Re: Medieval Crane
A very good design and it looks realistic. That wheal looks very good. And that it actually works is awesome

Re: Medieval Crane
Great work! I will probably be doing one of these myself pretty soon. The fact that this one works makes it that much better

Perhaps I'm unlucky, but I dont' know a lot of Mocers that have built this one.

Re: Medieval Crane
Wow, that looks amazing! I instantly recognized it for what it was. The realism and accuracy is quite striking. Love the technique that you used for the wheel.

Re: Medieval Crane
Ooh, very nice. Fantastic wheel design, you could put a couple of those side by side and have a pretty sweet catapult too.

Re: Medieval Crane
Really nice wheel design. Pretty fragile though?

Re: Medieval Crane
This is pretty neat! The accuracy of the model is quite good.

Re: Medieval Crane
Thanks for your comments
In fact, it's strange but it isn't too fragile. I will put a minifig in the wheel during the french convention and it isn't a problem with thatAK_Brickster wrote:Really nice wheel design. Pretty fragile though?

Re: Medieval Crane
very cool I like how it looks like there are metal bands wrapped around the wooden parts of the weel, was that intentional or just because they don't make those parts in brown?

Re: Medieval Crane
They only came in old brown, and look to be pretty rare in that color. Whether the color choice was intentional or not, I have to agree with Lord of Orks, the black looks great.
Re: Medieval Crane
Yes it's intentional. As you have said, all parts in black color symbolise in fact metal parts.lord_of_orks wrote:very cool I like how it looks like there are metal bands wrapped around the wooden parts of the weel, was that intentional or just because they don't make those parts in brown?

Re: Medieval Crane
As I said at Flickr, a little explanation about the technical construction of the wheel :
The base is not complicated: it is a cross formed of round plates and round bricks 1 x 1, and assembled on a cross (Technic, Axle Hub Connector with 4 Bars)
The circle of the wheel, it is composed of four parts: "Plate, Modified 1 x 1 with Clip Light - Thick Ring" of both sides, a "Plate 1 x 6," the "light clip" in opposition relative to each other, in which comes to slide "Stop with a Bar 6L Ring", and "tile 1 x 4" between the two "Light clip" to finish.
This technique allows to adjust the angle variations and thus to define different angles. Therefore, any constraint on the inter-axis.
(Sorry for my english )
