Small scale Trebuchet
« on: December 31, 2012, 06:48:32 AM »
Hi All,

Here is a quick little video of a small Trebuchet I built.

I am now in the process of building the larger one. It will be 70 cm high and use golf balls as ammunition.
Both this one and the large one have a cantilevered design and are made without visible nuts and bolts. (well, the small one has 1 partially hidden bolt)

Looks great. Just looked at your other videos - what 3d modelling programmes are you using? Look fab!

Hi Raynerd,

I do all my modelling in IronCAD and then render them using Bryce. I like the Bryce renderer and it gives you more choices to play with materials than my CAD program.
