To make this group a bit more active, Let's make a theme. I'm not talking just a collection of models, but a planned out theme full of different factions. Each builder who participates makes a faction within the theme. Some ideas:

Neo-space: Space with M-tron, blacktron, ice planet, etc. Make a theme with different factions within the existing framework of LEGO space

Deep space: Humans have colonized the orion arm of our galaxy and are spreading outward. custom figures, endless possibilities

Ancient: custom minifigs, historically accurate castles, ringforts, villages, ships, things. Visigoths, scythians, romans, celts, vikings, etc.

So what do you think? would people here be interested in a big collaborative project like that?

For more on how to make a theme, look at some of my models. I have a few different collections that might give you an idea.

Alright listen up, people! We are now voting for a topic for our new collaborative! There are 3 main-subthemes: Medieval, Modern, Future. We will get into more specific topics later. For now, that's what we have. JWG 258 and I will be moderating the voting (if he wants to help). And also, inactive members WILL START TO BE KICKED. I'm sorry, but dead groups just aren't fun.

I will vote for a present day theme.

If there is seriously NO group activity at all, I just might start leaving comments on your creations to get your guys' attention. And I KNOW that you'll hate that. O_o

This sounds awesome! I would love to get in on this.

Any ideas for a theme? I have made a few half-baked attempts at themes, but they are all space. I would like to do something that LEGO hasn't done before, preferably not a modern or future military thing. After all the time I have spent around real military equipment, doing the same thing with plastic bricks seems less like play and more like work.

Well OK then. That might take some thinking. Which, at this point is bad, because I've hit a creativity block. This might actually help though!

Ok guys. We have 3 active people in this group. Sooooo...My ideas for revamp.

1. Make Night Reaper admin if more people don't start talking.

2. Update Group Pic to something cooler.

3. If you have friends in this group, tell them to be active!!
