There are four factors I take into account with a model like this: 1) Scale - I use 20 & 15mm figures so the model has to work on a reduced samller scale - the East Gate worked out nicely. 2) Durable - gaming fixtures and miniatures had better be able to stand up to some abuse - once you get the gate together it stands up well. 3) Construction - I don't mind complex if the result is a solid product - I liked the way the gate came together. 4) Visual - does it look right - yes.

Overall the East Gate model produces a good looking solid product.
