Title: Siege Engines
Post by: Eric the Shed on 13 October 2013, 06:08:52 PM

Hi Folks

Help Please - looking for siege engines - 28mm scale

esp Catapults, Trebuchets, Mangonels etc

I really wanted to get one of the Zvezda trebuchets but sadly they are no longer available...

Has anybody seen the gripping beast version - any piccies?

Cheers

I don't know what scale this is - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/wooden-model-kits-13-century-trebuchet-/231072461789?pt=UK_ToysGames_ModelKits_ModelKits_JN&hash=item35ccfdf3dd#ht_102wt_958

... but it looks funky!

Warbases have some small bits - bolt throwers, ladders etc.
You could ask if they have plans to expand into anything bigger.
