G’Day and welcome!

The ACTSMS is an active group of Scale Modellers from Canberra, Australia (the Australian Capital Territory Scale Modellers' Society). We enjoy building scale models, promoting the hobby and learning from each other. The ACTSMS is also the home of ScaleACT, one of Australia's premiere scale model shows. 

We hold monthly meetings and participate in shows and displays throughout Canberra and the region. 

New Members and visitors are very welcome – please drop in and say Hi!

Scale modelling is more than just the craft and art of building miniature replicas of a subject. The hobby offers a wide range of mental health, well-being, creative, and social benefits, particularly when enjoyed as part of a club or society, such as the Australian Capital Territory Scale Modellers Society. Modern, science-based research increasingly demonstrates the positive impact of hobbies like scale modelling on mindfulness, stress reduction, social connection, confidence, and overall well-being.
