Title: Resin Field Trebuchet
Post by: Sangennaru on 13 June 2010, 11:31:28 AM
Hi!

While sculpting other stuff for a shop (and casting, that's an ugly job!!!) i spent 2 evenings while watching movies for sculpting a trebuchet.

I know that the big ones should be around 15 mts, but this is a field one, used mainly against troops.


it is a resin kit, even if there are some parts that have to be made separately, I didn't meant to commercialize it, but if someone is interested, i could think about! :P

That's cool, really well done. Who do you normally sculpt for?

Very  nice and depending  on how it scale up to 28mm figures I would be very  tempted  in a couple if you ever did produce them

thanks! :)

i sculpt for an italian shop-site, actually it is a painting site, good quality of painting and really friendly (much better than dragon painting service or stuff like that). We're starting a line of "homemade" products: I cast a few pieces for them, they don't invest many money in a wide scale production and make the profits on the painting.

quite strange, but really good for me! :)


i've casted this thebuchet this morning, i'll paint it as soon as i can... :)

its base is 9 x 5 cm, and it is 8-15 cms tall, depending of the position! :)
I can cast and send them to you, but you have to make the rope and the "copper" part, because it is made after the casting! :)
it is made of 10 parts, plus the copper and rope addons!

I'm sure Rabbitz would have no problem with them. You should see his scenery, it's unbelievable.

there are some random minis for scale comparison!

Those are amazing. Hard to believe you are only 20 and making things like those.

I love the blue orc too. Grenadier models right?  :)

I reckon you could sell them, you would just need to write a guide on how to 'finish' it in the way you have.  :)

you know the best part? it tooks less than 4 hours for sculpting and 2 for moulding! :P



actually, now i'm involved in sculpting medieval and wwii buildings, so i can only work in small periods, between different projects! :P


just to know, what do you think should be the right price for the "incomplete kit"?

Can you send me a PM or post on here how much you want for 2 of them plus postage to Australia.   These look too nice to pass up on.... (providing the price is right)

i have no idea about the price, that's why i'm asking you which is the right one!

i'm afraid that the shipping to australia should become quite expensive, because i'm just a private and have no convenient fees...
I've checked right now to the italian postal service, and it is ridicolously expensive.

does anyone knows other cheaper ways?
Title: Re: Resin Field Trebuchet
Post by: Sangennaru on 13 June 2010, 03:50:37 PM
no I was wrong, the shipping is totally affordable. around 3 euros.  lol

so everyone, tell me about what you think the right price should be, and then i'll decide what to do! :P

Great stuff - they look lovely!

As for price I'll have a go as everyone else seems reticent - I warn you though - I'm no expert!

 Try having a look around for similar stuff being sold by other companies - had a quick trawl round and found an onager going for £18 at warlord games, although that does seem a bit pricey for my moth-eaten wallet!

Somewhere around £10 sounds good to me  :D but I don't know much about the costs involved in sculpting and casting and how much you'd need to make the whole exercise economic!

Hope that's not undervaluing your lovely work too much!  ;)

The Grendel/Scotia Trebuchet cost 15,00 Pounds.
Title: Re: Resin Field Trebuchet
Post by: Sangennaru on 13 June 2010, 05:51:20 PM
ok i was thinking about 8£ for the unassembled and without the copper parts... in the package i can add some copper wire and rope, but nothing of manual by me... :P if you want the trebuchet already assembled, it should be around 15, cause is a very long work to assemble everything!


you think is accetable?
Title: Re: Resin Field Trebuchet
Post by: Thantsants on 13 June 2010, 06:04:31 PM
Is that 8 euros or 8 pounds for the unassembled?

Either way its a very reasonable price!  ;) :D

Good idea to charge a premium for the assembled piece!
Title: Re: Resin Field Trebuchet
Post by: Sangennaru on 13 June 2010, 06:07:24 PM
pounds, 10 euros should be honest!

the main problem for the assembled one is the shipping: it is pretty much expensive... :-\
BTW if someone is interested I could also think about painting it!!! :)

Ok then I'll start the ball rolling with this idea:

Plastic, with crew and optional bits and pieces £8 you can buy a pair for £12.50.

Yours: resin with no crew or optional bits I would suggest the same pricing recognising size etc....

Just a suggestion.

actually, mine is 3 times bigger than this, and i can't compete with those companies, of course. But it is a good suggestion, even if I can't afford to ask too few! i'm not planning to cast many catapults, it is just for fun! :)

Sorry didn't look at your original pricing, but at least my idea was around what you were thinking.

I'll take 2 or 3 off you definately.

actually, i have some time for sculpting other things... what do you think i can do?
Title: Re: Resin Field Trebuchet
Post by: Thantsants on 14 June 2010, 12:23:46 AM
Well having a load of painting to do and not much time for scenery building I could do wih a nice ready-made log pallisade in straight and corner sections!  :D

As your trebuchet is so nice how about a bolt thrower?
Title: Re: Resin Field Trebuchet
Post by: rob_the_robgoblin on 14 June 2010, 08:15:49 AM
Yeah a few warmachines would be excellent.

I need a big, but simple cannon for a Flintloque scenario, Grendel do one, but it's too 'busy'.

