Hello all.
Our names are Peter and Lisa Bibby and we are the new owners of SouthEast Hobbies.
Firstly we would like to thank Andrew and Debbie for all there help with the transition of ownership. It wasn’t the best time for them but they gave us all the help we needed and are still only a phone call away if problems pop up. (Or to give me s..t about not having done an update yet.)

It has been a very hectic first couple of months for us but it has also been very exciting.
We would like to thank everyone for being very patient with us as we get up to speed.

We have completed our first three shows and are looking forward to the next. A big thank you goes out to everyone at Illawarra, Canberra and Melbourne for making us feel more than welcome and helping us settle in, form both club members and customers alike. It is also great to put faces to the voices and emails. Its very exciting for me going through our customer base and seeing the names of some of great modelers.

We hope that we can continue to provide a level of service that SouthEast customers have been used to in the past.

Unfortunately, being the parents of two young girls, we both need to work to support there clothing requirements and extra curricular activities. This means that unfortunately we are not available the times that Andrew ran the business. Our new office hours are 12.00pm until 10.00 pm. although we are almost always contactable on our mobile.
If these times are not convenient to you please leave a message or drop us an email and we will get back to you as soon as we can.

We have had a few teething problems with some of our suppliers in the change over but hopefully most of the problems have been sorted out.

After numerous requests at the shows for any aftermarket goodies for 1/48 and 1/72
We have started negotiations with Hauler to become their Australian distributor for their range. To do this we need to put in a fairly substantial first order so if there are any requests or suggestions as to what we should stock, we would be most grateful.
