Default Lego shipset

My son, a budding SE IV player has decided to make a lego shipset. He is 13,and dug up some of his considerable old leggo toys. This may take a while for all of the shipsets. The question I have is if we upload the Jpegs from the digital camera (having read Atrocities excellent article) will make sure that they look good, if I upload the pics, could I count on help with rendering, the AI etc. This could be the 1st comunity rendered race. The lego dudes as a race portrait would be GREAT! Looking at what he has, quad racers, rafts for troops etc. we have already photographed a Fighter. This should be interesting!! How many of you have leggos laying around?

Sounds great. A lego Ship set would be a great set to add to one's collection.

The pictures look great.
Try using a black or at least a dark background.
If you want I can edit the pictures. Post them here or send them by email

Q) In that escort... one guy gets 10KT of crew quarters and 10KT of work space (bridge) all to himself?

I like those pictures, though you will probably have a lot of trouble with the black pieces vs. masking and space backgrounds. Lighter or coloured pieces would show up better.

I'm almost done of my lego shipset using MLCad and PovRay.

I'm at work now and do not have any of the pictures here. When I get home I'll post a sample of them. (Only need CVs now...)

Anybody have an extra AI around?
