Frontline Hobbies and plastic military models
When Frontline Hobbies began way back in 1978, we started out in a ten square metre shop selling model soldiers under the name Mainly Military. About ten years later, we changed our name to Frontline Hobbies to reflect our expanding range of hobby supplies such as model building, model railways and radio control, but still kept that nod to our military origins.
Today, we’ve expanded into Australia’s largest hobby store and still offer a massive range of military modelling supplies including model military aircraft, model military ships and of course, model soldiers.

From ancient civilisations to modern warfare, history has been made in land battles.
Times of war have always spurred innovation and new technologies with countless inventions from radar and night vision to walkie talkies and velcro, military innovation has had a huge impact on our everyday lives.
Some of the most incredible technology has come in the form of military land vehicles which have been adapted through human ingenuity and necessity to be capable of incredible feats.
From landmine-proof tanks to bushmaster vehicles capable of sustaining crews for three days without any external support, military vehicles aren't just fascinating pieces of technology but important parts of human history. When assembling military models, it's hard not to marvel at the sheer amount of engineering and genius that has gone into their design.
