Many thanks for all the encouragement!

Regarding the clutter effect, I am considering to have some market stalls along the wall with canvas roofs. Anyone have experience on building such? A crane for lifting heavy cargo would also be good. Any ideas how a 13th century version should look like?

All support appreciated!

Since Roman times cranes seem to retain their basic concept of multiplying human power, using a treadwheel. Here is a Google search and some pics

DintheDin,

Many thanks! Seems a bit complex to build so I might need to buy or to find a less complex crane. ”simple Medieval counterweight crane” anywhere?  :D

Until you complete your search, have a look at more pics of the 1/72 crane that Fredericus Rex is selling, from the excellent Paul's Bods site:

You can also get the big or small treadwheel crane from Sarissa's Roman range:

Thanks for your comments! Jericho, those look fabtastic but unfortunately I have to save my bullion for lead  ;)

So, I am trying to get my act together for the crane. It seems I have to cheat a bit regarding the working mechanism but it seems I have the pieces lined up after a bit of work:

I like very much how you made the "Alpha" part of the crane, eager to see the continuation! Cheers!
