After much research I am no closer to an answer so I decide to submit my problem to the mercy of the forum.

I am looking for the most simple way way to display 1 large image above and 5 thumbs images just below in existing content types. Obviously click a thumb will change the large image.

Basically if you cant find a module that does then you'll need to find some Javascript and build it yourself. Theres quite a few jQuery plugins that can probably do the job, or else mootools has a few decent scripts also.

If you have the skills you can theme the crap out of CCK Imagefields etc and get this working: http://pikachoose.com/demo/

Pimp your Drupal 8 Toolbar - make it badass.
Adaptivetheme - theming system for people who don't code.

Looks nice. Thanks I will into it.

Its funny with all the sliders out there and not one of them plugs into the node page.

Hi jeff -

The way I've done this in the past is to print the first image normally in the node template, then make a view for the other thumbnails (staggering the start to not include the first image). Use views_embed_view to print the view inside the node.

Maybe something like that would work for you.

PS - Of course from there you would need to add some custom JS that will switch out the images... but maybe this will get you started.
