20180904_194006 by John Thumb, on FlickrFalk showed me an LDD of a Mech frame someone had produced, and after a few weeks of waiting and several hours of trying to find parts I'd forgotten. I've produced my first proper Mech. I thought a while about who to give it to, despite the army already being huge, I figured I was most experienced and comfortable working with the white and black of the Imperiya.
