I'm speculating now, but I wonder how many pictures of
kids with genuine LEGO COTS models actually get sent in to the magazine and
get filtered out?  I mean, would you think of sending in a picture of a
known set?  Probably not.

Possibly I'm missing the point but I'd swear there was a kid with a
(genuine) Lego set built to the original design published in the
Australian/Asian equivalent of the mag sometime over the past 8 editions (2
years) which is as long as I've received it.  Unfortunately I'm allergic to
clutter and don't keep them :)  Anyone else in Aus see it and have a reference?

Yep:
Number 1, 1999: Chen Jia En (Hong Kong)has a model remarkably like the small
exploriens base [a couple of VERY minor differences]

Couldn't find last December, so that's probably the one you're thinking
of...though almost every magazine with pictures had at least one model that
was VERY close to an actual LEGO set...

(...) Indeed. The current issue has one kid displaying a collection of made up sets (including a Galaxy Explorer)... can't remember the name, but from the UK I think. Cheers Richie Dulin (22 years ago, 27-Mar-02, to lugnet.loc.uk, lugnet.dear-lego, lugnet.loc.au)
