It's not completely sealed so to speak but looks good (...) (23 years ago, 20-Mar-02, to lugnet.build.mecha)

| (...) Thanks Matt! The Minifig legs as hands is a idea I've seen before. I really only saw it in the flesh until Mark Sandlin showed it to me. I'm not sure who first came up with the idea but I'd give em credit here if I knew. Roll cage sort of (...) (23 years ago, 20-Mar-02, to lugnet.build.mecha)

| Thanks Chris! I've always liked the idea of mechs being big industrial things... You know, Beast is about the same size as the Truks and as the Sprite too. Maybe I should do a lego Mecha soccer team. (URL) by** (URL) cha think? Wanna play? I can see (...) (23 years ago, 21-Mar-02, to lugnet.build.mecha)
