Hope this wasn't out of line, but I set up a cafepress shop for the UGP. I've set all products at base price so I'm not making a dime off of it.  I thought those attending and/or manning the booth might like to order a shirt to wear with the logo and website address on it.

Here's the link:

I'm also thinking it might be cool if we have some nice pictures after the con to do a calendar, mousepads, commemoritive T, etc.

Anyhow, let me know what you think.

That stuff is cool. Would love to know parts used on that power building. And the array is cool. Never would have thought to use POTF2 R5 like that.

Thanks!
I really liked this Naboo wall Delaton did over at ffrurg:

I want to do one eventually, so I bought three PotC sets on clearance and stripped them down. As you can probably tell now, it's three wheels stacked together. The top is some plastic cap from the packaging to a cosmetic product my wife had. I saved a bunch of them because I thought they'd be useful (there's another on my building.) And the other bit is a wall adapter for an old phone.

Really glad you like the R5! I was afraid it might look too much like him. I have been wanting to find a use for that figure since we finally got a good version. I need to figure out how I'm going to paint it. Hopefully it'll minimize the likeness if I do it right.

E> - I think that stuff looks great.  Especially your buildings and the power plant.  What size are those?  This is really starting to come together!

Thanks! The plant is 8" in diameter. The buildings are 8"x10", the cylinder part is 6" tall. The building proper is a little shorter than I should have made it (about 1/4-1/2" taller than a figure), but I suspect you step down into the interior which is partly underground so it's ok. 

I can't figure out what to put in the hole where I was going to mount the cannon. Any ideas?

Cut a piece of clear plastic from a package and make it a skylight?

man, everyone's stuff is looking fantastic!

As for that.. Maybe if you want to paint up a few extras if you have time that'd be fine. Personally I think it will be overkill. But if you want to, make them so we will have them in case we change our minds on-site and decide to use them afterall.

Nah, if it's something that has a good chance of not being used I'd rather not waste the time.

Guys, we really need this thread addressed asap. I know everyone is super busy, but I see various folks are soliciting people on other forums to get involved. I know just personally I'm hesitant to do as much as I'd like because I don't know the answers to these and other questions. And searching 22 page threads is not going to cut it for new folks.

Surely all the project leaders could commit a few minutes to doing 5-10 Q&As for noobs for their sections? Please? 
I also think this thread should be stickied once we get some Q&A here.

Thanks!

I don't know if this would be overkill, but I have a ton of Palpatine holofigures (I'm sure everyone else does too, lol) that could be painted for small statues that could be peppered throughout the city. When you cut off his saber it doesn't look half bad.

How does this work? Do you just make a building? Does it need a base? What dimensions should it be? Is there a list of criteria somewhere?

I'm interested in doing something for this part while I have some free time.
