Wee, superflous post, noticed the Star Wars Acclamator-class is already on the chart.

Where did you find a sideview, MinutiaeMan? Do you have a larger original? ;.)

Nim: It's already there. Check the top right corner. [Razz]
As to its origin, it's actually a kitbashed version of the Victory-class Star Destroyer that I borrowed from somewhere.

Why is there no tech pictures for ships from Stargate - there are some GREAT designs on that show!

For the same reason there aren't any the last time you asked, Andrew -- I haven't found any decent side views of the ships yet. [Razz]

If you can point me to some decent sources, though, I'll definitely add them to the mix.

A request. Course, it would work out to about half a pixel across.

*gasp* I've been looking for clean pics of Serenity ever since I first saw the show! That one's going in right away!

...If I can find some good measurements to go along with the image. Shouldn't be too hard, though. [Wink]

Why are there no Red Dwarf side images anywhere? Eh? I have found some Blue Midget ones, but I don't quite think that it would be visible on that chart.

Hasn't anyone got the DVDs? There were plenty of stock shots of the ship flying sideways.

Yes, you're despicable, and... and picable... and... and you're definitely, definitely despicable. How a person can get so despicable in one lifetime is beyond me. It isn't as though I haven't met a lot of people. Goodness knows it isn't that. It isn't just that... it isn't... it's... it's despicable.

I have got the DVDs, and I am glad that they used the original model shots instead of the rubbishy CGI from the so-called "special edition".

Unfortunately I have no way to capture images from DVDs (no PC with DVD drive, sorry!) [Frown]

I have the DVDs but every time I try and do a screen cap it saves as a blank screen for some reason. I suspect my computer is cursed.

That happens to most people. Your screencap program needs to be compatibile with the graphics card, and that's not always the case.

Well, I've had the exact same problem with every screencap from a DVD that I've tried to take in the past two years. What REALLY sucks is that when I try to use non-fullscreen windows, it will take an image of the computer screen parts, but leave the movie window black!

It's not a "problem" or mistake, but a side-effect of how the image is displayed. Rather than using your normal display, DVD movies use Complex DirectX Stuff to maximise efficiency. Which means they don't show up on normal screengraps.

Still as Cartman points out (sort of), pretty much all DVD software has capture buttons. Use them!

The DVDs don't use the "remastered" footage, with the evil, evil Long Red Dwarf in them, do they?
