My son Cameron and I share our birthday. On October 17, 2012, he will turn 10 and I will be 34. He's the best birthday gift I ever received. He is also a Minecraft FANATIC. He plays on the pc, xbox, android, builds Steve out of Legos, draws Minecraft comics, and writes scripts for Minecraft movies. The kid is seriously addicted. I think it would knock his socks off to get a Minecraft birthday card this year. I've seen a lot of the awesome work you guys do in creative mode, but could never pull-off anything close to it. So I'm asking the Minecraft creative community if you'd be interested in making a small "Happy Birthday" creative scene for my boy. I think he would love it. I'd be happy to post pics of his reaction, and be sure he wrote a thank-you post to everyone involved. I would be eternally grateful too. I appreciate everyone taking a moment to read this.
P.S. He loves the color blue, LEGO Star Wars, and Notch is his hero.
THis is AWESOME!!! HE's going to be so excited! (I might even show him this thread when it's all done, he reads the forum over my shoulder)
He LOVES the LEGO Star Wars guys, so a stormtrooper on one side and Notch on the other (8-bit style?) would make his day. I know all this stuff takes forever so I don't want to ask for much. You guys have carte blanche. Do whatever you think a 10 year old would think is cool (remember, his great grandma will be there). Thanks again guys, I knew you'd come through!
Everyone who makes something will get a personal thank you from Cam and I on (or slightly after, to allow for cake hangover) our birthday!

I'll post one too, your son may have several gifts.

I will do a Stormtrooper as realistically as Minecraft can allow if I can just do that.
It would seem as though my next project will have me inside a magma filled world (decipher this for my "gift"). The bright side? Over a month to build.
Also, is there a name I can use for the base/facility?
Happy birthday, Minecraft addict!
*PEW PEW*
*Stormtroopers and Clonetroopers enter the battlefield and fight*
*PEW PEW PEW!*
*Steve and other Minecraft characters enter and attack the Stormtroopers, using TNT, swords, and wearing armor, etc*
*Jedi's enter and start battling viciously, and other famous Star Wars characters*
*The Dark side seems to be winning, but then a message pops up:*
*"Notch has joined the game"*
Notch kills all the bad guys, the good guys jump in a big whoop, and they all have a party for the kids birthday, then go to bed, and so does the birthday boy.
Awesome awesome awesome! All this is way more than I could have imagined! I'm grinning from ear to ear reading all the replies. Landmine, not sure what you need for a name... But Cam had a webpage called "Cameron's Starportal" (he's a nerd like his dad)
Hey man I dont mind helping, If you want i can have notch sitting in a giant airplane shooting a creeper (the airplane will mainly be blue with a yellow cross across it to represent the swedish flag, i can also add a giant sign with tnt cannon over it saying "Happy Birthday Cameron!" and i can make a giant birthday cake, let me know if you would like something like that
Ummmmmhhh... are you sure you preffer a bunch of unknown people from the net to make the most special gift your son is ever going to receive instead of creating it yourself?
I... am not sure that is such a good idea?
And anyway I get the feeling that someone has to play the Devil's advocate, and I usually don't like to be that guy, but I used to be too adicted to videogames as a kid and as a teenager as well, and it was hard for me to stop taking games too seriously. I don't know how adicted your son is to this game, and I realize he is still young, but, acording to your OP, the sooner he "knows" that games are just games, the better. (I know this may sound silly, but this game is VERY adictive, and, as every adiction, is dangerous when you are too young to be able to control it.)
Thanks for the concern. Cam is really well adjusted and has many other interests. He is limited to an hour of mc a day during the week, and understands it's just a game.

I can't build very good looking stuff.
But isn't the Minecraft community (as a whole) just a little better than the internet?
I have faith someone will come through...
Edit: I'm starting work immediately. Want me to post update pics as the progress comes or just when it's finished?
EDIT: It's Done! Sorry for the shortness, just threw something together. It isn't special, I didn't have "Time"

I cant wait to see the finished product. Cam is going to glow in the dark when he sees all this!
Good?
That is really good. I would never get anything like this for my birthday, except for clothes and fruit.
Also, is there a name I can use for the base/facility?
