@Holger: This could be a project for you. You could leave your island without using the ferry!😉 😄

The Model is 8 foot 8 and a 1/4 inches long, which is 186 scale meters. it weighs about 140 lbs which is accidentally very close to being scale weight of the real ship. I am using various models to augment this project, so its a project in a project. I have a forum post on Resin Illuminate under the military model section that covers this in more detail. It is my aim to turn this into the largest model ship kit in 1/72 scale when I have the project completed, and if not then I will have a nice show piece for my fireplace mantle.
