5th Hobby Convention 2025: Unleash Your Passion in Bintulu! Dive into a whirlwind of creativity and fandom at the 5th Hobby Convention 2025, Sarawak's premier gathering for hobbyists, collectors, and dreamers! Running from 17-21 December 2025 at Boulevard Shopping Mall, Bintulu, Sarawak, this five-day extravaganza transforms the bustling mall into a vibrant hub of imagination and innovation. Organized by local enthusiasts and supported by key partners like SHUMI and TOBUS, the convention celebrates the joy of hands-on hobbies, drawing crowds of all ages to showcase, compete, and connect over shared obsessions. Whether you're a meticulous builder, a customizer extraordinaire, or a cosplay maestro, expect workshops, vendor stalls, live demos, and epic showdowns that spark inspiration and forge lifelong friendships. This year's theme, "Build, Customize, Transform", spotlights the endless possibilities of hobby crafting. From intricate scale models to high-octane vehicle mods and immersive character embodiments, the event promises non-stop action amid festive holiday vibes—perfect for holiday gifting, skill-building, and pure fun. Entry is free, with family-friendly zones ensuring everyone leaves buzzing with ideas. Spotlight on Three Must-See Themes Experience the convention's diverse lineup through these standout examples, each a gateway to hands-on hobby heaven: Diorama Art Competition: Step into a miniature world where everyday scenes explode into lifelike masterpieces. Picture a bustling harbor at dusk: towering shipping containers from giants like Evergreen and Maersk stack like urban canyons, while sleek diecast cars—sedans, SUVs, and sports coupes—glide across rain-slicked docks under glowing streetlights. Competitors craft these 3D storytelling dioramas using paints, LED accents, and recycled elements, judging categories from realism to whimsy. It's your chance to vote, learn techniques in free workshops, or enter your own epic build—proving that small-scale art can capture big emotions. Diecast Custom Battle: Rev your engines for the ultimate showdown in automotive artistry! Imagine gripping a bare diecast chassis, then unleashing your inner mechanic with airbrushed flames, 3D-printed spoilers, and LED headlights that roar to life. This high-stakes competition pits custom rides against each other in categories like "Street Beast" and "Futuristic Fury," with pros and amateurs battling for glory under the Sarawak Diecast Convention banner. Spectate drag-strip demos, swap tips at mod stations, or join the fray—where a humble Hot Wheels can evolve into a show-stopping beast that turns heads and wins hearts. Cosplay Land Competition: Become the hero of your own anime-fueled saga in this confirmed extravaganza of transformation and flair! Envision channeling a pink-haired powerhouse like Haikyuu's fierce setter: vibrant wig flowing, uniform tailored to perfection, and props that pop with LED glows and foam-crafted details. From entry-level builds to pro-level illusions, cosplayers strut the runway in themed parades, judged on accuracy, creativity, and charisma. Interactive photo booths, makeup tutorials, and group panels let you mingle with fellow fans—turning Boulevard Mall into a living manga page where self-expression reigns supreme. Beyond these highlights, roam vendor halls brimming with rare finds, attend guest artist talks, and fuel up at food courts with local Sarawakian twists on snacks.
