    Thanks all. Yes, as far as the flag goes, I think a little leeway was given to historical correctness the 20th state as Chris mentioned is most likely the reason. The first stern wheeler was built around 1814 18 states, Mississippi became a state in 1817 20 states, after which the number of states raised quickly so there, we have it. To be honest as this build was mainly as good platform to learn the lighting process, I did not do too much research. So I complexly missed it.

    Completed The Mississippi paddle wheeler. This build was mainly about learning how to wire and use lighting. The build itself was straight forward and fun to do. The real challenge was the lighting, which was new for me. Much trial and error. Hiding & running the wiring required a different kind of planning following the written instructions for a step-by-step build was not possible all the time. The wiring termination points Aft starboard was a real test getting all 14 sets to connect into two 3-volt battery packs. All and all I believe the build came out all right. It was fun and I learned much.

    Working on the 3rd deck, my version of the bar room. If there's two things in the world I know about its the military and saloons. More to follow on this deck.

    Updating the progress, as this is mainly a just for fun build , moving at a simple pace, experimenting with a few things along the way. Not really following the plans. Not a big fan of precast parts so I cover, replace, or toss as needed Have redid the doors & frames and the stage area. Did a makeover of the furniture, felt tops and wood strips attempting to give a used look? more to follow on the figures
