Hi, all...
After a relax months, I've continued with the Mediator. The things I made are:
- gun ports
- sweep ports
- waterways
- spirketting
In addition, I made the plans for spars an mast. They are virtually the same of the Armed Virgina Sloop of Model Shipways, adapting sizes. I will not to include these plans to public release due to copyright restrictions.

My idea was to make a plank-on-bulkhead ship model. The bulkheads and false keel were designed with Autocad. The drawings of Chapelle needed a lot of correctios because the small size of the drawing in the book, distortions of the paper, etc...
I put the plans in the first post and I will to update them if any change occurs. Please, feel free to use them, if You are interested in this model.
Some points:
- The bulkhead and false keel are designed to have a thickness of 5 mm (5 millimeters).
- Under the tramson, there is a rounded stern. I'v seem models wirh plain (square) stern.

Thanks for your coments!!!
The planking of the hull begins with the wale. The main wale (the lower wale) dominates the position of the planking. I put strakes alternatively up and down, joinning in the center.
In the forum you can find manuals of how to make the planking of the hull. I strongly recommend you to read these manuals, The final look is better than the suggestions of some kits... and the time spent in this process is the same (more or less).
There is a reduction of distances fore an aft. The strakes should be reducted in the joining with the stem and stern. There are several methods (i've used both):
- to reduce the width of the strakes
- to make that a strake ends into another one or in the junction of two strakes.
