David G. Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 (edited) 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. David G.

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.
