The practical side of turning up with a car: what to bring, what to put on the glass, how to start a conversation and how to leave with a way to find each other again. Written to be useful whether or not you ever own a panel.
A show board has about twenty seconds to earn a conversation. Here is what belongs on it, how to lay it out so it reads from a few metres back, and a build sheet you can copy today.
Grouped so you can scan it the night before — the car kit, the display kit, your own kit, what to leave at home, and the timeline that makes show morning calm instead of frantic.
