WIP trebuchet now x 2!

[tas 1812]

Hi all,

My WIP trebuchet, lots to do but I've finally found a design and materials I can work with It's modelled on the 1/72 Zvezda kit which is now almost impossible to come by, so I liked the design and proportions so I've based this one on it.

Kudos if you can guess what the frame is made from





and a couple of shots for scale comparisons...

Well done - and great use of at-hand materials!

[Naughtius Maximus]

The skill and ingenuity that I have seen here and else where always is a welcome surprise.

We used to threaten the new kids at the club with the Whippie-Stick Gauntlet!

Awesome looking thing. I like a lot!

Whippy sticks are the best.

Much better than some made by the classic wargaming companies.

Irregular did one with a bar connecting the two sides. Ignoring that the counterweight would crash it.

Very nice use of what is mainly scrap plastic.


I hope it gets a less colourful paint scheme though.

Noooo! More colourful! Make it out in different animal prints - leopard, tiger, giraffe - the enemy will never be able to look at it long enough to work out what it is.
