I love seeing unconvetional uses for unconventional pieces. This is one of the best examples of this I have seen yet for Bionicle bits. I have enjoyed all of your alphabet project ships, and look forward to seeing what you come up with for the rest (...) (23 years ago, 25-Mar-02, to lugnet.starwars)
