While there is a possibility that the printed blue canopy exists in DAT form
(GIVE IT UP!), the rest is true and I realized this when I posted the
contest announcement.
I would suggest that CAD designers use the readily available minihead
figures with messy hair, like 3626BP40.DAT (female) and 3626BP30.DAT (male).
I don't think it would annoy anyone if a CAD designer wanted to pop in some
orange hair in place of the black in file 3626BP40.DAT, or white/grey hair
instead of the black in file 3626BP30.DAT; but it will not be a factor for
or against anyone. Clearly, a regular trans-orange visor will do in place
of the more theme specific one.
As for the other missing elements. See more below.

No, this is untrue. See above and please consider the many LDraw elements
for the Ice Planet 2002 theme that ARE available.

Yes, even mock-ups would serve and it would be great if someone came forward
with even some of the missing elements -- but, this is not necessary to
succeed in the contest.
Where one lacks for certain elements one must use ingenuity in their stead.
No one wants to see any of the existing Ice Planet 2002 sets recreated --
we already have them on our shelves and in our hearts. What is needed here
are the many designs as yet undreamed of.
Dig deep Jonathan and fellow CAD designers, there are designs and ideas
inside each of you that no one else can even touch.
