First ever AFV only STGB!

[Sgt.Squarehead]

Come on Sherman builders of Britmodeller, where are you.....The General needs you:  http://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/235006939-sherman-tank-stgb/

 

Is there honestly anyone reading the section of this site that doesn't have at least one Sherman in their stash? 

 

If so, you should be ashamed of yourself, go out and buy one immediately.....It's the tank that won the war in the west after all! 

[Rob G]

Umm... Please sir, I don't have a Sherman in my stash. Don't want one, neither.

 

[Sgt.Squarehead]

Well that's no good, is it? 

 

We need two more names and the GB has a shot of going ahead.....Surely there must be two of you with a Sherman that you are planning on building before 2019! 

[Sgt.Squarehead]

We got it.....Huge thanks to everyone who signed up! 

 

A GB on BM without any wings in it.....Now there's a sight you don't see every day! 

[stevej60]

Count me in!

[Sgt.Squarehead]

Cheers Steve.....I've added you to the list in the GB thread.

That's thirty now, well over the threshold!

I don't have one in my stash because I made mine a few months back, but I did say I will definitely be getting another, so yes, count me in.  ps I'm assuming 'STGB' means 'Single Type Group Build'? IF so, what is the type?

Cheers,

Hi Badder

 

I think it the STGB really stands for Sherman Tank Group Build

 

If it was a Single Type Build it would be pretty mind numbing bit like 25 people building the same Spitfire and counting all the rivets 

 

Or is that what all the wingy thingy people do

It is a single type group build.....Single type GBs allow a fairly broad definition of the 'type', so a Spitfire STGB could allow all Spitfire & Seafire variants plus perhaps the S.6B & Spiteful. 

 

The Sherman was actually properly known as the Medium Tank M4 (et al), a direct development of the Medium Tank M3.....Hunnicutt the recognised authority on the type considers them an evolutionary development of the same basic vehicle and the GB team have accepted that definition.  All variants (SPGs, APCs, AEVs, ARVs etc.) built on either chassis are eligible in just the same way Seafires would be eligible in a Spitfire STGB.

 

HTH

I have to confess that i do not have a Sherman in my stash.i do want one ,but not sure which kit i want.

[Sgt.Squarehead]

If you dive into the GB thread you will get plenty of advice.....I suspect that between us we've got almost every Sherman kit on the market in 1/72, 1/48 & 1/35.
