See, buy and BUILD models surrounded by the best collection of tanks in the world at The Tank Museum over the weekend of 7-8 February!
The South West Model Show, hosted here at The Tank Museum, brings together an amazing variety of scale models – from planes and ships to sci-fi creations, and of course, tanks!
Visitors can enjoy model-themed tours, expert talks and practical tips, plus plenty of hands on activities for mini modellers.
Our Events Co-ordinator, Milda Siauciulyte, said:
“The South West Model show returns this February with a fantastic programme. The family-friendly weekend will showcase expert model making, robots from the hit tv show ‘Robot Wars’ and even visits from the iconic Daleks.”
“Don’t miss out on our model making competition for all abilities featuring top prizes such as TANKFEST tickets and even a ride in a tank!”
Fans of the hit TV show ‘Robot Wars’ are in for a treat – some of the iconic robots from this series will be on display over the weekend, available to see up close.
Alongside the robots, the show will feature hundreds of model displays, dioramas and the chance to buy and see models of all kinds.
General admission tickets include entry to the show, so you can explore our powerful and interactive exhibitions on your visit.
