Adeptus Mechanicus Forge Knight WIP (Epic 6mm scale)

This is the first model for an Epic Armageddon Adeptus Mechanicus army I’m working on and only the 3rd model I’ve painted in 4 years or so. I had to rush finishing it (staying up all night painting) to get it finished enough to take it’s photo and enter it in an epic painting competition and the base and the black/yellow wiring were rushed and will need re-doing properly again in time. Possibly the blow-torch flame too. I would love to get some feedback on the model, colours, base, etc before I soon finish it and start on more of the army. Please comment and let me know what you think! Modelwise it consists of a very old epic Knight model, Ad-Mech symbol from a BFG Ad-Mech ship and parts from 4 different Forge World kits. Converting is still entirely possible in 6mm and the game is leaps and bounds better than its larger cousin. Forge Knights are non-combat variants of Knight-suits used by the Adeptus Mechanicus as giant mobile construction / repair machines. They are a new unit in the Epic Armageddon Ad-Mech fan-list. Finally please bear in mind scale when voting! The highest point of the model, the tip of the blowtorch arm, is just 4cm off the ground.

Very nice stuff there. Good conversion indeed. The painting looks pretty good but there's a few things I think could be tweaked. I'd add a little more shadow around the miniature on the base, give the metallics a wash of brown or black to give them more depth and a more used look and finally give the red a little sharper highlight around the edges. Liking this a lot!
