Firts we get da Spice den we get da credits DE we get da WOMEN!!!
WE HAVE NO FEMALES AHHHHHH!
-
Any one of those Gran, Bith, Rodian, or Ithorinas could be female...
-
Chewie - I like the force unleashed spin. It would be a fun way to tie in some of the new ideas from the Video game.
As far as my contributions, just about any of my random aliens could be available for the project. I've pulled a few of the pictures from my other sources. None of these were made specifically for the UGP but all are available

I'll probably dig out several more as well.

I'll jump in as well. I have a few projects I am working on now that I have some time available. I have a good collection of custom figures I could donate over here (http://www.sarges-customs.com/ffmiscellaneous.htm). I'll try to get some females pushed out over the next week and post here.

Here are the items I have ready so far. If you guys think the custom Imperials will look too out of place I will not send them.

hey, looks like there are some great customs being put into this. here's my little contribution so far. i included thier names and made some comments next to some of them, but they can be used for whatever sort of chrecter the group decides on! :)

=Tri Sunor= Mercenary & Jedi Killer (former Jedi Master)
(http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y222/battlemunky/Custom%20Jedi/tri4b.jpg)
A Survivor of the Battle Of Geonosis, The Clone Wars and Order 66, former Jedi Master Anzor Sunor is a great warrior and a force to be reckoned with. After fighting his way through battalions of traitorous Clones, watching the fall of the Jedi Order and sensing the coming darkness closing it's grip on the galaxy, Tri, as many other Jedi, assumed another identity and went underground. Sheding his Jedi robes, he took up the title of mercenary. Anzor changed his name to Tri, armed himself well, including a modified heavy blaster he "reappropriated" from a dispatched ARC Trooper and carried 2 lightsabers, claiming to be a Jedi killer to amplify his mercenary persona. The 2 lightsabers are actually his own and that of his fallen Padawan, who was killed during Order 66. Tri has become a wanderer, hoping one day to somehow bring justice back to the galaxy and return the Jedi Order to it's former place in a broken galaxy.
Tri was last seen on Dantooine with a small faction of the growing Anti-Empire movement. His current whereabouts are unknown......
(might be good for one of the survivor jedi that is battling a group of stormtroopers you mentioned chewie.)

Very good stuff Jedistyle. All of those will add great variety to the diorama.
Also are you guys cool with a small bit of Force Unleashed added? I started working on a badly injured Jedi that I thought might look cool on his knees as Vader prepares to give him a final death blow...
:P
-
You guys are so frickin' talented! Here are the 6 I've sent Phruby so far; the last one was a concept for the security force, but I'm not thrilled with him. If you guys want him in, maybe he can be a starship tech or something...

those llok great diago! nice accesories and sculpting. thats a good number of customs, civilian wise, so far. what else should we be shooting for as far as customs, what do we need. i'm sure few ladies right? any type of key customs we need, like bar tenders mechanics, droids?
-
Dagobah, I think the last one is great and should be somewhere in the scene.
Jedistyle, I think a few women would be great for additional citizens.
Anyone have any feedback on the Force Unleashed idea to add to this?
:P
-
I hope to post pics tonight of the Jedi...
:P

Here he is. This poor fellow has been through hell, hunted down by Vader years after the fall of the Republic.

If nobody likes this idea please let me know... I don't want to be pushing a Force Unleashed theme onto anyone. But my time is dwindling down fast on what I can contribute. If I am going to make another Jedi for this, I need to know pretty soon.
Thanks guys!
:wink:
-
i personaly like the force unleashed style. it would be a cool addition to an already cool theme and would be in keeping with all the hype and new stuff everyone is excited about! :)
if this is somthing that is a go chewie, and your time is short, i'd be more than happy to put together another jedi for it. i have the one already posted in this thread but i can definetley do another. in fact i'm working on a female "purge" survivor right now.
-
I definitely think we should do the Force Unleashed theme.... It really matches well with everything that is currently going on.
-
here's a female twilek i threw together for the custom challenges at yakface and at galactic archives. she might be good for thge ugp also. might be a good survivor jedi or a bounty hunter or somting along those lines.

