My Rebel Vehicle is more of a speeder than a Tank, It's much smaller than your Imp Tank Chewie and not any longer than a BARC. I'll send it and if it looks too odd you can set it aside.

- 7 Vehicles (all customs - though I'm against a Rebel Tank in any form, maybe swoops instead for them)

Ooo! Do we have those somewhere? cause that sounds very cool.

- 17 droids (13 customs)
- 24 human citizens (all customs)
- 56 alien citizens (all customs)
- 8-10 Rebels (all customs)
- 4 Jedi (all customs)
- 2 Security officers (all customs)
- 7 Vehicles (all customs - though I'm against a Rebel Tank in any form, maybe swoops instead for them)
- 5 Creatures (3 pterosaurs, but you guys may not like the other two)

I don't know what you guys were thinking, but I think we need to target something like this:

- 25+ droids
- 40+  human citizens
- 75+ alien citizens
- 8-10 Rebels (all customs)
- 4 Jedi (all customs)
- 6 Security officers (all customs)
- 7 Vehicles (all customs - though I'm against a Rebel Tank in any form, maybe swoops instead for them)
- 10+ Creatures (3 pterosaurs, but you guys may not like the other two)

Does that sound about right?

That leaves about 8 or more Droids, 16 or more Human Customs, 20 or more Alien customs, 4 more security guards, 5 or more Creatures.  I'm sending a Nexu with one of my shipments.  He might look cool in the wilderness.

I wonder if someone (with more energy than me) would want to go through the various image galleries at the fan sites and list the various "normal" figures that could be included.  There are lots of random aliens, cantina types, etc that could easily find their way into the diorama.  That would help us figure out which normal figures could be needed and determine who could provide them.

Yeah those numbers sounds pretty good to me Brent... maybe even more humans?  Humans really are what we see mostly in ANH.

I think that for the Security officers, we're just going to stick with 4, because of the fodder needed for them to all look consistent - however I did send Fritz the fodder today for them, and for two more Rebels if needed. 

For creatures, if we add a few more pterosaurs (I think Glassman might) we are getting close.

Do you like the creatures that I am sending or are they out of place?





Regarding vehicles... I think we're pretty good there, if I send 6 BARC Speeders we're ok, I think.  Also I believe that Fritz is making two Mech Walkers, and we are wanting an AT-ST for the diorama too.

I don't have a leg to stand on when it comes to critique of customs. How about adding tusks, horns, Floppy elephant ears or even feathers like the boga that Obiwan had on Utapow. This might make them look less paleolithic or mesosoic

Any chance you could add some sort of packs to that 1 beast Chewie and amake it some sort of pack-animal?

On the Imp vehicles I've got an Imp speeder I'm sending and still have to make a mech. I don't know if I'll be able to commit two mechs, I have to fill some orders for them for Order66Customs.

I was considering making some sort of mounted citizen.

So much to do so little time.

Well I have no time to add anything to those creatures.  I'd say that the dinosaur one is fine as is, maybe the long snoot one could have a bag or something on it's back.

I just shipped a lot of stuff to Phruby -

- 30+ custom figures
- 5 vehicles
- 1/2 of the wall

This cost me $60.00 to ship - so be ready guys for some expensive shipping (I used priority mail) -

Plus I still have to ship the tall tower after I finish it, the large gun tower, and the junkyard once I finish it.  Found out today I owe over $2,000 in taxes too.  So I won't be able to buy anything else for the project unfortunately and am going to be selling some of my customs on ebay here soon.  I knew I was going to part with some, and would prefer to sell them cheap but I'm running into finanial issues so I have to do what I have to do.

Yeah the taxes really suck I just had to send out 3 grand for property tax.  :'(

South FL realestate is way over priced

I'm going to be shipping my stuff in 3 or 4 waves. The 1st set of Rebels and a couple Denizens shipped today.

My next Shippment will be mostly denizens.

I still have to work on some vehicles so they'll be shipping last.

I'm going to experiment with a building tonight.

I think you guys may have been a little missled about the size of my Rebel Speeder. Here is a pic that puts the scale into perspective. If you still feel that its too big to use or too high tech I won't send it. Please get me a final answer tonight because I want to make another shippment in the morning.
