Wonder if anything new is happenning with Figarti.....Anything in the pipeline???.....Have not heard any news lately^&confuse
 
Sure we will see something in Chicago. I will post photos.

Even tho due to my past problems with Figarti products you can't give me one. One of the best, if not the very best part of OTSN was the Friday Figarti luncheon where Rick
would unveil his latest "schock & awe" item, along with many more new products. Now that made this show worth the trip. I always tried to figure out how I could justify spending the $1800 or so on these high ticket items. I finally did, the e-boat, and I got royally burned!

What's with these negative vibes Gary? Sounds like you're not enjoying the hobby too much anymore.
 
Not at all Brad, but when you had the problems I had, the frustrations, and the money I lost as a result of their product, I,m sorry I can,t get that bad taste out of my mouth. Nothing at all against Rick as he is as top notch as can be. For years I did not post anything negative about Figarti even tho the problems continued. I respected and liked Rick that much. But the severe paint flaking on the eboat was the straw that broke the camels back in regards to Figarti.

Over all and in general my experience with Figarti products has been very good....Yes on some early prior AFV's I have had some flaking paint issues but lately things have been much better except for the "silver weathering":rolleyes2:..on some of their WWII airplanes. The WWII Tigers recently released were very well done and at a good price.....I am still hopeful that Rick will release a camo KING TIGER TANK....If they do it like the earlier Winter Tiger with the kill rings I will definitely buy it. :smile2:....It should go vrey well with the FL Fallschrimjagers.

Gary do you still have the E-Boat ?
 
One of these please.

Stab./s.H.Pz.Abt. 505, 3./s.H.Pz.Abt. 505 number 321 commanded by Lt. Erwin Volker in the area of Gross Blumenau, Germany in April of 1945.

Wayne, That's the way I would like a "King Tiger" to look as well:salute:::salute::....It is do-able if someone will just step up to the task.{sm4}.....A 1:30th scale Figarti King Tiger done to a high level of detail like that would sell out in a flash.
 
A 505th Heer King Tiger or a Bulge King Tiger would be hard to say no too. Hell, I'd buy both.
 
Nice Konigstiger but, I did a K&C one so, I would pass on this variant. would buy a Bulge ambush camo though but, if it is to be Russian from Figarti then, lets hope, its a KV I and or a KV II

Yes I too was wondering if you still have your E-boat. Mine is still in good shape. how long did u have yours when it started peeling. The only problem I had with mine was it was damaged in shipping and Rick took care of that right away...Ron
 
Winter King Tiger would be great. I keep telling Rick every year when I see him in Chicago...Ron
 
The highlight of the chicago show each year for me was also the figarti shock and awe. The anzio annie k9 railway gun( which i own one of ) the dday beach landing and the railway scene. Come on, those were awsome.

And then last year we you came into the sunday show and so and heard the b-25s, that was great. I can only hope we see some more of this one day

Mitch; Try a Vs Tank King Tiger and KV-I. The scale matches the current 68 MM figures and the tanks have articulated tracks and operating suspensions. I have a K&C Panzer Kommander in the turret hatch and they look really good. A lot less expensive than polystone and mutch better detail. Plus they are available now! Regards
