I was going for a smooth look -- most my stuff I try to go for clean lines --
but I can see how that is not as visually interesting as greebling.

That’s a greater challenge, and I can only encurage that, and there’s plenty of
greeb in this forum alrady. (but you do have some greeble, though nicely
subdued)
Still, I think you should consider varying the surfaces a bit; if not with
greeble or level, then perhaps by changinge some of the tiles into other colours
that underlines the shape, like blue 1x8 tiles, or breaks it, like a 2-wide blue
band around the sides by the 4x4 dishes.
Regarding the rear, I think it’s a little too flat as it is now, and would
suggest that you drag in the blue part, flaps, and engines a little, since this
would do a lot better justice to the 3 “horns” pointing backwards: They’re a
little overlooked as it is now which’s too bad. (by the way: I see now that
you’ve already filled the holes behind the cockpit as i suggested, but do change
them to the light grey ones you got with the AT-TE the red ones’s too dark to
see)
Regarding the front arms/horns, I don’t like the inward curve the 2x4 slopes
create, (inherited from the first version) and I would prefer if you used the
same technique as in the back: You could cover up the resulting triangular holes
with some tiles on the inside of the horns or extending the guns back in (now
he’s beginning with the greeb again;-). Alternatively, you could use 1x6 curved
slopes like in the back, or stuff in extra guns there. By the way: what about
some rocketlaunchers or bombdoors? at the side or top of the MOC?

It’s up to all of us to give encouragement and advice; if we forget that, nobody
gets anything.
