Hello all

 

I re-filled the planks yesterday and I have to say sanding the filler down I was surprised how much I have missed the first time round, or maybe it had shrunk?

 

I will re-prime it tomorrow.

 

Happy days.

 

Jo.

Starting to look very good indeed, Jo.

Hello Steven

 

Thank you so much for that nice comment, also for the likes.

 

I am going to re-prime the hull today.

Hello Shipmates

 

I have done a wee bit more on the ship.

After I did the filling and sanding down again I applied two more coats of brown primer, this was left to dry for a day.

I then sanded the primer down with 400 grit paper, then applied 4 coats of Tamiya Dull Red, I may give it two more coats.

Next job to do is mask the water line and coat the top part with Tamiya Black.

 

 

I don't know what they have done but the photos took forever to load up.

 

Happy days.

 

Jo.

looking nice and smooth- don't worry if some of the planklines show through after top coat and varnish as they do on the real thing- it's more about getting rid of the oversize wood grain effect.

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.

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.

[Louie da fly]

Very attractive Jo. Paint creeping past the tape is always a bugbear - you're certainly not alone. And it shouldn't be all that much trouble to touch up.

Beautiful Hull. Congratulations Shipscat.

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.

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.

Hi,

 

Real nice build!

 

I have question regarding painting. Do you use sparybooth etc?

I have done all my painting with Caldercraft Admiralty paints and with brushes. i see that I could achieve  better quality for some parts if it would be done with spray.

Have been looking for small acrylic spray cans that would fit for the job, but not found any yet - what you use?

I'm so glad I found this thread.  I'm building the same kit and have just got to the standing rigging (see picture).  I'm building it as an English East Coast Scriminger fishing smack based on Pioneerhttp://pioneerck18.org .

 

The hulls and base rig are very similar but running rigging is different (but then again the original boathttps://www.flickr.com/photos/eileensanda/3844507979/in/faves-ibrahimiyaz/ bears little similarity to the model as well). Johanna BTW has a very good and very friendly Facebook page with lots of pictures

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.

Very good looking vessel! I do love to see the planking like the real one, and the terracotta color is also a bullseye.
Will you add sails to her?

Hello my friend no I am thinking of just having the sails folded up, I cannot remember the last time I used a sewing machine ha-ha I think it was on my dad's jeans.

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.

I just found your build log and your boat looks really good. I love these working vessels. I hope you have recovered from your illness and are able to continue to work on this beautiful model.

hi there Jo.......it's been a while since I looked in   you've made some really good progress...the hull came out fabulous!  I read you had your 'tribs' in getting to this point.....two things I've learned with the hobby..........1)  everything depends on the planking....and the thickness of the planking.  filler is your friend......filler and sanding can cure a lot of ills.  some kits supply thin planking,  so this needs to be taken into consideration in sanding the hull.  2)  with paint,  there isn't any oops that can't be touched up.   I love what you did with the hull......it look very complex......this is something that adds interest to the model.  folks will look at it and say WOW!   

 

keep going .......your doing swell!  

[SigEp Ziggy]

I have been out of touch with everyone, I'll work on that.  Looks great Jo!

[SHIPSCAT]

Hello all

Thank you all for your post's, yes I will be back working on my ships very soon.

It is a long story why I have been away with illness and other things like looking after the lady next door so I will leave it at that.
