GL - FWD: RE: ES - Armor Workshop ??

[Roger and Sabrina Hooten]

It would not be hard to make a three man tower... that can be broken down to 
parts no larger than 6x3'.  make a base plateform on four wheels, put a 
wooden socket/pin mount (the type used on Roman naval vessels for thier 
scorpions) on top to hold a ballista... and voila... mobile artillary with 
room to hold three on top... you can even hold three men in the safety of 
the confines beneath...
the whole thing would breakdown to a size that it could easily fit in the 
back of wolf's truck.
I also have a would-be SCAdian friend who is very competent in woodworking 
who would chomp at the bit for an opportunity to build siege-weapons and 
engines.
