Model Description:
The model is a substantial, two-section castle ruin connected by a stone bridge, with the back of the structure open for easy access to the interiors.
Key Features of the Stronghold:
Two-Part Structure: The castle is divided into two main fortress sections, which can be connected by a removable stone bridge.14 This allows for easy transportation or separating the fortresses for different play scenarios (e.g., controlled by different factions).
Overgrown Aesthetic: The castle features a large amount of brick-built foliage and trees, indicating that the old stone fortress has been reclaimed by the forest and adopted by the Forestmen.
Interior Details: Both sides are packed with interior rooms and features on multiple levels, including:
A grand bedroom and watch tower on one side.
A dining hall, armory, and a tower dungeon on the other.
A hidden underground treasure room/cavern filled with gold.
Action Features: The set includes a working zip-line (rope) connecting the towers for quick Forestmen travel, a horse and cart for the Knights, and doors/ladders to access all levels.
Factions: The set is a massive battleground between the Forestmen (recognized by their green hats and quivers) and the rival Black Falcon Knights.
The Forest Stronghold is highly sought after by Castle fans for its size, detail, and dedication to the beloved Forestmen theme.
