This week’s set is Skeleton Tower.
Skeleton Tower was released in 2007 for the Skeletons.
One brave knight comes to rescue the fair princess from the hanging bone cage.
Two armed skeletons, a dragon, and an evil wizard defend the skull tower with its jaw drawbridge, towers, mini catapult, and lightning bolts.

City of Annin
Bruce 2 II 10
Michal Herbolt, also known as gearcs, is an AFOL from Stary Plzenec in the Czech republic.
His first castle set was 6086, so the Black Knights have always been one of his favorite Castle factions,
along with the Forestmen. Even though he's been a LEGO fan since he was six, it is really in the last three years that he's been creating MOCs in earnest.
His most recent, and perhaps his most ambitious, is the City of Annin.
In his backstory, this city was a center of trade that sits on the border between three different empires.
Mercenaries have been hired to kidnap one of the leading citizens, in a scheme to sow discord between the three empires.
Only one brave guard can thwart the plot.
While the city is fictional, the style is based on the gothic architecture of central Europe, and the main gate is inspired by the gate on the Charles Bridge in Prague.
On a more personal note, the city is named after Michal's grandmother Anna, who recently passed away.
This April Michal will be bringing this MOC to the Roztoky 2010 display in Prague.
In addition to Classic-Castle, Michal is a member of the Czech LEGO groups Kostky and
Brickdome.
All of his MOCs can be found in his Brickshelf gallery.
