If it makes you feel any worse, I hit upon that leg design while trying to adapt your A66's legs for the Bison :P This was easier to build than it was to CAD. I'm starting to see the makings of a space freighter in the torso now. Travis Dickinson (...) (23 years ago, 2-Jun-01, to lugnet.build.mecha)

Cool, I got 5.0 with my scanner and it's still not the latest version. I've been teaching myself to use it. Whoa 2.0! dust,moths and all! I'm really starting to get into the whole Graphic Art thing. I don't prefer the L-cad stuff, but adding effects (...) (23 years ago, 1-Jun-01, to lugnet.build.mecha)
