IMAGE DESCRIPTION:

Two young brothers spent the day making sure that their Lego warriors and 
equipment were ready for tomorrow's campaign against the dreaded "BAD GUYS". 
As they head off to bed, the older brother runs back to the living room and lays 
down on the floor to take one last look at their creation before he has
to go to bed.

DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED:

The Lego vehicles came from Primus Bus's great Lego Mechcommander website, 
http://www.muenster.de/~bus1503/

All of the textures were created in POVRAY.

I added a slight yellow tint to the three area lights in the scene to add 
some warmth to the wood floor texture.

MLCAD was used to create, modify and place the Lego vehicles, figures and building.

LEOCAD was used to create the figures.

L3P was used to create POVRAY file format from the MLCAD dat file format. 

The lamp post, floor and wall paneling were created in POVRAY.

Rhino was used to create to create the lamp base and molding (I should have 
created the molding in POVRAY). 

All comments and suggestions for improvements are greatly appreciated.
