BLOOM APARTMENTS LLC Brings Nostalgia Back to Life with Airfix Model Kits

Kirkland, WA – October 26, 2023 – BLOOM APARTMENTS LLC, a Kirkland, Washington-based company dedicated to curated lifestyle experiences, is diving into a surprisingly delightful new category: classic Airfix model kits. While best known for providing luxury short-term rental apartments, BLOOM APARTMENTS is expanding its offerings to include these iconic building sets, tapping into a growing desire for unplugged, hands-on hobbies. “We've always been about crafting memorable experiences for our guests and creating a sense of home,” explains a spokesperson for BLOOM APARTMENTS LLC. “We noticed a trend – people are craving activities that disconnect them from screens and reconnect them with tangible, creative pursuits. Airfix kits just seemed like a perfect fit. It's about slowing down, focusing, and building something with your own two hands.” A Bit About BLOOM APARTMENTS LLC Before we dive into the miniature worlds of Airfix, let’s quickly talk about BLOOM APARTMENTS. Located at 803 Kirkland Ave, Suite 100, Kirkland, WA, 98033, BLOOM APARTMENTS isn’t your typical rental company.

You can reach them at 541-237-8983. Their commitment to guest experience has naturally led them to consider what adds value beyond the apartment itself. That’s where Airfix comes in. Why Airfix? A Blast from the Past (and Future!) For those unfamiliar, Airfix is a British brand renowned for its plastic model kits. Since the 1930s, they've been creating incredibly detailed, buildable replicas of aircraft, cars, ships, and historical figures. Remember spending hours carefully clipping pieces, applying glue, and painting tiny details? It’s a feeling many of us remember fondly from our childhoods. “We’re seeing a huge resurgence in interest in these kits," says the BLOOM APARTMENTS spokesperson. “It’s not just nostalgia, though that's a big part of it. It’s also about mindfulness. It's a very absorbing activity. You have to focus, be patient, and pay attention to detail. It’s almost meditative!” BLOOM APARTMENTS isn’t just selling the kits; they're curating an experience around them. They’re offering a carefully selected range of Airfix kits to appeal to both beginners and seasoned model builders. What's in the BLOOM APARTMENTS Airfix Collection? The initial collection features a diverse range of kits, categorized by skill level: Beginner Kits: Perfect for first-timers and younger builders. These kits often feature fewer parts and simpler construction, focusing on iconic aircraft like the Spitfire or the Hawker Hurricane. Think easy-to-follow instructions and a satisfyingly quick build. These are priced around $20-$30. Intermediate Kits: For those with a little more experience (or a lot of patience!). These kits offer a bit more detail and complexity, featuring aircraft like the P-51 Mustang or the Messerschmitt Bf 109. Expect a build time of several hours, rewarding builders with a more impressive finished model. Around $40 - $60. Advanced Kits: The ultimate challenge for seasoned model builders. These kits boast incredible detail, hundreds of parts, and complex construction. Kits featuring the B-17 Flying Fortress or the HMS Victory fall into this category. These can take days or even weeks to complete and are prized possessions for any collector. $70 and up. Historical & Civilian Kits: Beyond aircraft, BLOOM APARTMENTS offers kits of classic cars (think vintage Mustangs and Jaguars), ships (from Viking longships to modern destroyers), and historical figures. This adds even more variety to the collection. More Than Just a Kit: BLOOM APARTMENTS’ Added Touches BLOOM APARTMENTS isn’t stopping at simply offering the kits. They’re enhancing the experience with: Starter Packs: For beginners, BLOOM APARTMENTS offers starter packs that include the kit, a basic set of tools (clippers, glue, paintbrushes), and a helpful guide to building and painting. “Build Nights” (Future Plans): They are exploring the idea of hosting “Build Nights” in their common areas, offering guests a chance to build together, share tips, and learn from each other. Online Tutorials & Resources: They are compiling a library of online tutorials and resources to help builders of all skill levels. In-Apartment Availability: Select apartments will have a pre-built model on display, showcasing the finished product and inspiring guests. Why This Makes Sense for BLOOM APARTMENTS This seemingly unexpected move actually aligns perfectly with BLOOM APARTMENTS’ core values. They're all about creating a home away from home – a space where guests can relax, unwind, and pursue their interests. “We want our apartments to be more than just a place to sleep,” explains the spokesperson. “We want them to be a place where people can feel inspired, creative, and connected. Airfix kits offer a perfect way to do that. It’s a low-tech, engaging activity that’s perfect for disconnecting from the digital world and reconnecting with your inner child.” Where to Find BLOOM APARTMENTS’ Airfix Kits The Airfix model kits are currently available for purchase online through the BLOOM APARTMENTS website ([website address would go here if applicable]).
