CCCXII - Castle Siege; The Siege of Bijkird

[josdu]

Here is my second entry to the CCC Castle Siege category. The focus was on the breach and the trebuchet though, so the wall ain't that great, but I hope you like the breach (as well as the trebuchet) ! Enjoy:







C&C are welcome!

The wall looks great

The breach looks excellent, though I will say the trebuchet would benefit from cleaner lines.

Thank you my friends ! Hmm, what exactly do you mean by clearer lines?

Less stair-step shaping on the trebuchet and more bricks at an angle. Holding the ends of two plates with a SNOT brick or Technic pin would enable you to produce a classic "A frame" shape for the side supports. Another option would be hinge pieces.

[LettuceBrick]

Exactly as mrcpd says. Just be sure to have enough reinforcement so the frame does not collapse. Hinges can be finicky. I hope that helps!

OK, thanks guys, I think I get the idea, but I don't believe I have enough pieces. Still next time I'll try!
