I suggest putting the ships name below the pic, instead of above. It seems more natural that way.

As a matter of fact all models are mirrored. Don't ask me why, but for some strange reason you've got to mirror your 3D model in order for it to show up right in XWA. But since I was taking screenies of the actual models they are all mirrored. I know it's kinda stupid, but there's no easy way to fix that, so I am afraid it'll have to stay like this for now...

Can't you just mirror the pic's?

Yeah, I could, but this would mean having to redo all pics that have the XWAU Logo on them already, touch all of the others to mirror them, then redo all of the thumbnails (which I do not automatically because the batch tools I tried have a pretty bad quality, so it's resizing and saving or mirroring and saving 604 pictures manually...) and then touching them all again to add the logo. All just to have them not mirrored...
If anybody can write a makro for me that will do all the above steps with paint.NET I'll do it, but right now I just don't see the mirror thing as too much of a problem, sorry.

Thanks I will point Force to that and look into getting it fixed.

As far as I know now it's only the thumbnail pictures that are still mirrored. The full size pics are fine, Definitely the YT ships anyway.
Force is going to work on the thumbs when he can find some time and also improve the page further :elvis:
I think these are the best pictures of the work that the XWAU has ever had online. :^^:

..though... on a similar note to the TIE Experimentals, the ANH and the ESB versions of the TIE Fighter are mixed up in some of the pictures...
This has been corrected now. :D
