It is, slightly.

Not yet. I was thinking of putting all the various robots and bonus buggies etc
into a little crowd!

Yes, me too! I was always uneasy that there wasn't an airtight seal for the men,
despite them being safe and snug in their space suits...

Most of the bricks have finely rounded edges and corners, as in real life. A few
will be the low-res ldraw default meshes if the parts are missing from the
POV-Ray libraries, which will introduce a slight randomness to the appearance.
The modeler allows the bricks to be placed slightly out of alignment, but I've
been using the grid locked to keep it neat (always the perfectionist!).
