gasser59 Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 (edited) This would appear to not be humanly possible as with your other builds but you manage to pull it off and pull it off with class. At 1/8 scale, I'll bet its really big. What is the overall length of this magnificent build? Edited June 12, 2017 by gasser59 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
