🏛️ Build History: The Wooden Ballista Model Kit


Journey back to the age of siege warfare and engineering marvels with this engaging 3D Wooden Ballista Model Kit. Recreate one of the Roman Empire's most powerful pieces of artillery, combining historical modeling with functional mechanical fun.

 

Product Highlights

 

  • A Working Historical Replica: This kit is a detailed wooden replica of an ancient Ballista—a large-scale, crossbow-like siege weapon. Once assembled, it's a fully functional model that can launch soft projectiles (like the included red-tipped "arrows") using a rubber band tension mechanism.

  • Interactive Mechanical Action: Experience the thrill of engineering by building moving parts that work in tandem:

    • Functional Launcher: Load the projectile, pull the launch catch, and press the trigger to fire.

    • Adjustable Aim: The turret can often be rotated 360° and the launch angle can be adjusted, allowing you to aim at targets with precision.

  • Premium DIY Assembly:

    • Laser-Cut Precision: Made from high-quality, eco-friendly wood sheets with precise laser-cut components.

    • Glue-Free Construction: The interlocking (tenon and mortise) design ensures a snug, glue-free fit, making the assembly process clean and satisfying.

    • Challenging & Rewarding: Typically consisting of over 100 pieces (around 142 pieces for similar models), this project offers a great challenge for builders seeking a rewarding, detailed finish.

  • Educational STEM Fun: This model is a fantastic STEM project that demonstrates the principles of physics, including potential energy, kinetic energy, tension, and mechanics, in a tangible and enjoyable way.

  • Perfect for Display and Play: The finished model is a stunning piece of desktop décor, capturing the rugged, powerful aesthetic of a medieval siege engine. Its functional launching feature provides endless interactive fun for the whole family.

Ideal Gift For: History buffs, puzzle enthusiasts, hobbyists, and anyone who enjoys mechanical model building.
