Make Your Own Siege Engines

Make Your Own Siege Engines Synopsis

Make your own Siege Engines...some of the big-time artillery used throughout history can be turned into mini versions too and more than one of each to see how different ones work. Set up a catapult, construct a trebuchet, the medieval heavy weapon of choice; make a blasting ballista and roll out a booming cannon. Tabletop Battles is a fun, engaging and unique series that gives clear step-by-step guides to making a whole range of mini-weapons based on those used from medieval times onwards.

Three of the books group similar types of weapon together and feature eight to ten projects of varying complexity, beginning with the very simplest designs. The last book in the series shows how to make mini- fortifications and siege weapons, and deploys models from the other three books for launching attacks and counter-attacks on a tabletop battlefield.
