I just wanted to show all the non-LCAD people that I do build all my models IRL, and I also wanted to do a cool scene, well it looks like I didn't succeed... ;-( (...)

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | There are such things as low-yield nukes, which have a small blast range and are used on smaller targets. The US military has "man packs," so called because they can be carried in a backpack. They are of approximate strength that they can destroy a (...) (24 years ago, 30-Aug-00, to lugnet.build.mecha)
