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.
