MAKE THIS CASTLE (Cut-out Model)

I like to spend time with the children on craft and other other projects, just to give them some alternative to digital experiences. For our children aged 6 and 9 these Usborne paper castles are a little too hard to build on their own. But with some assistance of me we get quite some way. Moreover the youngest is quite interested in knights and castles was quite willing to assist . The end rests was very pleasing and there is an educational angle to it as well. But what i was missing was plastic toy knight like i used to have when I was much younger. So I ordered a box of 1/72 scale Teutonic knights that fit reasonably well with the castle and can stand on the walls. This massively enhanced the play value. The only problem is the size and scale - what do you do with the creation when it is finished.. ? The set is reasonably easy to put together . Though tit requires much cutting and gluing, it will cost you quite a few sessions. I would recommend a small pair of scissors, sturdy glue that can be applied in a precise manner a metal ruler and a craft knife. We used some small magnetic cubes (available on Amazon) to hold parts together while drying. All in all very pleased. Might try to find some more of these Usborne paper models, the cathedral perhaps. ..

Making this model with my 11 year-old son was great fun and provided an excellent opportunity for teaching him the importance of accuracy and care when using a craft knife and glue. All in all a really fun and involving creative task, resulting in an impressive model castle and representing outstanding value.

Bought this castle for a homework project for our daughter. Looks good when completed but you’ll need plenty of time and patience. Some bits of it are very fiddly and an extra pair of hands are definitely needed

This was rather disappointing for my 7 year old grandson. It was far too difficult to do and therefore, even with help, it did not hold his attention,

the instructions can be more user friendly, but the finished product was fantastic, had a lot of ufn putting together with the kids

I got this item to make a start on environment miniatures for my home D&D game and I can say that I am very happy with what I got here. I can kit out a small town for such a cheap price compared to the hundreds it would cost me to get plastic miniatures buildings. I think I will be repeating here in the future.

As described- matches description

Was brilliant and looked wicked once up good few hours but worth it
