It fails to capture the tau aesthetics and just looks like an out of scale toy, honestly. Just lose some time looking at tau stuff and trying to analyse what makes a tau battlesuit, a tau battlesuit. What design elements are present in all tau suits and how you can reproduce them. Then use the hulkbuster armour as a base, since it's proportions are cool, and add the extra shapes on top of it. Don't shy away from digging out parts of your model and rebuild them with a more tau look. Please see this as constructive criticism and not as bashing.
Exactly. It's a toy with some
40k guns glued on, not a real conversion. It's fine to use toys/non-
40k model kits/etc as parts in a conversion, but you need to
convert those parts. Break up the shapes, replace obvious non-Tau elements like the giant cartoonish fists with more appropriate parts, integrate the weapons into the design instead of just gluing them on in a random spot, etc. And, as a general rule, your motivation for a conversion should be "this will look really awesome" and not "this is so much cheaper".
