Hegetor's Ram-Tortoise #7

This view, again shows the view of the interior
first level box and flooring, the front plank shielding,
side plank shielding,  and the ladder to the
artillery loft.

Hegetor's Ram-Tortoise #6

This view shows the full length of the ram beam
the full size of the lookout box and the base as well
as the artillery deck.  Note the double-hipped
 roof planking.

Hegetor's Ram-Tortoise #5

This view is looking directly at the front of the ram-tortoise.
Note the slanting sides and the plank section directly
in front.  Of course, all sides would have been planked
over, but these openings allow one to see
 the interior more clearly.  The wooden planking would
have been boarded, padded, and underlaid with a
woven blanket of small sticks / vines, and over all that,
wet hides to minimise impact damage to the hipped roof
by rocks of fire arrows.

Hegetor's Ram-Tortoise #4

This picture is looking directly into the artillery loft.
Behind the dart catapult are the ropes and the rope
stanchions supporting the ram beam.  On the right
side you can see the protective shield for
the ladder to the lookout box.  Note the
sloping sides of the loft.

Hegetor's Ram-Totoise #3

This photo shows the three beams supporting the
outside planking, the floor of the base, and the
ladder to the artillery loft.  A man's height would
be equal to about seven rungs on the ladder.
