looks absolutely amazing. is there a template or blueprint you're working from? i don't think i'd be able to go into this much detail just from inside my head...

perhaps a closeup of the places you mentioned (wing, hand, foot, head) so we can get a better idea of your progress?

and also any way we can see a wireframe?

Accept no substitutions.

sure i can do that for you ... um but no there is no templete im working from all i did was just draw out a basic couple shapes in a side view that I was looking for ... like general angles... then just went from there

but yea i will get that wire frame for you...

Maybe you can do a clay render to show your details better.
Very cool mech though.

Rendering clay-like will help show your details better.

I guess I'll summarize then.
Create a plane for yer mech 2 stand on and suround him with a resized sphere like you would HDRI or somethin like that. Make everything lambert and a light color like grey or white.

Go to render settings, then Image Based Lighting and click create. Attach yer HDR image to the light node and voila.
