Gene,

Will the Great Republic sit on a shelf or in some type of shadow box? The half frames look really good.

Mike,

She's being built as a wall hanging -- a 3-D picture.

The hold is pretty much finished. I added beams and knees that would easily be seen, but I did not add every type of carling and knee.

I left a part of the interior planking off so the frames can be viewed.

Deck clamps and the waterway for the deck above the hold have been installed, with the next project being to plank this deck.

She's looking incredible as always Gene!

I really like the second picture in this post. It really gives the feeling that the viewer is right there in scale, looking down the lines of the deck AWESOME!
