It's a professional kit from here:

http://worldworksgames.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=78


When I built the model with just the included parts, when you sent the
5 dice of yatzee through the tower too often die would either fall off
the top
as you tried to pile all 5 into the hole or bounce out of the tumble
section, so I added the battlements
on the top and curved inwards battlements on the top section of the
exposed tumbler to keep the dice
in play.  works perfectly with the enhancements, even when you leave
some of the dice in the tray the new ones coming down don't effect
the ones already there (as you want in the three tries of yatzee)

I double and triple printed the doors and windows to give a bit of 3-d
effect on the sides of the tower (and then mounted the parts on cereal
box cardboard as well.)

The base called for foam board, but I just used two layers of
corrugated cardboard I had laying around the house instead.

I also put an cross support beam on the inside made from scrap folded
into a "V" channel so the ramp would not flex at all.
It came out really sturdy.
