This is a special release. A while ago, Evan Carothers reached out to me to see if I would be willing to do some community models for his Oakenspire Kickstarter.

Bob's Mangonel style catapult

Mangonel.

The Springald was a smaller version of the Ballista used in tighter confines such as castles or towers. Each arm is attached to a spring made of tightly wound tensile material, usually animal sinew or horse hair. The rope is pulled back by a system of gears and pulleys, which causes the arms to bend back against the tensile material. When the trigger is pulled, the rope is released and the arms snap back into place, rapidly propelling the projectile forwards towards the target.

Mangonel.

A mangonel was a type of catapult or siege engine used in the medieval period to throw projectiles at a castle's walls. A mangonel had poorer accuracy than a trebuchet (which was introduced later, shortly before the discovery and widespread usage of gunpowder). The mangonel threw projectiles on a lower trajectory and at a higher velocity than the trebuchet, with the intention of destroying walls, rather than hurling projectiles over them.

This iconic catapult is the latest in my series of siege engines. You can see the others in the Album this image is attached too. The Trebuchet is coming soon... :)
