Zvezda Trebuchet

Finally after a very long search I´ve obtained the Zvezda Trebuchet. I found it for sale at Kalfakis Model Hobbies in Athens..and I can only HIGHLY commend the service provided. Even as a first time customer, every one of my questions was answered,  after I put the wrong (Too high) price in I was E-mailed that I was going to pay too much and  the delivery was prompt. A big thankyou to Costas for the excellent service ....:-D 
He has another 5-6 Zvezda trebuchets for sale...so if you´re after one..be quick ;-D
All three together..Faith, Hope and Charity. From left to right, Miniart, Fredericus-rex and Zvezda


Hello to Jen and Ben from Jen & Ben´s Wargaming Figures blog. If only I could paint as well as they can!!!!!!!!!

    They look like they could all do a fair bit of damage. And well done to Costos at Kalfakis Models!!

    A rather splendid piece of kit, but not sure you would want to receive any charitable donations from this lady!

    Good of you to help stave off the Greek bankruptcy! :)
    They are all fine models, and the names Faith Hope and Charity are wonderful. I would ask for terms the day I saw those three going up outside my walls.
    Cheers,
    Mike

      Thanks paul.
      I´ll have to get my "big Bertha" pics up. Just got the thing finished, it´s still in the test firing stages. I´ll try and get a film made as well.
