How do you make a model of a portcullis?
Lollipop sticks. You could sharpen the ends to be spiky, and the glue them together in the shape of a portcullis. Then paint them to look like iron and draw big rivets on where they cross. Then build the front of the castle out of cardboard and paint it grey to look like stone. Then you should thread string through the top of two of the sticks. Hook the string around a cotton reel pulley system, so when you pull the string, the portcullis would raise. You should have two portcullises within your castle so that you can enclose your enemies in the barbican and shoot with them with arrows from the castle walls.

What is the meaning of the word portcullis?
A portcullis is a grille or gate made of wood, metal or a combination of the two. Portcullises fortified the entrances to many medieval castles, acting as a last line of defence during time of attack or siege. Each portcullis was mounted in vertical grooves in castle walls and could be raised or lowered quickly by means of chains or ropes attached to an internal winch. There would often be two portcullises to the main entrance. The one closest to the inside would be closed first and then the one furthest away. This was used to trap the enemy and often, burning wood or hot oil would be poured onto them from the roof. Also, archers could shoot arrows at the trapped enemies. There were often arrow holes in the sides of the walls for archers and crossbowman to eliminate the besieging army. A portcullis is a gate that can be lowered and raised to prevent entrance through an archway or gateway.
