Hello,
I've been working on a couple of trebuchets. My first attempt was for the Black

(...) SNIP! (...) SNIP! James I really like both of these - they're incredibly cool. The fact that they're (mostly/fully) functional is just too perfect for words. Of the two, I like the BF Treb the best but then I've always been a BF sympathizer. (...) (21 years ago, 4-Dec-03, to lugnet.castle)
