Thomkok23 Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 (edited) 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.

aidenpons Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 Very nice, pictures and everything! I remember Baraklava made his own versions of them ... I wonder what the differences are. A note about the Hover Scout - the pieces you use for the Scanner upgrade include ones which weren't around in 1999. While the build looks fine, the historical accuracy of using only parts from that era can be nice too. Looking stellar! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomkok23 Posted March 14, 2022 Author Share Posted March 14, 2022 Thanks for the appreciation! I have not looked at Baraklava's models in detail, but I do know there are some differences. For example the way I made the base for the large mobile laser cutter is different than how Baraklava did it. I also think the power station is different. Most people put the tubes different or do not add them at all. I spent a few hours trying to get those black tubes as accurate as possible. It was hard to do, but I am proud of the result.

I spend days on this particular model alone and had to find the right parts for the scanner, but I was not able to find a good match from that time period. I will probably start today with specifying the special cases for each model. I will mention the non-existing colors of bricks and bricks from after 1999 as well. At first I wanted to have only parts from before 1999, but in some cases I had to use parts from later than 1999. I hope when I finish mapping every part from each model people are able to give suggestions to solve these issues. After looking at my first model I already found a mistake. I apparently used 4589b instead of 4589 in the power station model. I might have used this piece in other models as well. Maybe there are more historical inaccurate bricks used in my models that I am unaware of. I will go through my models again and try to map this as accurate as possible to fix them later.

Thomkok23 Posted June 26, 2022 Author Share Posted June 26, 2022 (edited) I am very happy with what I have posted so far. It already has been a long time since I made this post. This is probably my last release (0.9.6) until the 73590c02b Hose is added to studio. When this update happens it will be the 1.0.0 version of my releases. Because of feedback of @aidenpons I was able to learn from his feedback and improve my post to document and model my models as accurately as possible based on the release year of each brick, which made this project even more satisfying to do. For many models I was able to make suggestions for blocks with a better release date. Unfortunately, this has not been the case for every model. Blocks that come from a future release date or even blocks that don't exist in the color from the game are hard to identify. I haven not been able to solve some models with these issues. This is why I want to ask the people who have remained interested in my progression if they can possibly find solutions for the current problems I am facing. Since my main requirement is that it has to be as exact as possible as the ingame models, it will not be easy for everyone to check. If you have the time and inclination to look at this, it would be very helpful to improve the remaining issues. If no one knows a solution, that is fine too. The notes I have mentioned below each render are intended as a guideline to be able to build the ingame models as closely as possible and can be deviated from. I do love to hear if you can find possible solutions. Thanks in advance to everyone who has been interested in this project and continues to follow the progress I make. After Rock Raiders I will probably move to other lego games like lego island 1-3 and lego racers 1-2. These games also meant a lot to me. I would like to document the models from these games in this kind of detail as well. Edited December 29, 2022 by Thomkok23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
