Common Mistakes to Avoid

1. Uneven Tower Heights

Reason: Insufficient attention to symmetry during construction, or using materials of inconsistent sizes.
Solution: Carefully measure and adjust each tower section before gluing, ensuring both towers are exactly the same height.

2. Weak or Collapsing Drawbridge

Reason: Using flimsy materials for the drawbridge or improper connection to the towers; insufficient support structure.
Solution: Reinforce the drawbridge with additional supports or use sturdier materials like cardboard or craft sticks.
