The Unofficial Airfix Modellers' Forum

Hi all here is one of my Chrissy presents from my missus.
Look forward to starting it.

Good one !

Looks interesting, like something out of discworld!

Very interesting, KP and I'd say that definitely falls into the category of "other military models" It's good to see something different.

I know what you mean about the Disc World. But I am rather more surprised that you can still get Brut!

Well here's the start

I love a bit of brute.

Hi all here is the next update. They supply laser cut wood bits for the bow or steel for as they call it expert builders. I've tack glued one of the laser cut bits to the steel as a template for cutting. Here is where I need help the supplied metal is so hard a file won't even scratch it, what I have so far was done with a sanding belt. What would you suggest I drill the holes with I have high speed drill bits but I'm not sure they would drill through this stuff.

A very interesting project! I look forward to watching this. HSS should work on mild steel. If it is stainless, you might need something harder, like Cobalt or even Hi-Molybdenum steel bits.

Hi all next update.

Now thats something you dont see everyday,I well watch weth interest.
Regards
Ken.

If this doesn't shoot anything I'm going to be disappointed.

I love the contrasting wood colours.

Hi all here is the next update 

Very interesting! I wouldn't fancy facing the business end of the real thing!

That is indeed a brutal looking piece of medieval artillery, KP. Great build so far.
