Dear all
Very soon , a photsotry will be created in my Krull Diorama where there will a fairly large attack at Krull castle that will include the usew of ladders. Think of the classic steck ladder found in 3666 and many other setck sets. I have plenty of these but as the city outside walls are doublehigh i need to connect two ladders together. i think i have a set of balck parts somewhere that connect those ladders , do such parts exist and if so whhich ones are they ? also if they do not , what are the best of ideas/ suggestions to connect the ladders to gether to make the imminent dragon alliance attack with a chance of success ??? ;D ;D
-
Connectors for ladders from the old steckcastles do exist, they came with some construction sets in the 70's and 80's... so very long ago. :(
I'm not sure if they still can be found in other sets ??? , as far as I know they don't come in any medieval sets.

CAnt recall these ?? maybe these are the black connectors i have somewhere which i will find and photo, but in teh original steck castles i doubt these existed ...... maybe there were in a different set , fire brigade very old sets perhaps ............ ??? ??? ???

yes, they didn't come with the castles but with modern sets, like construction, fire department or such

Here is a set from the 70's they came in, you can see them attached to the ladders:

Otherwise, if you can't find more of them, I would try to use the black 2-way connectors from the old Western forts... In that case not by connecting them to the sides of the ladders, but to the steps in the middle.
These 2-way "fort"-connectors also came (in black or brown) in more recent sets. (I use them also to attach spars for sails on ships' masttops) ...

Using the 2-way "fortwall"-connectors, it looks like this... ;)
(best use two of them for each connection, for stability)
