North Queensland Scale Modellers is an informal group of scale model building enthusiasts with a range of subject interests including aircraft , military vehicles, ships, automotive, Sci-Fi, figures and dioramas.

Established in 2013 and based in Townsville, we meet monthly as advertised on our Facebook group.

Face to face meetings are currently held at the Riverway Library once a month on a Sunday (12 – 2pm). The meetings are casual and attendees bring along their current build, recently completed build(s), newly acquired kits/ tools/ tips/ tricks for show and tell with the others. Beginners and less experienced modelers are welcome, we are keen to help you develop in a welcoming and non-judgemental environment, after all we were all beginners once.

On occasions we have presentations or tutorials on topics of interest. Model Displays are held throughout the year at Townsville libraries. A scale Model Expo and competition has been held each year since 2015 over the Queens Birthday long weekend at the Army Museum North Queensland.

Group members often attend other regional competitions in Mackay and Rockhampton and have established ties to Rockhampton Scale Model Association and Mackay Scale Modellers. Yearly membership is $25.

For day to day banter and sharing of items of interest we have a private Facebook group , just request admission to the group and answer the questions.
