Barbara and I have "Kill Dr. Lucky", it's a hoot. We also have "Escape from
Elba" and "Spree", which we haven't played yet. Why? I dunno, maybe to
preserve the original packaging... ;-)

I dunno who came up with that first but it sure looks like the same one Bram
has!

Not quite, I think Bram has a 2x2 clear tile on the copier's surface.
But it's very close indeed!

Similar, but not quite. The again, some details on mine were inspired by
another that I saw, I think...
The other models are pretty nice. This render was especially nice:

Evidently James Ernest is not only a fan of LEGO, but a fan of L3P too.

Are you sure that's L3P? I don't think so. Look at the control stick
on the top, for example. An L3P'd version of this would have visible
polygons, I think. Or is the scale too small for the polygons to be
visible?
And what about that small dish? There's something wrong about it. I
don't think and L3P'd version would look like that. (Aren't the edges
too thin?)
Either way, it does look like a POV-Ray rendering. He probably used
media for the light beams, right? If they weren't added afterwards in
a graphics program, that is.
