In 2020 (before cancellation), modellers and modelling associations from around nine countries were due to attend, and commercial organisations from around eight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Future dates &amp; tickets<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The event was usually held mid-March. Unfortunately, I read recently that the event will not take place again. Such a shame!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>No ticket was required for the event per se. However, you did need one to get inside the Museum of Military History (or you could use a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.visitingvienna.com\/sights\/vienna-pass-review\/\">sightseeing pass<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Event opening hours matched those of the museum (usually 9am to 5pm).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to get to the museum<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Just find your way to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.visitingvienna.com\/sights\/museums\/heeresgeschichtliches\/\">Heeresgeschichtliches Museum<\/a> and go inside. It&#8217;s as much a history museum as a military one and includes some quite spectacular <a href=\"https:\/\/www.visitingvienna.com\/sights\/museums\/military-history\/\">exhibits<\/a>. I still can&#8217;t quite grasp the fact they have the car that Archduke Ferdinand was assassinated in, thus setting off the chain reaction that led to World War I.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Address: Arsenal, Objekt 1, Ghegastra\u00dfe, 1030 Vienna<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div align=\"center\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/maps\/d\/u\/0\/embed?mid=1W1vCCbiBnOXMFgZ3xR7Gn33QX4EhcPn4\" width=\"400\" height=\"300\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is no longer held and has essentially been replaced by the SCALE &amp; PAINT event.
