Great job on bodies, but the weapons could use some improvement. What are their uses?
If the robots are supposed to be large mechs they are definitely too small, and I agree with Sonoflarry, the weapons need more detail; but it's a good start. 
Here's a set from my upcoming film, most likely titled Enlightenment.

Here's one camera view of the set; the foreground is an older building and the background is newer, that's all I'm saying. (it has meaning in the film)
POV of set from Elightenment by bylegos, on Flickr
...It's supposed to resembled the streets of Chicago, hence the track over the road.
The EL has some sharp corners, but not quite like that.
The buildings look good, backyard.
If you want to make the older building look a little run-down, put a few grey ridged bricks into the wall.
Also, I think you should put some light grey plates over the sidewalk part of the road to make it look more like a sidewalk.
The older building isn't necessarily run down, in fact it's probably kept up quite well (the film is in a Brave New World inspired distopia); and I like the idea of the grey plates for sidewalk, I'll probably use that in the future, but if I did it now it would be in-congruent with some shots that have already been filmed. 
I'm afraid those windows are a bit un-naturally close to the ground. Other than that, it's beautiful. Maybe one or two extra layers of bricks on the bottom?
You've never seen windows that go down to the ground? It's pretty common in more modern high rises. And before anyone says anything about the one building being older, the film takes place in the future.
I realize that many highrise buildings have windows that go all the way to the ground, but they usually don't have that style of window so close to the ground.
Here's Tony Stark's workshop.
It's not supposed to be movie accurate or anything. I'm reasonably pleased with it, even if it is a little dusty right now.

Looks good.
Here's a shot of part of my new city I had to build. Shot with the C910 Webcam
The cardboard man was printed onto a piece of white paper and glued to the cardboard.

haha nice. Well lit, and the background is nice as well.
bumpy. well, seeing as no one else is going to comment on Zach's post (sorry Zach 
), I think it is time I could put up a pic. What do you guys think of this microscale battleship? It's supposed to go in the background of a shot to look like a real massive battleship at a harbor.
Looks nice, what is the title of the film?
hehe.... it was supposed to be for the TOY contest a while back, but i got held up by life in general. "Pearl Harbor: the True Story" is what I am leaning towards rights now 
, though it is subject to change.
Whoa, that's pretty cool! The only complaint I have is that gap between the nose and the rest of the ship. It looks pretty ugly next to everything else.
Eh, I don't know. What if you put some gray clay between the gap?
yeah, the gap. I don't really like it either, but I was thinking that maybe it wouldn't matter since it would be out of focus, as a background prop. But I could try and fill it in anyway.
Here is a spacecraft I designed, it's made for two minifigs.
