Catapult Towing
« on: April 21, 2011, 18:03:54 »
Since the catapults have been designed with various holes on the front (see pic below), is there a way/harness/device to tow it?

It kind of looks like it might fit with this part: http://playmodb.org/cgi-bin/showpart.pl?partnum=30-61-0290 I don't think I have a catapult to look at though.

You could use some string and hook it on a horse.  There is a harness for the wolf knight catapult but only wolves can hook up to it.  You can look in the database.  I think the bronze wolfs are like 4806 to 4812 or something like that.

Thanks you two. 

I look forward to finding out if it does fit and work.

Yes, I could use some string.  However, Playmobil designed it this way - quite probably for future potentialities.  Just wish that since it has been in use for so long they would have made something for it and promo'd it as such.

That would be the logical reason for DS brochure items.

It looks like you could also just hook one horse directly to it, maybe? Using those other two holes on the side?

Nope, can't e done, the harness does not fit in those holes and they can't be placed so widely because the neck harness is very ristrictive...
