Samurai Castle

Samurai Castle

A truly massive 5-level castle building from old Japan. This gigantic building is covered in authentic details - interiors are lovingly detailed with tatami mats, wooden flooring, sliding screen doors, and each level is removable for gaming inside. Exterior walls feature wood grain planking and textured surfaces, and the roofing has authentic tiling and ornamental dragonfish on top! It can be used with or without the optional stone base section.

Two options for the front entrance are included - a ground level door, and an underground entrance for use with the 360x360mm base section. There is also an optional small roof which can be fitted over the underground entrance. When used with the 75mm tall base sections, this castle stretches up 460mm (!) above your battlefield.

Although this castle is not modelled after just one Japanese building, it features some great elements of world-famous castles - the overall shape and top floor roof is based on Osaka Castle's proportions, the 5th level is based on Hiroshima Castle's unique balcony and woodwork, and the wooden exterior walls are based on Kumamoto's striking design.
