Very well done, Bruce! It's great to see some more creations from you! And I am sure I speak for many people when I say that no one makes that great creatures as you. It's espicially nice, as LEGO's own Dewback has somewhat wrong dimensions and (...) (20 years ago, 28-Jul-04, to lugnet.starwars, FTX)

Heh, these are pretty nifty.

Nice Dew.
