Now I'm not a modeler, and TBH I suck at textures too because I'm a bit naff at everything, but I get along with next gen media sets like diffuse/local/spec. I picked a low poly model with Diffuse only because it would be quick and would be a test for my diffuse skills.

The main gripe i have with the texture is that is seems a bit like concrete and its very flat :( But other than that ill call it done:

Actually, that is quite good for a quick model. What program did you use?

IIRC, R2's dome is the same shade as it's body is it not?

And for its death animation have a half-burnt Kenny Baker fly out of it.

lvlshot that sucka

No comments to add because they've been said on polycount, what you've got there is really a good base for your normal maps and what not so just the diffuse *will* look flat as the guys over there said.

Yeah, no lighting? It's not finished without highlights, shadows, etc. Seems slightly grainy for plastic, too - maybe a bit less "dirt overlay" and a few careful bumps and scrapes in the right spots would help that.

Proportion, colour choice etc seems good though.
