Recently recieved my replacement of the Sherman Crab, (the first one arrived broken from a dealer who will remain un-named).....Many Thanks to Rick at Figarti and to Matt at the Hobbybunker Figarti's US Distributor for making things right and getting me a re-placement Sherman Crab...It arrived at my home address with no damage(evidently my shipping address is not the problem as was wrongly assumed by a merchant).....Excellent Customer Service....Thank you again Matt and Rick.....A very unique Sherman Tank

Cheers!
Trouble with Figarti Shermans is that they have increased at exactly the same pace as my bank balance has decreased. Had to have the fording Sherman, the Brit desert Sherman and the bulldozing Sherman as well.

If that weren't bad enough, I've got an HB Sherman, 2 K&C Easy 8 Shermans, and K&C Brit Sherman, K&C 'General Inspection' Sherman, 2 Britains Shermans and a smattering of 21stC and FOV Shermans.

I went to the Doc about the problem. He diagnosed something called 'Binder Syndrome'

Well, if I had to pick two Shermans to keep out of that lot, I'd probably go for the Desert Sherman and the General Inspection Sherman.

You do know you're not helping my frail condition don't you?
No, haven't got this one and the Doc says I'm not allowed any actual Shermans. Sherman derivatives are OK, but no pure out and out Shermans.

Pick just 2 Shermans? Ridiculous Shermans were one of the most produced AFVs in WW2, roughly 10% of all AFVs produced. So if you have a collection of 100 AFVs, then 10 should be Shermans or your collection is out of historical balance. And there are so many well known variations like the funnies, it's impossible to have a real WW2 armour collection without at least 10 different Shermans.

This is going to be repeated on a smaller scale with the upcoming releases of more Churchill funnies.

Well I've only got one AFV and that's a Sherman (K&C British Sherman) so does that mean I'm unbalanced?

That in it's own right doesn't, no Jeff.

When combined with everything else we know about you, well, that's a different story.

Rob,

You sure that wasn't due the viewer's 'precarious' state?

At least I can be trusted to remain sober and control some of the undignified behaviour that might go on otherwise.
