Looks pretty good to me. What exactly did you want it to look like?

wow. Looks very good. The armor detail must be hard to paint. Although the NMM looks fantastic, I think it needs just a little extra to make ithave that \"shine\" look.

Other that the paint scheme being \'different\' to the one in the movie (There\'s a poster up in my office), I can\'t see anything too wrong. If you are wanting to make the Armour NMM then you need to make the highlights brighter. But otherwise it looks well painted to me.

For NMM you need to paint the \"lower\" metal parts would be reflecting dark earth darker and the \"higher\" bits would reflect sky/lightsource lighter.
Seeing as how that figure has a lot of fiddly bits and numerous planes you\'ll need a fair bit of patience to do that.
You also want a level on the model highlighted right up to white for that zing where the light particularly catches it.
Since this part ought to move as the viewer moves relative to the figure this is particularly tricky to get right for other than a photo.
Good luck.

PS
If you find a ropey old bag of skill lying about, I think it\'s mine. I left it somewhere...
