Jacob Nion Posted July 23, 2012 Posted July 23, 2012 (edited) I was disappointed about the ballista of the Uruk Hai army set. Also I love to build functional guns and catapults. So here's my try to build a functional ballista, whose design is as close as possible to the film version: Edited July 23, 2012 by Jacob Nion Quote
Leo604 Posted July 23, 2012 Posted July 23, 2012 Yeah, I wasn't a big fan of the ballista that came with 9471. Yours is a nice build, and it shoots pretty far too! Quote
Jack Bricker Posted July 23, 2012 Posted July 23, 2012 That is awesome. I am very impressed. I hope to build something like that myself when I get the time and money. Thanks for sharing. Quote
soccerkid6 Posted July 23, 2012 Posted July 23, 2012 Nicely done! Way better than flick fire missiles Quote
purpleparadox Posted July 24, 2012 Posted July 24, 2012 Hmm...the YouTube link isn't working for me, but it looks interesting! Nice to see a "functioning" LOTR MOC. Quote
SheepEater Posted July 24, 2012 Posted July 24, 2012 I think you've officially created the very first LoTR / Technic hybrid MOC! Congrats It's a big large for minifig scale, though. Quote
THENOOB Posted July 24, 2012 Posted July 24, 2012 LIke how most of the parts are from the set. Could you post instructions to the working functions? Quote
Masked Builder Posted July 24, 2012 Posted July 24, 2012 Very cool. You've come up with a great function for the set, I'm going to do this, but I'd like to make it a but smaller. Quote
Bilbo Baggins Posted July 24, 2012 Posted July 24, 2012 Great functional MOC, Do you know how far it is able to shoot? Quote
JackJonespaw Posted July 24, 2012 Posted July 24, 2012 Kind of terrifying, if it's as fast as it looks. I do like the design - it looks great! Quote
Niku Posted July 24, 2012 Posted July 24, 2012 Great design for the ballista, I love how you also add the music to the video. Quote
Wedge09 Posted July 24, 2012 Posted July 24, 2012 Nice work If the walls were higher, the effect would be perfect Quote
Tycho McKorley Posted July 24, 2012 Posted July 24, 2012 This is one of the better functioning (and looking) Lego ballistas I've seen. Excellent work. I do think you need to build correspondingly higher walls though. Otherwise the orcs outmatch their opponents too easily. ;-) Quote
Kelmanator Posted July 24, 2012 Posted July 24, 2012 What a beast! Nearly bigger than the walls! Brilliant work, I am very impressed. I would like to see how Rohan respond to that... Quote
RaincloudDustbin Posted July 28, 2012 Posted July 28, 2012 Poll. Which ballista is better? Uruk Hai Army one- Unavailable Custom one- Winner Quote
Duke of wellington Posted August 2, 2012 Posted August 2, 2012 (edited) I have 3 of the normal ones could I ask you how did you do it? Edited August 2, 2012 by Duke of wellington Quote
