Can you make a Lego Catapult?

Instructions -

• The base is wide and has extra bricks on the sides to stop it falling over.
• The arc brick above the catapult arm helps to keep the arm in place.
• Extra bricks around the LEGO girl stop her from slipping.
• Use a loom band or elastic band to stop the arm of the catapult flying off and give it an extra springy boost.