I actually quite like it, I might end up using it. Add some more fantasy to my FLQ games.  :)
Title: Re: Resin Field Trebuchet
Post by: Sangennaru on 14 June 2010, 04:08:35 PM
interesting, actually it looks a bit to elaborate for my simple style! :P

now i've found some images for a roman catapult, i could think about that. And it MUST WORK for real! like a small catapult, throwing rocks!!!! :)
would you like to have a real working catapult? lol


ah, another question: how to show the things without having an online shop? I mean, i'm showing the trebuchet to all you from the fantasy section of LAF, but maybe there's someone having a medieval army but is not into fantasy... i really hate to double thread in different sections but... how!
Title: Re: Resin Field Trebuchet
Post by: rob_the_robgoblin on 14 June 2010, 05:15:26 PM
What I was wondering was whether you could do a more simple cannon. Similar style, but with less ornate stuff all over it.  :)

I'd just double thread it - the chap (sorry can't remember your name offhand!) who sculpted that lovely swamp thing did and got some great responses!

I'll have a look later for ballista pics - any tips for making a sharpened log pallisade ,by the way, if you don't fancy having a go yourself?

A working catapult could be fun - aahhh memories of playing Crossbows and Catapults as a kid are flooding back!  :D

For the palisade, look at this topic (http://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=19281.msg234751#msg234751) the scale is smaller (15mm) but you can find some tips!!!

I intend to make also walls and palisades, but dunno when... :P

anyway, today i'll start thinking about something else to cast... maybe :P

Sign me up for a trebuchet too! Looking forward to seeing your's painted up.  8)

Cheers for the link - you're fencing had crossed my mind - being a bit clueless about balsa can you get rounded sticks rather than the flat sheets of it?  I want to go for the sharpened log style

Title: Re: Resin Field Trebuchet
Post by: Sangennaru on 14 June 2010, 09:41:53 PM
you can find balsa in all the shapes you need, even if the cheaper one is in sheets. so you can buty 5 mm sheets and cut the round shapes... they looks pretty nice! :)

or if you want you can also buy round pieces, but you can pay 50 euros for a wall instead of 5 XD


thanks for the imgs, I'll paint the trebuchet soon... :)
Title: Re: Resin Field Trebuchet
Post by: Thantsants on 14 June 2010, 09:46:21 PM

Title: Re: Resin Field Trebuchet
Post by: rob_the_robgoblin on 16 June 2010, 09:34:46 AM
Yeah mate, palisades would be eaaasy.

Just get some twigs and some filler.

In fact, I recall a very good White Dwarf article on it...

All my WD's are at my parents, but Paul Sawyer made it for his Beastman army in the 90s. I think it was a tale of 4 gamers, the first time round. I remember there was a photo of him at a GW Sale with 3 boxes of Beastman chariots and his daughter clutching a sweep (Sooty and Sweep) soft toy which they had labelled as a beastman of the dark gods!  lol

I'd suggest getting some polystyrene to build the basic palisade shape, fixing twigs along the inner wall, sharpening them and then filling the gaps and sanding the front. Then, of course, paint them up!!!  :)
Title: Re: Resin Field Trebuchet
Post by: Sangennaru on 16 June 2010, 07:42:23 PM
yep, i love working with balsa, and it is really easy to use.

Firstly - wow that was quick - know its not finished but its shaping up beautifully!
Secondly - cheers for the link - exactly what I had in mind - the greenstuffing was something I hadn't thought of - off to search the loft for polystyrene and the garden for twigs in a bit!

Thanks for your tips as well Rob - like the Sweep story - always thought he was a bit mental!  ;D

I shall hijack this thread no more with talk of sharpened logs - on with the catapults!  >:D

but i have no time for now to cast a better one, so... :)

I would love to see you do a huge Trebuchet with the 'human hampster wheel' type of thing on the sides.    :D

I just recieved mine!  :) The casting look great, and the sculpt itself does not let the images down either, I'm very very happy to be the proud owner of 3 of these babies  :D

Unfortunenately, I won't have time to paint them up in the next ten days, as I'm in the middle of moving to a new apartment  :(

I'll open a thread as soon as they are finished, but I thought you would find it funny to see a bit of progress.

To people wanting to buy one: They clean up really nice, the resin is pretty sturdy but still easy to file or cut (I cleaned this baby just by using a sharp hobby knife) and assemply isn't worse than all other non-plastik sets out there. I'm still very pleased by my purchace  :)

As i mentioned earlier, I'm in the middle of moving apartment, so this was assembled using a far too old glue I had lying around in my parents' attic (yes, I do live with my parents again  lol), which is why the weight isn't glued in place. If I can find some greenstuff I'll add details and try to paint it with some far too old paint too  :)

yeee!!!

Lovely! :)


really nice work, also with rope and copper! :)
I'm feeling really guilty because i didn't posted a tutorial yet, but i had some hard days with uni-exams (physics is not nuts!  :-X ), but it seems you managed perfectly to assemble everything!

i'm really waiting to see it finished and painted!!!

if you make a good painting job, and if you send me some good pics, i will use them for an eventual site, giving you great discounts for eventual other boughts!!!! :)
