I'd grunge it up a bit with some scratches or something as an example of texturing or would just ditch it.
If not, then I would just have it rotating. There is no need for it to be closing really as you can see it all in the turntable. Also the occlusion render is over exposed so you can't see much.
I'd ditch the background for the horde hunter. It doesn't tie in with the lighting so there isn't any point in having it. If you keep it then make the lighting work better.
Last thing... yeah black background arial font. I wouldn't even use your logo or anything. Feels less professional to me.
my 2p's worth.
Cheers

The background is the lighting for the hunter - its a hdri image, so I'm not sure why your thinking that.I'd ditch the background for the horde hunter. It doesn't tie in with the lighting so there isn't any point in having it. If you keep it then make the lighting work better.

I'd draw some circles round stuff but can't be bothered right now (bed time - I live in Montreal these days). You can see a big long white highlight. that's all I would have circled.
I'd check that the HDRI is float... or did you just compress it before you used it as a backplate? It looks pretty blocky to me.

top left corner you can see the compression, and middle spine of the model you see the highlight.
Not sure how much time you have, so maybe just ignore me.

Good point. Decisions decisions!ah yeah, well its not my call obviously, but I wouldn't have this focus on modelling. I think it should be more of a generalist reel. The reason I say that is because the models that I see on modelling reels are all zbrushed up even the hard surface stuff. I just feel that's what employers are looking for if they need a modeller.
good luck whatever you decide.
