The painting and modeling are top notch. Especially the layout which helped you create so many cinematic angles.

However the choice of characters leaves me confused. A very modern day looking cop with a strange mutant dog work together to flush out a sci-fi trooper from behind cover? I think a different model for the cop/security guard, or perhaps modeling the model to fit better with his dog would have done wonders for the piece.

I set this piece, as I do with almost all of my dioramas, in a world not too far removed from reality as we know it now. I liked the idea that these robotic, hybrid dogs are given to standard security guards as a way of protection. I like to think that someone behind a desk made a conscious decision that putting guards in exo-suits or heavy gear was too expensive for someone so expendable.

I get your point though, Bottle. For me, though, this dynamic was more fun. Thanks!
