Have you considered a Digital Photo Keychain?
https://www.amazon.com/80011-bla-Di...508O/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1287089161&sr=8-1
You might be able to make an animated slide show. This one is only $10.

Honestly I think the printed screen back lit (like the previous image) looks great. Sometimes the simple solution is the best

Ow my trousers!!!!!!!!
That is amazing ow ow ow I have had an accident down stairs ow ow am again that's so cool, 3d studio max? You little tinker I love it do it again do it again! Serriously that it magic. I looked at a 3d program a while back but I just decided I really don't have the time and I will leave it to the pros I just can not stop looking at it with wings
thank you so much that is most inspirational and I think Barbie boy is totally right. I am trying to over complicate things and simplicity is the bast and I need to walk before I can run, or fly. There will always be other projects to experiment with and other ships on my list ow that list!

Calm down, don't hurt yourself!
I used Blender and Gimp (two open source graphics programs). I'm a Linux geek.
Glad you liked it. I can mock up a few more if you need.

Re: 1-6th X-wing project
One more for the day. I've done some 3D modelling in blender, but I did not build the x-wing mesh (if I knew who did the mesh work I'd give a credit) It just one of the many star wars models floating out there without attribution to the artist.
I setup the 3d space with the model, cameras, area lights, ambient occlusion, and then position the camera and focal length to resonably match yours. I render to a file output, and then use Gimp to overlay a piece of your xwing.
