The event is organised by IPMS Malta. The society was established in 1981 with the primary role of bringing local modellers together, and since then has been hosting annual modelling exhibitions of the highest standards. Malta is one of the first IPMS chapters to have adopted the Open System of judging-based award system. The chapter not only represents the International Plastic Modelling Society (IPMS) but is also a founder member of the Malta Aviation Museum at Ta’ Qali, which hosts a permanent model display entitled ‘History in Scale’. The society is also a member of the World Model Soldier Federation that organises the World Model Expo every three years
