I don't know if anyone is still interested, or this has already been done, but I made a ripper for the WORLD.WDB file. It extracts most of the models and textures and outputs them in .obj format. I think it's just the models with animations that don't extract. Also the normals for the model faces will need to be inverted. Github source: https://github.com/LiamBrandt/WDBRipper Github binary download: https://github.com/LiamBrandt/WDBRipper/releases/download/v0.2.0/wdb-ripper-v.0.2.0-binary.zip RRU download: https://www.rockraidersunited.com/files/dl-r30/ The tool extracts 451 out of the 592 models, whereas the old one only did around 300. The minifig models have also been extracted, although the wdb ripper has not been updated to reflect it. I wanted to get this implemented into the extractor, but I honestly haven't had time. Instead, I found a messy way to get the models out, so I have them for anyone that wants them. Although most people already have minifig models, these are the original ones. Make sure to read the README file. Minifig models: Dropbox: https://www.dropbox.com/s/ygssmf0lwwrey2c/extra_li_models.zip?dl=0 RRU: https://www.rockraidersunited.com/files/dl-r438/

Alright. I went ahead and built a certain infamous ship from the Star Fox series. I took inspiration from multiple versions of this ship. The lower wings and G-Diffusers are inspired by the Red Fang from Star Fox Command, the main hull is based on the Assault Wolfen, and the upper wings are straight out of the unreleased Star Fox 2. I did just a bit of greebling to the nose of the craft just to give it a bit more of a rough look compared to the Arwing. Here's a picture of this hybrid Wolfen chasing an Arwing: "You'll be seeing your dad soon, Fox!" Here's some more views: I'm thinking about what to make for my next Star Fox build. I don't want to build the Landmaster just yet, I'd like to get a few more ships out of the way first. Tell me which ships you want to see, and I'll consider building them. The ships can be from any Star Fox game, including the unreleased Star Fox 2 or the fan-made Star Fox: Event Horizon. This can include bosses and enemies that function as ships despite being something else, like flying Aparoids.

Always, and not really. At least not the models part. That's interesting. The World.wdb file you included is 1763[dec] bytes larger than mine. Anyhow, this is great, here's a screenshot of the island:

Here four designs for Ice Planet vehicles that were made solely out of bricks included in the Ice Station Odyssey set. You can click on the images to enlarge them. Robots were missing in the Ice Planet series. Though not as intimidating as the Spyrius bots, it is a start. Another vehicle that makes use of those bulky dome parts. It is completely hold together by a single hinge, which admittedly makes it rather vulnerable and unbalanced once you open it up. Lastly, an alternate design for Ice Station Odyssey. Lots of functionalities are included, like the translation of the rocket over the spare brick compartment by a cogwheel system, the twisting and turning of radars and the displacement of objects by magnets via an arm.

EDIT: Changed the title so that the thread can be continued beyond just one ship Just something I whipped up in LDD recently. I decided to build an Arwing from the Star Fox series after reading up an article on LEGO spaceship construction. I used a few advanced techniques, particularly a decent amount of sideways and even upside-down building, to try and capture the look of this classic space fighter. This specific version is a mashup of the Star Fox 64 (Lylat Wars) version and the one from Star Fox Assault. Some more views:

Nice

In case this is unclear, I have shut down the server in order to update it to a Tekkit server. It will not be back up until I have successfully updated it.

The Landmaster is a possibility further down the line, though when I do build it I'll probably base it mainly on the Star Fox Assault version. I'll probably end up building an Arwing Interceptor from Star Fox 2 or a Wolfen next, though.

Updates: -Rocket Racer's Car has finally been completed. (ScreenShots) I'm gonna continue on making drivable lego cars!
