| | | Yea! Mass-destruction at it's greatest! Does it support it's weight well or does it fall after 2 minutes (My mecha have been know to do this...) BTW The pictures suck! J/K Accually you did a pretty good job photoing all that black! Keep 'em comin'! (...) (24 years ago, 29-Dec-00, to lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.space)
