The crusaders' are back with a bigger and more powerful trebuchet: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=70480 They improved upon their original design (http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=64933) and can now launch 2x2 round bricks at the enemy from as far away as 6 (human) ft.

Unfortunately, it uses a non-LEGO pouch, which is just a piece of construction paper that I have softened up.

		Re: Crusader's Trebuchet v2
That great James. Siege weaponary always looks good in black. Fits well with the classic theme I may have to have a go at building this one. Have you tried using a cloth minifig cloak for the bag, you may have to modify ot slightly, but its still (...) (21 years ago, 28-Jan-04, to lugnet.castle)
