Herr Feldmarschall, photographic proof.... we have nothing to worry about!

Are our  uniforms at AMPS shows OK, then?

They can't be all bad ; probably never strapped a 1/2 scale F-104 to their Chevys.

The hobby industry has "make and take" days. Usually put on by local IPMS chapters, but not always. If you go to Revell's website there is a link there for how to do one with their products.

Free comic book day - maybe an idea for the model industry
Posted by gunner_chris on Sunday, May 6, 2012 9:35 AM

What a great idea the comic industry has.  A nationally advertised program where stores in most cities participate, they are supplied with comics to give away but in turn get people in the door and interested in the hobby.

I wonder if it's something that the model industry could use to spark interest in young modellers.

Even a simple snap tite of common cars or tanks.

Business wise I'm sure it's a challenge because truly nothing in life is free.  The cost associated with producing a small comic book don't quite compare to a model kit.  But their appeal is not unlike ours where only a small niche of society is willing to invest their limited cash flow into it.  And from what I saw some comics or graphic novels go for $20 and up so people obviously spend quite a bit there once their interest is peaked.

 

Probably just thinking out loud, just thinking it could be what the industry needs to inject the new blood that's often discussed as lacking.
