Wow! Really nice picture! Did you use focal blur to make the hills unsharp? One thing though: How come the lego bricks aren't reflecting the stars (and each other)? Or maybe they do, but I can't see it. --Tobias (...) (24 years ago, 31-Oct-00, to lugnet.build.contests, lugnet.space)

(...) Since no one seems to have anything to say about the scans, I've uploaded some clearer pics of the images before they were "scanned".

(...) Arghgggghh! Please don't post things like this without a disclaimer noting clearly that it's NOT A REAL SET!

Oh, BTW -- it's playing with fire to try to pick "realistic" set numbers unless you know the product line REALLY well. A set the size of the one you made would not have a number like 6888, but would have a number like 6924, 6936, or 6945. Put that (...) (24 years ago, 1-Nov-00, to lugnet.build.contests, lugnet.space)

(...) I don't want to rain on the parade, but does not the use of the red Lego logo on the cover of the "instructions" actually violate the "Fairplay" rules established by Lego? Jude (24 years ago, 1-Nov-00, to lugnet.publish)

(...) I take it that my model is too big to have a 688x number? Well, 6888 was the number I used for my Pentapterigoid fighter, so rather than looking up more numbers, I just used that. So I should try to remember that 6922, 6924, 6934-7, and 6944-8 (...) (24 years ago, 1-Nov-00, to lugnet.build.contests, lugnet.space)

I made a movie once, with a Futuron guy flying on a spaceship over a classic space landscape -entirely in POV-ray. (The movie got lost when my HD crashed, so I can't show it to you.) The hills were easy to make; use a heightfield! If you don't know (...) (24 years ago, 7-Nov-00, to lugnet.build.contests, lugnet.space, lugnet.publish, lugnet.cad.ray)
