Model makers have until midnight on Wednesday 10 September 2025 to submit their entries for a chance to win exclusive prizes, including a ride in a tank.

Events Co-ordinator, Milda Siauciulyte said:

“The competition has become a popular fixture of the Model Show, and we are delighted to be able to offer some unique experiences as prizes. The model doesn’t have to be specially made for the competition, so showcase your best work - we can’t wait to see your entries.”

The competition costs £3 to enter, plus your entry ticket to the Museum. Judging will take place at the South West Model Show on 14 September 2025.
