The Lumberyard Sponsorship Program
If you are a hobby shop, kit distributor, kit manufacture, a private individual a donation of a kit or service to the program will give a builder the opportunity to build the model as well as the sponsor will benefit from a graphic sponsorship logo which will appear on the bottom of the builders posts as a “sponsored by”. The program is a win, win for everyone as the builder your build is being supported by a sponsor and for the sponsor your getting the exposure and advertising showing the modeling community your willingness to support and advance the hobby.
As for Ships of Scale[1] and the model building community at large the program’s goal is to advance the hobby through better build logs, introduction to skilled individuals and businesses.
Each and every sponsored build is custom designed to meet the needs of the builder. For example a builder selects a project but has no means to draw or laser cut a set of bulkheads someone can step up and say I can do that for you, or a builder needs rough lumber or milled planking again a sponsor can step up and provide it. A sponsor can step up and say you build the hull and I will provide a carved figurehead or fittings or a set of cannons. A project that might never get built is now possible with the help and support of the sponsorship program. This will also give the incentive for builders from beginners to master builders to apply.
Therefore: In order to promote and advance the hobby of model shipbuilding Ships of Scale[1] has created a sponsorship program with cooperation with "The Lumberyard" www.dlumberyard.com ,@Dave Stevens (Lumberyard) to help builders with our products and services for their building project.
The Lumberyard Sponsorship rules, obligations, and qualifications:
It is obvious Ships of Scale[1] (SOS) cannot ask sponsors to support just any builder or select builders at random. We are quite aware of the fact best intensions sometimes go astray as life situations often arise nor can a kit or product be handed out and the builder is never heard from again.
