Do you mean "older members" as in actual age, or post count? cause I may be a newbie member here, but I've been customizing for a good 15 years, had 6 years of art, an dwhen I worked full time, I was in charge of handling over 4 million dollars worth of product a year...
just wanted to know what you meant by "older members" 

I agree, lets get our "Governors" first of each region... or maybe "Moffs", then when we get that established, we can better spread the word.

How should we break down the different sections that we can have people take charge of?
I was thinking something like:

1. Natural Terrain-Rocks, Caves, Bodies of water, Trees, foliage and other Landscape)
2. Manmade structures- Building, fences, towers, bridges
3. Imperials- Characters that fall under imperials
4. Rebels-Characters that fall under The Rebels
5. Townsfolk-anyone not affiliated with another faction in the "town"
6. Mercenaries/Bounty Hunters- Self explanatory
7. Animals-All types of animals
8. Other World Patrions-Ones that do not fall under any other group
9. Land and air vehicles-small crafts as speeders, speederbikes, swoops
10. Starcrafts /Starships- Larger Space ready crafts

That's all I can think of right now, and I'm sure some of the smaller ones could be combined, and maybe others split up, but I think that's a good start of different groups we could have people in charge of, what do you guys think?

SWEETness... 4 pages already, lol.. I'd love to help on this, I was actually thinking about this last night, one thing I'd like to see done is make sure we have someone incharge of certain things like the certain "armies" or types of "people" we'll have populating the diorama.
One thing I'd hate is for thngs to get started and when people start submit, you get 100 people sending you clone trooeprs with plaint splotches thrown on them...

I say get a couple "Team Leaders", have them incharge of certain factions, and set limits..
I'm not too versed in GAR military procedures and specifications(though, I have a insider somewhere that has some stuff in it)... but I'd like to see a cap on the amount of troops.
I'm all for the time frame between RotS and the OT, and if you think about it, it'd be perfect cause of what they'll have in store for us at C4(the new animated series and the live action series)...
I'd be all for helping out getting things started and sorted out... I'm a stay-at-home-dad, I only work part time on Tuesdays and the weekends... so I'd have the time.


I like Chewies idea about Owens work.. and I'd be all for chipping in a good $50 for it.. but like someone stated, I think there should be a cap on that.

I think before we continue to throw out ideas, we decide on the 2 main things...TIME PERIOD and PLANET.
Once we get those settled, I think we can go from there...
How about a couple polls on the different boards to get that settled and then we can move on?

I know it's still early, but one thing I think it would be nice to decide on is what phase of Imperial armor the troops will have... I think it should be consitent...

Should it be Phase 2 as seen in ROTS, or the helmets the Stormtroopers wear in the OT?  I'd love for them to have on OT helmets, but realize getting Phase 2 troopers would be a lot easier.  Plus those are really damn popular.

 

You did some hybrid troopers, mixing them between the prequel and OT... i think that would work beautifully for this.
That way w arent just repainting clones, we are transitioning them. Any Stormtroopers would be the "first batch" of these new model troopers.

I think this could be a good idea.. maybe we could all agree on a set look, that way they look semi-uniform... lol.. amd maybe have a couple stragglers off to the side...
I could see a Jango series, all old and grey sitting in a cantina drinking away his sorrows, lol.
