…a little late to mention it to you, but there was a full size one for sale on eBay recently, too bad no one bought it.

Well, I have swords, battles axes and maces, I guess all I need to round out my collection is either some sort of torture device (Pear of Anguish?) or I guess I could settle for a life size ballista. Granted, I don’t carry £25,000.00 around in my bank account often (what is that, $2,000,000 with the state of the dollar?), but it’s a nice thought anyway. Anyway, this was built for a BBC program called “Building the Impossible” back in 2002. It only takes a crane and some elbow grease to reassemble, but then again, it can’t be cheap to ship across sees, can it?
