Too many information for make only a comment. I just said THANKS

Terry, nice builds.

Jim, thanks for the Sci-fi.

Question.  I see a lot of stuff that has been on the tables for at least the last 2 years.  Know these are SIG and Club tables.  Is it common to repeat use of builds or is it just not enough new stuff to fill the table(s)?  Not saying this is a bad thing as they usually are pretty good stuff but it is nice to see new stuff.  Especially like the Aliens APCs and the Grey Death Legion Marauder (if I can find a 72nd scale kit that is what I was planning with it).

New suff will normallly take precedence on the tables with older stuff filing any gaps.

Depends on the SIG/club. We were back to back with the Australia (?) SIG, which was manned by just one guy. He wouldn't have had a table full of new models. The What-if SIG had very few repeats since there's so many of us supplying models now. Many clubs have a theme for the stand and will spend the year building models to that theme.

[Radish]

Hobbes is correct. Many clubs have themes (Stafford's was based on Rock songs0 which have mostly new builds often. But SIGs are a different entity in most cases, with just a few members. At BIGGLES, we "built on" (please excuse the pun!) the previous year's Stafford theme, and Telford was the SIG's first outing. Some models were the same, but about a third was "new"....more new stuff will appear next year, but most of the older stuff will remain....it'll show the wide spread of Biggles stuff. BUT...it will be displayed differently. I've already decided on that.

[PR19_Kit]

....and sometimes people expect some models to be there anyway, if they are notorious enough of course. 

We've had people at the Whiff SIG stand ask why the PR19 isn't there before now. I just bring it to every show by default these days.

[philp]

Gotcha.  Some builds get expected and I can see why.  Also understand the building on a theme.  And the low tended SIG also.  All makes sense.
Thanks guys.

My real world IAe 37 Planeador, (the Argie Delta Glider) veteran of the PHX show, snuck in there...  Cool.   

Well, I did say that I was not sure if they were all WhIfs
Mind you it was realy the last photo, the two turreted armoured German rail wagon that I was thinking about.
My defence rests

Crackin' set of pics there Jim!
That swept wing all jet B-36 is an RW though, it's the YB-60, Convair's competition for the B-52.

OOPS! Just had that shot in the wrong folder for uploading.

The splinter camouflaged fighter in your third photo is Ken Duffey's real world Sukhoi T-50/PAK-FA (from Resin Shop via Neomega).

I have not yet seen a photo of this in camouflage yet, only primer. I have seen the Su-?? in that scheme and thought this might be a speculative WhIf.
I also saw the kit on the Neomega stand, then saw the price tag. I will wait for the Zveda (spelling?) injection kit that I have been told is on it's way.

I'm doing the same thing Jim, waiting for the Zvezda boxing. Mind you the resin kit is simply gorgeous with some wonderful castings
