 mangonel.gifDan Reno's  model
Modelling friend, Dan Reno is developing this new method of disposing pet
litter with a range just far enough to reach the pet OWNER'S yard.!!


I can vouch that Dan's catapult can perform well under considerable strain. Using 90 lb. card stock for my model, I have fired the catapult with about 30 pennies stuffed into the counterweight bucket. While the range is modest, the overall performance of my little war machine is quite satisfactory. I was thinking of building that V-2 rocket, and I think the catapult would make a nice contrast standing nearby...

Hmmm. Considering our earlier discussion about mixing French Provincial furniture and early German artillery, I wonder if medieval siege engines would be a better decor match? ;-)

This is a great model, Dan, and I'm very impressed that it's your first design. Your attention to appearance and the woodgrain coloring are quite professional. Bravo!
