OK, does anyone have any URLs for really good B5 sites that have lovely pictures of ships of B5 ships - Earth Alliance Drazi, what ever...

There used to be a really cool page called Voltaire? but I don't have the URL, infact I heard he shut down his site!?!

Hyperspace is the best site I've come across for B5, it has pictures and some info for ships of all of the major races.

The other site you mention, Voltaire's Encyclopedia something-or-other was shut down a while ago, apparently the person who ran it didn't have enough time to maintain it. Perhaps this is another victim of the dreaded disease known as a real life?

Yeah, for real shots from the show, Hyperspace is probably the main place to go. If you're looking for CGI model pics, there's my site (in my sig file) with fan made CGI (very good, btw, but I don't know what the hell happened to the White Star or Hyperion). The other is Starship Modeler at:

http://www.starshipmodeler.com/b5/b5tech.htm

This site has some of the REAL CGI used in Babylon 5. For some great pics of the White Star, Kier Darby has a 100% replica CGI model of it at:

http://www.ap3d.com

The textures are the real Foundation textures on the White Star.

And the Omega and G'Quan used on my site were made by Mike Stetson. Needless to say, he's working at Foundation Imaging, now.

For the Hyperion, oh gee, look at the time, have to bolt...

Starship Modeler: Babylon 5 Starship Reference

Bob's Babylon 5 Archive

Those are two which have some good pics. . . not that I really like looking at B5 ships pics, myself. They always look so fake as stills. They need to MOVE. 8)
