I forgot to say, this is scratch built from card and bits of strip wood.
Progress so far.

Undercoated, ladders added, paining soon, mainly dry brushing.
Martin the Mean just needs somewhere to attack now.

GREAT work - for the siege, how about Avaricum or going back even further how about Rhodes in 304BC (will not make any jokes about you seeing both of these in person - hohohhoho )

I have a trebuchet to build - maybe on Sunday and some other siege engines to scratch build, before the sidetracking gene takes over again.
Maybe I should change the heading?

Just remember, you are older than me, so you would definitely have been present at all these ancient events.

You are only as old as you feel - that makes me about 174 at the moment

Started this yesterday, but was so enjoying the build that I forgot to take any pictures.
Here it is undercoated.
Made from card. string and strip wood, a sort of mangonel /ballista /trebuchet.
No plans, out of my head ( enough left to build a sideboard as my grandma used to say!).

Sir Martin is preparing his siege engines, he just needs a castle to assault (or maybe insult!).
Siege tower.
Ballista
Arkbalista

I thought that you were already doing that.
He is only following orders you know! Whose orders though?
