A Medieval Siege Tower was a multipurpose machine which could protect and hold men, their weapons and even small siege engines from close-range positions of relative safety. This working model includes a torsion-powered catapult, removable ladders and a drawbridge that raises and lowers. Historically accurate, this kit creates a durable wooden model that can be used for hours of imaginative play. To complete your historical Tower you'll need a pair of scissors and some tape. Follow the simple instructions enclosed and you'll be hurling cannon balls up to 15 feet in no time!
