Why wait for LEGO to reboot Rock Raiders, when I can do it myself! Presenting, "Rock Raiders: A New Expedition" A series of MOCs with buildable instructions that you can create yourself today! Click the picture for its instructions and parts lists. More to come!

This topic is not done yet Everything is complete, but there may still be issues included to each model mentioned below them in descriptions. Please reply to this topic if you see something odd or see a possible improvement to my Rock Raiders collection. About my models These models are made as close as possible to the ingame models. I have spend many hours ingame, sometimes days on one model to get it as perfect as possible. I really enjoyed making these models and sometimes struggled with them. I sometimes had choices and compromises to make to finish some models, because some textures are hard not realistic or some parts do not even exist, but it did not hold me back to make these models. I love Rock Raiders and have spend many hours playing this game. This is a contribute to the community to this amazing game. I hope you enjoy these models as much as I do. I am very proud with the result. Warning These builds are primarily focust on the ingame models. Some models use bricks from a time period later than the Rock Raiders game was released in 1999. This was mainly, because of textures or impossible builds. I will try to mention as many bricks as possible at each model. There could also be bricks used with a color that does not exist, to get as close as possible to the ingame build. I will mention these bricks as well and add a suggestion for an existing color, so that you are able to build them. I also have included the original sets, but they may have small differences in the game compared to the original sets, so I added the changes to these models as well if necessary. In rare cases I gave priority to the original sets for some bricks, because some textures did not make a lot of sense. These are rare compromises I had to make to build these models. I will try to mention these compromises if I think it is necessary. If there are any parts not in studio 2.0 yet used in my models, try to find them here and follow the README steps. Please let me know if you have found something wrong with the models I made. Report issues or mistakes If you find any mistakes in the model or instruction manuals I made or issues when building the model, please let me know. I do not have the parts in real life, so I only had Studio 2.0 to guide me with instabilities, etc. Use pictures or screenshots to help me solve it faster. If you do not include them it would make it more difficult for me to solve them.

It was almost a decade ago that I made these, but I believe I built them as accurately as I could to the in-game models (the ones in the manual might have differed slightly?). However there were plenty of parts not available in LDD, like the brown cage you linked as well as many decals, so they've been substituted or replaced entirely. You'll have to take a look at the game models yourself to figure out if there are any parts that need replacing or are missing, but hopefully it shouldn't be difficult. I built almost all these models myself following the instructions using parts ordered from Bricklink:
