Super Trebuchet Wooden Model: Finished

[David G.]

Hello Everybody!

This is an operating wooden wooden model of a siege engine. The company I bought it from calls it a Super Trebuchet but it's really more of an Onager with a cantilever bow-spring.

For those who may be interested here is a link to the build thread.

 

It is a working model and it works rather well. It can throw the provided plastic projectiles between five and seven feet with a fair amount of accuracy.

 

It was a quick and fun build and a pleasant change from my typical styrene automotive kits. ToysTub, the company I bought it from, has a number of different siege engines as well as a wide and varied selection of wooden puzzles and other toys. Their web site is at ToysTub.com.

I plan on getting a Weighted Trebuchet from them next.

 

As always, thanks for taking the time to look and please feel free to post a comment.

Thanks Carl, I've always had a fascination with ancient siege engines and it's really cool to be able to build one.

So, have you hit a target with it?

Welcome back Si.

Thanks, it was a fun kit to build and it went rather quickly. I plan to order their Counterweight Trebuchet soon.

This is the one I originally planned to buy but I mucked up the order.

Have I hit a target with it? Uh, yes actually. I did a successful sneak attack on my wife.  

Regards,

David G.
