Great stuff, Longhorn! A lovely change of pace from the seriousness (but awesomeness) of your usual fare.
Funny, funny stuff!

Photonovels and Movies / Re: Star Wars: Old Friends ... Part One "NEW!"
« on: July 18, 2006, 11:55 PM »Here's some more current sculpts of some the characters:
TSC C-3PO-Ewok Diety
TSC R2-D2-Hoth
VTSC X-Wing Pilot Luke Skywalker
Besides the old figures *excluding the Gonk droid & his lil' buddy* the PN is pretty good.
I don't mean to pick on you personally, Artoo, as you are not the only person I've seen do this.
But I always think it's a little rude when people point out that they should buy better figures for their photonovels. Not everyone has cash to burn and not every figure is easy to come by, anyway.
Hell, Endor wave 3PO? It's just BARELY out now!
Frankly, a cool story and great dialogue (which this photonovel has in spades) are far more important that figure choices.
Let's try to have more feedback, folks. This is JD for crissake, not RS. Let's keep this thread going and give some props to our new member.

Saga Collection '06 / Re: TRU Hunt for General Grievous Battle Pack
« on: July 18, 2006, 07:24 PM »
Like EVERY battlepack, it's a mixture of good and bad.
But I'm used to that now. Jedi V. Sith was the best battlepack for me personally since I didn't already own that Grievious figure.
But everyone of them is a mixed bag.
Here we get two cool figures and three very mediocre ones. The red commander is good and the chain gun guy is cool, too. but the others are pretty sloppy kitbashes with no articulation. Good background filler, but that's it.
Still....my minimum for buying a battlepack is two good figures, so this one just scrapes by. I'm glad I bought it, but not overjoyed.

LOVE the droid! wish I had one! I can definitely see Lando owning this sleek, shiny, sexy model.
And I dig lando a lot too, but the cape doesn't quite fit. The rest of the outfit is great, though, very creative stuff!!

Great figure! Wow, you're crankin' em out! This is excellent! Very original design, nicely done!
I would love to see a "close up" of the head, to appreciate all the painting and sculpting you did.
But I love it. I have an extra Elizabeth that I've been trying to figure out what to do with. This is an inspiration.

WOW! AWESOME job!!
I love it, excellent work. I have one slight constructive criticism - I would try to get a really glossy black paint to paint her top with, to give it that shiny, leathery look.
Otherwise, this is aces!!

Wow, VERY imaginative job. Excellent use of parts and a wonderful paint job.
GI Joe figures often have great parts, but I don't like the awkward-looking pelvises (pelvi?) and the arms with their large and visible joints.
You found a way to combine the best of both worlds, great JOE legs and, ahem, torso while hiding the pelvis and eliminating the bad arms!
Great job!

SWEDE!!!
Really glad you joined JD, I hope you like it here. A different vibe than RS (nothing against it) and I think you'll enjoy yourself.
I'm DELIGHTED you brought your awesome photonovel here. We have a great, photonovel-friendly crowd and I hope that you get more replies here than at RS, where your work goes tragically underappreciated. In fact, I have been meaning to write a post at RS about the lack of feedback that many stories unfortunately seem to get. It's a shame.
(Ahem, JD-ers...let's get some chatter going here for this cool photonovel!!!)
Glad to have you here!!! As you know, I really love this story!

« on: July 17, 2006, 05:49 AM »
I love the update!
Great sets, great action. Zeedo was always my favorite badoo corba. Keep him alive for the long haul!
Get rid of Mubbas (just a retread of Trigg) and do more with Snodd, who is a cool, but underused character.
I also always liked ralbarra more than Borocca (probably because he just seems more fleshed out, as he's been in more chapters). Borocca's death was shocking the first time you did this story, but obviously knowing the outcome robs the impact.
But bring on Ralbarr!
Good stuff all around, Chewie, but I think it's time for a new, NEW chapter!

Wow, that IS really good! Very imaginatively done! Bravo. Excellent soft goods.
What head is that? I can't quite place it. Good choice for the character, though.
"Good night, but not good-bye!"

« on: July 14, 2006, 02:52 AM »
I like the Vos, but I LOVE the Sora Bulq!!! Awesome improvement to an already fine figure. He looks TERRIFIC!!
You did a very good job with Vos' hair, don't be too hard on yourself, but I am not crazy about the choice of heads.....still, some fine customizing!!

BEAUTIFUL pic.
Can't wait for a NEW chapter!!!!
Here's my only comment - Gunships are sweet looking vehicles - except from directly behind.
They look kinda boring, actually, from this angle. Next time, would it be possible to skew the angle slight while still achieving the effect of them flying away?
It would just look better, I think. Not your fault, obviously. The backs of these guys just look dull.

Celebration IV - Ultimate Group Project / Re: UGP : Vote for Planet Story -winner declared
« on: July 3, 2006, 03:57 PM »
Like a shmuck, I totally forgot to submit my entry. Oh, well, the winning concept is a great one.
I am not sure what the "dantooine feel" really means. But obviously this is just concept art. Obviously, the trees need to be thinned out a little so we can SEE the figures and such in the dio. I don't think that will end up being an issue.
Also, I think we should be able to see some of the mine entrances over in the mountain region.
Quick question about the backstory - since this takes place after ROTS, shouldn't the description reflect that the Alliance, not the Separatists, are the ones behind helping the natives on the planet?
