OK, the problem is starting with road.ldr. That makes it the first model in the
file, which is always what L3P uses to generate the POV file. And because you
only added road.ldr and figure.ldr to the 3rd model, it never gets rendered.
What you need to do before step 6 is:
5a. Click Multipart / Model sequence from the manu
5b. Select "New Test" at the end of the list
5c. Click "Move up" until its at the top of the list
Then save the MPD, and your new model will be the first one in the file, so L3P
will convert it correctly.
