Summary
There are over ninety pieces to cut out and assemble to make this superb model of a 14th century castle. Surrounded by a moat with a drawbridge which goes up and down, the scene is crammed with accurate historical detail. The carefully designed model provides hours of model-making fun and there are around forty groups of figures and props to bring the finished castle to life, including knights and ladies and servants going about their everyday tasks. The base of the finished model measures 460 x 590mm (18 x 23in) and the castle is approximately 220mm (8in) high.
