| | | Hi gang, I present to you the TerranMech. I came about with a challenge to use the "useless" bionicle pieces. So after some trial and error, I came up with this: Deep Links: (URL) Moderation: (URL) ball joints work nice for pose-ability, but they (...) (22 years ago, 11-May-03, to lugnet.build)
