New Hasima City: Botmart Robot Supplies

I'm excited to be part of the next iteration of the New Hashima City cyberpunk collab, coming to Brickworld Chicago 2023. I started with train cars, then a cube, and things always escalate with me, so now I've built two of them. Like the first, this one belongs in the docks (aka sector 6, hence the giant 06 on the side), and the large strut on the front (similar but not quite identical to the strut on my first) will support one of the landing pads on Alec Doede's cube above. I envision this as a slightly seedy seller of robot parts of questionable origin. As an Easter Egg, though, the display in the window features the classic M:Tron and Blacktron droids, as these were probably the two most influential Lego space themes of my childhood. I spent a lot of time going crazy on the details on this one, since with time constraints being what they are I probably won't finish a third. In particular I put an inordinate amount of effort into upping my decomposing concrete game, especially on the right side (not shown in the main photo).

 

It's not really readable from this angle, but the poster on the column to the left of the entrance says "lost robot," and if you look really, really closely in he front entrance, that same robot's head is on a shelf for sale.
