i based this diorama on the famous were are they? painting of the ss arthur m anderson and ss william clay ford searching for the fitz at 2:00 am est on the morning of 11 november 1975
i resin printed the the two models of the ships and brush painted them i used clay to make the stormy waters and brush painted that also
when the capt of the anderson decided to go back out to search the capt of the ford also joined him they went slowly as they left the safety of white point at around 10 pm est 10 november it took them till 2 am est 11 nov to reach the location were the fitz was last known to be and started a search
this diorama is a tribute to those brave crews of these two boats who risked their own lives going back out into that storm to look for their missing fellow sailors
