Pack 9 - Stage 94 Started out by repeating the previous stage on the starboard side. Next I shaped and smoothed out the round gun ports and made a recess on the rail for another round port 35mm forward of the first one. Finished the stage by test fitting the round ports. This was repeated on the other side of the ship. Mark mwstratton attached the following image(s): Currently: Soliel Royal, Deag DC-3, DeAg Ford Shelby Mustang GT 500

Pack 9 - Stage 97 This was a short and simple stage. The dolphins were fitted to the bow along the top of the beak and the bottom of the prow. 2x4mm molding was glued from the dolphins to the stern 10mm apart and 10mm from the bottom of the gun ports.

Pack 9 - Stage 98 I've fitted the lower gallery deck to the stern of the ship. The gallery deck supports were added. Next the gallery side panels were glued in place. Finally, the gaps between the gallery sides and the sides of the hull at the stern were filled with 2x5mm planks.

One of the large rails was placed forward of the hole. 2 lockers were fabricated and installed on the quarterdeck. A 5 rung ladder was fitted leading to the poop deck. 2 ladders were installed leading to the quarter deck. That's all folks.

Pack 10 - Stage 103 The rail columns were fitted across the forward forecastle rail. I then prepared the forecastle side gunwales to receive the hand rails. I was unable to finish this stage because for some reason, I came up 20 columns and 2 hand rail fittings short. Hopefully customer service can get me some replacements soon. With the exception of the missing parts, this stage and pack is completed. Mark mwstratton attached the following image(s): Currently: Soliel Royal, Deag DC-3, DeAg Ford Shelby Mustang GT 500
