Yesterday, I did a small display of some of my models at the local showroom of a very high end auto restoration shop that often works on, and restores, everything from vintage MGs to Ferraris.   I picked  models of cars they have, or are likely, to restore and their business is very eclectic, from Fiat 500s to Bentleys. Vintage Underground https://vintageunderground.com/    Photo is not good due to the lighting but this is what was on display, you get the idea.

And in prior years I have done displays at the local library.  Some of these items shown were replicas of the city buses for viewers to relate to.

And once a display of the history of Buicks at a local family owned Buick dealership.

Wow, very cool and interesting. Although I hope that some of my one-off  creations end up in museums one day, I've never thought of loaning out certain pieces to display publicly.  Give yourself gold stars for: Effort, Beautifying the Community, Good Citizenship, and Generosity! 😉

Sharing your collection outside the typical collector community is a very nice thing to do. I am sure many folks appreciate it. Well done.
