Trebuchet is a project on LEGO CUUSOO created by marko on October 4th, 2011. It features a trebuchet that is both functional and historically accurate. A video showcasing its functions can be found here.

Proposed model consists of around 120 parts. Minifig scale. Powerful addition to any medieval army (past, present or future LEGO castle themes) laying siege from land or sea. Fun and educational.
