The blending on the shoulders looks great to me, I actually couldn't even tell from these pictures that it's stippling and not some fancier blending technique, but it also just fits well with the rest of the overall look you've got here. I also love the gun, looks absolutely fantastic.
Two things I would have done differently - the edge highlighting is a bit inconsistent in that it's a bit heavy handed in some places, like above the lenses, and absent in others, like the backpack. On the legs it looks just right, and I like how it's sort of a blend between edge highlights and scratched/worn edges, I do the same thing on my Space Marines. I also think some of your surface scratches are a bit thick, I think if you make them a bit thinner, they'll look more to scale.
Overall, though, this is right up my alley. Love it.
