soccerkid6 Posted March 22, 2015 Posted March 22, 2015 This is a counter to Kai NRG's build: link LittleJohn countered Garmadon's build here: link The design was based off of JKBrickwork's ballista and medieval ballista images. The ballista uses only official LEGO parts. Two twisted 'fishing pole' strings are what gives the ballista its shooting capability. The Ulander's fiery darts were proving rather devastating, punching a hole in the outer wall of Ras-el-akhen. But with each shot their ballista grew drier and more flammable, until as one of them lit the bolt for the next shot, the ballista burst into flame: Video: It shoots 18 inches, not counting the distance the bolt slides after it hits the ground . Otherwise, about 2 feet. I put K12 as the location in the title, to mirror Kai's post. I'm not sure if the attack was moved to a different location, as Ska has it listed for H5 in the guerrilla thread. If you see something out of order per the challenge rules, please let me know. C&C welcome Quote
mccoyed Posted March 22, 2015 Posted March 22, 2015 Hah! It really fires. Love the separate terrain pieces. Feels like a wargame setup. Quote
Bregir Posted March 22, 2015 Posted March 22, 2015 SK, this is brilliant - I like your take on the ballista (And the fact that it works too is just great) and the mirroring of Kai's terrain (in "spots" so to say). A worthy counter! May the high Council forever prevail - For the Republic! Quote
Jacob Nion Posted March 22, 2015 Posted March 22, 2015 Ha, fantastic counter! It's very smart how you explained the failing of the ballista. And the shooting function is awesome; also it's JKB's design, it's definitely hard to copy and needs a serious level of technical understatement. Quote
Robin Creations Posted March 22, 2015 Posted March 22, 2015 Nice job! I like how you did the fire Quote
LittleJohn Posted March 22, 2015 Posted March 22, 2015 Excellent ballista! The rock formations and fire are superb Quote
Halhi 141 Posted March 22, 2015 Posted March 22, 2015 Nice build! The little rock segments that aren't attached to the main base really provide a nice aesthetic. Quote
