Has the idea of Deathtroopers/ Zombies been tossed in yet? It seems to be a very popular trend.

 

[YAK_Chewie]

Hey Darth_Ennis!

I love the idea of Death Troopers / Zombies - it's been in the polls before, but has not won. No reason it can't be on there again.

A theme I'd also like to see at some point is Cantina Aliens.

:wink:

What about Hybrids?

The Darth Vader/Batman was a concept I'd kicked around for a while and costumers and customizers made it a reality. More mash-ups like that could be fun.

 

[Darth_Ennis]

Yeah long time no post. I mostly just lurk these days but I am itching to actually do some SW customs again. I love the hybrids idea too. With all the available 1/18th scale fodder out now I can really do some damage with whatever topic wins. I was just tossing the zombie idea out there. :mrgreen:

Not a bad idea at all.

Another might be for characters from The Phantom Menace, to coincide with the 3D release in theaters.

:wink:

 

[Rune Haako]

Sports Players
Separatist Droid Upgrades (Example. Super Commando Droid)
Labor/Worker Droids (Could be for any kind of labor/work.)

 

[Tonphanan]

I like The Phantom Menace idea

Spice miners

Medics (Clone wars- New Republic)

Tibanna gas miners

 

[darth_sidious]

TPM makes sense, with the release of the movie in theaters, but I honestly dont know what I'd make from that movie...

 

[Trooper31]

TPM would be intersting, but I think the idea of regular workers in the universe (spice miners, tibanna gas miners, etc) would be cool as well.

 

[drod26]

I like the idea of common workers from the star wars universe. This would be cool I think.

Another ideas:
Mechanics and their droid.
Concept characters

 

[YAK_Chewie]

Some nice ideas. We'll probably start the voting tonight.

:wink:

 

[Jedighost009]

Labor workers sounds like a great theme with lots of variety. 8)

 

[YAK_Chewie]

I like that Cantina aliens has pulled out in front now... that could be a great theme if it wins.

:wink:

 

[drod26]

This is going to be a close race. Very cool to see so much interest on the boards.

 

[Orangepeace]

Zombies! Zombies! Zombies! Great fun, though so are the other choices!

 

[YAK_Chewie]

Cantina Aliens won with 8 votes - official announcement will be coming soon!

:wink:

 

[drod26]

So aliens it is.. This will be fun!! Time to start collecting parts!!

 

[YAK_Chewie]

I'm thinking we should open this up to allow for humans too, any Cantina Denizens I think would be fine? Any objections to that?

OR

:wink:

 

[darth_sidious]

Thats a good idea - it will add variety to the challenge. I also think it shouldnt be limited to just Chalmun's Spaceport Cantina / Mos Eisley Cantina type patrons. We should use PT aliens as well, to add a bit of diversity to our cantina dioramas. :wink:
