The MINI - Kit de rompecabezas de madera 3D con contrapeso Trebuchet Medieval Siege Equipment para adultos, proyecto STEM de bricolaje, juguete

This was one of the best models I’ve ever built. All the pieces were there, it included all of the tools needed and then some, and it actually works to throw rocks! I’m very impressed.

Honestly a very impressive toy. It functions just like a real medieval Trebuchet. It looks excellent.It can feel a little flimsy in certain parts and assembly had some challenges and I broke a few bits, not enough that it could not be fixed, but I recommend you be careful.I highly recommend watching the supplemental videos on how to put it together as the paper instructions are kind of confusing.

Now… both your allies AND adversaries will understand that you have power to assert your authority and dominance over them! This trebuchet will - without a doubt - let them know you mean business.But seriously, what a fun kit to assemble. And it’s even more fun to operate it.Keep in mind:Don’t separate the parts from the plywood until you’re ready to assemble.A little white glue where the wood pieces meet will make the model MUCH stronger. Be careful not to glue pieces that are meant to move freely.Read up on the counter weight to throw weight ratio. It should be 133 to 1. When you get this ratio correct, this contraption will throw its payload a very great distance.

I watched the video just once to visualize what the plans were saying. Having done that, the plans made perfect sense and I did not have to refer to the video again. The fit of the laser-cut parts was near perfect. The only filing I had to do was for the ends of the ladders. For bending over the ends of the pins, I used a tack hammer rather than the lighter one supplied with the kit although the 'soft' end of the kit hammer was handy when a part needed a bit of persuasion to go into place. I used 250.177 lead air gun pellets for the rubble box - that seems about right and not messy.

As someone who has played, this took me to the medieval times. Realistic and sturdy. Great value for money. Comes with all the parts and tools.Tips for building:1. There are lotsa tiny brass nails that you have to bend to keep joints in place. Get comfortable doing that as you need to do a lot of that. Personally, I’d use the pliers to bend them slightly and then use a sturdy metal such as the hammer to press it down.2. Watch the video. Very helpful to get started. Parts used in the video vs what’s shipped to you can vary slightly. Keep the instructions manual and the video handy.3. It takes a few hours to build it, so find a comfortable place. Split it into different sittings, if needed.4. Involve kids. They love to participate.5. Be careful when you take the parts out. Use the provided …

Good quality materials. The instructions were a little vague/hard to follow at times. But the video they have helps to visualize what the instructions miss out on. It functions fully and it was nice to get a tool kit included so you don't have to run out any buy anything extra. I would recommend shortening the dowels they provide in order to have a more proper fit. I put copper BB's and lead pellets into the counterweight and it launches small stones ~16ft. A cool display piece nonetheless.

I was looking for an adult model kit that would turn into something I'd actually like to display. I'm not into cars, planes, or rockets, and feel there aren't a lot of options for me that don't look cheap while still being related to something of personal interest. I'm thankful for finding this kit. It was a joy to assemble, and I was able to spread the time over four days by tediously sanding each piece.I encountered one problem during construction which was that the top bar was too thick for either of the bushings to slide onto. It required sanding down the entire outer coat of coloring plus a bit further. It is the only piece on the machine that is a light color, which does detract a bit from the look. But really, this was the only problem I had during assembly and it's not a huge deal.

There are about 7/8 very detailed instructions but for some reason that last page of instruction is pretty lacking so you essentially just have to figure it out and make some education assumptions of what to do with the string and how to twine it properly. Overall had a blast making it.
