Another idea for a rebel soldier, if you're willing to rip the arms off some
characters...
I threw together a rebel soldier/commando in Endor gear by using Luke's torso
(from the speeder bike set--for the camoflauge jacket look), a pair of dark
grey arms, a helmet from one of the Adventurer airplanes with a green visor
(from a police officer minifig), a head from one of the Divers (I was looking
for a head with a little bit of beard stubble), and black legs. I also threw
on one of the backpacks from a speeder bike. The color scheme worked
beautifully, and he's very reminiscent of his "cousin" in the Snowspeeder set.
I also designed a nice blaster rifle by taking a pocketknife to a "gun"
(sorry, I don't know the part numbers, but this was the one that was very
popular on the classic Space sets--like the original Space Shuttle from the
late '70s) and one of those bullhorn-type pieces. I cut off the back of the
gun, the front of the bullhorn, and attach them. Definitely passable. Solid.
If I had a camera and a webpage, I'd show you, but you'll just have to use
your imagination. That's what Legos are there for.
