headwax:
Fine job Indian8or

I especially like the close up of the crab arm.

What I'd like is some dirtying up, oil stains, signs of wear and tear, little hazard signs, made in japan stickers, etc. Good textures will give it a history, will say that the object is used, and help us suspend our disbelief so we can belive more in the crab's actual existence.

3D Joe Wiltshire:
I can't wait to see how this looks when it's all done, some glowing lights on the body could help with making it look more alive, and to cover up those cables you could add some kind of fibreglass casing.

looking good, I like the scene you've created for it.

Indian8or:
Lately busy with my job.

birdofash:  Actually, this machine is conceptualized to be a frontier edge technology prototype with titanium alloy, composite carbon fiber to make it extra strong.  Moreever, there are miniature tandem drive motors with secondry hydraulics.  Once I post my final render, I hope you will like it.

Headwax:  You have almost read my mind!!.  Actually, there will be 2 final  renders.  The first one will be a "SWAT ASSIST" kind of machine.  I intend to keep it glossy and sophisticated as it will be restricted to urban conflicts.  The second will be a military version (almost ready), which will be a bit rustic machine with scratched steel, stains and what not.

3D Joe Wilstshire:  You are right.  Actually, I have indeed put some lights on the body.  Actually, the concept is it will have 2 glowing neon kind of lights on its antennae.  These lights will turn from Blue to Red as the machine moves from friendly environment to hostile territory.

BTW here is a shot of its main arsenal.

Dreadkb:
Small crits on the arsenal. I was a soldier for 8 years and I still work on a military post so I'm a bit picky about this kind of thing.

Your 7.62 cartridge (the single round) is a bit misshapen. Take a look at these:

The ammo can is actually squared of, not tapered. You also have it opening on the hinge side. This is possible if you take the lid off, but can be a bit confusing visually.

I can't clearly see the linkage between the cartridges, but I found you some ref pics just to help out.
