Thanks,
I really enjoy the photography so adding the construction shots gives life to
it. Did you get to the 3rd page with the full scenes of the Treb. I built the
treb about 2 years ago after a friend and I considered building a backyard
version. Anyway it fires the 4x4 rounds accross a 10 ft room.
Back when people were bashing BURPS, I hoarded a bunch of them from Ebay as
well as the number of them that were in kits. I still have more to add in the
next version to expand it a little more. Glad you like the rock affect.
I tested some of the Ideas for Defenses in the PC game Stronghold and the
look and function from lego castles and real pictures in architecture books.
Next I want to build a second wall of defense to model the era of seige engines
where attaching troops would be caught between walls before penatrating inner
defences.
Look for more color integration, the king has his eye on some colorfull stone.
