Josh, Is this the beginning of a traveling caravan for the MM? Very innovative shop and keeper you got there! Regards, ACPin & Sons (21 years ago, 17-May-03, to lugnet.castle)

(...) Lets not get in to an debate here, but every other animal is in no way close to true. Have you seen any farm animals? There is lots to add, and unless there is good reason, I doubt if we'll ever see a wolf. Jeremy (21 years ago, 17-May-03, to lugnet.castle)

Hey Brian, Very nice trebuchet! I saw that show too and loved it. You can buy copies of it off of their website. Anyway, your rendition is very cool. I am thinking of building one too after all this talk about them. But now I will be a copycat! :) (...) (21 years ago, 17-May-03, to lugnet.castle)

I'm glad you liked the siege weapons site. I found it when I was building my catapult. I've started doing more historical research when I build. Not that I'm all that accurate in my MOCs, but I do get some great ideas that way! Stephen (21 years ago, 17-May-03, to lugnet.castle)
