Most of the units and buildings from Warcraft 2 are accounted for in some form here, but I made a list of ones that still need to be done (or ones I'm unaware were created). Mostly this is for my benefit since I made the list and have nowhere to put it.
  • shipyard (both) [Okay so there are shipyards in the game, but they don't quite resemble the Warcraft 2 ones]
  • refinery (both)
  • ogre mound
  • human foundry
  • mage tower (being made)
  • gnomish inventor
  • gryphon aviary

If anyone could tackle one of those, it'd be awesome.

EDIT: Updated the list to remove ones that have been found (or pointed out to me, ahem). And also added one thing.

Here's a couple I found:
Elven Destroyer (This was linked to in the SoC Resource pack as well)
http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/models-530/wcii_greathall-50201/ (Since this isn't on your list, I'm guessing you've already found this one - However, it includes a Stronghold and Fortress as well)
http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/models-530/wciitownhall-142198/ (same as the above)

I think I might be able to find some more from the list

EDIT: Aight, I'm willing to bet this one could work for either Human Foundry or Oil Refinery if you reduce the height slightly:

EDIT2: Human Barracks

Red XIII's models include the upgraded versions? Really? How?

The other tiers are included under different animation names (x Upgrade First and x Upgrade Second, I believe they're called, where x is Stand, Birth, Work etc). The same applies to most upgradable buildings uploaded to Hive, as well as Blizzard's own Town Hall models. There's an option in the World Editor to use these animations, but if you're using the town hall (and its upgrades) as the base, I think you just need to replace the model for all three tiers with the custom one, and it will automatically switch between the animation sets for the different tiers.

Yeah I found that out afterwards. Either way that's a small dent in the list at least. As such I've updated the list to match.

This is a good thread. (I was about to say "hey, the Wc3 Gryphon Aviary is good enough"... But then I Google Image'd the Wc2 one for nostalgia, and was re-blown away. Definitely worth remaking. That & the Temple of the Dead (ahhhh Death Knights))

I would highly suggest the use of either a Table (cells) or a List (bullets) for your list in the first post, as well as the use of strikethrough to show "completed things" without removing them (shows progress effectively). If you need help with the VBCode check the bottom left of any page, then feel free to ask us.

i.e.


Orc Town Hall
Needed for Orcish StuffFound (Chr2)

Mage Tower
Ultra Cool, needs green stuffBeing Made (Edge45)

Gnomish Inventor
Super Cool, needs smokeNOT FOUND

Gryphon Aviary
Definitely cooler than the Wc3 oneNOT FOUND
