Description

A tower that rolls up to the castle

In the Middle Ages siege towers were pushed against enemy walls to put fighters onto the battlements. This set takes up the idea and turns it into a model you can play with. At 216 pieces it stays small and handy, yet it brings four minifigures that can serve as attackers or crew. The tower fits especially well beside a castle from the same line, so that attack and defence can take place on the same shelf. As a single piece it also looks good on a desk.

Dark tones with a wooden look

Black and light grey shape the set, with brown and white completing the picture. Brown parts recall timber, grey ones stone and iron. That makes the tower look sturdy and medieval without being too fussy. The colours match the other knightly castles of the Eighties, so the Siege Tower can be placed in a bigger scene without any clash of style. If you own several castles, it gives you a weapon for every side of the conflict. The dark tones also show off pale figures and flags nicely.

Forty-nine types in a small model

Of the 216 pieces, 49 are different types. That is a solid mix of basic elements and a few special parts for wheels, ladders and accessories. The build goes briskly yet offers enough variety. The complete parts list is further down this page. It helps when comparing a second-hand set with what should be in the box, or when replacing individual parts that have gone missing over the years. Ladders and small accessories are usually the first things to disappear.

For play and for rebuilding

With its four figures the tower is well suited to acting out sieges, but it is also a neat little collectable. If you already have the pieces, the “What can I build?” tool on this page shows which other models you could assemble from them. The grey and black bricks are versatile and also suit walls, gates and other parts of a fortress. With a little imagination the tower can also become a watchtower or a market stall.
