Also, there was controversy about me entering an MLCAD model, as the others used real Lego and took photos.
Hence, I was given only a week to work with, whereas the others were given a month.

What are the rules for this PCG competition? Maybe I can submit that technic rocket launcher of mine, which is almost finished now.

On the topic of lego, I picked up a bunch of old space sets off ebay a few weeks ago: (those of you familiar with lego will probably recognize these)

6781 SP-Striker
6896 Celestial Forager
6956 Stellar Recon Voyager
6957 Solar Snooper
6981 Aerial Intruder
6984 Galactic Mediator
6989 Mega Core Magnetizer

All were new/MISB for about $300 total, which is a huge bargain considering how high the prices for these usually go up and I got them in the mail in the last few days. Life is good. :D

By the way that 6781 and the 6887 Allied Avenger would make excellent FS2 fighters IMO.

Well I can't remember the rules of the last one, and this new one will likely have new rules anyway.
Your best bet would be to join the PCGForum, and ask PainLord about it.

Oh, and Cor? Where did you get that part that's along the top of the nose of your Circes Interceptor? I've looked all through MLCAD, and can only find the version with the hinge on one side, which is neither use nor ornament.

Boredom, nothing more.

I found a website that has all the Lego instruction manuals that you could ever want, and I happened across this huge 20" Minifig, so I thought I might as well give it a try.

I spent about an hour and a half just on the head, and there's still the arms, hands and cap to make...
