Jul, you HAVE to write an article about building one of those, it's fantastic!

You could improve the wood by lightly drybrush it with either Bleached Bone or Rotting Flesh.


aye, an article is more than needed, it really is a masterpiece.

Gee thanks guys! :-D Like I told Corsair, this was just a test-run for a friend. I was planning on making an improved trebuchet, for which I would definetly make an article... so expect one soon 8)
Although sadly my questions haven't been answered... how should I paint the ropes?

Also, a sneakpeek at my next project, which I've been researching and will start after the awards... an Avenger Bolt Thrower :-D

Darn, I though my idea was original :( Thanks though, I might use it as reference 8)

Update on the treb, and hopefully the final piece!

HERE'S YOUR CHANCE TO BE A HARSH CRITIC... I really need the opinions of others on the trebuchet...

Thanks guys :)

Looks good Jul, but I'd add some more weathering on the metal braces holding the trebuchet together. A black and brown wash should suffice.

The line should definately be more strained ;) It's to loose now and i doesn't look real.

Also add some weathering to the wood grain itself ;) A wash or maybe just a filter of some brown/black/green, slight drybrush of bleached bone on some most exploited surfaces ;) So as to metllics, John already pointed that out ;)
