MiniMage: Looks like a neat model.

I think that the attack animation could be 1 itzi bitsi faster. Right now it looks like it couldn't even nudge that boulder far away and it'd fall at a short distance.

 

[Remixer]

Indeed the attack animation looks a bit soft...

 

[Callahan]

Do you plan on making the missile boulder for this?

 

[Vinz]

Looks good! The flags and light too. Awesome job on this.

E: Now with the boulder, rating changed to 5/5.

 

[Misha]

I'm kinda miffed by the texture of those wheels.. is it possible to change them to some better texture? like.. some wooden shield for sides?

 

[Splub]

I love this catapult yo!

 

[Edge45]

This some wierd contraption, 4/5
Nice meshes, but the attack is looking a little odd, and I agree with Misha in the wheels, perphaps the Bandit's shield texture will do

 

[Vinz]

At first I didn't mind the wheels but on second thought it doesn't fit the model theme (awesome, heavy hitting thing). Also, would you mind putting up the missile as a contemporary upload?

 

[Direfury]

The missile should be available with the Catapult.

 

[HappyCockroach]

pretty cool.

i like it when people make war machines that aren't motionless. the animation job in this one is nearly impeccable.

but i'd agree with misha. those wheels' texture is kinda awkward. :/

I've always wondered about this unique siege machine...
What inspired you to create this piece? Was this from real-life?

I'm having a bit of an issue with the boulder. On it's death animation, it doesn't break apart like a projectile might - it keeps spinning for a while before disappearing. And because it's called BoulderSling_Portrait.mdx, it messes up the catapult's portrait, showing a spinning boulder or a flickering gray screen instead.
EDIT: I fixed the portrait bit by changing the path name in imports. Can't do anything about the death animation, though.
