Daleks will descend on the east coast as an event showcasing the talents of local artisans and clubs makes a welcome return at the end of this month.
The eighth Lowestoft Model Engineering and Model Making Exhibition will take place at the Energy Skills Centre at the East Coast College in Lowestoft over the weekend of October 28/29.
And after the "biggest" exhibition thus far returned last year, after being cancelled for the previous two years amid the continuing coronavirus crisis, the event will again be showcasing modelling clubs and societies with a range of different disciplines.
With the exhibition organised by the Halesworth and District Model Engineering Society, Kevin Rackham, exhibition committee chairman, said: "The exhibition is now probably the biggest of its type in East Anglia.
"Ranging from traditional model engineering in all its guises to boats, aircraft, model railways, plastic modelling, fun fairs, radio controlled trucks, Daleks and Star Wars displays inside there will also be live steam traction engines and lorries, demonstration helicopter flying and radio-controlled cars and lorries outside, weather permitting."
There will also be trade stands and refreshments, with free parking and local buses stopping outside the college.
Mr Rackham said: "The entrance prices have been held again this year and it is still only £5 for adults, children (12 – 18 year olds) £2, with accompanied under 12s free.
"The beneficiary will again be Special Objective for the Local Disabled (S.O.L.D.) - a local charity which is based at Boston Lodge in Lowestoft that helps get disabled people access back into a workshop environment."
Further information about the exhibition and S.O.L.D. is available online via the exhibition website www.lowmex.co.uk
