Presented by the Table Top Cruisers Model Club of Central Florida.

The 16th Semi-Annual IPMS SouthLandz Model Car Contest and Swap Meet will be taking place November 7, 2020.

The scale model event takes place at the Christ is King Church. A 22,000 SQFT building located in the City of Largo, on the west coast of Florida, just south of Clearwater and west of Tampa.

The Southlandz Model Event happens at 11220 Oakhurst Road, Largo, Florida, 33774.

Going north, the Highway I-75 can get you to I-275 west to St. Petersburg, through Pinellas Park, and then to highway 19 to work your way west.

Coming south you can take I-75 to I-275 south west from Tampa, and then to Penellas Park to work your way west.

This event is open to the public, and is family friendly. Visitors are welcome.

After 10+ years the Southlandz Model Show and Swap Meet has grown larger each year and attendance is higher than ever before, all because of modelers like you! As always, the event will have vendors selling all kinds of models and related products. Tools, paint, photoetch, kits, books, just about anything you could want to support your favorite hobby and ours.

There are 60 tables worth of vendors - and these are 8-foot tables mind you - so you can image how much is packed into this show! Looking for that one model you always wanted? Looking for great prices and special deals you won't see anywhere else? This is the place to be.

Along with the vendors there will be literally HUNDREDS of models on display. All of them a small work or art unto itself. There are 36 "Modelers Choice" classes, so there's a spot for everyone, no matter what you build. Be prepared to spend all day with us because there's a lot to see and do.

These Themed classes above are judged by a small but select group of people who are familiar with judging and models. Models entered into a theme class are not judged by attendees, only the judges.

We've added a quick Wish List form you can download. We know that once you get to the show, you can easily get caught up in the event and distracted. Then you forget to get something you specifically came to the event to try and find. Maybe a model part to finish a model project, or a specific model kit you're were looking for.

With the quick Wish List, you can write down what you need and what you're looking to get, bring it to the show, and you'll be sure not to forget anything.

• We start with 60 vendor tables:
• $ 30.00 for 1 Table
• $ 50.00 for 2 Tables
• $ 60.00 for 3 Tables
• Each Table is 8-feet long (96 inches).

Vendors: You don't have to be a "company" or a "business" to be a Vendor. If you've got a few hundred (thousands?) of plastic model kits, and you want to "thin the herd" a bit, or sell off some multiples and duplicates, selling as a vendor can help turn those extra kits into cash. Vendor tables are limited, so we only ask that you have plenty of models kits to fill the table(s) you get. The more the better.

Note that "60 tables" sounds like a lot, but many vendors have been selling at our shows for years, so many of the tables go fast, and are sold way ahead of time. The closer to the event date it gets, the faster they sell. If you wait too long, there might be 20 tables left, and then a week later when you go to get one - nothing. So please order your tables ahead of time.

"Modelers Choice" means - At 11:00 AM we began to give ballots out to attendees, who peruse each class individually and make their choice on which model they believe is the best quality.

Note that the people attending the event are mostly modelers, so they do know what to look for and they do know about cars and models. This allows a wider and more diverse group of people to look at the various models and see what you've built.
