  • Hobby # 7

    Have an interest in the roman empire and their weapons. I build model siege engines. Pictured are a couple catapults and an onager. They are models of the 4th and 5th century. They could throw 10 to 40 lb boulders 50 some yards. at castle walls and gates to breach the castle security. A 50 lb bolder at 100 fps has a lot of energy, not morters and cannons but worked back then. They probably make you rich for a bazooka.

    I remember those from when I was a young kid! That's some awesome work.
