Title: Siege Tower
Post by: Sangennaru on May 25, 2010, 05:12:52 PM

Do you have some good reference pictures for it? :)

When I was younger, there was a great page on the Last Alliance on how to make it.I don't think the site is even up anymore...  :(

It wasn't the forum. It was on the main page, they used to host all sorts of articles. Including a badly written one by me that I posted when I was about 13!!!  ;D

I built one some years ago, mainly balsa wood and hardwood discs for the wheels:

Take it how you will Bezzo - but if you know anything about the current political climate in America its hard to deny that its only a matter of time before it becomes the United Socialist States of America - unless "We the People" can stand up and start to make a real difference in our leadership. Enough Said - off my soap-box now. Time to get back to having a little fun :)

already seen, it is really inspiring, even if it looks really too "regular" for a caothic construction!
btw, it is similar on what i meant to do! :)

other non lotr images? :)
