Siege equipment part I: Siege ladder

(Deutsche Version) Since I explained how to create parts for a castle, I now have to focus on the attackers. As a first step, I want to start with the most easy part, namely the siege ladder.

To create a siege ladder, you need a piece of wood which has a cross-section area of 3x3 mm, I used balsa wood. For a ladder, you need 72 cm. The balsa wood is cut into two pieces of 18 cm length and 9 short pieces of 4 cm. Now, you have to mark the large pieces at the positions 1,3,5,... cm and glue the short parts on them. This completes the siege ladder, you can add some brown color (I would propose watercolour because you still can see the wood structure from below).
