The Western Australian Scale Model Expo (WASMEx) is a public exposition of scale modelling in Western Australia. It is an annual event and is an opportunity for anyone within the hobby, beginner to expert, to display their work.
Overview
WASMEx started in the year 2000 and remains Western Australia's premier scale modelling event.
It is a multi hall exposition held over 2 days in August.
The main hall features displays by both local clubs and individual enthusiasts and also commercial stands representing some of Perth's major hobby retailers.
The second hall incorporates the WA scale model building championship competition.
Sunday morning hosts a second-hand market to allow builders to sell unbuilt models and kits from their personal stash or buyers to pick up a model to add to theirs!
Competition
A large open competition for scale models is held during the Expo. The competition is open to everyone - you do not have to be a club member to enter - and there are junior and intermediate categories for younger modellers. All entries are welcome. There are loads of trophies and some great prizes to be won.

Second-hand market
A second-hand market is held on the Sunday morning. This is one of the highlights of the event with a wide variety of kits, models, equipment and reference books at knock-down prices. For the astute shopper there are bargains galore, alternatively you can use this as an opportunity to thin out your stash of unbuilt kits.

Exhibiting your models
Are you an individual modeller with something to show off? Why not become a part of the exhibition and put your models on display for everyone to admire?
Perhaps your club pursues a hobby other than plastic scale modelling but would still like to participate in WASMEx? We do like to offer variety every year however we place a limit on the number of clubs with other interests in order to maintain the focus on our core hobby. Contact WASMEx for further details.
Organization
WASMEx is organised by the WASMEx committee, a small and dedicated group of hard-working volunteer enthusiasts. All Western Australian modelling clubs are invited to have representation on the committee and therefore no single club can claim ownership of the event. Interested individuals - non club members - are also on the committee. WASMEx Inc. is a non-profit organisation run entirely by volunteers solely for the benefit of the Western Australian modelling community. If you would like to contribute in any way, especially if you would like to join the committee, please feel free to contact the secretary.
