Turmballista – 292 Components

Castles in the Middle Ages, as before, were almost impregnable. Conquerors who wanted to take the old weir for geostrategic reasons were forced to besiege it and thus force it to surrender. The forerunners of the ballista, a Greco-Roman throwing machine that could be loaded with stones, lead balls or incendiary devices, are torsion guns, which were used as early as 400 BC.

The “Turmballista” model kit from UGEARS(R), consisting of a gun turret with ballista, once again puts the defiant castle’s defiant walls to the test and offers gripping history lessons to trace. The brand manufacturer’s steampunk-oriented models offer leverage, pulleys as well as gear mechanisms in detail. The postmodern display piece is thus more than pure theory, but a replica in action. This little work of art thus walks the battlefields of ancient history and recreates them in a reencatment. Here, every hit and every single one of the total of 292 individual parts is at stake, which must not lose their function at all. The capture of the castle is thus only a sign of the times and becomes more obvious with every further hit.
