Decided to start modeling again. Here's a robot I'm working on for an animation (obviously not done). Crit much appreciated.
The split along the middle that you see is where the chest cavity opens up to the person inside controlling it.

hi Madscientist, i like see your model finish, rigged and textured..

Crits..
For a better rigg and animation work,.. try model this object using the "T" method.. open her arms and legs.
i see you use a limb method to model. using separated objects? arms torso, head are different objects?

look this model i made.. 1 and 2 screenshot are in "T" pose.. thats is more easy to rigg and texture. this model using separate objects for arms, legs, head etc...

Sick model Neodelito. I usually do the T stile but the ref pic I drew up is just a standing pose. I'll fix it when I'm done animating (I use bone animation).
Texturing will be a pain though like Slayer said.

Some crit:

Good start... the problem is it seems like alot it seems to be clutter. Most times when people think sci fi futuristic armor they dont think of armor used in the middle ages or gladiator helmets, they think highly mobile and streamlined machines. This kind of gives the image of clunkiness and imobility. Each has there own opinions and some may not agree with me, but what i think would really hlp out would be some smoothed edges and precision seams in the armor. Im not expert when it comes to mechanical objects so take this with a grain of salt. Another thing that concerns he are the leggs, it looks as though hes been sitting on a horse his whole life. Be free with creativity but consider mechanical function as well. Machines in real life like that would have a hard time walking without tipping over sideways. Anyway you have a good start so just keep at it and youll get there.

haha, dont plan that far ahead man, if your planning on modeling something, that means your not focusing on your current model at hand. Its what leads to not doing textures and animation.

Thats my biggest problem as of now. (but luckily fpsbanana had a good gun texturing tut)

@MMOJ lol to think of it I cant even get myself motivated to continue
modeling... I'm wondering around in circles in my house thinking of
stuff... Whats funny is that in my thinking of nonsense I came across
an idea for a Shader to make a 'Banana' skin look real hahahaaha and I
believe it my work as planed, but Ill only try thinking of making it
when I ever get my hands on DarkGDK. I should be able to make rubber
and skin look nice and real too, with this idea. (in real time)

Edit: ow that banana sight looks cool, Ill be using it. thanks for mentioning!

Theres no image.

That sure looks like it will take a while to get textured.

I'm right now learning some texturing techniques. The more you want
something to look nice the longer it will take to get it just right.

Whoops! Fixing it now.
I've finally been able to generate a decent worn metal texture that's tileable.
I'm using photoshop.

That model came out cool!

I also see that some parts go through each other.
but other then that the model looks great.

It also might look cool with a diffuse map and spec.
Give it that rusty look.

Also if you want use 'center new'... move the model up then center
the cursor on the model then in 'edit mode' click center new.
Also do the same to your rig so that also can be centered with
the model. So that the model is even with the grid. (helps if you might want to export your model)

Later

Yeah, I just have to add a few more bones for the shoulder plates and leg socket plates so that they move with the arms and legs. My next project is going to be a scifi robot spider.
