This is a "kit". Build as many pieces as you want. Build
different pieces. Let your child assemble as they like. I built
it for my son Theo's third birthday.
Notes:
- Made from 3/8" Baltic Birch Plywood.
- Finished with Tried and True original finish from Lee Valley.
(Basically just Boiled Linseed Oil mixed with beeswax.)
This gives it a slight amber cast, which warms up the pale BB,
but still leaves a natural look. It
also won't show scratches the way a painted wall would.
- It was sized to go with 3" tall knight figures from playmobil.
(I bought mine from mastermind toys here in
Canada.
- The towers are designed to go together:
The small tower can stack on top of the large
tower. Also, the small tower will fit inside the large
tower, for storage.
