Nice pieces!

That blue orc/hobgoblin/whatever... where's that mini from? I sold one recently, just curious who made it. =)

Hei phreedh,

the base of the fig you sold names Grenadier as  manufactorer ;)

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!  ;)

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?

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!

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!!! :)

I'm asking to you all, just because this isn't a selling forum, and i trust you! tell me what you think! :)
I need to have an idea!

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

http://www.manticgames.com/Shop-Home/Undead/War-Machines/Product/Undead-Balefire-Catapult.html

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.

Doesn't seem so.
But it's bigger than yours.

And it's not structured all around

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! :)

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)

rabbits, if you are still interested, i've prepared 2 trebuchet in plastic bags, plus addons, like copper, rope and a few resin crates... waiting for your pm! :)

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.
