Very impressive work Del.  Are you considering a larger scale version?

The shot was a bit high. You'll have to work on his accuracy, Del.  ::)   Very cool!!!   8)

Nah, I may tidy this one up a bit but the whole thing is a bit impractical, can't really let kids play with it or leave it out on display.
Bit of a one off really jsut for the fun of it.
Mind a big version with a chinese repating crossbow could be interesting! :o

I think it's too delicate and unreliable really for more than a demo piece  :-\ ...
I'm going to do some accuracy and range tests if it's a bit warmer tomorrow.

Really Cool Del. Man he'd look cool in a suit of armor. I'd love one and we played with much more dangerous things than that when I was a kid

Good job getting it done on MK II. I would have been up to MK VII or VIII ;)

That is cool and you must have a lot of time on your hands. ;DI think if you move the target higher he will be shooting "dead on".
