Trebuchet Emplacement

[soccerkid6]

This is the third set in my series of custom modular Castle sets. It is similar in size and part count to what an official set would be. The trebuchet actually works and is fun to play around with. There's also an interior in the first floor of the bastion, including a bed, torch, and ladder to reach the second floor. This is a corner section of the modular castle and can attach to the other sets. Total piece count, including figs is 240 parts. See the trebuchet in action here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QlXV3Xy2iEo

All prices include shipping to anywhere in the US. Price for the complete set is 30$
Without the minifig: 25$


All 3 sets hooked together:

These look great and even better when attached together. You have a nice castle coming along so far. For this particular set, the trebuchet looks a little big for the wall. That is my first impression. But with the completed castle it may not look that bad.

Happy Building,

Thanks Sir Valiant, the trebuchet does look a little big. With these designs I've been placing functionality over appearance as I want them to be very playable

Very nice, large catapults are not a terribly common subject for lego. Good work.

Awesome work! I agree with Brickninja, catapults are great, and rarely they come in LEGO sets, which makes this one even better.
I'm looking forward to see more of it

Nice work Isaac! Love these, my only critique would be to raise the wall height (not to large like an actual creation, but just a little higher than it is now). Other than that, nice!

@Brickninja: Thank you

@Gyustsil: Thanks, I have a lot more sections planned. I'll be doing a gatehouse soon

@mpoh98: Thanks Matthew, the wall is pretty low, I tried to match the size of old Castle sets from the 80's. If you meant the battlements on this particular wall section, they're definitely a bit low, but they have to be for the trebuchet to fire (unless I was to raise the trebuchet which would make it look even larger)
