HUGE ANNOUNCEMENT!
over 3 years ago – Sun, Nov 15, 2020 at 07:32:35 AM

 I have recorded a personal announcement video just for you. Check it out! 

I sincerely wish that everyone is well, even through this year's struggles!

2020 has been an absolutely wild year and I have learned a lot. COVID-19 caused masses of people to move away from the cities in search of a more rural lifestyle. Due to this, the demand for off-grid homesteads has skyrocketed. Earthship homes that have been on the market for years have sold and many more are being built.

As I watched this radical shift towards self-reliance unfold, I wanted to increase the impact that I could have in the world. For years, this project had been the most effective way to share my knowledge and so I strapped on my solo-entrepreneurial boots and started (once again) to run the company from the ground up.

To be totally honest, I struggled. I realized that I have outgrown a platform centered around a product. During self isolation I reconnected deeply with myself and discovered that I’m not here just to sell products. I’m here to CREATE and COLLABORATE.

Right now, the world needs people like me to step up and SHARE.

And so I have become inspired to share my story on a larger stage than ever before.

So I'm making a new channel and here is the trailer! 

You can share it using the link:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tyUw2p63aEA

Let me know what you think! Are there any topics you would love for me to cover? Anyone that you would love for me to interview? 

Wishing you all well,

-Eric Ficinus

International Shipping Update
almost 7 years ago – Tue, Jul 18, 2017 at 07:51:27 PM

Unfortunately, because of an internal error with our shipping partner, international orders (and pre-orders) have been delayed. We have tried to find a solution to these technical difficulties but the customer support has been lackluster and has forced us to find another shipping partner.

We are currently selecting another shipping partner in order to ship these rewards as quickly and effectively as possible. Your continued patience is greatly appreciated!  

Thank you,

The Earthship Model Kit Team

Good Day Everyone!

This past week we journeyed to Taos New Mexico, home of the Greater World Earthship Community and Earthship Visitors Center.

While there, we made a retail display for the unveiling of a new product in the Earthship Visitors Center...

One of my goals, when I started this project, was to get them for sale in the official Earthship store. I truly thank you all who supported this project in helping make that dream come true.

Now, countless individuals, students, parents, children, families, couples, and dreamers will be exposed to this inspirational information! 

Who knows what they will do with it? What you, will do with it? I'm excited to see! 

We are now accepting orders online at: www.earthshipmodelkit.com/shop (shipping to the US only at the moment) We are offering bulk pricing for individuals/teachers interested in educational distribution. Contact us for details.

Thank you!
