Good Idea, Poor execution
19 Sep 2011
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
The Editor should be shot. Blueprint objects rarely align or even relate in any way to the blow up pics (if any). Just seems to be a collection of pictures, blueprints and assembly instructions that do not include all the parts, with absolutely no direct correlation between description, blueprint, pics. No two of the included Catapults are even in the same layout. Really frustrating to use. I suppose the only real value here is some pictures of apparently working models.

What I was looking for.
12 Oct 2011
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Simply this is the book I have been looking for about Catapults. I know about trebuchets and that king of technology, but I don't have the time to design my own. This book lacks historical blabling or phisic's theory (all very handy on line) but simply gives a big bunch of plans clear enough to be easily followed.
I recommended ir very much for weekend's family proyect .... depending on the kind of family you have of course.
