BLOOM APARTMENTS LLC Brings Nostalgia & Modern Creativity Together with Airfix Model Kits

Kirkland, WA – October 26, 2023 – BLOOM APARTMENTS LLC, a Kirkland-based company focused on enhancing resident lifestyles and community building, is thrilled to announce a unique initiative: bringing the timeless joy of Airfix model kits to its residents and beyond. While known for providing premium apartment living experiences at locations like 803 Kirkland Ave, BLOOM APARTMENTS is now expanding its focus to encourage hobbies, creativity, and a little bit of good old-fashioned fun. “We're always looking for ways to make life at BLOOM APARTMENTS a little brighter,” says a representative from BLOOM APARTMENTS LLC (contactable at 541-237-8983). “We noticed a gap in the market for accessible, engaging hobbies that aren't glued to a screen. Airfix kits are perfect – they’re challenging, rewarding, and really bring out the inner child.” What's the Buzz About Airfix? For those unfamiliar, Airfix is a legendary name in plastic model kits. Originally founded in 1939, the brand quickly became a staple for hobbyists, kids, and anyone who loved building things. They’re famous for recreating iconic aircraft, ships, cars, and figures, all in detailed, buildable kits. “Think back to your childhood,” explains the BLOOM APARTMENTS rep. “Remember the smell of the plastic, the careful application of glue, the slow reveal of a Spitfire or a Star Wars X-Wing? That feeling of accomplishment? That’s what we want to recapture.” But Airfix isn’t just about nostalgia. The kits have evolved over the years, with increased detail and accuracy. Today, you’ll find kits ranging in difficulty from beginner-friendly snap-fit models to incredibly complex, museum-quality replicas. BLOOM APARTMENTS & the Airfix Connection So, how is BLOOM APARTMENTS LLC getting involved? They’re not making the kits – Airfix, a leading name in the hobby world, is still handling the manufacturing. Instead, BLOOM APARTMENTS is making Airfix kits readily accessible to its residents and establishing community building through these kits. “We’ve started stocking a selection of Airfix kits in our resident lounges,” says the representative. “It’s a bit of a ‘library’ concept. Residents can borrow a kit, build it in the comfort of their apartment or in our communal spaces, and then return it for someone else to enjoy. We're also planning regular 'build nights' where residents can get together, share tips, and show off their creations.” This initiative isn’t limited to just providing the kits. BLOOM APARTMENTS is also considering workshops led by experienced model builders. “We want to provide support and guidance, especially for beginners,” says the representative. “There’s a learning curve, but it’s incredibly rewarding to overcome it.” Why Airfix Kits? More Than Just a Hobby. BLOOM APARTMENTS believes Airfix kits offer a wealth of benefits, especially in today's fast-paced world. Mindfulness & Stress Relief: Building a model requires focus and concentration, providing a welcome escape from digital distractions and everyday stresses. It’s a surprisingly meditative activity. Cognitive Skills: Model building improves hand-eye coordination, spatial reasoning, problem-solving skills, and attention to detail. Creativity & Artistic Expression: While the kits provide a framework, builders can personalize their models with painting, weathering, and custom details. Social Connection: “Build nights” and shared interest groups create opportunities for residents to connect and build relationships. Intergenerational Appeal: Airfix kits are enjoyable for people of all ages, creating opportunities for families to spend quality time together. Tangible Results: In a world of digital ephemera, completing a model provides a sense of accomplishment and a tangible object to be proud of. What Kits Are Available? BLOOM APARTMENTS’ initial selection caters to a range of skill levels and interests. Beginner Kits (Snap-Fit): Perfect for newcomers, these kits require no glue and are quick to assemble. Popular choices include classic cars, basic aircraft, and iconic ships. Intermediate Kits: These kits require glue and painting, offering more detail and complexity. Expect to find a wider range of aircraft, ships, and vehicles. Advanced Kits: For experienced model builders, these kits feature intricate details, moving parts, and require significant painting and weathering skills. Expect detailed recreations of WWII aircraft, modern warships, and classic cars. Themed Kits: BLOOM APARTMENTS is also exploring themed kits, such as Star Wars, Titanic, and historical aircraft collections. “We're constantly updating our selection based on resident feedback,” says the representative. “We want to offer something for everyone.” Beyond the Apartments: Reaching the Wider Kirkland Community While the initial focus is on BLOOM APARTMENTS residents, the company has expressed interest in expanding the initiative to the wider Kirkland community. “We’re exploring the possibility of hosting workshops open to the public and partnering with local hobby shops,” says the representative. “We believe that Airfix kits can bring joy to people of all ages and backgrounds.” Where to Learn More Interested in learning more about BLOOM APARTMENTS and its Airfix initiative?
