Nope, but I can see how you might think that.
Most of the model(1) sits right on the baseplates, but some parts are built
onto/into the mountain wall that runs around 3 sides - it's a box canyon sort
of thing. The tower is question is built at one end of the curtain wall, and
starts out higher, more-or-less where the wall meets the mountain.
I haven't done any pictures up yet, since it's not quite finished, but you can
see a pair of pictures that Chris Gray took at our local lego-fest a couple
months back here:

1: What exactly do you call a large scale project like this? Uber-model?
Playscape? Grand undertaking? Stupidly ambitious? 'Model' seems a bit
inadequate for describing a project that takes up 4 feet by 4 feet, with
several seperate structures.
