Kait, I want you to know that I am NOT new person here. I've been with the hive for awhile, and even before that, when it was wc3sear.ch. For some reason, my account did NOT go through the server transfer, and so I had to remake it. Also, I was thinking it would be a HUGE front post if I merged the pictures, so I decided it was better to list them under categories.
If you are going to do the person, I want you to base everything off a footman for the simplest solution. Just make it lego, keep animations, change the skin, take off attack animations, and change it so that he does not take out and drink a bottle of beer, but instead he takes out a sandwich and eats, like they did in the REAL LEGO Rock Raiders, made a long time ago.

EDIT: Ok... Um... A BLP file? That's only a picture... I thought you were making a model... Just seems reasonable. =.=
Ok... Well... I'm trying out the file.
The base model is a villager2?
