Kozikyo86 Posted February 21, 2023 Hi! After a little break, I'm slowly coming back to the Castle! Maybe some of you know my projects of siege machines, and there were some - trebuchet, catapult, ballista, mantlet. A few years ago I built a working trebuchet and diorama "The Siege of Bricks". After a few years, I'm coming back to the topic and building a trebuchet again! This time it will be bigger, stronger and better historically reproduced. I hope I'll be able to make an PDF instruction, although it will not be easy, because there will be a lot of ropes and other non-standard accessories (lead balls in counterweight) I wish this time the range of the trebuchet was about 7-8 meters! The previous version had about 5-6 meters of range. I'm curious if 7-8 is possible. Currently the counterweight weighs 164g, which is more than before, the trebuchet is bigger, it has a longer arm. We'll see, haven't tested yet. More soon on my YT channel - Edge of Bricks. I will update the progress from time to time. Let me know what you think about this project!

Feuer Zug Posted March 13, 2023 Insane! This is perfect for storming all those castles everyone is building. Your attention to detail from functionality to embellishments for a stark siege weapon is wonderful. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Albrick Posted March 19, 2023 Incredible MOC! The way it works is so well detailed that it could be used during lessons on sieges during the Middle Ages! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kozikyo86 Posted April 1, 2023 Hi! Another small project update. The end is getting closer. The ruins are ready and I have the last details left. Today I will show you trees that will appear in my MOC. Autumn version. A bigger tree has a slightly longer trunk, that's because it will fit in the ruins. How do you like it?
