That is one HD can sir. Looks like you got a specular map on the metal too, if I am correct. Good job.

Why dont you grab a texture off cgtextures? Modify it for your needs.

Thats what I did, just don't know whether it's good or not.

I was messing around with an old model in source and I noticed it suffers the same problem as your model which is the diffuse isn't detailed enough to make up for the simplistic phong highlights. What I mean to say is the your metal doesn't read as metal without the phong highlighting and so for a lot of the time (lack of highlights) the model will look flat.

My old model for example

I see what you mean.
Ill probably keep it that way, it looks pretty nice either way.

Try adding cubemap reflections (very subdued), or rimlighting. Could help with the metal look

The upper parts are fine, it's the base that is lacking. I would avoid black and go for a more greyish tone like the little bit connecting the base to the red and white section. I'd also avoid a normal map if you're using one, doesn't look like it needs it. I suppose you have to ask yourself, what material is it? Right now it reads like black rock.
