Screenshots for Wiki?

Does anyone have any suggestions for how to take a decent screenshot of weapons and such? I've thought about using the equip screen to take a picture of my Spur sword, but it's either at a strange angle or obscured.

I know there's the whole "look at the models via the files" buisness, but I am nowhere near competent to even think of that route.

Any ideas?

Really? I tried using it last night and it didn't work. Specifically the {{#switch|}} function. Hrm. I'll have to try again. Thanks!!

Edit: Badass! It works! :D <3 If I want more favors for the wiki, who should I direct stuff to? I feel bad spamming up a thread with requests and junk. (like I want some css added to the MediaWiki:Common.css to simplify templates where I abuse rounded corners.)

Here is fine, or create a dedicated forum thread for wiki requests, or even a wiki page for requests. Wiki upgrades and changes aren't top priority, but when I get some free time I try to make them.
