Hello Witchcraft What a coincidence about the name "Joanna" in the link you posted and thank you for that. My friend Sam in the USA suggested it to use it on my ship as my name is Jolene Jo for short and the person I work for her middle name is Anna he put the two together and got Jo-Anna. Sorry I have not posted anything lately as I have been rather ill but getting a wee bit better now. Jo.

Hello Harbourmaster I sent Peter about 4 PM's way before Christmas but he never replied to any of them. If anyone knows how he is can you let me know as I am worried about him. Jo.

Hello Witchcraft Thank you so much for sending me a photo of your build and the links. May I say your build looks fantastic, I do hope mine will look like yours when she is finished. What a coincidence that in one link she is called Johanna, a very good friend of mine on this forum (Sam) suggested I call her Jo-Anna as people call me Jo and the person I work for her name is Anna, so we decided to calling her "Jo-Anna". Again thank you a million for your lovely photo and the links. Thank you all for your likes it is very much appreciated. Jo.

Hello Keith Very nice planking; wonderful workmanship you are doing. You say you don't like planking twice, can I say I do like planking twice as I made lots of mistakes on my IL Leudo hull and I could correct it, my Billings Yawl has only one layer of planking and I have to say if I had to varnish it would have looked very bad so I was pleased it had to be painted haha. Keep up the good work my friend. Jo.

Hi all Well I have sprayed the black on the upper part of the hull, I think I got a wee bit carried away with myself. I was only going to do two mist coats and two full coats like the videos say, I did do that but then I thought another coat will not hurt, then another and another, I must have been enjoying myself haha. Anyway I removed the tape and you would never guess, good old Jo has black go under the tape, are well you cannot win them all. Happy days Jo.

Hello Steven and Yves Thank you both for your comments and support it is very much appreciated. I think the most exciting part is when you take the tape off and see how all the hard work you have done turns out. After I have done my work I will see if I have time to do the black part. Thank you all for the likes. Jo.

Hello shipmates Just a wee update, I know I am jumping ahead of myself but I could not wait to do the white bits on the side of the hull. So I have done them and also the inside of the planks above the deck. I used some Tamiya tape and brown masking paper; I sprayed 3 light coats of Tamiya white first, I then left it for 5 minutes then applied two more coats, I was going to leave it at that but I had some paint left over so I gave it two more coats. Left it for about one hour and removed the masking paper and tape, I was a wee bit mad at myself as some paint has gone under the tape at the bow, but I can touch this bit up. Next is the black. Happy days. Jo.

Hello Keith I have decided not to apply two more coats of Dull Red on the hull. I cannot see any wood grain on the planks, my biggest worry is that I have not gone up the hull with the Dull Red for the water line. I will see when I mark it out ready for the black above the water line. Thank you for you support. Jo.

About the NRG
If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.
The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.
The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
