So I have always disliked Playmobil's battering rams.
They offer no protection,
And when they do, they need to be in a tower. ::)
So I decided to do something a little different with my battering ram.
I took it out of the tower,
and then (with the help of PlaymoJager and Indianna :wow: )
I created this monster. ;D

It is a protected battering ram!
It has a roof that I have hot glued onto the bettering ram's horizontal beam.
It was only after I created it that I realized why Playmobil has never created one themselves...
It is really heavy!
Even my Playmo peoples cannot hold it up. :o

I will order another wheel thing from Playmobil the next time I have a DS order.
But you can see how well it works!
Here is a view from the archer's perspective. ;)

Thanks, :wave: it is all Playmobil.
The ram is from the siege tower,
and the roof is from the old western houses.

cool!... I think a want a siege tower now. Thank you Wot >:(
:lol: :lol: :lol:

Great custom work, WoT, and a very ingenious use of unrelated parts. But aren't the sides rather open to arrows? Maybe, a wall of shields down the side held by legionnaires?

Glad you like it Gaston. :lol:

Yup, that is one option.
I am working on ways to fix that now...
But for now, I need to use shields. ::)

A great improvement on the Playmobil designs!
It makes no sense to mount a battering ram at the bottom of a siege tower, and then use it to knock holes in a wall you are trying to climb over! That's akin to standing on a branch as you saw it off a tree.
Battering rams are used against gates and don't need height, they only need to attack the bottom of the gate.

I love your design WOT, none of your guys are going to catch an arrow in the melon.

My thoughts exactly. ;)
Glad you like it Martin.

Thanks,
My hopes indeed. ;D

Awesome! Very well thought out :clap:

That's an ingenious custom, WarriorOfToys! Playmobil's siege tower battering ram combination never made sense to be, based upon the reasons Martin mentions, and their Viking battering ram lacks protection for the operators, but yours is perfect. Well done! :wow:

Very clever set up, i wonder what it would look like if the modern type roof was replaced by a western fort set wooden steck wall, maybe a bit more realistic this way? If i was at my playmoden i would take a photo of that but unfortunatelly I am not right now ....
I remember when the orgianl playmobil siege tower and ram was releasied i was thinking that they shoudl separate these really as they are for a different purpose all together !!! :)

Thanks guys!

I can see your point,
but I don't agree this looks fine to me.
If I really wanted to,
I suppose I could paint it to look more period. :)

Very cool :wave:
