Hi Paul!  GREAT DESIGN!  I did not compete in teh design contest, but I have
only one question:  Are we able to use non-classic pieces?  The wheels you
used as engines are perfect, but I don't know if they were part of the
classic series.  But I still much prefer the way you did it.  :)

Does anybody knwo if the wheels are avalable in classic sets?

(...) It's not disallowed by the rules, but they try to discourage it. (It is, however, specifically prevented by the rules to use a non-classic-Space minifig.) (...) Those wheels didn't appear until the early 1990's -- 1992 IIRC. --Todd (26 years ago, 28-Nov-00, to lugnet.general, lugnet.space, lugnet.starwars, lugnet.people, lugnet.build.contests)
