Re: Buzzbomb's Glaive Battle Tank
That is a wickedly cool design, love the way the greebles made themselves a home. The best thing about this topic is seeing how items get repurposed to create such wonderful inspiring creations. Keep up the good work. ![Happy Soldier :)s](./images/smilies/armata_PDT_01.gif)
