Title: Reference/ Background Picture Thread
Post by: Jediknight760071 on May 11, 2005, 08:38 PM
This is an idea I came up with while looking for landscape shots and character pics....

So feel free to use it to request information on a character or to post any pictures you find that you think would be useful to the photonovelists / customizers here.

 :)

This is an amazing idea, I'm glad you thought of it, JediKnight.

Perennial posted some great forest pics on RS tonight too...maybe we should invite him here and have him add them to the library?

Any good pics of Geonosis landscapes?

Whoops, I posted a thread about this before seeing this thread. sorry (but you will enjoy!)

I recently went on a camping trip for school, and We stopped by MacMillan National Park, the Forest where they filmed part of Return Of The Jedi. You know what this means? I got to freaking FROLIC ON THE FOREST MOON OF ENDOR! And you know what it means for you people with fancy displays? I'm giving the customizing community a gift: pictures of the forest for a backdrop of custom dioramas. ENJOY!

Hi, all

I need referance pics for my favorite R5, which is R5-K6.
I have a nice shot of the head  (which is all there was made for the films) I need to know what the body looks like. This might be tough (for me it is). I'm sure there is a referance for this someplace in the EU or inside a technical manual. If someone can find it I would be glad. Once I have the pics I'll make the figure and post it here  ;D

Here is the pic I have (I also found more angles)... but, I need to know what its body looks like

Title: Re: Reference/ Background Thread
Post by: Nathan on June 21, 2005, 09:26 PM
Wow! I don't customize (well, except for one 3PO I painted silver and a never-completed repaint job on a Tatooine Luke ;)) but this is great for reference pics, desktop wallpapers, and the like.

Jediknight760071 -- :o Your images are freaking incredible! Where did you get them?

ThePerennial -- Great "Endor" pics.

TT8L -- That looks like what Darth Maul's astromech would have looked like if he had one. ;D I've read practically every EU guide and technical manual out there, and so far I've never seen a depiction of his body. Up to now I didn't even know he had a name! :) So I think it's safe to just make something up.
Title: Re: Reference/ Background Thread

Does anybody have any good reference pics of the Clone Trooper (from the Animated Series) with the gatling gun?  It is from the first episode of the last season (season 3), when the clones jump out of the gunship to rescue Ki-Adi and Shaak Ti.
I picked up a Marvel Legends War Machine for $3 at Target and want to know what I have to do to tweak the gun.
Thanks!

Here are links to the reference galleries I set up while active with theJawa.com...

Jawa Reference Galleries (http://www.thejawa.com/customs/index.php)

Click on the category and you'll see square boxes with a reference image in them.  If you click on those images, it will open a gallery for the character.

Oops -- didn't see your specific request when I posted that...  I'd been planning to post those links for about a week, but hadn't had the time.  I may be able to grab screen captures later -- I haven't tried to do it for season 3... I'll let you know if I have any luck.

wow. I was looking at those pics of Quinlan Vos thinking about what to use to make one and one of the pics caught my eye. look at the one with MAce and look at what he is wearing. Now look at the Clone Wars Saesee Tiin figure, they are wearing the same thing. The belt, torso, and arms are almost exactly alike. when you take off Saesee's wrist gauntlets he even has the arm wrappings. this just made me think that Hasbro might have planed a Vos figure.

Wow, what was the reason they put that 3D model up at the official site? A design for an action figure??

On the other hand, now I have to redesign my future custom Marines. Finally we get to see the chest armor, which indeed resembles more of the Snowtroopers' armor than that of the clones'. I bow my head to Sentinel at the Wampa's Cave in a very humble way.  :)

Ok, well, here's my two cents:

First up, Marine no.1, which actually was my first custom ever:

(http://album.zoom.nl/user/10119/images/388/1329407/6jyBRx.jpg)

Second, logically, Marine no.2, this time he's got a removable helmet:

And last, a third version with an alternative chest armour, to make it more movie accurate:

Hope they're a bit of help to you  :)

i have another question now...i havnt heard that much about the galactic marine...but im guessing that theyre using the parts from the snow trooper with the removable helmet....so i was wondering if some one could tell me if he has a removable bucket?

Here (http://www.sirstevesguide.com/index.php?categoryid=13&p2_articleid=365) at SirSteve's Guide you can click on the marine to get a really good pic of him.

And our very own JD has a helmetless pic of him over here (http://www.jedidefender.com/newspro/fullnews.cgi?newsid1163213532,68703,).

I´m very pleased with how this one looks, except for his rifle, that is. I think it´s gonna be a huge hit and I´m afraid I´m gonna have to patient before I order him off eBay (my main supplier of figs)

Definately better than hasbro's version. Very nice. I've been thinking, it would be cool if the galatic marine had a cloth mask on the helmet. It would add another dimension to this figure.
Title: Looking for some good reference pics of CZ-3 and RA-7 Droids
Post by: Straxus on January 22, 2007, 09:15 AM
Hey everyone!
I am looking for some good reference pics of both the CZ-3 droids (seen in sandcrawler and mos eisely, usually white colored with vague protocal droid shape) and the RA-7 droids (also known as Death Star Droid)
I need pics that show the leg details and back veiws of said droids.
I am feeling inspired to give a sculpt of those a try in the near future.

You might try The essential guide to Droids and technology.They should have a new one coming out.I know The
Star Wars Visual guide has front pics,but not back.Also the Star Wars Chronicles has pictures,but its a very expensive book.I got mine on sale at 75.00.That was 50% off

Ouch! Well out of my budget right now...
However if I can find a copy to look at long enough at a book store and sketch the details I need down on some paper it might help.
Thanks for the info!

Hey guys. Just droopping you a line to show that I am in fact, not dead.

The reason I haven't been posting a lot lately, is the Star Wars customising bug has not been with me for a couple of moinths now. ( Ok, a little under a year, but who is really counting)

I basically burnt myself out.  :-[

BUt now I have returned, and I am taking a back to basics approiach to my customising, just to get my groove back.Starting with clones ( Yes Phruby Colnes ;D) and Battle droids.

Her's where you can help, can anyone point me in the right direction for some Battle Droids reference pics. I need to see their markings for different functions.

Like Pilots, security and so forth. Can anyone help?

Thanks Smarty. I feel like a complete idiot. I didn't even think to look there. :-[

Yeah, Wookieepedia is, generally, superior to SW.com even...

Though BD colors are REALLY simplistic...  Yellow, blue, red...  No other colors are known though EU cites whole deco variants for environment (red on Geonosis for instance, green, and then the Hasbro decoes sort of filter into the EU)...  Of course, Hasbro's got the "basic" BD (cream) decoed in the 3 duty-specific colors too at one point or another to check out for reference as well.

You can also do a Google/Yahoo/whatever search under the IMAGES tab and it should pull up plenty of stuff too.
