Well done, Kurt. What you could consider is to slide pieces of cardboard in between the columns and their base, so-called shims, to level the uneven column lengths. These old Leon Schuijt models have their hidden issues. This design must be at least 45 years old.
Last year, just as a break before starting the Bavo church, I started a small water mill from the same publisher and about the same long gone by issue date. The model consisted of perhaps 20 parts or so and I was amazed by all the fitting issues. I never finished it. In any case, don't follow my example - just go on your water gate, you're doing a great job!
