Imperial Yacht Standart, Pack 6, Stages 47-57.
Stage 47
Stage 47 contents:- Central structure fret and skylight fret.
Take the central structure fret and mark the centre panel 'A' then the two parts next to the centre part 'B' then the two outer parts 'C'. Remove the parts from the fret sand the edges smooth. Then glue 'B' part to the long side of part 'A' making sure the port hole is in the correct position followed by part 'C'. Add the two remaining sides and allow to dry.
When dry test fit the part onto the central part of the ships deck.
Take the hatch you assembled in stage 40 and add the 1 x 3mm strips like you did to the other hatch then sand it smooth. Prepare the etch fret in the same way you did the others using burnishing fluid. Bend the etch fret to fit the hatch then glue it in place.
Stage complete.

Stage 48
Stage 48 contents:- Wooden strips.
Take a wooden strip and fix it so it is halfway across frames 8 to frame 10. Take another strip and fix it from frame 6 to frame 9 then follow this with another strip from frame 9 to 12. You will be creating more wedge shape gaps that will be filled in later. Repeat the above on the other side of the hull.
Add another strip to frame 5 to frame 8 then another above it from frame 7 to frame 4 then add another strip from frame 8 to 9. Add more strips from frame 7 to 8 the to frames 8 to 11 then another strip from frame 8 forward to frame 5 adjusting the strips to fit if needed. Repeat the above on the other side of the ship.

Stage 49 contents:- Stern reinforcement and a ventilator.
Take the stern reinforcement fret and remove the parts. If you have not already done so sand back the planking flush with the last frame then stick the reinforcements starting with 1 building them up until you have a stack of five and leave to dry.
At the bow using 2 x 5 x 250mm strips fill in the gap forward of the bulwark. Then use strips to go round the front of the bow.

Remove the next set of stern reinforcements and fit them in the same way you fitted the last ones.
Take the two Boiler rooms you have already made and then cut two pieces from the mesh measuring 42 x 81mm. Glue the two pieces of mesh just cut to the top of the boiler rooms and leave to dry. When the glue is dry paint the two boiler rooms brown.
Next at the bow start to fill in any gaps in the planking with strips and wedges cut and sanded to shape . Work your way back to the mid section of the hull.

Stage 51 contents:- Ladder etch fret and a Ventilator.
Take the two boiler rooms from the last stage cut any net from the central holes and then paint the top of each black. When dry glue the boiler room etch skylights to the openings on either side making sure the rounded corners should face outwards.
Next cut several 15 lengths from a 2 x 5 x 250 strip and glue them around the top of the stern making sure they are against the deck as you go round. When the glue is dry cut off any excess and then sand the strips so they are level with the bulwarks.
If you have not already done so start to in fill any gaps in the hull centre section planking.

Stage 53
Stage 53 contents:- Funnel fret, etch fret and a vent.
Remove the parts from the funnel fret and sand them smooth. Assemble the parts by adding the thinner pieces along the centre of the large piece making sure each one is at a right angle to the large piece.
Next remove two shoulder pads from the etch fret and glue them to the two guns already assembled.
At the bow sand the bulwark strips flush with the bow deck then sand the stern bulwarks smooth and fill any gaps that may show on the inner bulwark surfaces. Clean any dust created from the deck then seal the deck with a clear coat of your choice.
Protect the edge of the deck by applying masking tape along the bulwarks then paint the bow and stern bulwarks matt black leaving the mid section painted white.
From the etch fret provided with this stage remove the stern deck and remove any burrs with a file you can paint the deck wood brown or clear coat it , then glue it in place at the stern raised deck.

Stage 54
Stage 54 contents:- funnel fret 2, ladder fret and cannon.
Remove the funnel parts from the fret and sand them smooth. Now take the 'A' and 'B' parts and glue the 'A' parts to each end of the funnel then the two 'B' parts into the slots in the funnel centre. Next take the two 'C' parts and glue them to the flat end of the funnel assembly making sure they are slightly offset so the stay in line with the funnel sides.
Test fit the funnel by inserting the tabs into the two holes in the boiler room roof.
Prepare and paint the cannon provided with this stage and then add a shoulder pad in the same way you fitted the others.
At this stage if you have somewhere to store the ladders without damaging them make them up and store them safely until needed. I will assemble and add the ladders when they are fitted to the ship.

Stage 55
Stage 55 contents:- Wooden strips, etch ladder fret and davits.
Make up the etch ladders or store them until you are ready to fit them.
Next remove the tabs along the bottom of the false keel.
Now sand the hull flat making sure the bow planks are flush with the false keel and its about 1mm wide. At the stern post sand the planks back to leave it 4mm wide. Make sure the upper bulwarks are smooth.
Take some 2 x 5 x 250 strip and glue it along the top of the false keel from the bow to the stern. At the bow shape the strip to blend in with the false keel and do the same at the stern. Glue another piece of strip to the stern post and sand it and the other strips just fitted to blend in with the false keel/planks.

Stage 56
Stage 56 contents:- Wooden strips and etch skylights.
If you already have not already done so use filler to fill any gaps in the hull and sand it smooth.
Next take one of the 0.6 x 7 x 250 strips and glue it to the bow the top of the strip should be inline with the lower edge of the upper bulwarks and the strip end should be positioned between the tenth and eleventh portholes. Continue the row aft and curve the strip up to match the curve of the stern.
Begin a second row of strips below the one just laid starting with a half strip and again working backwards to the stern make sure to mark where the portholes are as you lay the strips. Start the third row of strips with a half plank keeping the strip joints in line with the ones above it. Once that is complete start row 4 and take it back to the stern. Trim the ends of the four strips laid at the stern so they half cover the false keel. Lay a fifth row of strips but do not add the last strip to the stern.
Cut the strips to match the curve of the bow and then repeat the above on the other side of the hull. When the five strips are laid use small pieces of strip to fill in the gaps at the stern and trim any excess from the bow.

Stage 57 contents:- Hatches and vents.
Continue adding the 6th row noting that it will curve down to the forth row and leave a wedge shaped gap at the stern. Add the seventh row this should go all the way to the stern post. Fill any gaps you have created with strip and then repeat on the other side of the hull.
Take the hatches and file them smooth undercoat them and then paint them brown. From the fret supplied in the last stage remove the skylights and prepare them like you did the other skylights then glue them to the hatches.
