Most of the mecha we feature here on The Brothers Brick are standalone LEGO models all on their own. knobbyplastic goes farther to incorporate his menacing mecha into a diorama.
The crack going through the wall and windows on the gray building is a nice detail, as is the broken railing. The mecha doesn’t even take the central place in the photo, standing off to the side as if waiting to pounce. It’s an excellent composition, with a great balance between light and dark that draws the eye to the mecha even though the mecha isn’t in the middle of the picture.
I have to agree, the lighting was put on excellent! ;-)
Loving the bullet holes.
