐ทcelebrity named Gong Hyo Jin (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gong_Hyo-jin) ๐๐
Frankly, SiennyLovesDrawing wasn’t sure who is Gong Hyo Jin at the momentโ
So she googled & chosen this photo that she thinks somehow got similarities perhaps
What do you all think? ๐
