Haha, awesome, the one in red looks more like Burt Gummer from the Tremors movies.  ;D
The exploits of my life are less canonical than they are legendary.

I have to apologize for my front page story, it seems I don't know my Union from my Johnny Rebs. Minstrel I have fixed my error!

It is still an awesome idea though.

Tamer,
Thanks.  I am liking the idea of using historical events in SW.  Maybe I'll use WWII, The Roman Empire, or maybe the Civil Rights Movement.  Part of the inspiration to use the Civil War and the common enemy thing comes from Harry Harrison's "Star and Stripes"  trilogy.  In his alternate history, the British accidently attack a Confederate port city.

Love the crossover ideas!  These guys are just Star Warsy enough, but still clearly the era you're shooting for.

Do you plan on doing more Civil War-era figs in the future, or will you be switching back and forth?

As a social studies/history teacher myself, I'd love to see you tackle the Roman Empire as your next venture!   


Light side, dark side...meh.  Just give me a lightsaber and a blaster and I'll take care of it!

Hey!  I teach high school music.  Maybe I'll do a Clone Trooper marching band.  Been wanting to.  Have an ARC be the drum major.

I am a great fan of such crossovers, personally I would very much like to see a Star Wars-WW2 thingy!

Well, the Civil War dudes were meant to be part of the contest Mercuryartstudios is doing at Echo Base.  Wish me luck.

The Luke Skywalker in Imperial officer outfit from the Luke & Deena comic pack a few years back---with Admiral Ackbar's wand/baton---would serve well as the conductor!  Do you hve enough Umpass Stay drums from Jabba's palace on hand?   :D

And now, another addition to Clan Skirata.

Nyreen Vollen was a freighter pilot that threw in her lot with Clan Skirata and helping clones and Jedi.  The Nulls were hoping that she would become Kal's wife.  According to Karen Traviss' notes about the possible ending for the final book of Republic Commando that was never published, Ny and Kal do marry.

This is a Jedi from the Old Republic, Yen Stone.  Stone began her training around 3,000 years BBY.  It was a time of prosperity for the Republic at the same time, Jedi were recruited during the Cold War era.  In hopes of strengthening this "peace time" army, Stone trained in other skills besides her basic Jedi abilities.  Stone became an ace pilot during skirmishes against pirates.  She also, had jungle, desert, and water training with the Aldaraanian Guard.
