To be painfully honest, the balista and catapult are straight out of lego.
The balista is a modified version of set 6012.  The catapult is
unchanged out of set 6059.  However the Trebuchet is all of my own design.

I suppose I should go and build my own catapult, certainly i could make a
better model than this one, which has a range of 6 inches.

Ah.  Sorry about that.  I am a castle fan, but both of those sets happened
during my dark age, so I had never seen them before.  I didn't realize that
Lego had made a catapult with a counterweight.  All of the current ones that
I've seen have just a lever that you can "slam" on to make it work.

Thanks for clearing that up.  ( Now that I'm embarrassed... )

I *do* still like your trebuchet though, and I will probably use it as a
basis when I go to build my own.

If you want to get an idea of what LEGO has done in castle before,
take some time and  search the Lugnet/Pause Database for "Castle"
it'll take a bit of time to load but should return all the different
known sets... errrmmm actually for the older series try the
"Fibblesnork LEGO Guide" available from  the "new" www.Lugnet.com
page, just scroll down.  About the only things that
Fibblesnork/Lugnet/Pause databases may be some of the promotional or
overseas sets (these would be mostly the newer ones if any are
missing).
