I don't think I have any instructions on scaled down models of these.
However, these files in my Florilegium have a number of referances that
have diagrams and photos of the real items.

In the COMBAT section:
siege-engines-msg (82K)  2/28/00    Catapults, trebuchets. Period and
modern.

In the ARCHERY section:
crossbows-msg     (38K) 12/ 2/98    Period and SCA crossbows.
Iolos-book-rev    (14K)  1/10/97    Reviews of "Iolo's First Book of
Crossbows".

In the ARCHERY-FAQ section:
crossbow-FAQ      (54K)  9/ 6/96    Crossbow history, definitions,
construction.

The Florilegium is on the web at: http://www.florilegium.org
