One day, a group of farmers in Delaware decided to have some fun by launching pumpkins using catapults. The result? What started as a quirky pastime eventually turned into a massive engineering spectacle. Today, enormous launching machines send pumpkins flying across the sky in a famous annual competition, with some catapults standing as tall as a two-story house. No dragons this time — but the show is still absolutely epic. Want to try your hand at medieval engineering? The Dragonskull Catapult is a great place to start.

Build a сlassic siege machine

With 104 precision-cut pieces in the kit, the Dragonskull Catapult combines hands-on DIY fun with a touch of fantasy. Inspired by the design of ancient Roman siege engines, this wooden model features a solid four-wheel base, a functional launching arm, and soft foam balls for safe launching. Dragon-bone inspired details and aged wood textures give the model a strong, mythical feel.

Made for dragon hunters. Or anyone bold enough.

The Dragonskull Catapult is a specialized 3D wooden model from WoodTrick, designed for an immersive, hands-on DIY experience. With 104 precision-cut pieces and an estimated build time of 1–2 hours, it’s rated START level (complexity 2 out of 5), making it an ideal choice for first-time builders. At the same time, its detailed design, smart mechanics, and interactive features offer a satisfying challenge for experienced makers as well.

Every kit includes a clear, step-by-step instruction manual to make the building process smooth and enjoyable from start to finish.

As part of our Mechanisms Series, the Catapult is an interactive model built for action — it launches soft polyurethane balls (8 included in the kit). To activate it, pull the launching arm down until it locks, place a ball in position, then move the rear control lever into the “forward” mode. Finished with a dragon skull accent and aged wood textures, the design is rich in fantasy detail and brings an adventurous atmosphere to the build.

The Dragonskull Catapult is made for creative builders who enjoy hands-on projects, a touch of fantasy, and the satisfaction of bringing mechanics to life. Crafted from eco-friendly wood and assembled without glue or special tools, it offers easy assembly, interactive mechanics, and the fun of creating a model that feels truly unique once completed.

Long ago, in the age of dragons, not all of them were the friendly kind — which meant dragon hunters always had work to do. But taking down an evil dragon required more than courage alone. Hunters needed clever tactics, a bit of luck, and powerful weapons touched by magic. The Dragonskull Catapult is a relic from those legendary times: a fantasy-inspired DIY model featuring a launching arm carved from the bones of a mighty dragon. Think you’re ready for the hunt?
