CAD questions: 1) Is posting the DAT/MPD files for the model(s) along with the renderings sufficent (I'm using Brickshelf), or do they need to be e-mailed to The Scrutinizer separately? 2) My pilot is an 'unofficial' model.

I can't speak for others, but it wouldn't really bother me much if there weren't any obvious (ie, with the triangular blacktron insignia) pieces in the model.

I don't think we'll worry too much about amount of pieces, really. A minifig counts as one piece, I would think. If your model ends up being right around the border, then contact us and we'll decide which category it will go in. But I don't think (...) (25 years ago, 19-Nov-01, to lugnet.build.contests)
