Hello all. :-)
Just for the recap, here is where I stand.
Model nos. 1, 3, 4, & 5 are complete.
http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/Cybertronian/SpaceContest/
The surface vehicle w/ droid to #1 are now pictured.
#2 will not be completed.
#3 has retracted and expanded views.
#4 has solid and transformed (expanded) views. The Black & Blue astronauts are
driving the Defensive Battery, White is in the command center (from old #6930),
Yellow is flying in the aerial scout vehicle, while Red drives the ground vehicle.
#5 is the same, minus one clear visor.

Have a good night and good luck to all (esp. me)!

Entry #4 is finally finished. Unlike the rest, #4 does not use a clear visor as
a complement for LDraw's New styled helmets.
Entry #1 is my favorite, but #3 and #4 are most likely to go the distance.

#2 won't be finished by the deadline.

     I'm writing because I've just completed no less than 2 more entries for
the Classic Space Building Contest. These will be my 3rd, 4th, and 5th

main body is not yet complete. I am re-posting with the web address to all

"Don't just 'play well', play better!"

P.S.: To those who are counting, Classic space mini-figures only accounted
for 5 pieces. Those pieces are: legs & hips (#1), torso & arms (#2), head
(#3), helmet (#4), and airtanks (#5). Figure set-ups after 1994 or 1995 are
the ones with the head practically glued onto the torso & arms piece.
P.P.S.: LEGO Medium is my way of noting whether it was built in a program
(LDraw/LEdit, MLCAD, etc.), in Real Life, or however.
