Castles in the Middle Ages, as before, were almost impregnable. Conquerors who wanted to take the old defense for geostrategic reasons had to besiege it and thus force it to give up. The forerunners of the ballista, a Greco-Roman throwing machine that could be equipped with stones, lead balls or incendiary devices, were torsion guns, which were used as early as 400 BC. BC were used.
The “Tower Ballista” model kit from UGEARS®, which consists of a rifle tower with a ballista , once again puts the defensive walls of the defiant castle to the test and offers gripping history lessons to follow. The steampunk-oriented models from the brand manufacturer offer lever effects, rollers and gear mechanisms in detail. The postmodern illustrative piece is therefore more than pure theory, but rather a replica in action. This small work of art walks on the battlefields of well-known history and reenacts it in a reenactment. This is about every hit and every single one of the 292 individual parts, which must in no way lose their function. The capture of the castle is therefore just a sign of the times and becomes more obvious with each successive hit.
