Hi,

I

Looks nice. However, it might be good if you make sure that the mechanics work by building a prototype.

I has the right looks and colors.

Would be nice to see this mighty weapon in real lego.

Yeah!!!

I tested the base structure before I built the digital model, and it worked fine :-)

The trigger system... I'm still workking on that

I has the right looks and colors.

Thanks X-D

Its excellent. Lego should make this set.

Its not too big to be too expensive *y* but maybe its too realistic :'-(

[Darth Doggfather]

for the trigger system:

make the weight on the end of the arm HEAVY(fishing weights maybe)!

use the technic bricks with holes on the arm and the base and stick a bar through it so the bar goes thru the base and the arm

like this: (disregard all periods)

..................... _

|A|......._ / \...................the middle thing B represents the actual base

|_|===|B|==| C |..................the left thing A represents the arm

...........| |.....\ _/ ..................the far right thing is something to pull the technic beam out of A and B

the arm will be heavy enough to whip straight up when C is pulled.

worked great for a school project on catapults

hope this helps! *sweet*
