I could see little alley battles going on with a few ragtag Rebels that way. 

You mean as if it was in the midst of an attack or uprising by rebs? That would be pretty cool... And might just take care of the need to show where the rebs are stationed....

1) H3LL Y34H!!

2) Justin, PM me, please I'd love to hear your thoughts!

3) I'd love to have a chat, but can we actually manage to get enough of us together at the same time? 

Ooo! Cool man 

I really like the added color to the Probe Droid, and I forgot to mention that I love the FX-7 arms on the medical droid!

Early Rebel Medical Droid
I actually really like the arms & color on this one - it looks like it belongs on a back-water world, in a good way


Early Rebel Probe Droid
While I REALLY like what you did w/ the tracks & the radar dishes, I actually don't care for the color on this one - I look at it & keep finding myself expecting it to be painted up in multiple shades of brown, rust, and gray & gray/pink. Like a car made up of parts that all had primer applied by different people...  hope that made sense...


Rebel Trooper
Nice work 'Stylez! I dig the trooper mixed with arm & shin wraps. He's kinda dark, but still looks like he'd fit right in with some rebellious, down & dirty guerrilla fighters. Please do post the back story!


Rebel Tank
Er, actually, I hate to say it, 'specially seeing as how I usually like Owen's work, but I don't really care for it... I guess it's that the sides look too flimsy, and the over all shape it a little too simplistic for my taste... It's nice, but were it mine, (which it aint, of course), I'd maybe put some railing on the out side wall, (2 pipes, full side length, wrapping around to the back, one bigger than the other, smallest on top, just bellow the current side/back-handles), a canopy cover over the front, and maybe some comm equipment here & there...  But that's just my 0.02$

Over all, awesome stuff, I can't wait to see it all in action!

And here's to a new start with the new year!

Hey cool! Progress And I've updated the first post to reflect it. I'll update more tomorrow.

SECTIONS:
Seems like we most of us agree that there needs to be the following, general sections:
FIGUREs, VEHICLEs, DIORAMAs, SPONSORs, C4,  & CREDITs (I really like the Credits idea!).

I'd say the only real difference between your sections & mine, DmG, is that each of your sections for customs have the word Concept in them, and I listed Concepts as a separate section.... (well, That and a Contact Us page.)

Seeing as how we don't have the official word on what will & won't be in the UGP world yet, I think we can safely dispense with the word Concept all together. We don't really need a separate section for it, and we can cover both Concepts & 'Official' UGP Figs, Vehicles, & Dios under those 3 customs sections. And I like the idea of thumb-nailed pics too.

As for the Contact Us page: I'm not sure that we need one, but then again, most sites do have them.
We don't really have any phone numbers, or an address, so really, the only thing left would be emails. I'm thinking we can put those in the Credits section tho.... What do you guys think?

JD & the YAK:
Links to Yak & JD boards could go into the Credits or Sponsors section, or they could be added on to the main page somewhere (like a side bar or something). Either way, they should definitely be on the site somewhere. Good Call!

---

FRAPPER MAP:
The Frapper map seems to be working now - not sure why it wasn't before. But either there was a temporary glitch, or Patreek fixed it  - if you did, thank you, mon ami!

---

CMSs:

...but I don't know if a CMS type of site is really needed for this style of website.  It really depends on how frequent the site is going to updated and how much info is going posted.  Is the site going to be more of a site to showcase our ideas and progress or are we going to use the site to everyone update of the whole project.  I see the JD and Yak forum sections as the main way for project discussion and updates.

I agree with Phalanxx on this point. While it might open things up to more participation, it feels like JD & the Yak already serve the purpose to me.
How do you non-WebTeam UGP folk feel about this?

DmG:

not sure what I can do but ill help out where I can. I changed a bit on my site too. Not sure what else I can add to it at this point, maybe a personal info page for who ever is involved with the project.

Dude, you're helping just by giving us all a second take on the UGP site! 
Question for you tho: I'm not sure I know what you mean by "personal info page for who ever is involved with the project." Do you mean a Credits section kind of page, or like a section of short bios for the members (cuz that'd be pretty cool too)?

Ooo! Thanks for the heads up, MP!
