    Hey Phil,

    Do me a favor and triple check everything you received vs the list of items you were supposed to get listed above. I will send you some crane arms, I just wanna make sure that's all you need before I ship out anything else.

    All I need is 2 boat crane arms. Might I suggest that you print a parts list for each kit order and check off the parts as they are picked for each kit and send it with kit . This should end any double parts and missing parts kits being sent out! do you have business cards? If you can send me an e-mail I will send you pictures of boat on display complete with barrage baloons. I am not going to sheet boat to show people the 3d print features.

    Yep, I'm working on that exact thing. It's difficult as a single person show, my potential helpers know basically nothing about the actual ships or what the kits may or may not contain.

    You can send pictures and such to info@southjerseyshipyards.com

    I don't have business cards.

    SJS Update:

    Whew, its been a while since I did an update on here! For the latest news, check out the discord channel where I'm much more active.

    NATS kicked butt, SJS got a lot of business, which allowed me to expand in a number of key areas:

    We now have solenoid valves.
    We have 5oz tanks that are not yet available.
    Our new XT30 plug and play pre-waterproof gun boards were a huge success and are now on the website

    New hulls are available on the website:

    RMS Empress of Britan (Convoy ocean liner)
    USS Baltimore
    USS Pennsylvania (As-built)
    USS Texas is out of pre-order and now in-stock
    SMS Mackensen is ready provided it passes the rules ballot

    Soon to be arriving on the website:

    Amish Skunkworks sub-page of curated parts provided by @Beaver including lasercut copper bus bar kits and waterjet cut 3/16 7075 belt drive motor mount kits.

    Email me at wtustin@southjerseyshipyards.com for any inquiries.

    Hi all, small update broadcast:

    This past weekend marks the final weekend in a 2 month sprint of life stuff every single moment that I wasn't at work.

    Free time will start to free up and I know I have some orders that have been waiting a little too long that need to go out.

    I appreciate your continued support and understanding, I am scheduling all of this evening to fulfilling some orders and hope to have at least 3 on the porch for UPS pickup tomorrow. Possibly 4.

    We received the deck kits for Mackensen, Texas, and EoB and they are now in-stock and no longer on presale. At this time the SJS kit backlog is looking like right at 4 weeks if an order was placed today, but it could always speed up pending the results of the next week or so of me getting caught up.

    Hi All!

    We've been getting back on track with fulfilling kit orders under our normal 4 week lead time. Right now there are a bunch of kits all waiting on 5mm prop shaft bronze oilite bushings which should be here tomorrow.

    SJS will be releasing 3 new kits before the end of November:

    Nagato (this is a battle-scale hull, with some liberties taken for ease of life in regards to sheeting, etc.)
    South Carolina
    Bellerophon

    If you want a kit under the christmas tree, the deadline to order is November 22nd. If you want to pre-order one of the above 3 unreleased kits for a pre-christmas delivery, please contact me privately via PM or email at wtustin@southjerseyshipyards.com so I can prioritize appropriately.

    Thanks all,
    -WT

    Hello All,

    Combat-Scale Nagato, Bellerophon, and South Carolina are available on the website for pre-sale. These kits are all mostly finished pending final superstructure work, but that won't stop us from starting to produce the hulls themselves which are always the longest print time item. If you order one of these kits with decks, they won't ship out until we get the decks from our laser cutting supplier. HOWEVER, ask us about our new prototype ASA plastic decks and we can include those decks instead!

    The Nagato hull is advertised as "Combat-Scale" because some liberties have been taken, within the allowable deviation in IRCWCC rules, to make the hull easier to sheet and also easier to live with long term. Some smoothing of sharp bulge edges has been done, along with some simplification of casemate deck + bulge interaction. The aircraft crane bulge has also been removed. We plan on releasing a more true-scale hull later on, if the demand exists, but it will be even worse than our Malaya kit when it comes to actually sheeting it.

    Just a reminder, the deadline for Christmas orders is THIS FRIDAY NOVEMBER 22ND!
