SA Scale Model Expo 2026

[Old Wombat]

I will be there all weekend (mostly)! 

Hope to see any South Aussies, & anyone else, who can make it!

I have booked some accommodation.. so pretty ,much sort of, have to be there 

Firm believer in if you go to a show, support it by contributing something to make the show of value for the public, with the hope of getting more on board.

Now what to bring, what to bring ?

OK, so I met up with BT (Buzzbomb) today at the Expo. 

Had fun checking things out & he had fun telling me to build something before I bought anything else. 

I had a great day, don't know about BT, he'll have to tell you how he saw the day.

Anyway, a few photo's;

Any Model show is a great day.. probably more so if you are not involved in running it 

Great catch up and to see some of Womby's models on the table made them better than pictures. Plus in one case it was much bigger than what I thought.

Some really nice stuff out there on the tables, a nice smattering of mostly Old Wombat whiffs, with a few of mine, but heartingly to see, others as well.

As Guy said. More tomorrow after the return visit.

Ok I pushed the do you need more models a bit hard, but still have two additions and a new airbrush to my stack.. so practice what you preach
