Feedback on catapult

It took me about 35 minutes to make this catapult. Any feedback that I could use to improve it?

Maybe remove all the nails on the side of the catapult because it doesn’t make any sense.
Add the nails on the front instead. Also, make the wheels a little bit bigger and fix the gap on the bowl thingy.

Looks good! I do however, think that the arm and bowl look out of proportion to the rest of the build. Unless that is the style, I would suggest shrinking the bowl down and possibly extending the arm.

I think the nails make sense, they’re just not in logical positions currently.

As for my feedback, I really like the use of negative parts for the catapult itself. I may also recommend redesigning it to have a more catapult-y pulley system, although I may be completely misdirecting you with my lack of knowledge on catapults. I do feel like you’re going for somewhere between a really crude catapult (I get this from the random nails) and a very technical catapult (the rest of it looking pretty neat). For more personality you may want to add nails on other parts of the wood and slightly skew the plank here. Check the image below for what I mean.

It is well made but a little blocky.

Looks neat!
Perhaps extend the arm to be a bit longer?
And also rotate the plank that will stop the arm when launched to the angle the arm will be.

the central part is too short to shoot you should extend the arm is very small
