There's nothing really "wrong" with the 405th, it's more the fact that the majority of members are a younger generation, more or less lack the same level of experience in prop making/related, not to mention, maturity.
While I see alot of great builds going on, I feel that they sometimes are "lost" within the forums. It has ALOT of subforums, practically narrowing down categories that are specific, but still broad. Most of the good builds are buried beneath these subforums and hardly see the light of the main page. I thinks it's really just too congested...
