Welcome to Navwar's web site. - Last updated 26 January 2012

Navwar was started in the early 1970's to provide affordable ship models for wargamers, in scales that were appropriate to wargamers rather than modellers. For most periods this meant a scale of 1/3000 which allowed large scale actions in a reasonable area. In the case of earlier periods, where range is not so important, a scale of 1/1200 scale was chosen, although we now make many sailing ships in both scales. Later, we introduced our Naismith range of true 15mm figures, and subsequently our range of Roundway 'Large' 15mm figures. Some 37 years on, we continue to produce models specifically for wargamers with the same aim of affordability in appropriate scales, and as regular visitors to our premises in Seven Kings will know, we actually stock the items we advertise, and in most cases manufacture them on the premises. (For much of this time we also manufactured the Heroics and Ros range of 1/300 tanks, figures and aircraft, but this business was sold in 2009 to Andy Kirk who now trades under the name of HEROICS AND ROS, and whose web site is www.heroicsandros.co.uk, and whose fax number is, 0208 890 6265).

Our restricted opening hours at the shop are designed to ensure prompt dispatch of mail orders. Until April 2006, we only sold by paper catalogue or by personal visit, but several of our overseas customers asked for information to be made available on the web and this site is our response. Please note that we accept orders by post or fax, but we have no e-mail facilities and regret we are unable to take telephone orders. When placing an order, by Mail or Fax, please remember to include your full address.

Personal visitors are always welcome at our shop in Seven Kings, East London on Saturday afternoons between 12.30 p.m. and 4.00 p.m. when our phone line is open for any queries. Our Winter 2011 Catalogue is available, either as a paper copy, price £1.00, or as a pdf download (free).
