Is the LEGO shipset finished yet?
 

ISTR that Deathstalker was working on a LEGO shipset... any news on progress?

I ask because I was looking around for 3d drawing tools & came across a couple freeware programs designed for drawing LEGO models. (Not to mention information that there are LEGO objects/libraries for Visio and POV-ray...)

I was working on one, had quite a few pictures too, but then my hard drive crashed, and had to re-install windows, lost everything http://www.shrapnelgames.com/ubb/images/icons/icon9.gif. It is on my list of things to do sometime in the near future (in other words, I'd love to , but don't hold your breath.) If you can point me to these freeware lego drawing tools though, I could wrangle something up. Hopefully they are easy to use, pov/moray just hurts my poor head. AI building is soo much easier!! http://www.shrapnelgames.com/ubb/ima...ons/icon12.gif

If anyone else would like to step up and make this set though, you are welcome too (and if your not busy, how about SpaceBalls after that http://www.shrapnelgames.com/ubb/images/icons/icon7.gif.)

Deathstalker, you've inspired me to put "Backup my SE4 mods to floppies" on my To Do list. I don't have a lot of things that I need backups for, but I've had to wipe my HD to purge a virus once.

Or, you could also just post them, and download them yourself if they ever get lost.

I've saved myself at least once by resoring a mod from an internet-posted Version.

I mainly want to backup up the AI files I've finished for my Tiktsin; there are several files needed for that which I haven't even started working on yet.

My "Donut" map is posted in this thread:

I also found a plugin for my 3dstudio called "Ego" to draw lego bricks. Only plain bricks but may be a good alternative

Theres lots of free options.

I have space for a Website available as part of my ISP account that I've never used. Besides, all the files I've modded so far for SE IV only half-fill a 1.44M floppy.
