(...) I would say, first thing to do is check what parts you have. Look around to see what creations are around and see if you can build them. For example, see if you have some click hinges. Then check around and see what Mechs use them and see if (...) (20 years ago, 14-Jan-05, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)
