The pictures of the products in most cases have figures in them Knowing that most of the non halfling/goblin/dwarf figures are 25 to 28mm tall you could extrapolate sizes from that

ah there was a great guide on how to build a trebuchet on this site, when the library is back up you may want to get idea's from that. It's a good stage by stage guide with pictures all over it. There was another guide in one of the old magazines.. I could maybe dig it up & tell you what issue if your interested (if i find it that is!)
I have the Isengard balista if your still needing measurements. Good to see you straight into building! You'll need to set up a WIP sometime, I spend 99% of my time on that section lol

Catapult is a little over 4" from front to back, Trebuchet around 4.5", and 2.5" tall. I don't think this would be a breach of any forum guidelines, so there's no need to worry about that.

Concerning that trebuchet article, If you want to take a look at it shoot me a PM and I'll send it to you. It's a step-by-step construction guide, so the dimensions are all there.
