I’ve just posted a new update to Technicopedia. This is an unusual update in that it does not add any new years of models (although I am working on 1995). Instead it makes a number of improvements to existing information.
  • Reformatted some older pages to make them more readable and more consistent with the newer pages.
  • Added computer renders and revolving animations to almost all existing pages.
  • The big change is the addition of an LDraw model library. I’ve added LDraw files for most of the models from 1977-1987 which can be accessed from the respective model pages. These files come from a variety of original authors but have been scrubbed and formatted for consistency. All of them assume that you have the latest (2009-03) LDraw library installed. This is important because a number of parts (especially pneumatic parts) have had their origins changed in that release. I used official parts wherever possible but unofficial parts where necessary. Some models require the primitives from LSynth for synthesized parts. This update should allow you to view the models from 1977-1987 in 3D if you choose.
Let me know what you think!

Note that there are a few models in this date range which I don’t have LDraw files for. Anyone wishing to contribute should let me know and I will credit you with preparation of the file on Technicopedia. Here’s what I still need:
  • Universal Sets
  • 8020 4 of 6 models
  • 8030 All 5 models
  • 8035 All 5 models
  • 8040 4 of 5 models
  • 8050 All 5 models
  • 8055 All 6 models
  • Arctic Action
  • 8620
  • 8640
  • 8660
  • 8680
  • 8853 Wheel Loader
