I'm glad this is real models only. I'm not very impressed by a CAD model
which is just a color edit of another model. Not very much creativity.
of course this category doesn't represent that much creativity,  though
I look forward to seeing what models people decide on (that's probably
the main creative portion, figuring out a model which would look really
cool or really disturbing in Ice Planet 2002 colors [you may want to
consider having two votes in this category, for coolest and most
disturbing...]).

I hope my job situation is settled by then and that I can find the time
to create. I'm sorry I missed the BTI contest, but IP2002 is my second
most favorite space theme.

Fortunately trans-orange has appeared in other places. It's at least
easier to get hold of than trans-yellow...
