its not bad, i see some good edge highlighting!

but i see a lot of details still unpainted... like the imperial eagle on his leg and just some other bits and pieces...
some shading (wash) would be nice

i still don't see the pictures...

Same here...could be because im at work though...

sadly I cannot see the picture either.

Here is a working picture.

You forgot the [/img] at the end

But damn, man -is that really your first Ultra? Surely outdoes mine. edit: nvm, its not your first figure, is it?

Blue is fine from what I can tell. I can't quite make out the red color, looks kinda cartoony or too bright? :s you did wash it, right?

What about gold, which paint is that? If you were aiming for rusty gold, looks good. But what about cloth on his waist? You can't tell one from another.

Granade looks awesome, but what about the insignia on his left leg? You could paint that up

And metal part/joint on his left arm, why is it gold?
It needs more angles to see more of him, you'll be adding banner on him, right?

Overall, quite nice -are those terminator hands? I wasn't sure could you add them or not.

I'd only make sand or rocks stand out from one another.
That's all from me if you want critics gives you something to work with, hehe

Yeah man looks nice ! If you wanted to take it any further painting wise all I'd say you really need to do is hilight the gold areas / the cloth cause they look a bit yellow and try dulling down that red with a wash and hilighting it again with blood red.

edit: Oh and the base could use a little tidy up and a dry brush or something like that. If you are wanting to take it abit further that is. Looks great regardless.
