Might want to move this post to the 'General Star Wars Discussion' forum. When you've got all your raw models and texture material ready and have some minutes produced then a 'Fan Edit' thread would be benefittial.

Also posting some work you've completed would give everyone a sense of what your up to. Might want to look through images.google.com for the reference material you seek. Build two characters, set up a scene and render it. Might want to check out the models built by other people, TF.n used to have a section for meshes of SW vehicles.
