Pack 5 Pack 5 consisted of mainly planking. I am not showing these steps as it's same 'ol routine. The anchors and some of the deck fittings were completed. On to the next pack. Mark mwstratton attached the following image(s): Currently: Soliel Royal, Deag DC-3, DeAg Ford Shelby Mustang GT 500

Pack 7 This issue finds the planking completed. Now for the filling and sanding, my personal favorite.  mwstratton attached the following image(s): Currently: Soliel Royal, Deag DC-3, DeAg Ford Shelby Mustang GT 500

I failed to mention back in the pack 5 post. I scrapped the brass bands for the anchor stocks and replaced them with 5 wrappings of 26 gauge gold wire (jewelry grade). I found the original brass strips brittle and too short. The wire was very easy to work with and I think looks better.
