I haven't followed extraction since the 1990s, as it's all accomplished by people much smarter than me... but if anyone has figured out a way to properly glop out the 3D models, I'd love to hear it.
That's what's keeping /ships2 from being updated -- lack of a ready way to screenshot-out the 3D ships.
(... and, of course, it'd be nice to figure out how to read the in-game specifications from WC3 on.)
