I have built a large scale Raven (eyes are 2x2 radar dishes, toes are each 1x3 33 slopes). I would kind of like to use it in this upcoming WAMALUG BrikWars game. I think however if it is to be used, I either forfiet all my other troops, or make it a (...) (23 years ago, 20-Mar-02, to lugnet.gaming)
