Just wondering, How strong are the new ball joints in the Geonosian Fighter and AT-TE? I'm (slowly) building a mecha and debating with myself whether to buy some for leg joints. The mecha will be a quadped (sp?). I've heard the joints are fairly (...) (21 years ago, 6-Apr-03, to lugnet.build.mecha)

Mmm, crappy crap. This is great! I love the chunkiness of this guy. The head is well done- I like the personality it conveys. And I like the effect of those short, squat legs. The cockpit also looks good, too. Looks like a very gritty MOC. Great (...) (22 years ago, 6-Apr-03, to lugnet.build.mecha)
