For the Pack 6 Scout Show booth about Gears - we built a Mini Mobile Billboard - aka a sign on a remote control car :)
You can see the car on the table here - we used it to keep our Scouts amused and to draw visitors to the booth during some of the slower periods of the day...
We started with a cool remote control car - its has 4 wheel drive, and the wheels pivot flat instead of turning left to right. (See the last pic) It has a clear bottom and a LOT of gears are visible - PERFECT for a booth about gears.
We cut some foamcore, put blue tape on the car and then hot-glued the foamcore to the blue tape. The "hot glue to blue tape" trick is getting lots of use around here lately...then we made a powerpoint slide with gears on it, and varied it for the curvature of the car body on each side of the sign.
The car was a bit hit, and brought people to the booth every time. More pics below...
