Searching through old resources I found some photos and files of early version of simplistic Siege/Breaching Tower.
(those were the times, my friends... Once upon a time there was a tavern Siege Tower )
The photo on the left shows the first work-in-progress version of the siege tower - still in a 60 mm scale and some "retro" minis with a white outline. The photos on the right show the more polished version - it's full 3D - albeit very (but really very) simple.
The scale is still 60 mm - but reducing to 30 mm shouldn't be a problem. Simplicity, i.e. the ease and speed of making such a "model", is IMHO an advantage, although some will certainly complain.
I mainly think about the "flat" version (2D with tabs and base as in typical minis), which can be modified/modded, for example by adding a lowered bridge (gangplank, like Roman naval corvus) or a battering ram. So the 3D version will therefore be a kind of bonus or additional content for those who would prefer such a model. I'll probably also add different versions of the tower protection from projectiles and fire - in addition to the metal/bronze plates shown there could be also wet skins.
What do you think about such a simple set and model? Too simple perhaps?
