May is a busy month for the modeller in Australia as this is rapidly becoming THE month for many modelling events. While we couldn't attend all of them we did manage to take in two - The NSW Scale Modelling Championships and ACTSMS (see elsewhere in IM for this one).

The NSW Scale Modelling Championship is a two day event run by the Illawarra Plastic Modelling Association to promote the hobby in both the local region and the state. While it has only been going for a few years, it is gaining momentum and every year sees more and more people with more and more models - many of which are stunners. I was particularly impressed with the "PS Gidgee Lass" in dry-dock but there were many others. Here are just a few of them.
