The
scale model event takes place at the:
Higgins Hall Event Center - 5225 N. Himes Avenue in Tampa, Florida 33614
Presented
by the Table Top Cruisers
Model Club of Central Florida.
This
event is open to the public, and is family friendly. Visitors
are welcome.
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 70 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 40 "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.
See
the full vendors list on the right side of this web
page for all the fantastic vendors we have lined up
for you !
________________________________________
Being
located in Florida, we are truly an International event.
We've had modelers from various countries over the years,
most of them just a short hop by jet travel.
Modeling
friends from South America, Bahamas, Jamaica, the Virgin
Islands, and many others. A special welcome to the "Club
Viajero De Automodelismo De Puerto Rico.". We're
looking forward to hanging out with them again! |

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. |

- Vendor
Tables
- $
50.00 for 1 Table / $ 60.00 Each after March 1st
- Each
Table is 8-feet long (96 inches).
- We start with 75 vendor tables !
- Many are presold so don't wait - book your tables now !

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 "75 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 pre-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 as soon as possible.
