Tabletop terrain - the castle part II: tower

(Deutsche Version) Basically a castle consists of three parts: Walls, turrets and at least one gate. Let's continue with the second part of the castle, i.e. the tower.

At first the plan: The tower has to be connected to the wall on both sides. I defined the area of the tower to 12x12 cm. This means that there has to be 4 cm of wall on each side of the tower.

The tower consists of three 6 cm thick styrofoam plates which are cut to 12x12 cm and then glued on top of each other.

As a next step, the small wall pieces on the side are built. Therefore two blocks of 12x4 cm are cut out of the 6 cm thick styrofoam. As the last step, the platform on top has to be built: A 14x14 cm big plate out of the 1 cm styrofoam has to be equipped with merlons. I used two parts which are 14 cm long and two parts which are 12 cm long to create the merlons as depicted below. Additionally you need merlons for the small wall pieces on the side which are 4 cm wide and fit to the other wall.

Afterwards, you have to paint everything, similar to the instructions in the wall post.
