Siege Tower......First Finished Tower including Card

There is only one proper way to overcome a castle. That's with a siege tower. Please keep in mind this one is unfinished and the prototype. I'll post more pics as I finish it and start work on the better version.

WOW! That is cool. How long did it take you to build it?

Yet another great creation by one of our members, great job sea_wolf! but like I said in the other thread, a wood stain and a touch of ch1can0 magic would make it look even better!

Its about 2 weeks into creation and its not finished yet. I still have to add the sides and cranks for the ramps then paint/stain it

I was looking at wood bobbins or what looked like wood thread bobbins that I thought would make for a perfect crack assembly. Looks like you are well on your way with this and what a shocker... do de do BLAM, here is a siege tower. hahah, I like it!

Here are the pictures of what the final version will be like. It is still raw wood but construction is complete. There will be a few changes made as improvements.

I like the first few pictures better. I don't really like the base shield/wall.
How is this monster going to be moved in the game? You will need many figures to move this. IMHO

The bar across the front just behind the shield wall (which is ugly to me too and will be one of the changes) sits on 4 hexes. If you line a unit of 4 along it they provide movement. 1 hex per hex of figure. 4 figures = 4 spaces. a double space figure = 2 spaces. That way the tower moves on that units order marker. To lower the ramps a figure on that level uses its move to work the cranks.

Nice work. I was just thinking about making one of these. The only problem would be how could the defenders stop it?
