Title: Not as cool as here, but still good sites
Post by Mikeel on Oct 23^rd, 2005 at 10:00am

Found a couple sites over the weekend. The first one is about medieval history. It also has a forum. My screen name there is Possible genius

http://www.shadowedrealm.com/

This one is about siege engines. I think it has been posted before but I'm not sure.

And this is just an artical someone posted on Shadowed Realm. I enjoyed it. :)

None of these are nearly as good as Chris's site here. But these have good info too. :)

Hi, glad to be here. Interesting forum. Is it limited only to discussions on handheld staff-slings?

Welcome to the forums Jieming ;D

Nope, we talk about all kinds of crazy weapons. Some of the people here have some pretty goofy ideas for weapons. Some of us are serious nutcases ( no offence...everyone :P ;D )

Just check out the "Other Primitive Weapons" section of the forum

Yes I am but I'm from Malaysia though I'm currently working in Singapore. ;)

Thanks y'all for the warm welcome. My interest is actually in siege engines.

Y'all from a Chinese guy? Must be from Southern China ;D Hey While I have your undivided attention, how about looking for some local indigenous slingers in your neck of the woods. Maybe they might have a local made sling or two that they would like to part with? ;D Keep in touch.

Hmm... in my neck of the woods, they headhunted and used blowpipes. ;D

Well you're all set to broaden their horizens. Introduce your neighbors to the joys of slinging. :)

Hey!! Liang_Jieming. Cool to see ya here.
Alot of slinging and most primitive weapons are discussed here. I've been wondering, what does your avator mean?

Here is a photo gallery of some of Liang_Jieming's stuff. http://forums.shadowedrealm.com/index.php?automodule=gallery&cmd=sc&cat=1
His stuff is the first 8 pictures. He makes some REALLY cool models. Some of them I have never heard of before.

Hi!

This forum looks like a great place! Nice feel to it.

My Avatar? That's my name! Or more accurately, that's a seal of my name in "seal" script which reads Liang Jie Ming. :)

I started building the SiJiao Pao on shadowedrealm if you're interested. Will be giving the same commentary as I build it like I did with the previous models. :)
