Another Library Display~PICS

[JerryG]

Well I contacted our local library for a model display and they gave me the whole month of March! They had a larger case but it broke or something..but this sits in the middle where you walk in.

I contacted the owner of the NEW Hobby store and had him put some flyers on top. I hope his business gets going 'cause it's the only one around and I would hate to see it close. His shelf is full of showrod models, as well as all the other genre's...and they are just sitting there. I always try to buy something when I go in but I alone can't support it thats for sure. He's even ordering the full line of Kustom Kolors(House of Kolors) rack just because I asked about it!

On a side note I obliterated a "Paddy Wagon" when I attempted to put it on a shelf in the display and didn't notice the sliding clear glass door was closed and rammed it right into it. The model shattered in pieces. I wish my windows at home were that clean. After muttering a few choice words to myself , I had to laugh it off. ;D Oh well, heres a few pics.

Very cool. . .. There is a weird little case in ours that no body uses and I have a second display in there (as of yesterday) . . . with one build up and a second kit in parts showing where it came from. . and I put in paint and glue too. . . I tried to get it to look like a work bench!

We couldn't advertise but there are no hobby stores anyway?

GREAT display. . .and sorry about the paddy wagon. . . did anyone see you? ? ? / I hope not! ! ! !

hated to hear about the paddy wagon but have to say i have a sad story also about this very same kit ! lets go back a few years ----like 30 have all my cars sitting in the floor ( i know ,first mistake !) dusting the shelves ,pretty good for a 10 year old kid ,an my moms new "boyfriend" walks in to tell me dinner is ready ,you got it KRUUNCHHH !! made me like him even less he did buy me a new one though, thats when you could just go to the store and find them on the shelf for like $2 ,sure miss those days... dig the library display though,looks good ! ,roger

Nice! That's a good way to promote the hobby. Good job !

first of all, i can't see the pics (web blocker at work again)...but anyway....
i should see if the library here will let me do the same thing.
our library is jammed with younger kids all the time.
since this is a college town, the library here is HUGE, and is constantly full of college students.
this is such a good idea, just to get the word out about it, and by providing something visual it may get more people interested. alot of people may not even know that model building still exists.

That looks great! Check back with the librarians to see what sort of response its getting ... when our club did a display for the month of January, we were later told that display was getting constant attention, and was probably the most commented-on and popular display the library had ever had.
