The Catapulta Paper Model - by Renova Models - Catapulta Medieval

A catapulta was a Roman machine for throwing arrows and javelins, 12 or 15 feet (4.6 m) long, at the enemy. The name comes from the Greek (katapeltes), because it could pierce or 'go through' (kata) a shield (pelta). The design was probably inherited, along with the ballista, from the Greek armies. - Wikipedia

The Real Thing - A Replika

Catapultas são mecanismos de cerco que utilizam um braço para lançar um objeto a uma grande distância, evitando assim possíveis obstáculos como muralhas e fossos. Foi inventada possivelmente pelos gregos, durante o reinado de Dionísio I, como arma de guerra.
O nome é derivado do grego καταπάλτης, composto de κατά "abaixo, contra" e πάλλω "vibrare".
Originalmente, a palavra catapulta referia-se a um lançador de pedras, enquanto balista referia-se a um lançador de dardos, porém, através dos anos, os dois termos trocaram de significados. Catapultas eram usualmente montadas no lugar do cerco, e um exército carregava algumas ou nenhuma de suas peças consigo porque madeira era bastante disponível no lugar. - Wikipedia

Indonesian Helicak Vehicle Paper Model - by Royaje Papercraft

An unusual Lambretta/Rickshaw type contraption from Indonesia, these Helicaks (because they look like a Helicopter, presumably) are one of the odder Lambretta conversions I've seen. They were introduced in Jakarta in the early '70s, but by the late '80s were deemed unsafe, as in an impending accident, the drivers tended to abandon ship, leaving the passengers trapped in the fibreglass cab to take the brunt of the collision. - lambrettista.posterous.com




Uma espécie de Lambreta ou Rickshaw feita na Indonésia, esta Helicak (chamdas assim talvez por causa de parecerem um pequeno helicóptero), é uma das conversões mais estranhas feitas com Lambretas que eu já vi. Elas foram introduzidas em Jacarta no início dos anos 70, mas no final dos anos 80 foram consideradas muito inseguras: quando batiam as Helicaks, os motoristas tendiam a abandonar o navio, deixando os passageiros presos na cabine de fibra de vidro para fugir da responsabilidade da colisão. - lambrettista.posterous.com

RavensBlight Main Street Diorama - by Ray O`Bannon

The Hearse

"One of the most interesting features of RavensBlight Township is the fact that the entire town has been known to vanish from time to time, reappearing in different places. It may sometimes be found in the Midwest, while at other times it's apparently located along the East or West coast. The town sometimes exists a few miles from an old country road in Minnesota, while at other times you'll find it resting in the Florida swamplands. What happens to visitors in this odd little town when it occasionally vanishes has never been fully determined. So here's a version you can assemble and locate wherever you wish. You can choose either a sunset or moonlit sky backdrop, and alternate signs are included so you can design your own haunted little Main Street. There's even a miniature hearse in case you need to make a quick exit." - Ray O`Bannon
