I do not have a scanner but I tried to get the best pictures I could using
Vision Command for Mindstorms. I put 24 pictures on a temporary site (because
my official site isn't ready yet). In trying to get the best resolution
possible, I created gigantic files (this me bay quite long to upload (1+ minute
on my machine). That should give you a good idea until somebody get a real
scan. Have nice dreams....
Eric.
I was just about to forget the URL.

| Thanks for the pic Eric. Some of the new Star Wars looks nice. The Tie looks good, but can't tell about the pilot or stormtrooper really without a better pic. The shuttle is larger than I thought it would be, and it has two red imperial guards, that (...) (24 years ago, 22-Oct-00, to lugnet.general)

| Many, many thanks, Eric, for the list and pics! Am I going crazy or do I remember seeing white TIE fighters for the last 23 years? I know color accuracy is a big complaint in the Star Wars line, but in this case the difference is literally black and (...) (24 years ago, 22-Oct-00, to lugnet.general)

| 1st off, many thanks Eric! - Love the Imperial Shuttle - TIE pretty much as expected, but with bonus of Stormtrooper! - AT-ST is kinda ugly, but take a look at: (URL) is that not a 6x6 SOLID radar dish? Perhaps 5x5? Compare chewie with the dish... (...) (24 years ago, 22-Oct-00, to lugnet.general)
