Just returned from a trip to t'frozen north, Tynemouth to be exact. Went to
Durham, Beamish (brilliant), Alnwick & Warkworth Castle. At the latter I
bought a working scale model of a trebuchet!

Haven't built it yet, but it will be around 200mm high when finished.
Always been fascinated by trebuchets and the plan is to scale up this model
so I can build one around 1.2m high.

This was done on one of C4's scrapheap challenges, flinging cars.
