Put on all of the other basecoats. then have another look at it and see how your opinion may change.

Yeah , what he said. Its hard to tell how it really looks until you get some other colours on there.

I agree with Tommie's suggestion but you're definitely going to have to do more to sell the effect - it's hard to tell what parts have been done so far and which ones haven't. On the leg armour for example it looks a little like what'd you'd get by spraying white over black primer, not a deliberate NMM effect where you're trying to simulate a reflective surface.

In general I think you want to keep the white highlights to a minimum, so that where white is used it really shows up as bright reflections/specular highlights; also, aiming for more contrast overall would probably be a good idea.

Im just now starting into nmm and this is kinda where im at, except yours looks better than mine. Looks likes it coming along great!

I feel like you probably want more contrast and be sure to highlight around all the edges.

Yeah more contrast also try not to take your wips on a background of similar colours.
go all the way to tiny pin points of white and black

Yep strategically placed lights and darks will enhance it massively!
