List of (probably) every L.M.S. Explorer MOC on the internet (Last update: 2021-11-26)

"Will Arthuriel ever stop to annoy the world with posts about the L.M.S. Explorer and will he finally create something else (actually I did^^)? Then tune in and find out next week. Same Arth Channel. Same Arth Time."

The topic is based on this blog post, that I originally made in back in 2013: https://rockraidersunited.com/blogs/entry/1105-list-of-probably-every-lms-explorer-moc-on-the-internet/

I created this list, because I wanted to know, how many MOCs of the L.M.S. Explorer (or ships, which are based on the LMS Explorer) can be found on the internet. Maybe some of you are also interested in this. Therefore I made this originally available via a blog post. In almost every case I've found a picture to proof the existence of a MOC. In each category the models are sorted after the year of their release.

Overview (2013-Oct-10): this list contains 29 entries (Update 2015-07-31: in some cases the links don't work anymore. In other news: I haven't found any new MOCs so far).
(2021-11-26): time for another update. Some new MOCs enter the list and I add new working links for some of the older entries (sadly some entries don't have a working replacement).

Summary:
LEGO MOCs (16 entries)
Non-LEGO MOCs (10 entries)
Unfinished/ WIP MOCs (10 entries)
Finished/ unfinished MOCs without pic proofs (3 entries)
Random other L.M.S. Explorer (probably?) related stuff I found while updating this thread (2 entries)

Non-Lego MOCs

1. LMS Explorer by deaththerapy

(probably based on the unfinished LMS Explorer from LMSExplorer01 on Roblox (my guess))

year of construction: 2009 (?)

link: [I can't find that project anymore and the first link is my project at the moment^^] https://www.google.de/search?q=lms+explorer+model+roblox&btnG=Suche&um=1&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla%3Ade%3Aofficial&gbv=1&hl=de&tbm=isch (first entry). Update (2021): the entry isn't there anymore

Does it have an RRU thread? Nope.

At least it's (hopefully) downloadable, if you log into Roblox.

another link (you have to be logged in to watch the pictures in the gallery): https://rockraidersunited.com/gallery/album/30-sporelms-ships/

Supersonic posted two other pictures below this post since there are several versions of this spaceship:

I added an updated link with the code option. The two pictures in the post are broken though. The next best thing are the following four entries:

10. L.M.S. Venture Explorer by Raven319s

Does it have an RRU thread? Kinda, since she posted in one of my threads.

9. L.M.S. Explorer Rooms by Arthuriel
separate rooms of the spaceship made by me based on sources like the Intro or Outro of the Rock Raiders computer game
year of construction: 2013 (bridge), 2019-2020 (hangar bay and teleport room), 2020 (reactor room)
Do they have an RRU thread? Kinda, the bridge can be found via my 1:1 L.M.S. Explorer thread (including download), but the other rooms aren't complete (especially the reactor room since the scales are all over the place) and I only made them as a basis for baraklava so he could further modify them for his game Manic Miners (it's a really good remake of Rock Raiders btw).

10. L.M.S. Explorer model/manual by Thomkok23
currently the RRU user Thomkok23 is trying to make to make a new Studio 2.0 model that also serves as a step by step manual. Fixing bugs and misplaced bricks is also part of the process.
project start: 2019 and ongoing
Does it have an RRU thread? Kinda since Thomkok23 posted the progress of the project in one of my threads: https://rockraidersunited.com/topic/3082-11-scale-lms-explorer-ldrawstudio-20-file-downloads-2021-10-21-oh-hey-this-thread-is-10-years-old-and-still-going/page/7/?tab=comments#comment-138962

 

Finished/ unfinished MOCs without pic proofs (maybe this category is a bit dubious, because basically everybody could claim to have a finished/unfinished LMS Explorer)

1. LMS Explorer by kris220b

year of construction: unclear (long gone now according to kris220b, which could mean anything since the first version of LDD till maybe 2008 or 2009)

In one comment under a youtube video (link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MKX-ZHYb09I) this user claimed to have build the LMS Explorer in LDD on an old laptop, but sadly the save is long gone now.


2. LMS Explorer by wordsarecool
year of construction: 2008
I recently (2021) found this archived Roblox thread while updating this thread: https://archive.froast.io/forum/3342321
 

3. LMS Explorer scaled to human size in Minecraft by Arthuriel

year of construction: 2012

Basically I started to build the LMS Explorer on the server from CTXXTC, but one day the server wasn't available anymore and therefore the ship is left unfinished.

 

Random other L.M.S. Explorer (probably?) related stuff I found while updating this thread
1. 3D fanmade models that remind me a bit of an entry in this thread that it broken now (I don't know, which one though, lol).
I found these models and they remind me of another entry. I don't know, if the people who uploaded the model, where the original creators.
L.M.S. Fleet from Michael Godzina. link (based on the source code I found two years/dates: 2007 and 2014): https://3dwarehouse.sketchup.com/model/b1c48faf4693ec7da131491eebff98b/LMS-Fleet
L.M.S. Explorer from Blue Phang (originally Nateel) from 2007 (based on that I think that the previous entry is also from 2007): https://3dwarehouse.sketchup.com/model/14897ecc169179a6ce70586e8c088da/LMS-Explorer
The last link I found via a 3D model search engine called 3dmdb: https://3dmdb.com/

2. lockedmc Minecraft server from 2021 (since it's version 1.16.5)
I also found a minecraft server/world and one part of the map reminded me of the hangar bay from the L.M.S. Explorer. I could be completely wrong though.
link: https://mcl.ist/server/lockedmc.com:25565


 

Note: There are probably more MOCs etc. from the LMS Explorer out there, that I don't know of, because the users keep them privately and don't make them public. One counter argument to this could be, that in most cases a user would make a LMS Explorer model public, because... ...well... it's TEH LMS EXPLORER and if you question it, Chief will hit ya in da face ; ). Okay, jokes aside. It's just my theory and therefore it's unknown, how many MOCs are out there, but this list is a small attempt to archivate them : )

I hope, that there will be more versions of the LMS Explorer in the future, which will look even more awesome.

Sorry, that it just now came to my mind: Do you still have the original lxf files, so you could make new screenshots?

(Although based on the reaction-gif I assume, that nothing is left).

Cool to see that someone actually made a list on this :D

Concerning my spore model in the list: I'll search my HDD for more pictures, attached you find two model .PNGs (which contain the model data for spore) ;)
The version 2 model is the one from 2009, in 2010 or 2012 I seem to have edited it a bit (version 3c).

Disclaimer: The .PNGs themselves are no good for pictures but if you happen to have spore, you can import them into the game and take screenshots or export them as DAE models ;)

  • Arthuriel changed the title to List of (probably) every L.M.S. Explorer MOC on the internet (Last update: 2021-11-26)

It's 2021 and I finally updated this list. It "only" took a few hours since many links had to be updated and some links are still broken (basic impression: either they were broken back in 2015 or they were roblox links that broke in the last few years). If I missed a model/project or made an error (considering the size of the list that's almost a guarantee then please tell me about via PM or in this thread.
