Ladies and gents, the Känguru!

After a thorough review of the Titan Battlemech, Germanica's Ministry of Defence commissioned ABS Defence Systems to create a lightweight support platform capable of supplementing infantry in Urban terrain.
The final product ~~silenced all critics of the program~~ blew the critics away with its exceptional combat performance.

Can utilise jump-jets and the Boom Box to, you know, jump around

The Känguru is six inches tall. It comes equipped with two size 3 plasma rifles, two size 2 mortar launchers, and a Boom Box.

The Boom Box can be used to drop beats, increasing the morale of local troops. It is particularly effective when the squad is facing off against a superior force, challenging them to a rap battle. Mics can be thrown to the contestants from the dedicated mic-launcher.

That concludes the Känguru!
In my opinion, this is the first model I've made (as opposed to adapted) for BrikWars.
I look forward to expanding the scope of my Germanic forces

Lovely little mech you have there! I really like the tan and grey color scheme.

The idea of mechs blasting music as they ride into combat is an amazing one, and It should be used more

Style - 10 - Greatly shaped mech with lots of interesting surface greeble for its size.

Substance - 9 - Superb varied colour scheme. The many transparent colours give a great touch without being too dominant.

Photography - 9 - Top-notch quality regarding background, lighting and angles!

Theme - 7 - nice storytelling / introduction here, though not much related to current events.

Substance:9 , im not sure how it is built, but the detail and scale seem to complement each other, Im not sure how to exactly define it yet, but I like it!

Photography: 10, the lighting, camera positioning, and backgrounds are really nice, to the extent im starting to suspect that some of them might be using stud.io....

theme: 8, there is only one character in the set piece, and that is the mech, I like its """""""""Vibe""""""""" because it reminds of modern military stuff abit, which isn't my favorite, but doesn't seem that bad either

Final score: 28, very good all around, I just feel like it could use a bit more flair or whatever, im not sure how to define that, but otherwise a magnificent build, that if I wasn't a shitbuilder, would attempt to replicate

Thanks guys!
No Stud.io Eaggra - just a 2 cubic foot light box and a DSLR (you can inspect the photo details in the Flickr link

).
Totally get the generic thing - I haven't quite found the Germanic character yet. I'm almost settled on a mixture between modern Germany, the MCRN (Mars Congressional Republic Navy from 'The Expanse'), and something wholly my own.

style - 9 - the photo angles and big aperture are very stylish
substance - 7 - the mech is good but it's hard to tell what's happening with the vignette background
photography - 9 - see above
theme - 7 - the vignette is a little weak on storytelling, hard to tell what the tan guys are up against
