I like the Orange too. If you are worried about it being too much, I find that dark flesh (dark red-brown) looks good with rust colors. Perhaps you could glaze this into the shadows. But more importantly, have you tried Ryza Rust, the technical paint from Citadel? It's a good way to maintain that orange color but add texture to it. My standard rust recipe uses this dry brushed over top Dark Flesh.

Simply incredible. I cannot believe the level of detail you can achieve on something so small!

I like the orange too. Like everyone is saying this is turning into a gorgeous project. I just spent 10 minutes staring at it. I think the orange fits right in with the other oranges and yellows you have on his armor and belly. Each link of the chain mail is picked out very nicely I think you could have some darker colors in there or maybe lighter highlights and give it that wet shiny look like you have on the tentacles. Are the tentacles done? Some have shiny patches and some don't. I can't tell if it just the angle of the picture or if you are going for different levels of slime on the tentacles.

Thanks for all the comments guys!
The rust was a lot brighter when I first painted it but in the pics above it has been glazed to tone it down. Now I've lived with it for a while I'm comfortable with the colour.
The tentacles are done and I'm happy with the amount of gloss as it stands at the moment but that could change as things progress. I'm finding that as the paint job develops I often have to go back and tweak already painted areas. I'm using a lot of different colours on this mini and balancing every thing out takes a lot of subtle tweaking!

Things have been a bit busy recently resulting in a distinct lack of posts - I hang my head in shame!
However, I’ve managed to keep painting away in the background so Gutrot is progressing at a gentle pace. The photo above was taken last weekend and I’ve made progress (painting rotten heads and leather straps among other things) since then but I didn’t want to leave it any longer before posting. All going well I’ll be able to attach the trident to the mini over the coming weekend.

Wow so much I admire on this mini...er ....I don't have a single favourite bit just sections I'm going to rip off more than others!! That hook!!!! My God; as some one who loves NMM and is conceited enough to think I know how to do it I am spell bound it IS metal the blending the subtle colour the SENMM and NMM all together the way there's no real glinty white but it just screams look at me. Then the scar tissue wrinkles in the crook of the knee so so so good! I cant wait to see this in the flesh.
