Looking very nice, Cujo.  The indentations for the steps kind of throws it off for me though.  I visualize smaller versions of the handrails being a better fit.  Other than that, the details are really flushing it out.

Nice job Cujo.  This model looks awesome.  I hate to have that thing attached to my mech because that claw looks lethal.  The handrails could be smaller though.

Logistically, I'm not sure exactly how or where one climbs into a BA like that.  I'd say get that figured out before finalizing your back section.

yea I was looking at it and where the hatch is located and I was thinking that it would be best if the guy didn't need some ladder to get into his battle armor that wasn't already attached to it.  With the size I was sorta eyeballing how thick it would be considering the size of a guy and that it's battle armor, large battle armor, but still not a mech.  So I'll take a look at making them a little thinner and see if I can get a better render of the foot holds.  I have to admit though, sometimes when you do plating like that it gets cluttered, but I'm fairly happy with the pattern it created, I'll render the top of it sometime to and see how it looks from there.

yea there's a hatch right on top in the middle of the thing, which is why I figured I'd toss the access on the back because I can't see any other way of the pilot getting up, and in this BA's case it's a pilot, it's like the only biped BA that isn't a suit of armor, it's more like a miniature 'mech.  Once I get around to it I'll add more detail on the hinges of the hatch so it looks more like a hatch, atm the only parts of it that are detailed are the handle and the locking mechanism next to it (a simple latch).  At any rate I don't think the DC guys are very large that would pilot a mini-'mech, or that they're very large in general.

Not to mention, If you've seen a hatch on a tank, it looks a damn sight smaller than it should.  Tankers often have to squeeze into their vehicles.

I did the middle part of the leg.  ATM it's only missing details that relate to the way it connects to the foot and hip.  Otherwise I'm happy with it.  I'm gunna end up tweaking parts of the legs to give the huge chassis some better support, but we'll see how when I get there.  I've still got alot of other tweaks and details to add yet, like I've said I'm kinda an ADD modeler, I add details and do other parts at random times.
anyway, without further adieu.  A minor update Tongue
