The 1st photo shows the trimmed main deck pieces. The hull will be just over 21" long, not counting the rudders and stage.
The main deck is assembled, top to bottom. I waited until they were together to do the last bit of trimming - around the paddlewheel and pitman holes (2nd photo).
The waterline outline will serve as the bottom of the model, as this will be a waterline model (3rd photo). That will allow use on model railroad layouts, if
desired. Note the small extension at the left end. That helps align with the front of the paddlewheel hole. Waterlining will require cutting the paddlewheel, to remove what's under the water.
