Scorpio - balista

I agree that the arms are probably too long. At that length, if the scorpio is operated with any amount of tension, there may be a risk that the leverage created by the long arms could cause them to break. Also, I would recommend rivetting steel plates around the head unit like the originals from Ampurias and Caminrael, otherwise the tension of the rope springs could spoil your beautiful woodwork by producing cracks in it. Otherwise, I echo the other commentators in congratulating you on a very nice job so far.
