Here at Quantum Gothic we’re proud to announce the release of our brand new Watch Tower. The kit contains 14 detailed parts and printed instruction to guide through it’s assembly step by step.

It’s fully compatible with our Armoured Wall set : by removing the round base ( it simply slots in and out ) this structure can be just as easily integrated to the Wall sections and become part of a much larger structure, then place it next to our Armoured Bunker and you’ll have an impressive line of defence against any invading enemy forces.
