A NON-ENTRY EXAMPLE

I won't enter this, but I hope it can serve as an example.  I think it
captures the style of the other three ships pretty well, but it also "cheats"
a bit and uses at least 3 elements which didn't exist in 1979.  One is the

those ships as well, and I don't recall any that were terribly convincing.
Perhaps that's where I'll start building...

It's seeming more and more like the LEGO Space System product line (originally LEGOLAND Space, followed (...) (24 years ago, 27-Oct-00, to lugnet.build.contests, lugnet.space, lugnet.announce) !!
