I LOVE all of the 90s space sub categories. I'm TRYING to do something with
my M:Tron coalition vs. the Blacktron Alliance....but I'm so busy with
school it's really hard to find time and money to spend on that sort of
stuff. (Being a music major sometimes sucks). Classic Space is cool, don't
get me wrong, I'd love to have every C.S. set, but that's of course after I
complete my M.T., B.T. (1 and 2), Futuron, et. al, sets. I think Lego
revolutionized the space genre when the visors appeared (in space, I don't
know if they were in any other genre before then) in Blacktron 1.

Maybe sometime during this summer when all I have to worry about is work and
practice, I'll download the instructions for those two sets and see what I
can do with them on MLCAD. Unless of course, you wanted to have that
project to yourself, which I understand. It'd be a fun thing to do....

Again...sounds like a summer project to me. However, (and I think this has
done before, correct me if I'm wrong) BT1 could go to BT2, with a little
revisions of course, I think Battrax would look really incredible with new
colors and some mechanical/visual changes. "Battrax Mark 2" it could be
called, or something like that.
Anyway, I'm rambling and mostly agreeing with what you said, so I'll cut it
short now. :-)
Keep up the good work!
