A day of scale-modelling competition, swap & sell tables and spectator voting - every dollar raised goes to Soldier On.
Online entries close midnight, Friday 11 September 2026 - walk-in entries also welcome on the day.
The N.N.L Modelling Competition & Swap Meet is Northern Area Modellers' annual celebration of scale modelling - bring along your best builds, get judged across 24 competition classes, and see how you stack up against fellow modellers from across the region.
Alongside the competition, spectators get their own say too - everyone through the door can vote for their favourite model on the day. There'll be swap & sell tables from fellow hobbyists and local traders, plus a raffle running throughout the show.
Every dollar raised on the day - entry fees, raffle tickets, swap & sell table takings - goes directly to Soldier On.
Fill in the entry form with your details and each model you're bringing - takes a few minutes.
Bring your models along and check in at the door - walk-in entries are welcome too.
Your models go on display for judging across the day, and for everyone to enjoy.
Entrants and spectators vote, judges award each class, and trophies are presented.
Entering a model is priced per model, with the cost dropping the more you bring - and it's capped, so there's no reason to hold your best builds back. Just visiting? Spectator entry is a flat fee, with a family pass available.
All proceeds from the show go towards Soldier On.
Aircraft, armour, cars, ships, sci-fi, figures, dioramas and more - plus a dedicated Junior/Intermediate class for builders under 18. Models may be entered in one class only.
All models are eligible for Best in Show and People's Choice. Australian-subject builds are automatically eligible for the Simon Breust Memorial Trophy too.
Anyone can book a Swap & Sell table to buy, sell or trade hobby-related gear - grab a raffle ticket while you're there too. Every dollar raised goes to Soldier On.
