Holy Cow!!!! I saw this while up with Geordan yesterday but didn't get
around to replying till today. That beast is amazing, I love the tankish
look and the missiles on the legs, they provide awesome shapes. Gosh you are
such an amazing builder. The front madible guns are amazing as well, I like

| (...) Thanks Tim! Yeah, that angled ammunition drum did come out better than I originally thought. Before I made it, I was tinkering with a rectangular ammunition box, but that went nowhere (not enough tiles to cover the exposed studs). Anyways, (...)
