Ok, everyone... I'd like to organize a contest for creating non-military
Space vehicles. The first thing I need to do is come up with categories.

Here are the ones I can think of:

Personal -  Space Cars, Family vehicles, etc.

Commercial - Moving vans, shuttles, FedEx vans, freighters

Service - Police, Medical, Sanitation, etc.

I figure I'd have minifig and microfig scale for each category, and then
one single overall winner.

Sound good? Do I need more categories?

LMKWYT,

~Mark

(...) Sounds great! I'd love to see lots of people enter a contest like this--great opportunity for lots of small unique models. (Well, I doubt a freighter would be small, but the rest would probably be smaller than most other space fighters, (...) (24 years ago, 8-Jun-00, to lugnet.space)

(...) Those sound great.. the only other thing might be an "Other" catagory, one that features anything else that is undeniably non-military. And it might be a catch-all category for anything remaining or else there's too many categories. Now... (...) (24 years ago, 9-Jun-00, to lugnet.space)

(...) At least one more category is needed: Movie inspired creations. As I was building a personal transportation vehicle I came up with a problem: This enging is just too cool to hide away inside a vehicle. As I continued building, I realized that (...) (24 years ago, 9-Jun-00, to lugnet.space)

(...) [snip] (...) I might suggest "Dioramma"(sp?) or "Interiors". A bunch a stuff at once. <grin> For all the cargo bay, space ports, and fighter prep' type models. (24 years ago, 9-Jun-00, to lugnet.space)

Are cad models acceptable? I have some cool ideas for ships that I could build and enter... Also as well as minifig and microfig scales, dont forget a class for ships that are at scales larger than minifig. (24 years ago, 9-Jun-00, to lugnet.space)

Where would one put spacecraft that move lots of people at once like space buses, cruise spaceships (what I am planing to model) and so on? (24 years ago, 9-Jun-00, to lugnet.space)

Looks like im going to have to finsh my microfig scale cargo ship, either that or take the guns of one of my other ships. (...) (24 years ago, 9-Jun-00, to lugnet.space)

Just curious: Are you willing to consider space stations? Not bases (ground installations), but "2001:ASO", or C.J.Cherryh type orbital stuff? Otherwise I'm going to have to put engines on a research station :) It's - uh - a *science* ship. Yeah, (...) (24 years ago, 9-Jun-00, to lugnet.space)

(...) ...I would like to see a 'microfig' scale category using the scale I use on the Intuise (URL) (aka, a person = 1 1x1 cylinder +2 round plates) (idea borrowed from Sproaticus who borrowed it from others :-) I like working in that scale (at (...) (24 years ago, 12-Jun-00, to lugnet.space)
