Mista Ballista and many of our siege machines are built with whatever we find laying around. We make lots of trips to local scrapyards to buy parts on the cheap, and even find raw material by the side of the road. While this keeps costs down, we often have problems finding certain raw materials for reduced prices. The following people have graciously donated materials to help build Mista Ballista.
