Lego is an exciting toy not only for children, but also for adults. However, over time, it gets boring to collect the same buildings or objects according to the instructions, and sometimes some details are simply lost, and then the turn of experiments comes. So, if you were looking for how to make a Lego crossbow, and a functioning and simple model, then this article is definitely for you.
Preparatory stage
Since this article is for those who do not have a special kit to create this model, some details will only be approximate, they can be replaced with longer or shorter ones. Dimensions that will be useful in the manufacture of a crossbow:
- three pieces 2 x 16 or one piece 2 x 16 and one piece 4 x 16;
- one piece 4 x 6;
- two pieces 2 x 6;
- one piece 4 x 4;
- two tall pieces 2 x 4;
- one piece 2 x 1;
- four sliding (that is, without fasteners or bulges on top) parts 2 x 4 or eightsquares 2 x 2;
- a few sliding parts that, when connected, should give two strips 16 x 1 long;
- a few flat pieces that together should form two 16 x 1 pieces;
- elastic band for banknotes.
To make projectiles, you can simply connect three 2 x 4 parts, or you can use shorter parts.
Crossbow assembly
The first stage. In the middle of the 2 x 16 piece, on top, position the 4 x 16 piece (two 2 x 16 pieces) so that they form a “T” with the hat thinner than the base.
Second stage. On one of the 4 x 6 pieces, position the 4 x 4 piece so that it is on the edge, but does not go beyond. Under the resulting part, fasten with a 2 x 1 piece on the opposite edge in a similar position in the middle. Turn over the base assembled in the previous step and attach the resulting part to the fastening.
Third stage. On each of the tall 2 x 4 pieces, attach 2 x 6 rectangles, these will be the side mounts for the elastic. Fasten each of the resulting parts from above opposite each other on a thin base.
The fourth stage. On the sides of the wider base, make tracks one division wide. On the unfilled middle, fasten the sliding pieces 2 x 4 (or any available format), also cover the sides with the sliding pieces.
The fifth stage. Fasten the elastic. Bring it under the protruding part 2 x 1, then bring it forward and circle the side fasteners and place it on the base.
If desired, thisthe crossbow can be modified, for example, to add a handle to it.
Now you know how to make a crossbow out of Lego.
