Now that we’ve rebuilt

the tower, we could use

something to defend

ourselves a bit beer.

Why not build a catapult?

That should scare The

Destructor and any other

monsters about.

Ah yes.

briiant

idea, Megs!

The catapult is a

bit complicated

and requires

some string and

strong ruer

bands. Watch

out for flying

debris when you

use it and don’t

aim at anybody!

Building Tip

Putting the rubber

band on can be

a bit tricky. First

thread it under

the 2×6 plate and

pull it over the 1×2

handle, and then

adjust it on the

catapult.

BUILDING JOURNAL

Marco has created a very cool world!

He often finds inspiration in online building

contests. Before he starts building any

structures, he uses minifigures to come

up with new characters, which are

essential to his models. He thinks about

what kind of environment they would live

in, like snow, mountains, or swamplands,

and considers the elevation. After he

has built the terrain, he imagines the kind

of buildings that would exist there. He

plans it all out in his head and then builds

each model to suit its environment. When

I build, I should consider not only the

buildings but their surroundings and how

they flow with each other.

Building Tip

You can add more rubber bands to

the catapult to increase its power, but

adding too many could break it apart.
