WEll, I'm not good at stories or names or any of all that, so I'll just throw out a couple of ideas I had.  I also like the look of both Chewies and Glassmans drawings, though I'd like to see a little less forset and more rock/mountain land and grasslands on eachside of it, maybe right at the edge of the city, there's a couple fields and hills, then a forest, then rocks and the mountain.
Even thoguh I think a forest would look real cool.. I'm afraid it will tale away from a lot of stuff that can be put in and around it...

I like the big Imperial tower in there.. I'd like to see some sort of "Medieval Castle" take on it.. back then, the way a castle was constructed, was the main living area was in the center, then there was a smaller wall, and then the "town" where the peasants lived... In a way, I think this would look cool.. Yet I dont mean making an actual Medieval looking castle/tower, but just using the layout/look of one for the Imperial Tower and the town surrounding it.

Another thing I was thinking was maybe making the setting in a cooler, almost winter climate... Hear me out.. thinking about the construction process, I think this would work in out favor... we could have a setting where, it's like the beginning of a winter cycle, that way, when we start to piece together the thing, if there's any inconsistencies in the terrain, we could easilt get some fake snow and cover up small areas, so it jus tlook like snow drifts or what not...  I think it'd also help in the trees area, I mean, making forests and treas can be a huge undertaking, not to mention, how well will the "leaves" look?? If we go with a cooler climate, we could ditch the leaves, and have bear trees, and I think this would actually help in the forest.. at least you could  set up a number of mini dios going on in the forest.. and not worry about people straining to see throught the foiliage..

Someone mentioned using stone tiles.. and I like this idea.. but that can add a lot of weight to the project.. what about buying some cheap linoleum floor tiles.. buying some of that stone/rock spray paint and going over them with that? And to make it even more effective, there can be a different number of sprays used for streets, clear areas in the town/outpost...

I'm for being set between EP3 and 4.. I dont know if this has been set in stone or not, but I really think this will be good cause, that's what Lucas is gonna be working on and most likely what we'll be seeing at C4, stuff for the animated and live action show...

If we pick that time frame(like I said, I dont know if it has been or not), I'd like to see a good clone/stormtrooper hybrid... I think one easy simple solution would be to use a stormtrooper helmet on a clone body.. I think clones are a lit easier to find than "good looking" stormtroopers... and I think we could also use snowtrooper/Galactic marines here as well...

I like the idea of a Hutt "crimeloard" of some sorts.. maybe we could build his "palace" in the mountains.. and that'd be perfect for a slew of seedy characters as we saw in RotJ in Jabba's Palace.

I mentioned in the main thread, but I'd like to see something like a race track of some sort, at first I mentioned a swoop track, but with thinking about the cooler climate, maybe a different kinda speeder race track of some sorts. the main reason I wanna do something like this, was I think this could be our one way of each contributing something that would represent who we are in the real world.. we could each customize a speeder/swoop/hovercycle whatever it is.. and put it in there, maybe even do how nascar and Rally racers do and put our name on the "car"...  This way, even if someone did help in the planning, construction, figures, vehicles, or whatever.. you wouldn't really know who did what(I'm talking about the passerbys at the con).. but if we say put a little stand up near the "race track" and had a list of the vehicles(maybe by number) and the vehicles, we could explain how each "race car" represented a customizer that worked on the project...

Anyway.. that's all I can think of right now.. let me know what you guys think... I'm off to go watch Macguyver lol..

what about those OCC 1:18th bikes... I remember they looked pretty cool... and were discounted, so I'm sure you could find them for cheap on ebay...

And I think they made a 1:10th scale too

looking cool, I'm really liing the bridge.. might I suggest poking some wires into the broken off parts of the bridge, maybe even adding some "chunks" of bridge bits to the ends of the wires... and of course.. I cant find a single picture to help explain what I'm talking about, lol

EDIT:
although not a "bridge" http://wickedcollectibles.com/images/products/mcfarlane/mc_0011.jpg
kinda helps explain what I'm talking about.. see the piller next to him.. that's the look I was talking about.

Ok. Sorry for the delay. I've had some technical problems. Here are the project leaders that I would like to have over the various teams.

Assistant Project Leader - Production:   Chewie
Team Leader - Concept Art / overall design :   Glassman6
Team Leader - Diorama design / production : Ryan
Team Leader - Figure and vehicle creation:  Darth_Ennis

I havn't choosen the logistics and planning committee yet. I've been too overwhemed with emails right now and I'm still sorting thru them.

My only problem with this is like some have stated already.. shouldent we worry about the logistics and planning first? lol.. I mean, technically, the other guys cant really do anything without those chosen first... I know you said you'd get to them.. but it seems like that should have been done first...
I dont see any problem with smartypants being the secretary... give the kid a chance.. if it becomes too much, or it seems like he's not pulling his end, Phruby can slap him around(not physically)... and get him in gear... Kevin, this is a "group project" we need to work together, tearing the kid down before he gets a chance isn't helping

If you guys think that's a good Idea.. just Quote mine and add to it

CHEWIE - St. Louis, MO
Ross, New Baltimore, MI
Adam, Fort collins,??

I'm liking this new one... I kinda like the wall, If I were an Impeial Higher ranking officer stuck on some remote mudball, I think I'd want a wall seperating me from the wilderness while I sleep at night.

A couple of things I'd like to see is a little less forest... maybe after the wall, we can have some rolling hills plainlands.. then a small forest/swamp(might be easier to do swamp like trees than fll spring time leafy trees anyway).. then the rocks and mountains.

Hey guys, I just wanted to throw this out there, this guy's closing his shop up:
http://www.bountyhuntertoys.com/miva/merchant.mvc
It's in Canada, so all prices are in Canadian dollars(so keep that in mind if it seems a bit high), he takes paypal, and id you USE THE PROMO CODE 'MIKE' YOU GET 35% OFF!!!

Thre's not much left, but I thought some people could get some stuff for fodder, I know there's a Ozzel, Cpt. Antillies, and 4 Dutches still there, I had them in my cart, but it was getting pricey, lol...

He also has GI Joes that could be used for fodder..
Just wanted to throw this out there, hope it's not against any rules or anything, if so, I'll remove it

The river could be dried elmers glue with blue dye.
I used to see it done on models. It doenst have to be real water.

They make some stuff they sell in the model train area where you melt and it's like liquid plastic.. I have a bag somewhere, lol.. I'll have to dig it out... I think it'd look better than glue
