Making progress: With the railings and rigging added, the upper works forward are done and ready to be mated to the main deck.

Upper works aft are almost done - a few more evenings. The hull and main deck just need a few details.

There is a model exhibit next week at the EAA Museum in Oshkosh. I want to take this beast, even if she's not complete. But I want to get her as close to complete as I can. I started this project on June 30 last year. It's exciting to see her nearly sea-ready!

I have added few extra details; it's been mostly a "shake-the-box" build. But she's been a great project --my first capital ship -- and I have high praise for GPM and the kit's designer. The one important thing lacking from the kit is a rigging diagram. I've had to go to other technical sources to sort that out.
