How to turn a Land Cruiser into a CASTLE!

(Bookmark this page - you may need this some day.)



Used for an arena display at rural shows, the castle is easily assembled and transported.

The scenario features a princess held captive by a fire-breathing dragon. The dragon's head is cut from metal and blows a stream of real flame when it appears through the castle entrance.

A gallant knight on a hobby-horse gallops in but is unable to beat the flaming dragon. It is left to the state fire service who devised the display and commissioned the castle to dowse the flame and rescue the princess.

The entire structure is very light-weight and can be assembled on the vehicle by two people in about two hours.
