Millacol88 Posted February 8, 2009 Posted February 8, 2009 The title mostly says it all, heres my Battering Ram: Overall view: Side view Another view Trolls ready to knock down some crownie walls. Catapult The ammo! The catapult is my entry for the "Rock" themed contest in the Other Themes section. C and C is welcome. Let me know what you think. Quote
metalandi Posted February 8, 2009 Posted February 8, 2009 I like the sdimple yet effective design on both, but there are 2 things i got to ask. 1. i think on the battering ram, the "ram" itself is a bit too short on one side, since it is only a bit longer than the wheels, i think it will be pretty hard to ram a solid door with it Another prediction woul be to make it moveable, like with a rubber band (thinking on the tower raid set...) 2. The catapult: how does it move? Do the poor orcs have to carry it all the way to the castles? Quote
Captain Blackmoor Posted February 8, 2009 Posted February 8, 2009 I like them both. The battering ram is a nice idea which I haven't seen before in Lego. It could use some 'troll decorations' though, like a banner or some shields. The catapult looks great and I wish you luck on the 'rock contest'! ( I'm in too ) Quote
Millacol88 Posted February 8, 2009 Author Posted February 8, 2009 Thank you for your comments, and I agree. Expect a "version 2.0" with a longer ram and possibly some banners/shields. Good luck to you on the Rock contest too. Quote
Huntleyfx Posted February 8, 2009 Posted February 8, 2009 I like the fact the catapult actually looks like the rest of the troll's official arsenal. I think it actually might look better than the "balista" that is mounted on the Troll Warship. Nice job. Quote

BlueBard Posted February 8, 2009 Posted February 8, 2009 Nice design for the Battering Ram: simple but really cool! Quote
Zorro Posted February 8, 2009 Posted February 8, 2009 I just LOVE your Battering Ram, as said maybe a little bit short, but anyway! Keep 'em coming! Quote
Millacol88 Posted February 8, 2009 Author Posted February 8, 2009 (edited) I just LOVE your Battering Ram, as said maybe a little bit short, but anyway!Keep 'em coming! Thank you for your kind words. I'll take everyone's comments into consideration when I am improving it. Expect an update. EDIT: Here's Version 2.0! I lengthened the ram, and added crossbows and shields to give it a more signiture look. Again, let me know what you think! Oh, and Zorro, don't worry... I'm thinking a trebuchet next...

soc399 Posted February 9, 2009 Posted February 9, 2009 The redesign of the battering ram is great! Do you have a giant troll to pull it? A nice harness made out of chains around a big troll might be a nice addition to the MOC. Quote
Millacol88 Posted February 9, 2009 Author Posted February 9, 2009 I debated doing that, but that would kind of defeat the purpose of a battering ram, it would end up "battering" the troll who was pulling it. Am I saying battering too much? Perhaps I'll mod it so the troll is pushing it. Quote
Fordo Jumping Posted February 9, 2009 Posted February 9, 2009 I like both of them, but the next one is better the delicate designs are just what I love and the latest one is more powerful that ham seems one hit can make all the wall break down Quote
Millacol88 Posted February 9, 2009 Author Posted February 9, 2009 Heres version 2.5-ish. I added two troll grunts pushing the ram. Quote
