Question about medival doors

[Lord Admiral Helden Ravensdorn]

As can be observed in this image, where the double medival doors meet up they meet up perfectly. No overlap, no gaps, no nothing.

So here is my question: How does one get those doors to do that? I am attempting to install doors like this on MY Armada Flagship, but am incapable of getting them to meet up. The doors are about 2 and a half nubs wide, whereas they need to be 3 nubs wide to meet up. I have tried everything I can think of to get them to work, but nomatter what, they either have an overlap or a 1-nub wide gap (the 1 nub actually being taken out of half of 2 nubs)

Can anyone tell me what the trick is to getting these doors to line up? As I recall, I have NEVER been able to get them to work.

Thank you,

- Helden

A common mistake, the 'holders' which attach the door must face out (perpendicularly to the door), as seen in these instructions. Hope that helps.

God Bless,

I used to have the same problem when I was young. It works perfect if the hinges face out. THat is how god intended it to be.... and by God I mean TLG.

[Governor Broadside]

My problem is that some of my doors have a tiny gap of a fraction of an inch/millimeter when built correctly and the bricks with the door holders are straight. |-/

[Lord Admiral Helden Ravensdorn]

Wow! Works like a charm!

*goes back to messing up the quarterdeck*

[Scouty]

Yeah, it's kinda a great piece the door set up because you can put it either way. Especially when there are different types and sizes of doors. It's nice how they fit so well together! Good job lego *y* !

I had this problem once but it didn't last very long because I just rotate the holders until the problem went away.

But my question to Lord Admiral Helden Ravensburg is: Why do you want doors on the Armada Flagship?

[Lord Admiral Helden Ravensdorn]

Because I have always regarded that big opening under the quarterdeck as one of the sets major flaws. Since the space is too small to do anything with, I am simply walling it off with a door so that it LOOKS like theres a cabin back there.

[Mister Phes]

But you're not actually going to put a cabin back there, just merely allude to it?

In that case then you probably should be using green doors like in Armada Sentry to create some kind of sub-theme colour consistency.

How goes the moc Admiral?

I was looking at the picture again and I noticed, on the left side door, is that blue tape or is that a lego piece? Because the bottom "Hinge connector thingy" looks too low for that blue piece to be.

[Mister Phes]

Can we get a picture or which you speak (errr write) Mr ImperialScouts? Or is the image too big to post in the thread?

[Governor Broadside]

I think this is what he's talking about. Correct me if I'm wrong.

If you ask me, I think the other blue parts around it could be slightly discolo(u)red, making the other one stand out more.

[Mister Phes]

Hmmmmm... Yes I see. Good work Governor Broadside!

Come to think of it doors that low wouldn't be able to open because the studs would get it the way. Not that the doors need to open in this particular MOC.

X-O Sacrelege! Shocking funny and true sacrelege!

Hmmmmm... Yes I see. Good work Governor Broadside!

Well done, Watson! X-D I love threads like this where people work together to help someone out. It truly warms my heart...and my aorta.

Yes, the pirate forum will improve your entire cardiovascular system if you spend enough time participating in it! X-D

The doors are designed so that they slide freely over the studs, and it looks to me they are high enough in this creation, but I can't really tell.

..and I've been wasting my time at the gym!

Egad! You're absolutely right Sir Dillion! I just went and tested this on a pair of doors to confirm.

[Scouty]

Aren't these doors lovely? You could use them door holders sticking in, but I think only if you us a 1x2 plate with one stud in the middle?

Nope. I just tried it out, I guess the hinges need to be facing out.

[Lord Admiral Helden Ravensdorn]

Aye, i'd use green doors, but sadly, I havnt gots any of them :/

There is no where near enough space back there to put a proper cabin, so yes, its for looks only - that giant open space is, IMHO, one of the biggest flaws in the stock set.

Admiral, you've yet to tell us about the blue thing there Governor Broadside is pointing at, is that tape? Because the hinge part looks low compared to that blue thing/brick...

[oo7]

Well since it is not Heldon's picture I doubt he knows. It looks like tape to me. 8-|
