About this item

Make your own Traps and Triggers...these models use elastic bands as the triggering device to release energy quickly and dramatically. Learn how to make a mine and mortar to unleash tiny marshmallow; an elastic powered helicopter; and several booby trap devices that can be hidden in a fruit bowl to produce all kinds of explosive effects. 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.
