...for HvyArty and RedLeg...

WOO-HOO !

Being able to log in again onto the FSM forum is almost as exciting as Manny's Mangonel !

Ooooh !

Where did ya get the spring pole design ?

Nice work, Manny"

IS it your work? Tell us about it! Is it going into your next dio?

Nice to see you posting something finally! I've been waiting to see you get back to modeling!

Of course its my work...thought I'd take a break from styrene and build a wooden kit...no glue involved, just wooden dowels...it actually works like the real thing...doesn't list a scale but I'd guess ir is close to 35th or 24th scale...

I was gonna initially build it out of paper napkins and empty chapstik tubes but thought better of that since I wanted to get it done this year...

Now it needs a crew of Roman Legionaires

Nice ancient artillery.  Looks good.  I'm glad that arty has progressed a bit since then though. 

I dunno...I've hit my cats 5 out of 6 attempts with marbles during he last barrage...

It's just a model......

Manny never mentioned he was hanging out with Roy Underhill in Pittsboro, NC.

Look forward to seeing your cat launching prototype.

Where did you find the plans for the spring pole version?

Imagine what 228 more of those could do...

Better build more kits before you lose all your marbles.....

Manny, one of my kids has to build one of those for Physics class.  Can you send me the plans?

Pretty cool Manny, nice to see you branching out a bit in both subject matter and medium!

The Chinese make a better kit.....but I would never buy it....as a matter of principle ..of course...

You just don't like bamboo...

Manny:

what is the name of the kit manufacturer.?..

or...

if not a kit-where did you obtain the plans and what type wood did you use?was the kit

Stunning work... I want to marry it!

Nice Job Manny !

Needs more rust, well maybe termites.    Rick

Perhaps a coat of

Zinsser Clear Spray Shellac

Great build Manny!  I just hope it doesn't say "Made by the ACME Catapult Company" and come with a small coyote.
