Very nice! What are you going to use for the weight?

Does it actually work?

@ Winterdyne - If you look ta the top of the picture you can partially see the weight, It is basically just a big piece of green stuff with shields embedded in it which will be painted like a rock.

@ Lormax - No it doesn't work at all, everything is glued into place and i'm pretty sure that it doesnt have the right proportions to have worked anyways. It does make me want to make one that does however.

I should also mention that this was made because i was bored today, and that i spent a grand total of 0$ on it. Everything was just laying around, mostly old sprues.

Nice trebuchet.

This reminds me of the trebuchet I've been putting off working on. Need to buy more wood. Here's my inspiration for it:




And his is working, too.

Haha, i watched that exact video before making mine. I do have to say, i think he is exaggerating the accent on purpose though, because i think i live about 1.5 hours from him (i think he was in Kelowna BC) and most of us folk around here don't have that thick of an accent.

Anyway, here are a few more shots in better light i hope, with the weight attached.

Honestly I didn't notice the accent.

I want to make a working one so that I can wage war on my cats.
