Details:
This is particularly unique Dalek (an armored alien from a military race in the popular BBC series Doctor Who) - the details are so good that you can barely tell that you're looking at a LEGO model. Of course, this also makes it difficult to get a good sense of scale here. It looks to me like this is significantly larger than Miniland scale - once you get a feel for the base of the model, this thing starts to look pretty dang big. Of course, what really matters is the techniques - the angle work, the details, and the BrickLink ordering of special parts in bulk. No need to try to reverse-engineer this, though, because there's an extra gallery of photos illustrating how various parts were done.
