I think I would go for the least impact solution. Leave as it is and I would smuggle with iron of the hinges just as if it were how it should be.

Wauw, just realise its been 2 months since an update. Now I also have been busy building other projects and some holidays. But some progress was made, so here he goes. I finished the deck planking and did some roping as later on I would not reach the knights head anymore. During the clamping of the inner planking a clamp spri=ung off. I was uncarefull in placing it so I had to repair the parts carefully. I used sanded dust and diluted glue as I did not want to replace the parts. I was quite succefull i think. Then I also decided to add the kitchen chimney. A wooden block was made to shape. Then 0.4 copper was used to build it and a edge of 1mm copper to complete the image.

Jim, she used and older email and it came through. Very strange why the h.oosterwaal@... does not work from your end, it does work for this forum's notifications?? Anyway, I was stupid and had my sliding table fell to the floor. Its bent now. Tried to remedy but alass. So decided to purchase a new one and use parts of the old one for some of my jigs. Sorry for all the trouble and thanks. Hans.

Andre, I am building the 7 provincien and have (had) the same problems with the angle of the platforms (de mars). A lot of models show them quite angled whereas sometimes you see them horizontally. Angled is said te be for the fact that (mostly sweet rain) water will run down and away. But I also mounted them horizontally, which seems more logical and fitting to me. water will run away anyway with the platforms being rather open en the ship probably always rocking due to waves. further a very nice build. Rgds Hans

Nearly another month, time for an update. As I was working on the bowsprit I decided to finish all mast and all parts of the masts. Highest point reached!! Time for a beer Experimenting with rope, as it is nearing time to fix some rope. As I cannot reach that anymore after closing the deck. 1mm drill bit

As the new moth approaches time for another update. The first part of the deck, all between the strakes, had been finished, still dry fit. And I will keep it dry fit for some time as to keep acces to the orlop. I did some parts on the main deck, like the kolderstok. Also the Rusts for the putting irons were made And next was the bowmast. I still needed to make the bottom fitting square and making a holder for it. During this I found the mast not properly alinged and thatw as adjusted. Final and correct aligment now. Creating some other parts on the deck.

David, sorry for asking but shouldn't the stairs and pillars stand on the deck? They seem somewhat elevated now.

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.
