Looks great you really took your time and it shows! I'm just finishing my scratch built 5' Fitz but it's a working RC with smoke :) seeing pics like this is a great inspiration since I'm ice bound for a while now lol

SS Edmund Fitzgerald by: Petter
Nice model indeed.
The SS Edmund Fitzgerald was a large freighter carrying iron ore on Lake Superior. She was the largest ship on the Great Lakes at the time - 26,000 DWT & 729ft long.
She got caught up in a bad storm and sank with all hands in November 1975. The tragedy made headlines in the US at the time.
I was just a kid at the time and didn't learn about her until I moved to the US as an adult.
There are many theories of the cause of her sinking, but none conclusive.

Large boat by: Gilbert
That is some boat! I am assuming it is a cargo vessel by the hatch covers. You have put a lot of hours in to that one. Did you build from a plan or is it your own design? A very neat build witch ever way. Have you had her in the water yet? I would love to see pictures of it in the water. Great work.
