 | | Working Black Falcon Trebuchet
|
|
Alright, I made some changes to the black falcon trebuchet and got it to fire properly. It currently will throw a 1x2 round brick about 2 ft ahead. I have an 2 second (300k) avi if someone wants to host it. I looked up some info on the sling ((URL) (...) (21 years ago, 4-Dec-03, to lugnet.castle)

Thanks for the compliments! I was going for the official LEGO set feel with this creation and am glad that it came across that way. James (21 years ago, 4-Dec-03, to lugnet.castle)

(...) It fires, but not very well. I messed around with the black falcon version for an hour or two. I got the projectile to release early and then not release at all. I think the key is in the pouch and sling. Minifig hair doesn't really cut it :) (...) (21 years ago, 4-Dec-03, to lugnet.castle)

(...) Nice! The lego knife cracks me up. I don't think we'll see lego straight-edges anytime soon. I would love to see all these buildings side to side in a massive layout at a Brickfest. What month will Brickfest 2004 happen? -- Pawel (21 years ago, 3-Dec-03, to lugnet.castle, FTX)
