... could we perhaps, Armorama's Filipino Contingent, build, as a joint project, a working trebuchet*? hehehehe

*A trebuchet is a siege engine, much like a catapult. With it, we could fling some heavy ordnance up to several hundred feet away! MWUHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

Hehehe! What for? Destroying a nearby model of another person in a competition #:-) ? Maybe I'll help.

SR: Nope. Laying siege to any model shop that doesn't give us at a significant discount for anything that we desire. MWUHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Oh my! What a dandy Idea!

If I remember correctly, there was a 'bit' on trebuchet's sa TechTV the other day.

Hey isn't Trebuchet a font-name? It looks pretty cool, too.

Nope, I simply disagree. Destroying the whole shop. Why not assasinate them and get the models out of there!

Ah yes!

And some battering rams, a few dozen ballistas, and perhaps a Trojan Horse with a time delayed NBC weapon of some sort.
