Hello everyone! We are pleased to announce, that in addition to our commission system, for those who do not wish to fork out over $200 to have a custom model kit designed, that we now have a new option to get you the kit you want. We are getting into crowdfunding! All it takes is a message to us telling us what kit you want, and in what scale, and we post it. Most 1:350 3D Printed ships are going to be the super low price of $30 per unit. There will be a limited number of units for each idea, and when they're sold out, CAD development work will begin. Once CAD work is complete and approved, everyone will be shipped their model 1 week before it goes on sale to the public for full price.

If a project has less than 50% of units sold after 30 days, the idea is dead, and everyone gets their money back. If a project has more than 50% of units sold after 30 days, it will be reviewed, and if it meets the right conditions, it will proceed to development.

We currently have one ongoing Crowdfunding project to start off with:

The USS Chicago, as built in 1885. https://outoftheboxmodels.com/collections/crowdfunding-projects/products/crowdfunding-1-350-uss-chicago-protected-cruiser-1885

If you have an idea to nominate for a crowdfunded kit, let us know!

Just FYI to anyone who has ordered a Crowdfunding unit, your shipping has been refunded, and there will be no shipping costs any new orders. Even international.

4 left! Decided to go for 3 Versions of the ship: 1885, 1898, and 1918. This was also Chester Nimitz's first command, if that sweetens the deal for you.

Only 1 unit left. Not only Nimitz, but also Mahan and Hart.

I think everyone is getting antsy, certainly no updates on progress coming as promised. Not even monthly...

I pre-ordered a Midway and sent him an email, the address is on their site, and he replied the next day. He said that he was expecting the Midway to be done in December, which I was fine with. He had previously said the Atlanta and the Midway were being done at the same time but who knows. Didn't order anything else so I didn't ask for the other kits.

So, I am struggling to get detailed drawings in a digital format for all three ships to my engineer. I have been going back and forth with vendors for months now and its taking weeks just get a response. We are making due with some low detail drawings to get the general hull shapes, but progress not moving at the pace I wanted to. Once I can get my engineer, Sam, detailed DIGITAL drawings that he can put into CAD, we can really go full steam into this.

If anyone has them in a digital format, and can save me a lot of time, please let me know.

I just wanted everyone to know this project has been cancelled and all crowdfunds have, as of today, been refunded.
