The On a package Holiday and having afternoon tea Trolls are coming later

I'm sure Paul allready made a study, how to modify them in more poses!

Thanks for sharing Paul!

8 figures in 4 poses...

Hopefully the runoured orc Catapult isn´t those awefull things from the last Hobbit film (as in the two in the Background of the boxart) but a proper stand alone catapult with a Crew similar to the last LOTR film.
Possibly one or two of These could be Crew members

I'm sure Paul allready made a study, how to modify them in more poses!

I have indeed.

i think they are playing Volley Rock, so need a net made out of chain. BB

[kevinrolfe]

Looking at the sprue above, they could be a village people tribute act, looks like they could be signing YMCA...ish

Nice!

Prince August have a mould for a catapult. They make it for orcs, but maybe it can fit those trolls too. This is a mould that I don't have.

There's also the old Zvezda catapult if you have one or can find one.

Sadly getting hard to find but...I´ve Got 6 of them .......... and a couple of other makes.
There´s also the one from Fredericus-Rex

..but it´s way too nice to give over to a bunch of orcs and trolls.
If redbox don´t bring out a "ready made" catapult I´m planning to scratchbuild one similar to the ones in the last LotR´s film...that way it´ll be historically correct

[steve_pickstock]

New Line Designs do one too at quite a reasonable price, I might pick up a couple at Derby next week.

Do not foget these:

Home > Manufacturers > Strelets > Catapult with Roman Crew

Home > Manufacturers > Strelets > Shaab with Crusader Crew

Home > Manufacturers > Strelets > Catapult with Roman Crew

Home > Manufacturers > Strelets > Shaab with Crusader Crew

My Suggestion, unless anyone really wants the Roman Crew , if only for the catapult, get the Norman Shaab (Petraria Arcatinus) Version..it´s exactly the same sprue as the roman one but with some extra bits added and you get a ballista as well
Roman Sprue

Norman one


Painted Norman catapult

TBH, there´s loads to be found ranging from ones made historically correct and for 1/72nd to fantasy 1/32nd but all adaptable for 1/72nd
Britians
Cresent
Conte
Marx (and copies of)
Remco
BMC
Gripping beast
Giant (arco)
Plastoy
I´ve got so many I´m trying to get rid of some

That last picture must be a nightmare from a bear! I never believe they would do that!

Hi Paul,

After watching your Bods 4 Sale list, I tried to send you email and I wrote in your blog in order to ask you about some sets, but I do not know if you read them.. Can you check it please or send me a PM?
Thanks

[Paul]
