Hello everyone,
My name is Hidde Nieboer I'm a student from Amsterdam and I'm planning to build a ballista or a palintone as a final project to finish my education.
Now the thing is, I dont have any experience on building these things. I do have a lot of experience in woodworking.
So what I am looking for is:
- tips and tricks on how to build these things
- pictures of the shooting mechanism
- sizes
- construction drawings
When it is finished it will be for sale.
Thanks to everyone in advance!!!!!
mile:
I already have bought this book:
Roman artillery by Alan Wilkins
The following books are on their way throught the post:
Greek and Roman Artillery 399 BC - AD 363 Duncan B. Campbell
The Art of the Catapult: Build Greek Ballistae, Roman Onagers, English Trebuchets, and More Ancient Artillery Gurstelle, William
