Title: BSC2021 Ichwillauch - medieval siege
Post by: ichwillauch on April 07, 2021, 08:16:07 AM

Difficult terrain is a difficult task. My first thoughts are to build the area in front of a besieged medieval castle with a siege tower, storming ladders, a moat.

Hi Clach Umha,

thank you very much for the nice comment. My wife and I built the walking dead dioramas together, it was her idea to use the Smoking man Morley posters

First wip pics of the siege tower, still missing a lot of parts:

The last time (the only time) I made a siege tower (well it was two)
was some fifty years ago! I clad their fronts & leading parts of their sides
with 'hides'. Using some off-cuts of thin leather which I cut into irregular
rectangular shapes. Those I simply stuck over the timber work.
It is even better if you have different colours of leather.
