Title: New regular group project and web site news
Post by: Phrubruh on August 22, 2007, 12:10 PM
What kind of group project are we thinking of? Character based? diorama? Lets have some suggestions. I'm all in for starting a new one up.

Right now, I'm in the process of redesigning the UGP web site. I'm going to be moving the previous regular group project pictures there. I'm also starting to setup member galleries. If you would like to have your pictures posted, please shoot me an email.

The main gateway will be ugp.t-j-p.net (http://ugp.t-j-p.net).  [url]ultimategroupproject.t-j-p.net[\url] will be dedicated to C4's city only. Please send me any work in progress pictures for the C4 project you may have. I'm still designing a project yearbook for C4. I hope to be able to distribute it to everyone someday.

I could probably try to help out with this one. Need any bridges?  ;)

The Jawa droid bazaar idea sounds pretty cool, especially with the new Jawa out. It could probably get some neat custom droid designs as well as some interesting customer ideas.

I'm gonna do a lunch time club with my students with that bazzaar idea

Right now the idea might be to make a large diorama for Chewie's photonovel series. Still working on the details.

With a scale sized Crawler...?

That's it! Lets make a scale model sandcrawler!!! Just like the one that was posted here a few weeks ago!

I really like that idea, but it's going to take cracker-jack planning and engineering. Having the front ramp down with a bit of a swap meat going on in front would also be cool (just like in the incredible cross sections book.)

Yah, more planning and management that I'm willing to do. :-\

That is a really cool idea. God I hate having to have a job....

Would customizers be able to submit custom droids and customers for it, or would only the scale model sandcrawler be the project?

If the project were the sandcrawler,  I would need a crew of customizers that I could trust would not flake out. I  know of a few from the UGP that I could depend on. There would have to be some dedication involved and proven leadership skills. Personally, I think we are better off going with a scene for one of Chewie's photonovels.

Creating a piece modularly would be a task in deed Paul, I have faith in you but this just seems too much for any group.
How do we make a sandcrawler when we are all over the country. Ca, IL, CO, etc etc. Thanks but no thanks. If we could do something a bit more manageable I'm in.

That's why I think a sandcrawler is not a good idea unless I can get certain people involved. A scene that Chewie could use in a photonovel is much more manageable since it doesn't take exact messurements and people can put certain types of figures in it.

Yep.

I'm glad there is some interest in this idea - also, I saw the idea of making a large scale Sandcrawler - pretty cool idea, but I agree with what a couple people at JD said, in that it is probably too big/detailed of a project to be able to pull off.

Also, here's another idea - how about a Jawa settlement, with a few moisture farmers visiting to trade goods?  If people wanted to, a small Imperial detachment could be present "looking for two certain droids." 

It wouldn't need a large scale sandcrawler at it, but could be more of a fan fiction idea.

Basically here's my thinking -

- large base area (sand or something similar)

- mountain/cliffs backdrop

- Jawa dwellings (small homes, shops, etc)

- droid/vehicle junkyard (area they dump parts they pick up from wrecked ships that won't fit in their sandcrawlers)

- custom sandcrawler-esque vehicle (something smaller than a scale sandcrawler - fan fiction design kind of like the ones seen in KOTOR)


That's just an idea.  I am happy there is some interest to help me make some Dantooine buildings for a photonovel, but if you want to get the ball rolling on something soon, I have to admit I am many months away from being able to commit to anything for a photonovel, because I have at least 4-5 chapters before I can get to a Dantooine scene.  Maybe even longer... not sure yet.  I'd hate to disappoint everyone if my timing was later than expected.

Thanks,

Justin

if scale and difficulty is a problem , one could always use a backdrop for sand crawler

Of coarse sand crawler is not vital
