[QUOTE="aco175, post: 7640180, member: 27385"] I loved Crossbows and Catapults. I recall using better rubber bands to make the catapult shoot farther and harder. I remember my father having the smaller army soldiers, maybe the 1/72 scale that come on the plastic sheet that you punch out. He ended up mailing away for the knights and barbarians and romans. They look half the size next to the lead minis from the DnD store, but worked well for monsters. I painted the romans white for skeletons and said the armor and shields were from the old empire. There was also another toy that had a mold for making animals with some sort of rubber. We melted the rubber in the brick sized kiln and it poured over the mold. If we have not burned ourselves by then we could take out the hot tray and have the animals that were about twice the size of the minis so they worked well for giant animals. [/QUOTE]
