Reference Pics Thread

[Straxus]

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.

EDIT - Consider this now the official reference pics thread!

Hope this helps a bit -

Thanks for the pics!
Wow the RA-7 has less detail on the arms and legs than I origionaly expected... kinda disappointing.
I know the RA-7 has similar back details as 3PO units, but curious what the back of the CZ-3s looks like.

Pickintheblues over at RS had a CZ-3 that looked absolutely amazing! Unfortunately I dont think he included a back veiw either...LOL

I wish they had the costume/props of the two droids at our local OMSI (Oregon Museum of Science and Industry), as they had a star wars exibit. My landlord payed my way to go and unfortunately for me I didnt have a functional camera....(that was the worst part)
They had 3PO, R2, FX7 and 2-1B. (among many other costumes/props)
(sadly no R5... another disapointment for me)

RickyUK made a great custom CZ droid that I bought from him about two years ago... I'll see if I can get some pics of it soon, it might help you for reference.

Cool thanks!
I did not realize it had been turned into the current thread... I got confused wondering where the post had went...LOL

[YAK_Chewie]

LOL, I've had that happen many times... and the new CZ droid that is coming out is going to be awesome I think.



I forgot to take pics of the custom CZ droid that I acquired, but will still try and do so.

Was RickyUK, the one who sculpted those custom Republic Commandos that I have seen floating arround the internet? I know Glassman has a set of them. He mentioned who sculpted them once but cant remember where the post is regarding that.

[YAK_Chewie]

Yep - it was Ricky UK that you refer to...

Here's the CZ droid he made



And scratch build commandos well before Hasbro ever made theirs...

I hadn't seen Ricky's CZ-3 before. Amazing.

[YAK_Chewie]

Yeah... I've got one too (loose) - it's awesome.

Somewhere I thought I put it in a photonovel? I need to do some digging to check...

[Straxus]

I had lost track of this thread! Those are the ones I remember seeing elsewhere. great stuff! I love that CZ-3!

Well my new request (at cut and paste from elsewhere...)

I was wondering if anyone has any pics or scans of commander Faie as he appeared in the Republic comics in the Star Wars Republic: The Siege of Saleucami
I am NOT looking for him in Kashyyk Barc trooper armor or the Lucas Arts pics. I specificly need images of him in the "engineer" armor with blue hood from the comic for a custom I need to make. (I am having difficulty locating the comics in questions...)
All I have found is the following pic from those comics, but it is way too small...
Thanks in advance!

Would the photo from the Art of RotS do? I think it was the same armour.

Does anyone have a detailed pic of a Juggernaut's (the A6) wheel? And possibly the diameter? I'm thinking about 2.5 times the height of a clone, so 15-16 ft.?
