01 /The design
A small footprint with a high lookout.
The pointed roof sits above an open-windowed upper room, with the long ladder against the tower base. Original renders show the ladder side and the rear of the completed design.
The tower is designed for 28–32 mm miniatures and measures 86 × 86 × 185 mm. The layout uses one 230 × 280 mm sheet, with files for 3 mm and 1/8-inch plywood.

02 /At your workbench
Choose your material.Make it fit.
Measure first.
Check your actual material thickness and the matching file version. Test the slots and kerf on a small cut.
Check the layout.
Open the supplied design in compatible laser software. Check that the layout fits your machine’s usable work area.
Follow the guide.
Use the PDF assembly guide to identify the parts and work through the construction sequence.
Plan this build.
Choose the file version matching your measured plywood. Check the narrow ladder and roof connections, test the joints and follow the supplied guide before fixing the sections together.
At the 3 mm material scale, no individual part exceeds 290 mm. This refers to one part, not the assembled model or the whole cutting layout. Rescaling changes that limit.

What do I receive?
Digital SVG and DXF design files and a PDF assembly guide. No physical model, material or hardware is shipped.
Can I change the scale?
Scale every part equally. Slots and tabs change with the design, so the material thickness must change in the same proportion; the finished dimensions also change. Test the fit and kerf before cutting all the parts.
Can I use the design commercially?
The files are for personal use. Contact 21CNCStudio before commercial use or selling finished items. Do not resell, share or redistribute the digital files without permission.
