Formation produces some of the best quality products I have ever worked on. Rob is superb. Have a question, fire it to him and he will go out of his way to assist you. Top notch. DJ

Have you considered ordering direct from Formations, with the strength of the Euro against the dollar it's not that expensive.

1) Slobbering is for SGF's, Slobbering German Freaks. WE are Shermaholics! 2) Rob Ervin is the best vendor in the industry and I don't say that lightly - I've done business with almost all of them. He's also the nicest guy you could hope to meet! 3) Pat's right - with the exchange rate, it will probably "pay" for the shipping!

More nice stuff from Rob. Great products and absolutely the best guy to deal with. The direct vision hull in particular interests me.

Agreed Agreed. I don't agree.Writing just as a satisfied customer I have to say not that expensive if you can order direct with the exchange rate the way it is. That way you avoid the inevitable mark up from the middle men. Agreed

I have been buying for Formations for just over a year. All the products I purchased are absolutely top-notch quality.Some items may take abit longer to get if they need to be made up,but still reasonable wait times. Prices are quite good it comparision to other resin producers. If you need Sherman parts,Formations has a huge selection to boot!
