Looks good! You should add a fender type thing over the legs, and then just add insane amounts of details like bumps and component looking things maybe hoses conecting joints and such! Anding panels of armor and components and bumps will give it a much more realistic look and really brings the model to life!

Highend3D, Maya's website has some... I personally have found that in my mechs to make as much of the texture in modeling itself then color it. In your case I'd say to make a bumpmapped one as well as modeled bumps! Check out my current WIP to see what I mean.
