LDraw models needed for Technicopedia

Recommended Posts

Over in the Technicopedia topic we've been discussing my need to have an LDraw file for each official Technic set (A-model only) to assist with creation of the site. EB members have volunteered to help create the files I am missing, so i'm creating this topic to keep track of what I need, who is working on what, and what has been completed. I'll try to keep this first topic up to date.

I recommend that anyone planning to create one of these files announce their intention in this topic so that effort is not duplicated. I'd also request that you only "check out" a model if you actually have time to work on it otherwise it will just prevent it from getting done. I suspect that many of these models may already exist in LDD, especially the recent ones, so it is up to the person doing the work if they would rather try to convert it and fill in the errors or just create it from scratch. It is also up to the person whether they make a multi-part MPD file or a single LDR file. SR3D is fine and will result in a single file. Flexible parts are not required, but are appreciated. Please remember to include your name inside any file you create so that I can credit you.

I will do 42001 Min Off-Roader..

Have to ask is there an update sight?

An update has already happened and these files are allowing further updates. If you are asking specifically about 1996, yes it is in sight. I'm trying to get my photo setup to work properly.

I've just finished 2854/8202 (I went with the teal 8202, for no particular reason). I'll send that through to you Blakbird in the next few minutes.

I'll start at the top and work my way down. The next few look like they won't take long.

Owen.

Thanks! I've marked you down for the next model.

Hi, I can work on 9393 from year 2012 next week, if it's still free.

I've put your name against it. Thanks.

Hi Blackbird, I am working on 42028 Bulldozer (2014) for another project, but am happy to share the LDraw file with you once finished.

Hi Blakbird, I have been wanting to learn LDraw so maybe this can be a sign that I should. I started working on 42020, mostly because it is simple :)

I can take on more if I have time.

I pick the simple but difficult one, 42021 snowmobile, as there's hardly a right angle in sight.. A model is done, 185 parts, stepped as per instruction. LDR file here.

Wait, are b-models wanted too? I didnt build the b-model, but I would be happy to...

Thanks everyone for the rapid progress on this. I hope I've got the first post up to date.

No, don't worry about B models.

I'll do 9397 if that's ok ?

I did 8043 in the official LDraw thread; it has some minor beauty faults but I think I can do this :classic:

Is it allowed to use unofficial parts ? I usually do my LDraw work with the latest unoffical parts included.

Of course!

If unofficial parts are required to build the model, go ahead and use them. With the LDraw library being as up to date as it is lately, I don't think you will need many, if any.

Hi Blackbird, 42028 is finished - posted over on the LDraw topic (here).

I had some trouble with the treads and some other parts, but I tried to get everything to line up as best as I could. Let me know if you spot any errors.

Quick question, I cant find the pull back motor in the parts catalog, anyone know where it is?

As far as I can tell, that part does not yet exist in LDraw.

12787

42590 might be a reasonable substitute.

Ok, this simple model was way harder than I thought it would be.

Simple because, I am not that good at LSynth.

For life of me I could not get the rubber band to work right, so after few days off playing around with it I opted to use a string instead of the rubber band.

If somebody can edit it and make it with rubber band that would be great.

8444 is next:)
