Publisher's Synopsis
Make your own Small Launchers...all of these projects aim to fling small objects (safely) across the room, either by blowing or firing. Starting with a simple blowpipe, they include different types of bow one with a sprung handle like a real bow along with a spear gun and musket that shoots potato pieces by air power. Tabletop Battles is a fun, engaging and unique series that gives clear step-by-step guides to making a whole range of mini-weapons based on those used from medieval times onwards. Three of the books group similar types of weapon together and feature eight to ten projects of varying complexity, beginning with the very simplest designs. The last book in the series shows how to make mini- fortifications and siege weapons, and deploys models from the other three books for launching attacks and counter-attacks on a tabletop battlefield.
