Thanks,
and if you want the model I posted it here a while back after I had printed it as well.

www.myminifactory.com/object/3…

its already sliced and ready to print, I also have the Chameleon ship as well and am planning on adding more of them the ships from the game

Ah yes, I did see that on myminifactory, but I wasn't sure if it was yours or not. I'll absolutely print this out over my Christmas vacation - it looks really good.

The workshop you took these pictures in seems like it might hold some commercial size CNC machines - is that what you used to carve out this model, or did you use a smaller, desktop size machine to make this? I'm familiar with larger CNC machines for metal working, but I'm clueless when it comes to CNC woodworking. I'm interested in CNC woodcarving and would be curious to know what you used to make your wooden model.

The Chameleon looks nice! Hopefully you'll add the Little Jack to your collection, but I realize ships with sails may be difficult - the in-game ship models probably have perfectly thin sails. Might need to play around with them a little.

Thanks,, 
I work at a machine shop and we have a cnc router that its called a  shop bot, along with several other cnc machines.

I uses the shop bot and a few other machines as well as hand tool to make the wooden model.

I have the littlejack model almost done but yes the sails are a issue,  I may have to just print without and attach some cloth ones to it.

thanks for the comment,
as for the program this what I used tot extract the data from the original dreamcast disc

kryslin.silvite.com/exmldnet.h…

but I had to do a lot of work to it in Autocad to get it to work right.

if you are looking for the model data this is where I posted it for 3D printing which can be downloaded for free

www.myminifactory.com/object/2…

I am currently  updating the model data to make it more compatible with printers and other stuff.

it is several machined and made parts put together,  and as for reference I used the model data from the original Skies of Arcadia dream cast game, I still have my original game disc so I used those.
there is a program that can extract the models from the dream cast games,
I used it to get the model and then redid the data in Autocad and then had to scale it and refine the model data to get the basic down to make the ship you see in the picture.

Ah cool, I've encountered that program but can't find my original copy of the game, only Legends on the Gamecube which of course won't work. Will have to buy a new copy if I ever get around to trying a larger Lego version!

and leaving it as is   the natural look of the walnut wood looks good the way it is to me.
