Funny, I just started playing that game this week. I will join if we get a clan running

Are you in favour of revising the colour standards (still needs tweaking)? Yes Are you in favour of an improved aesthetic including updated photos showing more detailed sections? Yes Are you in favour of a more interactive planning process such as one based on Google Docs (still needs tweaking)? Ye...

If there is a spot I will sign up again. Thanks

The only pro's I have heard so far are the figs. Anyone have any thoughts about the sets vs. LOTR or Hobbit sets?

In 75037 Battle on Saleucami I see what looks like a new 1x2 curved piece in olive on the terrain piece in the upper right. Cool to see that new plant piece in olive. I see some cool swamps in the future with a mixture of those plants in various colors. Frank I think that slope has been in the newe...

Yes, I could get behind some new color combo's. These Lions and Dragons seemed a little been-there-done-that to me. Although I do like the black torsos. I have been turning them backwards.

Sorry for the confusion. Josh has been the awesome castle coordinator at Brickcon for several years. On his watch the castle section has become one of the most populated themes there.

I'll help too. I won't know for sure for a few months my schedule for next fall but count me in if I can help.

Blue your display was a different type of castle but we could fit any type into a collaborative display. In my own opinion the point a con collaboration is not to look ultra-realistic (like one castle and lots of space) but have lots to look at. Could be many castles/villages/farms/landscape all rol...
