Quick comments on this. The whips it comes with break off WAY TOO EASILY! I ordered (2) of these models and it happend on BOTH of them. The shoulder pads where replaced after a mild paint remover solution ( Brake fluid, which i have used on 100's of previous models) ended up disitigrating this model.
So I replaced the shoulder pads with the mechanic ones to match the rest of his armor and I replaced the whips with other materials. Hope you enjoy

Looks very basic.
There's so much black on the model it's as if you just primed it and put a little colour on it. Not worth voting on imho :(

You need to highlight the black/grey/dark green(can't see the color very well in your photos) and the green IMO.

I like the whips, they remind me of the ball-chain necklaces like dog tags are on.

This is exactly why i avoid black in most cases, it just looks unfinished i would suggest a dark grey a really dark grey so you can shadow with black and highlight with a medium grey while still maintaining that black look. The problem with simply painting it black regardless of how smooth you doit is its just that black, black without depth and definition.
I do like the green you chose though, and the toilet chain isn't to bad either.

Very cool dude, love it! I actually don't think he looks too plain or anything, though I guess you could add some highlights to make him come alive more. But he's really cool as is.

I think your paint job looks pretty good!
Also, that figure is amazing! You said you ordered it -- where did you get it?

Though he is a resin piece not metal. It was probably the most fragile game piece I ever had to work with as the weapons snapped off the sprue badly.
