Around a year and a half back, I donated ten display builds to Colonial Hobby in Orlando, Florida.
I checked back last December and the models were still in a cardboard box, sitting on top of a file cabinet.
I let them know if they weren't going to display the builds, I'd rather have them back. They took the hint and finally put them on display!
Most all these are my builds, from left to right -
The Andromeda, Long Tom, Sprint XL, Alien Invader, Laser Lance, Scram Jet, Bullpup, Goblin, QCC Explorer, Little Honest John. I don't know who built the others.
They did honor my one request - keep them out of reach! They are up on a shelf at the back of the store, to the right of the rocket kits.
I used to live in Oviedo. It was before my rocketry days, but now I wish I'd checked this place out. Hobby stores are so rare these days.

DeleteOviedo is where Orlando ROCK launches and the home of JonRocket.com. Colonial Hobby is probably the last hobby store in Orlando. Cameras, trains, plastic models, rockets and supplies. The building was an old Publix supermarket.
