How UGears Archballista-Tower Works

This new UGears creation consists of two separate pieces: the Archballista and the Tower, both, fully functionable and movable. The Archballista is made of two modules: the base, that provides a stable support for a unit, and a firing component, that actually shoots wooden bolts, up to four bolts in a round. Use traverse and elevation mechanisms to set a required angle in horizontal and vertical panels to ensure the best aim. The lever of winding mechanism on the right side of Archballista functions as a trigger to launch bots at the target when the aiming is set. The firing part of this module is detachable, and can also be installed on the top of the Tower. Few intriguing construction features are hidden under the delicately ornamented tower. The gear on a side of the tower activates the raising/lowering mechanism that extends the tower to the second level revealing a spiral staircase and interior structure.

This model is unique because it can be used as a single module to reenact medieval siege games and as a two-piece in multiple-player artillery battle when the Archballista charges against the Tower.

I would recommend this to a friend!
This is the second kit I have purchased. This one is for my 15 year old Grandson. He is into D&D and it seemed like a good fit for the game and all the characters he has purchased. All in all I think that these kits are much better than the competition.

Great Model!

This is the third UGears model that I’ve built. It is a wonderfully complex ballista and tower, filled with beautiful details. Like others have said, I am not too fond of the toothpicks and a lot of hand strength is needed to press the pieces together. I found that if I used wax liberally on most of the joints and toothpicks, the pieces went together easier. I love how the ballista works, and the cats love to chase the bolts as I shoot them from the tower. Thanks for a fun kit! I am waiting for delivery for my next kit.

Invigorating piece Aa a high school history teacher an a professor of philosophy I can appreciate this unique reincarnation of ancient warship piece. Teaching history to high school kids utilizing text books and printed material is a challenging task. This is when models like Archballista and Tower come extremely handy. They offer a unique hands-on experience and help to submerge into the atmosphere of medieval times. I look forward to discovering more exciting ideas to enhance learning process via the visual elements such as Archballista and Tower.
