Want to know a funny thing? That ballista won’t shoot very well Both of the ropes are twisted the same way, so both of the arms will get pulled in the same direction by the tension in the ropes. If you pull the string back, you’ll be going with the twist on the left-hand side (as seen from behind), and probably eventually unravel the rope thereThere are thick twisted ropes between the frames that give the tension to the crossbow arms. They can be seen here….

Doesn’t detract from a very nice model, of course. I like the way it looks properly like wood, with some different colours of planks etc.
