(...) This is amazing, e! You bring a new standard to Moonbase and Mecha, hard to meet, but great to see. Love the detail of it and the industrial look of the whole place. Great to see the machine itself in this context! Love, Sylvi (20 years ago, 18-Jun-04, to lugnet.space, lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)
