The Quest to Build a Stargate…Chevron 6 Will Not Engage…
Chevron 6 would have encoded today on my Stargate build but as I began working on the last section I quickly realized that I would not have enough of the small elements left to finish off that section, so I’m now trying to decide what will be my best option to finish off those pieces.Read More
