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.
