Half-term fun for kids of all ages at Scale Models Expo in Wellington

The best scale modellers flock to Wellington as New Zealand’s largest scale model show comes to Upper Hutt over the weekend of 21-22 April.

Event organiser Grant Matchett says there will be lots for children of all ages to see and do at the expo.

“Scale Models Expo has been held in Wellington since early this century and has achieved an international reputation with exhibitors attending from around New Zealand as well as Australia while the best modellers compete for their share of thousands of dollars of prizes on offer.

“But we also really want to ensure everyone can get involved in this extremely relaxing and rewarding hobby which is why there will be free Airfix and Warhammer model building sessions for kids as well as demonstrations in miniature figure painting and wargaming” said Grant.

“Additionally, Sir Peter Jackson’s Wellington based World War One model company Wingnut Wings will be there with limited pre-release example of their latest offering available exclusively to show attendees who will be the first people on the planet to see it” said Grant Matchett.

WHAT: Scale Models Expo 2018 – Hundreds of scale model trucks, cars, planes and military equipment on display, giveaways for children and model making demonstrations.

WHERE: Upper Hutt Arts & Entertainment Centre 836 Fergusson Drive
