Edmond Fitzgerald tragedy 50 year anniversary 11/10/25
michelle replied to FoMoCo66's topic in The Off-Topic Lounge
i would sugest if you want to watch videos on the fitz watch history mystery mans channel he sits down with two former crew members who served aboard the ship earlier seasons and has been doing sit down multi part episodes over coarse of several years with the nephew of one the 29 men who went down with the fitz and what they discuss goes very very deep with the depth of information both into everything from launch to to the sinking and everything in between from the sinking of the carl d bradly in nov of 58 to the ss danial j morrell when sank in nov 1966 and the similarities with how the fitz went down and discuss the shady business of the company's that operated the boats and the years of deffered maintainance on the ships and bribing inspectors to pass the as seaworthy cause it cut into the companies profits as they had the saying every day a ship is in port is more money lost and how they did not care about the safety of the boats crew and would give bonuses to capts who would not sit out storms and penalize capts who put the safety of their ships and crews and wait out the storms in a safe harbour and the stiffest penalty givin was the revoking of the the capts masters license and how when the inquiries on a boats loss the companies would either try to blame the loss on the ships crew or as a act of god just to get the full insurance money the historymysteryman is one great channel for this subject also he does videos on the history certain kinds of auto racing but the bigest drw to his channel is the videos on the fitz with capt darrel walton -

i resin printed the two parts of the hull and used clay to sculpt the lake bed i brush painted the lake bed apple barrel matte khaki i brush paint the hull parts apple barrel matte tuscan red and apple barrel matte white and apple barrel matte black i used a crystal champagne glass to simulate the sound of 29 bell tolls by flicking the side with my finger as i could easily count out the 29 tolls as i flicked it the fitz went down with all 29 crew member on 10 november 1975 at around 7:30 pm est the last radio message to the ss arthur m anderson was we are holding our own going along like a old shoe around 7:20 pm est a within several minutes of that radio transmission they lost sight of the fitz's lights and lost radar contact the ship would be found a few days later and was found to be in two parts on the floor of the lake 530 feet or 161.544 meters bellow the surface there are plenty or theories as to what caused he to sink from hull damage from hitting 6 fathom shoals to the rouge waves known as the 3 sisters to the way the ship was tack welded together and was torn apart due to hogging or sagging all we do know for sure is it happened fast and the bow went down first due to the slide mark it left on the floor and the stern broke and sank upside down while bow section is sitting upright and the center section of the ship was torn into pieces at one point it was believed that both halves were on the canadian side but was then discovered that the bow section sat in us waters and the stern section sat in canadian waters this diorama i made to honour the 29 men lost that november night 50 years ago in 1975 Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald.mp4

I am irked /mad/angry I broke the motherboard on my elegoo Saturn 3 ultra resin printer following the offical elegoo instruction video on how to replace the lcd print screen cause the video failed to mention they glue a couple clip style plugs in and they also do not need to be unplugged as they are for the fans not the print screen and they apparently lie about how long the print screens last before they start dying via dead spots so now I am out 200 dollars I paid for the printer a few months ago in july and the 97 dollars I paid for the new print screen last month which I never even got to install cause that was a later step in the how to video and the warranty does not cover this so yeah now I have to buy another resin printer in December

GENERAL LEE general question
michelle replied to Brutalform's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
depends on which general lee you make earlier seasons had slightly more actual 69 chargers with only a couple 68s converted on the outside to look like a 69 the generals made using 68 chargers only had the grilles and tail light panels replaced and the round 68 side markers removed and filled in so the interiors were still the 68 interiors which the seats have different patterns from the 69 seats and there were quite a few of the 68s used in the later seasons and in the first original cast reunion movie in 1997 the early seasons generals ram bars were tall and not that wide on the horizontal while the late seasons ram bars were not as tall as the early seasons versions but much wider on the horizontal then the earlier seasons versions -
