Eco Wood Art Trebuchet (catapult)

The Trebuchet model from Eco Wood Art replicates a medieval throwing weapon. The trebuchet is a subtype of the catapult. The throwing arm is secured to a hook for loading, which tenses it. By releasing the hook, the load is catapulted away. This mechanical 3D model with rubber bands functions just like the original.

Recommended age: from 14 years
Number of parts: 94
Model size: 30.5 x 18.0 x 37.7 cm

Assembly is done entirely without glue (pliers and a cutter/utility knife are recommended). The contents include environmentally friendly birch plywood, rubber bands, wax, wooden dowels, a clamp, toothpicks, sandpaper, and a pictorial assembly guide.

Material: wood, rubber, wax
Tip: The model can be additionally painted with wood colors (not included). It is important that the joints are not glued together with dried paint.

Please note: Assembly requires some craftsmanship, as the partially delicate components must be joined with controlled force. Careless or rough handling can irreparably damage individual parts. Here, it is essential to closely follow the assembly instructions, use less force, be patient, and proceed carefully.

The environmentally friendly mechanical models, decorative puzzles, and toys made from renewable birch wood consist of plywood sheets. The sheets are created using laser cutting and are partially decorated. The individual parts can be easily separated from the plywood sheets and assembled without any adhesives. The mechanical functions are realized with rubber bands (e.g., wind-up motors) or gears, bringing the models to life with movement. Those who wish can even paint the objects with wood paint, allowing for a more personalized design.
