Hello!
This is my first post anywhere on LugNet. I’m going to admit two things right
from the start. One, I don’t have anywhere near as much time as I’d like to
build, or parts to use if I did have the time. And, second, I’m not anywhere
near the level af anyone I’ve seen on here when it comes to building, though I’d
definetely like to be. Now, on to the comments.

After lastweek James Brink’s Trebuchets (which is great BTW) I started
building a catapult myself. After the great war that Castle become Bionicles
I toyed and built a catapult from Technic/Bionicles parts.
|
I’m trying to put together a ballista myself, now especially, since two other
people have completed other ideas I’ve had, and completed them extremely well to
boot.
| |
But I really liked it in Tan or Light Brown or something so due that LEGO
never created those parts in those colors, I made a render of it in Tan as
well.

I believe that the Destroyer Droid set from Technic inludes many of the parts
you’re looking for. Perhaps not in the exact color (Dark Brown me thinks), but,
if you were to use those parts instead of the white, and Grey or Dark Grey
pulleys for the wheels I think you might hit closer to the look you want.
I have only one critque, and that would be to try to incorporate some kind of
winch and hook to pull the bucket down for firing. And if you could take this
idea one step further (I couldn’t say myself how you could manage it, that’s why
I say “if you could”) try to add a release mechanism to the winch also.
Fine job you’ve done on a catapult though, something that makes you wonder why
TLC never thought of producing sets like that themselves.