If I may add my $.02 about the Force Unleashed... I think it's a great theme and will capture the attention of the right people. It's a multi-media marketing blitz for Hasbro, Del Ray and the gang, so you should really consider playing that up quite a bit actually... Tie it together with FU and the gang running the show will look more favorably on your project in general I believe.
-
Great custom that will fit in nicely for this Jedistyle, she's awesome. Is the head from GTG that Ben made?
And thanks Jesse - I agree, any sort of Force Unleashed theme with it could really generate some interest. I say we go for it... it might not hit the exact theme we were thinking of at the beginning of the project, but I think we need to try and take advantage of the excitement that it is generating.
On a side note, I haven't heard back yet from Niub Niub regarding an email I sent him. I'm assuming everything is still fine with us using a 6x9 space though in his area.
:P
-
The Force unleashed is a good idea. I think I can work it into any leaflets we pass out.

I guess it's settled then... if anyone has an objection speak now or forever hold your peace. :)

No I hate it! just kinding I don't care.

here is another jedi i put together. she wasn't done for the UGP but chewie suggested at yak that i submit here for one of the fugitive jedi in the ugp. so here she is. i do realize that she is very "traditional jedi style", no pun intended, so if she isn't quite right for the UGP, my feelings won't be hurt. so let me know what you guys think! :)
Jedi master Bii-Trow was in the Jedi Temple when "Order 66" was issued. She is gifted with remakably powreful healing skills and was tending the wounds of several Jedi that had just come back from battle across the galaxy when Darth Vader and the 501st marched into the temple. Master Bii-Trow fought bravely against the clone trooper of the 501st, trying desperatly to evacuate the wounded Jedi she was tending. Despite her best efforts and all her Jedi skills, she barely managed to save her self and 2 of the 6 wounded Jedi. Master Bii-Trow and her Jedi bretheren made thier way through the crumbling temple and hoards of troopers to escape to the underbelly of Courosant, where they were able to barter passage of planet before the Jedi were denounced as "traitors" to the Republic. The current whereabouts of Bii-Trow and her fellow Jedi are unknown.......

That looks pretty sweet jedistyle. I really like the extra set of arms there.
BUT, I don't know that it is right for the UGP. Personally I don't think we should have any more than one or two Jedi, maybe three, TOPS. I understand we are going with a Force Unleashed theme so I can buy a few Jedi, but anymore than three would be completely unrealistic, relatively speaking of course. The reason the Jedi split up was to avoid attention. If the Emperor/Vader/Imperial Intelligence, found a bunch on some backwater planet all at once, there would be no reason to send Vader to hunt them down. They could just park a few Star Destroyers in orbit and blow the hell out of the planet, and sent Vader and the troops in afterwards.
-
it is highly unlikley that there would be more than 2 or 3 jedi in a group, on one planet. but with this particular planet, the ugp planet, there is a large resource that the imperials are interested in, spice if i remeber correctly from the front page reading on the ugp site, so they couldn't park stardestroyers in orbit and raze the planet or they'd lose that resource. and i like to think that vader would want to dispatch some jedy personaly, purge style. :D
but yea, i thought it was a bit to traditional jedi for the ugp, just thought i'd throw it out there! :)
-
I think that htree Jedi is definitely tops for the diorama. I am thinking two live ones fighting some Stomrtroopers and a third getting slain by Vader.
I do like the idea of this one that Jedistyle made as being in ti. Perhaps we that like to make Jedi throw a few customs out there of Jedi that are in the Force Unleashed style (which looks like it might be the Yakfinities March Customizing Challenge) and just use three that we like.
And this one that I made -

(http://www.yakface.com/toyguide/dioramas/chewie/021907jedi2.jpg)
...doesn't have to be one of them by any means.
:P
-
I agree with Ryan that you guys should limit the # of Jedi...
I think you guys should keep your theme of a "Star Wars World", dont' change that at all... But instead fold into it the "Force Unleashed" idea... Nothing to say your "world" can't be during the time of the Jedi Purge post Order 66 where the remaining however many are being hunted down...
You have two jedi in the town (3 tops, and I'd seriously consider a child/padawan around Zet's age as a 3rd, not another adult) "hidden" around the town, kind of a "Where's Waldo" of Jedi... Have CHEWIE's maybe caught, or being defeated by Vader somewhere on the town... Maybe have his compatriots watching helplessly from somewhere, or maybe even getting a little help from the Rebel Cell... Have them help the Jedi out of the city boundaries or some such.
Keep your main SW World theme though and incorporate the FU into the UGP on the sly... It doesn't need to be a centerpiece/focus of it. It's still a Star Wars World you guys created, now just with a little taste of something Lucasfilm's really going to be jamming at SW fans in 2007/08.

