A slender Wizards tower

[FAB]

Would anyone have seen anything like this in their internettical travels?
I've found a lovely big model for a wizards mansion and it has an after thought of a tower on one side of it. I thought I might lop the little conical roof off and and a slender wizards tower to the model to give it a little tweak and make it less off the shelf and a little more pizzazzy.
Has anyone seen any tasteful slender Wizard towers, preferably with a conical roof or steep slates?
I've been looking for ages with a foggy old google fu and coming up null.

Any help appreciated.

Do you mean a smaller turret off the side of the tower?

Scratch building small towers to get the right size might be easier.   Worbla might make a good strong and texture-taking tube.  Egg carton shingles for the top.

A Pringles tube is your best friend.

I use Pringles tubes a lot in fantasy buildings and the one thing I would never describe them as in 28mm is 'slender'. 
A toilet roll tube, on the other hand, might do it?

Couldn’t you just start with this from Northstar and customise it?

FAB does say 'slender' though - so I'm thinking less of a wider castle type tower and a bit more like a standalone church tower - they tend to be more slender, although square generally. Battle Honours do a nice slender church tower with an interesting, open, roof which might be quite good. Unfortunately, I'm on my phone and it doesn't like me using images! But if you go to Battle Honours 3d, search for church tower, you'll see what I mean.
If, however, square is not to your taste and you're wanting a round, slender tower - have you considered converting a lighthouse model into your wizards tower?

Exactly Sir.

Sounds like the old Forgeworld wizards tower

Not seen one on eBay for years and would hate to think of the cost now!!!

Exactly Sir.

Evergreen plastics - they make tubes in various diameters - this is the way.

Right. That's going to be tricky.
Zvezda used to do an add-on part to their 1/72 castle series - 8526 -Stone Watch Tower, although you could also use the 8534 Observation tower with a little work. The Zvezda castle series are OOP sadly but you might be lucky enough to pick up a few parts somewhere. Zvezda did a couple of castles with these parts in the kit - Ivanhoe and Lancelot castles, again OOP but you could find parts here and there. The old Airfix 1/72 'Medieval Castle' or 'Sherwood Castle' had some turrets in there as well - long OOP but someone may have bits, worth a check. Blotz offer a square, wood/plaster style turret in mdf that's designed to go on a roof in their 28mm medieval range but beyond that it's going to be pretty slim pickings I'm afraid - most 28mm buildings have one already attached if you can find one at all. Good luck on that though!

you've not actually said what scale... folks are offering decent suggestions, but it seems all very shot in the dark.

Scratch built by me ,slender wizard tower. Made from a plastic drain pipe.

That's true - I just assumed that it'd be 28mm or thereabouts.

Hi FAB, any luck? Have you found anything that might do?
