| | | Steve, You seem to be keeping track of the inventory..... What all did you plan to have packed into the torso of SSClagorpion? I'd like to scale the size of the torso back by shortening the legs a bit. I'm feeling the scale is too large. If I have (...) (21 years ago, 9-May-04, to lugnet.technic)

I'm pretty sure facing the back of the Spybot is fine. The compressor size is up to you. Why not use (...) (21 years ago, 9-May-04, to lugnet.technic)
