SAPMA Model Expo | SBLUG Exhibit

10.14.2017 – It was a busy Saturday all throughout Adelaide with SBLUG (Southern Bricks LEGO® Users Group) weekend activities at two events with Inside the Brick and the other is a special participation with this year’s SAPMA Model Expo. While everyone was at Wayville for the LEGO® centric event SBLUG had set-up mini display and exhibit at South Australia’s biggest scale model event held at the Immanuel College located just a few minute commute from Glenelg. It was definitely another successful outing for SBLUG.

For those who have not heard of SAPMA (South Australian Plastic Modeller’s Association) is the biggest event that caters to those into scale modelling it’s the counterpart of IPMS (International Plastic Modellers Society) in the Philippines, which has been consistently organize a major exhibition in South Australia since 1979. This was the second time SBLUG was invited to be part of the event in the last three years since 2015.

SAPMA has been an event about scale modelling, which participated by the local Gundam Club also based in South Australia. They conduct a monthly workshop at Greenlight Comics that they also have it there at the event. For the second time in three years SBLUG has displayed some unique sets and MOCs (My Own Creation) for those unfamiliar with the community and the endless possibilities of creation using the LEGO® bricks and elements.









Damien’s Choo-choo Train

The centrepiece of this mini-exhibit is Damien’s LEGO® train set-up, which has put together based from his original design that was an inspiration to South Australian Railways that has been discontinued in 1995. He shares the stories of his youth in the old place where he grew up seeing these train carrying concrete.

Damien had mentioned that he has his trains put up on display in last Easter’s Brickalaide. His interest in collection 12 volt train sets did not diminish when he found out about LEGO® from his son and seen the potential to recreate the train that he knew from his childhood and its one of the sets that you’ll find in SAPMA Expo.
