This is a modernized version of the LL897 Mobile Rocket Launcher set, using only parts currently (as of Summer, 2026) available from LEGO Pick-a-Brick online. The main design principle was to retain (or even improve) the durability and playability of the original, using similar, simple building techniques. An additional design principle was to use general-purpose parts, allowing for many alternative builds and re-use in Space-themed builds, following the structure and the building sequence of the original as closely as practical.

The main differences with the original are the following:

  1. Instead of red and white, golden and teal minifigures are used.
  2. Some originally gray parts (fenders, spare oxygen tank, etc.) are white.
  3. The originally red wheel hubs are also white.
  4. The walkie-talkie is light gray, with an additional face plate.
  5. Instead of two vertical tail fins, three hangers are used, due to part availability but also to improve on the most fragile part of the original.
  6. The erector mechanism has been completely changed, due to part availability.

Additionally, some changes to the way the Library and Forums will interact are happening.  The Library will be transitioned to it's own login system and be complete separated from the forums. This will require all existing Parts Authors or Reviewers to request a password reset from the Library. Before this happens, I will update the Library will the email addresses with the ones on file here on the forums.  If you're a Parts Author or Reviewer, make sure your email is up to date.

Lastly, we will moving the forum software from myBB to Discourse.  This is a more modern, more capable forum platform.  This is the same software that Rebrickable uses for it's forums and is more actively developed than myBB.

Again, I still have testing to do on the changes to the Library and the timeline on when the above will happen isn't firm yet.  Best guess is since the 2026-06 release is in 2.5 weeks, I will likely delay until after that happens.]]>

This is my first ever post and if I am correct this is the right location for this request.
I'd like to make a red panda enclosure for my kids to play with. 
However the part 106597pb01 doesn't show up in Studio.
I tried importing an lego set which should have it, but I get no suggestions for replacement.
I attached two screenshots.

Hopefully someone can make a model for it.
If you have any questions please let me know.

Many many thanks in advance!

I updated the version of LDView on my dev server to 4.7 (Built from source using the 4.7 tag on the GitHub repo). 

4.6 (also built from source using the 4.6 tag) works without error. 

4.7 gives the following error:

I verified that the server has libosmesa6 and libglu1-mesa installed. Apparently 4.7 added some other dependency that I can't figure out.

this version introduces two new little features.

Download and install the latest LDPatternCreator release directly from sourceforge.net.
Any previous version should be uninstalled first. Your program configuration will be preserved.

Change log:

New features:
  • Define the width of a spline.
  • Pressing and holding the Ctrl key will rotate a vertex/triangle selection around its center (instead of the nearest vertex).

As always, I included a short readme.htm in the installation directory.

Thanks are due to all the part authors who created or corrected parts for this release. The small, but dedicated, band of reviewers also play an important role in keeping files moving through the Parts Tracker and deserve just as much credit. This update wouldn't have been possible without their dedication and attention to detail.

You can preview the new parts in 2026-05 here, and download the zip-file update or Windows install package here.

Thank you to all the testers and parts authors who continue giving feedback on the PT software. This project would not be what it is without your help.

Note: This update has a couple of sticker and sticker shortcuts with very small gaps (<0.1 ldu, noticeable under very high zoom) due to adjustment of their underlying dependencies. This does not affect the usability of these parts in anyway and will be corrected in the next release.
