Home About Contact Guarantee Follow us Clearance Stirling Warwolf Trebuchet Kit The most highly detailed – and historically accurate – trebuchet kit available The Stirling Warwolf is generally thought of as history�s most powerful and famous trebuchet. Built under the auspices of Edward Longshanks – England�s first King – the Warwolf leveled a section of wall with one blow and victoriously ended the siege of Stirling Castle in 1304. Designed at 1/20th scale with an authentic, historically accurate "squirrel-cage" winch mechanism, block-trolley system and working trigger, frame-ladder (for re-cocking), half-lap and mortise and tenon joinery, this kit will bring physics and history alive for you in a hands� on, interactive way. This working model hurls its projectiles 40 to 60 feet (at 1/20 scale, that's the equivalent of 800 to 1200 feet for a life-sized trebuchet.) Highly detailed and computer cut for accuracy, the assembled trebuchet will measure 18" h at the main axle and 32" to the tip of the arm; 22" l; 18" w. The detailed instructions are complete with diagrams, photos, tuning tips and even historical notes. Kit Includes 140+ piece kit, wooden ball projectiles, and two scale-sized medieval warrior figures. Additional counterweight required. Tools needed include glue, a flat file and a 1/4" round or rat-tail file, clamps or rubber bands, household scissors and sandpaper to smooth any rough edges WARNING! This is a functional model intended for display and/or educational demonstrations of physics. It contains a fast moving arm and projectile that can cause injury if you make contact when firing. Use only under strict, competent adult supervision. About Us Delivery & Shipping Payment Returns About Us In 1942, Norman Edmund searched diligently through mail-order advertisements to find a specific lens required to feed his hobby. He was an amateur photographer, and it was difficult to find optics to support this pastime. What he learned from that experience prompted him to place his own ads, offering specialty lenses in a photography magazine. Almost immediately, other hobbyists looking for "hard to find" optics starting sending in orders and the Edmund Salvage Company was born.Business boomed in the years following World War II. The military provided an endless source for quality, surplus optics. The breath of product and ample inventory of specialty optical items were highly sought-after by science enthusiasts. To advertise new items, Norman started mailing a monthly newsletter to his customers the foundation for today's Edmund Scientific catalog. The coming of the space age saw an Edmund Scientific lens go to the moon as a critical component in the first color TV camera to record the Apollo landings. In response to customer inquiries for an affordable compact telescope, we developed the Astroscan� Telescope, winner of the 1976 Industrial Design Award. More than 30 years later, our Astroscan� endures as a living, working legend in the astronomical community. For over 50 years, Edmund Scientific experienced continued success at our Barrington, New Jersey location. A small optics company had grown into THE source for unusual science activities, toys, gifts, and demonstrations. Science hobbyists and engineering enthusiasts around the world know that Scientifics is the place to feed their ideas and inventions. Today, Scientifics Direct proudly operates as an independent business. Through our catalog and website, Scientifics continues to provide the latest and most unique science related items available.
