Announcements & Policies

Initial announcement...

		Classic Space set design and building contest
I grew up on classic Space (1978-1986) and I still have a huge soft spot in my heart for old simple smileys and single-color astronaut uniforms. It's seeming more and more like the LEGO Space System product line (originally LEGOLAND Space, followed (...) (24 years ago, 27-Oct-00, to lugnet.build.contests, lugnet.space, lugnet.announce) !!

Follow-up announcement...

		Website & Entries page for Classic Space contest
I've set up some web pages on LUGNET for the 1st Annual Classic Space Set Design and Building Contest: (URL) date, we have 26 entries from 13 entrants (PLMK if I missed anyone or if an entry is misplaced): (URL) 2 entries - Itty Bitty Polybag-Size (...)

Deadline extension...

		Deadline extension (was: Re: Classic Space set design and building contest)
(...) At least one person (maybe more) has built models which they haven't yet had a chance to take photos of. I think one person was waiting on the delivery of their first digital camera and had something like 8 or 9 models built. If there aren't (...)

Question: Can we submit models we designed long ago?

		Re: Classic Space set design and building contest
(...) Yes, as long as you still have photos or LDraw images. :-) (...) Not sure I understand the question. Do you mean the wings fold? Or two different actual design variations? I'd say they would probably be considered the same model, with design (...) (24 years ago, 27-Oct-00, to lugnet.build.contests, lugnet.space)

Question: How about a big mammoth category?

		Re: Classic Space set design and building contest
(...) I agree with Tony on that point -- how about instead of one big mammoth category, submit 4 or 5 smaller models that you can optionally combine to make a larger meta-model. There actually was a "super-large (any size)" category originally when (...) (24 years ago, 27-Oct-00, to lugnet.build.contests, lugnet.space)

Question: What about collaborative entries?

		Re: Classic Contest Entries
(...) Fine with me -- as long as you designate one of the N people in your collaboration team to be the one who casts the official votes for your team when voting time comes for the winning entries. Also, naturally, none of the people on a team can (...) (23 years ago, 29-Oct-00, to lugnet.build.contests, lugnet.space)

Question: Can I submit more than one creation per category?

		Re: Classic Space contest question
(...) Yes, submit away. It's covered in the first paragraph under the heading "categories" in Todd's post (emphasis added): (...) That original post is: (URL) Hafner www.hafhead.com (23 years ago, 13-Nov-00, to lugnet.build.contests)

On the subject of hoax-style designs...

		Re: Classic Space set design and building contest
(...) Some people are taking the above a little more literally than I'd intended. I hadn't intended on encouraging hoax-style designs where people fake up catalog scans or instruction scans complete with realistic-looking set numbers -- although I'm (...)
