Dollar Tree is selling about the least expensive castle you can find. It's $1.25 USD per set and with two sets you can make a passable castle for 1/72nd scale.

It was designed as a mold to make sand castles. However, you can use it right out of the bag to defend against Vikings, the next baron over, or anyone else in little scale.

With a suitable paint job that would be perfectly usable.
Nice find.

Thank you korsun0. Might be a while before I get around to that.

The walls just need a bit of texture to look more like stone. There are spray texture materials that would probably work.

It's a great find.
