G'day fellow Victorians,

I'm not sure how many of you check our Aussie community discussion group regularly, but we have at least 3 modelling events coming up in March '09. This month is chockers!

Check them out here:

Eastern Suburbs Scale Modelling Club Swap & Sell (Sunday 8th March)
Wheels & Tracks 2009: who's going? (Sunday 15 March)
Central Victorian Automotive Model Show (Sunday 29 March)

If you know of other model related events (shows, swaps, or even club meets) please feel free to submit the even via the link on the Aussie community homepage.

If anyone would like to meet up at any of these events, please give me a shout - although I doubt I'll be at the Auto show.

Hi all,

Attended the Eastern Suburbs Scale Modelling Club Swap & Sell today, my first Aussie modelling event (not counting the numerous trips to the various LHSs and MMM with Da Boyz )

All I can say is Wow! For a guy from South Africa was a tad like Aladdin's Cave. So many kits for sale, so many people in such a small space (literally wasn't too big), so many bargains to be had - and even more so if you're an aircraft modeller. I really did have to practice some restraint. Thank goodness I only took a certain amount of cash and that no one was taking credit cards!

What did I pick up though? LionRoar's R75 motorcycles (2 bikes in the kit), DML's Panzer I Early, and a Bandai Raiden Armour - all kits are 1/35. And only for $45 the lot!

I definitely recommend this model meet to all Victorian and visiting modellers - even if you're not specifically looking for something, you'll find something.

My thanks again to Brad for once again giving me a lift home Much obliged, mate!
