Re: to strelets :the crusade

I still dream about Byzantines....

Re: to strelets :the crusade

Some more Muslims sets would be nice too. The Muslim archer and warriors sets were great figures, and I could always do with more. A command set for both sides would be a great idea. Maybe a large set.

agree more please

Siege Engines

It may be time to attempt an ancient or medievil artillery set

Re: Siege Engines

Dear All
I go with Hank on the Crimean War artillery which would also be useful for other 19th century conflicts.

What is wrong with the Zvezda medieval siege machines? The Trebuchet is excellent. I made mine into a working model with several modifications. I filled the weight box with crushed stones and put a hook on the throwing arm. It doesn't throw a stone far but looks as if it could.

Re: Siege Engines

That sounds great - can you post some pics somewhere, showing your modified trebuchet in action? I'd really like to see this!

Best regards

trebuchet pic

Dear Steve

Here is a low res scan just done on a flat bed scanner hence the unusual angle.



I like a challenge. The plastic rock is the one I use and it normally travels 1cm vertically but occasionally forward with the force of comatose gnat. The hook is made of wire and attaches to the winding gear with a loop that pulls away. In the pic it is in the display mode ie under tension.
