Navy Board Models

Now that we have had some time to get things up and running here at Navy Board Models its time for a little upgrading. So, over the next few weeks don't be surprised if you arrive at the site and do not see what you are expecting in terms of how the site looks. I will be implementing a new theme (appearance) and it will require some minor tweaking to make things work just right. So please bear with me while I make the appropriate changes.

There has been a number of requests made at our Model Ship Builder website wondering if we were ever going to be able to make the Bulkhead kit available for the Matthew Build. If you have been following the Matthew Forum there you will remember that we needed to get 20 orders for bulkhead
kits before it was really viable.

We've had quite a few new members join the site (both here at NBM and at MSB) since we originally visited this idea so it was suggested that perhaps we put out the offer again to see if we could obtain enough people interested to warrant placing an order.

The offer is simple. The cost of a bulkhead kit is $26.00 + shipping (but only if we can get 20 orders). The Bulkhead kit is at 1/4"=1' scale.

So, if you would like to reserve a kit, please go to the Matthew Forum at the Model Ship Builder site and let us know. Be sure to only add your name to the list if you are serious about purchasing a set.

At present we are almost half way there with 9 orders. If you want to see what's in the bulkhead kit, go to the Matthew Project page. There is a link there to the kit page.

Look forward to seeing you in the forums.

Some time between September 1st and September 15th of this year, we will be starting a new project for a highly detailed scratch-built POF model of the original Bluenose schooner on 1:48 scale.  The practicum will guide the modeler through
each step of the build, from laying the keel to putting the final touchbes on a fully rigged model, including making your own sails.

If you are interested in this project, you will be required to purchase a set of the plans developed by Mr. Philip Eisnor, as this entire project is based on them.

Normally, these plans are $85.00CAD + shipping/handling to purchase.  Winston however has been able to make
arrangements  to make them available to members of the NBM site who wish to participate in the build for $60.00CAD + shipping/handling, but only for a limited time.

To be able to take advantage of this discount "DO NOT" order them through the Bluenose Plans order page here at the site.  Go to the Bluenose Forum area (only visible to site members) to learn more about how to order your set of plans.

The project will not require any special skills or tools.  Everything you need to know will be presented in step-by-step fashion, and any questions or problems you may encounter will be fully addressed during
the course of the practicum.
