Build a battalion from the mind of one of history’s great thinkers!
Build a battalion of ancient military marvels with this great wooden model construction kit from National Geographic. True to the original designs, these wooden models utilize the laws of physics to launch projectiles for many times their own lengths. All three models actually work, when fully assembled, just like the real deal.
Kit comes with everything you need to build all three models — the bombard, the ballista, and the catapult.
