As Ken said there are good pics in the IRTC competitions. I case you do
not have all pics available. I looked through my archives and found some
that might help. 
JulAug97 'ersarmor.jpg'
JulAug97 'magia.jpg'
MayJun97 'toka2100.jpg'
SepOct96 'atlantis.jpg'
SepOct96 'attack1.jpg'
SepOct96 'ewbatl.jpg'
SepOct96 'lsaber.jpg'

These are just some of the ones that stud out to me. There are others
that might help you especially in the Space round SepOct96. 

Have fun and let us know how it turns out.
