SOUND the horns, rev the engines, and gather the troops, the annual Port Macquarie Scale Model Expo is back this July, just in time for the school holidays.
Hosted by Port Macquarie Scale Modellers, the expo has shared a fun-filled family event with the community for over 25 years.
Showcasing a wide variety of scale models, it is a significant event for model enthusiasts of all levels from across the region.
“On display will be a wide variety of models, with everything from radio-controlled ships and aircraft to period ships and working railways”, Co-ordinator Craig Anderson told News Of The Area.
“You will be able to view models constructed of timber, fibreglass and resin.
“Plastic scale models will include aircraft both modern jets and old warbirds, armoured fighting vehicles, science fiction, ships, figures and so much more.”
As per previous years, the expo will feature a wide variety of vendors who will carry everything from basic starter kits for the budding new modeller and modelling tools and paints, through to advanced kits and accessories for the more skilled builder.
Entry is via gold coin with proceeds supporting the Mid North Coast Maritime Museum in Port Macquarie.
Catch the Scale Model Expo in the Main Auditorium at Panthers Port Macquarie on Saturday 12 and Sunday 13 July.
Doors open at 9am.
