...we always have someone on 'answering stupid questions' duty. 

There are no stupid questions.
Only stupid people asking them.

Depends if I'm on my second bottle (sometimes box) or not 

No, we are quite good at answering, and prompting questions. If we see someone taking more than just a glance one of us is guaranteed to jump up and ask them if we can help 

[Steel Penguin]

gents, the "how can we help" attitude is one of the things I like with the stand at all the shows,  weather were telling the truth of the build, or the story of the idea, people are engaged.
Its something all of the gang who are the face of the Sig at shows should be justly proud of.

I think the big difference between our stands and others is that we enjoy it, almost by definition. The more 'serious' modellers tend to get far too deep into their subjects to really enjoy it all sometimes.

I like saying

"You look confused, can I help?"

such a wonderfully loaded question      
and then they walk away with a wonderful smile and saying things like " well if I paint that......"

I man the Model Car Club stand at Expo and while I can usually answer questions on "proper" model cars am completely at a loss when it comes to the 1/18 die casts the majority of the members like to clutter the table with.

Absolutely. The number of people who smile at you as though you are slightly loony, then wander away muttering "I do have that 1/72 whatever in the stash and it would look good as a ...."

We're not slightly loony at all, we're TOTALLY loony!

further progress on the tank  .  managed to get some grey on it    im sat with my Chieftain berlin paint scheme from the Tankograd book on the Berlin brigade, and trying to ratio everything by eye.  As long as it give the right impression ill be happy.

Challengers look good in the BB camo.
Wonder what a Pz iV would look like done in it?

[Steel Penguin]

Zenrat:  weirdly like the FV432-30 I think, they are around the same dimensions physically,   front / gun unit would depend on if your using and early model with the short gun, or the latter models with the longer gun.  but not really my thing, as im not one for German tanks.

[zenrat]

Short gun.  I have an inexplicable attraction to early Pz IVs.  No idea why.
I do have a 1/35 Dragon in the stash and no current plans...

[Steel Penguin]

    go for it then,  its a slightly odd style to have to paint, I will say.  but its not that hard, just a bit demanding in the thinking where things go bit.

Always liked Pz.III's personally, just a nice, attractive looking tanks. Will always remember building one from an Airfix Stug.III and Panther as in a Chris Ellis build in the old Airfix Mag.
