p.s. Oh, btw, the seige tower is now just a bit too short to work against the higher walls without the ramp being inclined upwards at about 25-30 degrees.  Unless I find a way to move the ramp to the top-most platform of the siege tower.
¿And this is a problem why?

lol, well I guess it's not a problem for the folk INSIDE the castle, since their walls are too high for invading parties' siege towers to penetrate, but it's not so good for the invaders! (nor for me if I want to reenact an invasion using the towers!)

Even though one is sys x and the other is steck, I think these two wall aesthetics go well together, dontcha think?

That's a very impressive castle custom.  I'd certainly think twice before attacking it!

Atto... the result is great!!!! It would be cool to see details of the parts you had to cut and how they fit. What do you use to cut a steck piece? That is thick plastic!

I've cut steck pieces, actually the male ends (and I am sure somebody is about to make a comment on that  :lol:), with an iron saw (is this the right term?--- see attachment)... not practical at all but I have no mechanical tools that I can use.

If it works, it works so stick with it, Panos.

We call those 'hack saws' here.  You could use a band saw to cut the pieces with.  You could also use a scroll saw.  A bet they make mini-bandsaws for hobbyists.  However, if you're not into really customizing steck pieces, this would be a waste.  Or you could take up some type of woodworking!   ;D

I bought a bandsaw last week, and it is indeed very good for 'hacking up' Playmo :evilplan:

Before, I used an ordinary hacksaw as well :)