I'm happy to say that this picture is outdated:
(http://images1.snapfish.com/347%3A79579%7Ffp347%3Enu%3D3233%3E3%3B4%3E%3B36%3EWSNRCG%3D3233%3A9837%3B69%3Cnu0mrj)
I think it's safe to guess that I have almost double what is here now (close to 500 pieces.)
I know it's mostly regular figs, but you so have to have some of those to help populate.
That said, I have a specific Battalion worked out. Would a full battalion of 576 pieces be too much for the Dio? Also, I have four squads that are customs that I don't have the material to make and I'm sure some have already made these figures. They are:
Black uniform (non-jumpsuit) officers x 15
Grey jumpsuit officers x 14
Would anyone be able to help fill out the ranks for the dio if needed?
-
Anthony, sometimes you scare me. ;)
-
Anton - that is quite a collection. I think its probably already too many. However, I'd rather have too many than not enough!
-
I agree on the focus being Imperial domination, not a Force Unleashed theme. Three Jedi tops is all this diorama should have, and they're not the focus. I agree one should be being captured or slain by Vader, perhaps the other two in the distance seeing what is happening or they are in an entanglement with some Stormtroopers. Just seeing a smal Jedi presence I think is bound to capture some people's attention, especially if one of them is this one by Jedistyle -
(http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y222/battlemunky/Custom%20Jedi/erik6013.jpg)
Anton - WOW. You are the man. I'd say we could use something along these lines in terms of Imperial army builders, as we don't want it to be too overcrowded -
Stormtroopers - 60 (probably have a group of 20 or so in formation by an Imperial shuttle, and a few squads, a group of 8-10 fighting the two surviving Jedi, a few standing guard here and there, and a group fighting the small rebel group) - it might also be cool to have 2-3 of them with rank pauldrons from Sandtroopers?
Scout Troopers - 10 (maybe most of these could be out in the wooded area)
Imperial Officers - 10 (scattered throughout)
Death Star Gunners - 6 (maybe all in one small area together)
AT-AT drivers - don't think we need any, even if we have an AT-AT, they are in Hoth gear and might be out of place
AS-ST drivers - 6 or so might look good
Royal Guards - zero, I don't think the Emperor will be present on the planet
:P
-
Imagine if Grievous actually used a both a blaster and two saber (as does the above custom). Obi would not have stood a chance.
-
Thanks again Anton. :)
As far as what we need, I'd say two platoons would work nicely. One platoon should be exclusively Stormtroopers. The other one can have maybe two squads worth of stormies. One squad with a mix of Scout troopers and AT-ST Drivers. And the other can be officers and technicians. I'd say no Death Star Gunners, since they are Naval gunners and wouldn't likely be on the planet. Probabbly no AT-AT Drivers either. And no AT-AT... I hate the Kenner version. I think a few of fritz's speeder tanks would look MUCH better
-

Platoons or Companies?
Batallion: 576 Troops (4 Companies)
Company: 144 Troops (4 Platoons)
Platoon: 36 Troops (4 squads)
Squad: 9 Troops
-
Platoons. So half a company.
-
Couldn't we have a couple Death Star Gunners to compliment one of these, since it's a turbo laser? Would it be too off for there to be gunners in the traditional Death Star gear manning it?
(http://www.owenscustoms.com/towerfigs2.JPG)
I'm really getting excited about this guys. I wish so bad I was able to go to C4.
:P
-
Geez, this is moving fast now! It's a small contribution, but I have an extra POTJ Sandtrooper that I'll also gladly donate. I may weather him a bit for a more forested decor.
-
Platoons. So half a company.
Cool. So how about this?
1st Platoon
-All Squads (36) Stormtroopers
2nd Platoon
-1st Squad (9) Imperial Troopers
-2nd Squad (9) Scout Troopers
-3rd Squad (9) At-St Drivers
-4th Squad
--1st team (4) black jumpsuit officers
--2nd team (4) Grey jumpsuit techs
--Commanding Officer (1) Black tunic officer
-
Are the gray jumpsuit techs the Hasbro version or customs? I have some of the AT-ST driver with Imperial Officer heads that look pretty cool that might work out?
:P

That officer is GREAT. He could be Vader's sidekick...
:P
-
You guys know the new BARC Speeder that comes in the Treachery on Saelecumi battle pack? I have 6 of them that I could send... might help take up some space in the city if we need an area to fill. They could be line up next to each other with a technician or a droid inspecting them.
:P
