Resin Field Trebuchet

[Thantsants]

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! 

As your trebuchet is so nice how about a bolt thrower?

[rob_the_robgoblin]

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 would like to see some generic "fantasy" cannons... hard to explain really, Will have a look around the net

[rob_the_robgoblin]

Well this is the one Grendel sell.

I actually quite like it, I might end up using it. Add some more fantasy to my FLQ games. 

[Sangennaru]

interesting, actually it looks a bit to elaborate for my simple style!

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?


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!

[rob_the_robgoblin]

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!

For the palisade, look at this topic the scale is smaller (15mm) but you can find some tips!!!

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

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

That is pretty much just what I was thinking off, Bravo! 

[Sangennaru]

now i'm working on something like that, but with the spring charge, like the roman one...

after that i could think about the cannon
