Description
This modular model is based on the South Gate and Tower of Troy VI. The adjoining wall retains some shape of an older tower. There is a ground-level door at the rear of the tower. This portal and the trapdoors in the floors allow access from level to level, and the kit includes Bronze Age style ladders sized for the levels. Both the parapet and the turret of the tower lift off to allow access during game-play.
Wall length approx. 303mm

There are many who believe that this is Homer’s famous Scaean Gate. The gate is such a feature of the Iliad that there is, of course, a huge desire to locate it. Whether it is or not, the South Gate was the principle gate of Troy’s citadel with the main roadway leading to the summit of the mound behind.
The kit is made from medium density fibreboard (MDF) and greyboard. Some images show models made from coloured materials. Supreme Littleness Designs kits are supplied in raw materials not coloured.
Any miniatures shown with SLD models are for scale purposes only and are not included with the kits.
