(...) 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)

Hi, I actually got an experimental version to work after my original post. See this post: (URL) I had to change the sling and I used a minifig hand for the release pin :) It had just the right angle. I can throw a good five feet by adding even more (...) (21 years ago, 4-Dec-03, to lugnet.castle)

Hi Joel, Both of these houses/shops are nice. I like the pottery shop because of the angled facade. I have wanted to try that for a long time. Details like the bed, the kiln, and the pots are nice. Ben (21 years ago, 4-Dec-03, to lugnet.castle, FTX)

Hi James, These are great trebuchets! I really like the counterweights and the sling using minifig hair - very clever. Both trebuchets look like they could be from the middle ages. Great job! Ben (21 years ago, 4-Dec-03, to lugnet.castle)
