Teriffic narative on the piece! Very appropriate to be sucking the life out of a classic rival. :) I agree though, a little bit better lighting for the model would bring out the best in it. Also, I really like the use of the retro backpack. Great job!
Excellent diorama, really nice style of painting and good conversion work - I think extra lighting (maybe some daylight bulbs?) and maybe a lighter background cound really help the photos and bring out your hard work! Well done!
