God I love that catapult! In fact the first trophy it won is displayed proudly at my desk… what a conversation piece… 'It's a what? for what?'
This is actually the Onager Mk II. The first one was only used once – which is the one you've got the trophy for. Too bad I don't have pictures from that one too!
Mk I could sure fling golf balls!
THAT WAS AN F'ng Blast!!! Us 2 were the only ones that had it working. It was great
I talked to Richard (who does the Ren Fairs) and told him if he ever finds a way to bring back the catapult type competition, I'm there. (One of his other ventures is Black Raven Comics – he's a customer of mine for web development. It's a small world…)
God doing another competion would be sweet!
