  • What would YOU like to see on the SEAWINGS website?
    The SEAWINGS flying boat archive, from which the main site up-dates are sourced, is vast and not everything can be up-loaded at once. So, if you are looking for any particular information, SEAWINGS may just have it in the archive and can up-load it during the next suitable up-date.

  • Solid Wood Carved Models
    This sub-forum is for the dedicated solid wood modelers: this is the traditional 'older' method that existed prior to the plastic kit genre. Solid wood carving methods date back to World War One and in the hands of a skilled craftsman a superb model can result. It is the ultimate scratchbuild.
