We often showcase the intricate details of each figurine in our Singapore Heritage Miniature collection. But the magic really happens when the miniatures come together in a complete Singapore Heritage scene display. Be it Chinatown in the 1950s, or a colourful Malay Wedding procession through a kampong, these landscapes are sure to capture one’s imagination and evoke nostalgia. Here are two displays that we set up in our own home. We hope that they’ll inspire you to create your own scenes and displays!
Miniature 1950s Singapore Chinatown Scene – Home Display
We placed our miniatures on a simple table pedestal and added spotlights on either side. As our figurines are small, lighting is essential for bringing out the details of each piece.
Most people would opt for a cover to keep the dust out. However, we prefer to leave it open so that we can rearrange the scene easily and pick up the figurines to admire them.
Some of the figurines from different sets can be mixed with others. For instance, we placed the Chinese Woman with the Brush Seller to make it look like they’re interacting with each other.
Our Singapore Heritage Shophouses were designed to join together seamlessly. This recreates the five-foot ways that are so iconic to the streets of Singapore and Malaysia. Our shophouse models come in a yellow and white design, but can be duplicated in your display for an even more eye-catching scene.
Here’s a video that shows the process of recreating the entire scene:
Miniature Malay Wedding in a Kampong Scene – Home Display
This miniature Malay Wedding procession walks amidst handmade kampong houses and a road paved with palm trees. The burst of colour is truly festive and eye-catching.
The Umbrella Bearers and Silat Performer are must-haves as accompaniments for the Bride and Groom figures. In addition, the Children with sparkling Bunga Manggar add the perfect touch to the scene.
And here’s how the kampong diorama looks on its own:
That’s it! Now head on over to our webstore to start creating your own nostalgic and cultural scenes of old Singapore!
Do you sell your displays, or the components of your displays so that the complete display can be built up over time?
These little scenes are adorable! Bringing Singapores past to life on a table is pure magic. Though Im slightly envious of the spotlights β my own display probably looks a bit like a lost toy collection! Mixing and matching sets sounds like brilliant fun, though I imagine my wife might not be *so* keen on me turning the kitchen table into kampong street. The shophouses look fantastic recreating those iconic five-foot ways. Honestly, I might just start collecting these myself, even if I have to rearrange the bookshelf for display space! Highly inspired, and I *will* definitely check out the webstore for the components to create my very own, slightly less elaborate, nostalgic Singapore corner.γ’γ€γ γγγ γγ₯γΌγγ³ γ¨γ³γγ£γ³γ°
