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

Absolute amazing

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

Love it Del!
When you have a few thousand made you'll be ready to storm the castle.

Love it! Any chance we're gonna see a dressed up version on the classic raffle table??

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's absolutely brilliant!

The medieval Luddite in me is losing his mind!

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".

Can I request a full size archer with a flaming arrow?
-
Wow! Very Cool!

I wanted to do that but was too impatient to get the video done... :laugh:

I admire your skill at being able to put it all together like that. I will watch the video quite a few times more.

Thanks for the generous comments guys :)
There are some subtleties that I expect you guys will have noticed (but not the target archers ;) ) ,I especially like the canted bow and the curve of the bow arm, which can be seen as he's rotated in the final section of the video.
Some people say the head looks like me :laugh:
I can post some close ups if there is any particular bit someone wants to see.
BTW, just tried it at 5 yards, the arrow flight was good, still wasnt at point on range! The arrow didn't stick, bounced back almost as far! :)

I noticed the canted bow Del. The tiller of bow pretty darn good too. Shooting form looks good really is very impressive
