I have designed all of my UGP customs with the backstory in mind. I gave very reasonabl explantions for how they aquired a speeder and explained there organization. As of right now given your new guidlines we do not have all the Rebels needed for the UGP. Only 3 of mine have been deemed usable, which is fine, but we need to figure out what other figures we can use to fill in the gaps.

Here are some other Rebels figs we should consider.


It seems I was not the only one who liked the Rebel Insignias

The problem is that no one had any guide lines. I have never seen any post suggesting no Rebel insignias or Fleet Trooper helmets until just recently. Besides I don't agree with the guide lines being set now. I feel I have a fairly firm grip on Star Wars cannon and I see no reason why in the star Wars Universe that the Rebels should look like Endor Troopers in this Dio. Infact if this Dio take place in the early stages of the Rebellion it would be more accurate to see Fleet trooper style helmets, They wore them on Yavin and that was a secret jungle base. Infact we don't see the Endor style helmet until the end of the Rebellion.

 >:(I'm being a bit of a stuburn artist here. I get that we need more Civilians than Imps or Rebels, if you look at what I've made for this project to date wich is a lot, you'll see that I've made very few Imperials in fact these 3 are the only ones I've made. But I did make an entire squad of Rebels and at least 6 Civilians. My problem is that the figures that have been approved by 1 or 2 people for this project need to be altered to fit someone elses view of what Rebels in this situation would look like. I'm reluctant to make my customs look like crap to fit that point of view. I'd rather make new ones than alter the ones I've made already. The Mon Cal and Heavy trooper in paticular both look horrible without the gear and I really like the White Helmets and insignias. Yes I know the Heavy Trooper looks fine in the pics, but what you can't see is that he has a huge gap  between his pelvis and torso wich the gear hides. I agreed to paint the gun or he could just carry a rifle instead. If these two won't work, I'll make 2 more to your liking but not mine. I guess I'd rather you guys just tell me you can't use a custom rather than alter it to a point where I do not like it.

Well Ryan, like I told Chewie the Heavy Ordanance Rebel looks like crap without his gear so, I'd rather not use him at all. I have a head like that one I could slap on a Endor rebel body, since that seems to be what your going for. I no you've got all this real-world logic your trying to work into this thing, but real-world logic never much applied in Star Wars. I'd rather people say Wow! that looks cool, than worry about a Rebel insignia being to obvoius. Hell you've already taken all the creativity out of the Imperial customs, lets dilute the few actual custom figs we will have in the dio. It seems that this project is turning more into to a Diorama project rather than a custom project.

I just really like making these. This time I used an Airborn Trooper helmet. LMK what you think.

In spite of being ordered to do otherwise I decided to make some more  UGP Imperials. I really think that we need to add custom troopers as well. Lets face it Star Wars fans love troopers and we as customizers love to make them. Just look at the responses you get from a cool trooper custom compared to the responses you get from a Jedi or alien custom.

I think we are making a mistake not including more Imperial Customs in this project. Here is a custom I whipped up tonight to prove that Imperial customs can fit well into this project without looking too out of place.

LMK what you think.

Well,

That was a lot to digest. When I designed my Rebels I kind of invisioned them as a small harrassment force put together by a newly formed Rebelion. This groups main function was to disrupt the flow of resources to the empire. They don't have to be a large force because their mission is not to completely rid the planet of the imperial garrison but to bog it down using guerilla tasctics. Just another wrench wedged in the cogs of the Imperial machine. The speeder was designed to be an improvised peice of equipment salvaged from a wrecked Imperial speeder not a piece of standard issue Rebel equipment. When the idea of a Force unleashed theme was introduced I had to reimagine how my Rebels would fit into this theme. Considering there mission I figured, they could have learned that a Jedi or a small group of Jedi was pinned down or captured by the Imperials and the Genral decides that rescueing some of the few remaining Jedi in the Galaxy takes priority over there current mission.

That's how I imagined the Rebels fitting into this project. But I'll go along with the majority on how the would best fit in.

Sorry,

I thought I had posted the Recipe for the persian here.

Here you go


The Jump Jet Droid head is the Sheild Arm of one of those SD Gundam mini figs and the Jet-Pack is from a Sigma6 Air BAT The 2" Figs

Hope that helps,
