The trebuchet is a siege machine from the medieval warfare arsenal. It was an offensive weapon designed to smash walls, but it could also be used in defensive mode controlling access to sensitive areas suvh as a bridge to the castle or the gates itself.
I’m not going to say more, there are plenty of references on the net and Osprey published an interesting book on the subject.
I found a while ago this beautiful model done by the Dutch Sheila Mertens. It is a kind offer still available at:

The texture is very attractive and the model very easy to build.
It comes with a jig that is quite helpful.
When assembled the model roughly measures 30 X 40cm (12” X 15”)
