I already found this site here:

http://www.cloudster.com/Sets&Vehicles/ ... yerTop.htm

And now I'm looking for shots of other ships. I cannot use the ones on Dr. Saxton's site, so I was looking for independnt pics. Anyone who can help with this, it would be much appreciated.


Also, Did the CGI models for SW shipos ever end up on the net like the B5 ones? Because I can find almost nothing close up of the TF ships.

Why can't you use anything from Saxton?

Ah well, no matter. I'll see what I can find. Any particular ships you want?

He has a very understandable policy against picture poaching.

There's also one of my favorite books, From Star Wars to Indiana Jones that has decent model pics.

The ISD1 model is in a really bad way compared to the ISD2 model. I saw the ISD2 model personally at the Magic of Myth expedition when it rolled down to Sydney. Fuck it's huge. They didn't have the ISD1 model there.

Ender,

The best SW model reference site I've found (aside from Curtis' own, anyway) is here: http://www.starshipmodeler.com/starwars/smith_sw.htm

And:
http://www.starshipmodeler.com/starwars/smith_sw2.cfm

The pages are fighter-centric, but there are a few good close-up shots of Avenger, Tantive IV, a Mon Cal cruiser and a Nebulon-B. The "Other Ships" section has a handful of decent Slave One pics--nothing to get excited about, though ;)

Thank you very much. From an ethical (and legal) POV, what do I do if I want to use the images here? Do I just say where they came from and link, do I ask the sites permission, do I have to do nothing at all, what?

You're welcome, and no, I don't think you need to do anything: I know Starship Modeler's webmaster, and he's a nice guy. I seriously doubt he'd be offended if someone was using a few reference photos for their stated purpose!

Besides, since all of the pics have a SM logo in them, there's no doubt to whom credit is due :)
