A picture or two of the state of my build of this paddle river boat. I have been at this for four months and am now bald and hate superglue with a passion!
A complex kit and a surprise Xmas present. A lot of repeditive sawing of stripwood, planking decking and other never- ending tasks. Still, we are getting there. I am nearing the end of the journey, and she DOES look impressive.

More pictures to come.

Nice work! I am about to put in the vertical supports on the second deck on mine. Did you need to angle those? I am thinking it is possibly sanding the top and bottom of each one to fit?
 
Yes. Plenty of good PVA glue, a good sanding block and a lot of patience. The glue is a good gap filler and let's you fiddle.

Piccies of your build?
