I am trying to find a good way to give a model the appearance of skinless flesh (ie. with the muscle tissue exposed). Does anyone have a good method of doing this, or know of a tutorial? Thanks.

Highlight stripes with a pink flesh tone.
Dot highlight with a bone colour.
Glaze with red wash of some sort.

Babies, chum: tiny, dimpled, fleshy mirrors of our us-ness, that we parents hurl into the future, like leathery footballs of hope. And you've got to get a good spiral on that baby, or evil will make an interception.

I don't like using the gloss varnish on anything other than blood. I find the glossiness will hide the different bands of muscle under the shine. YMMV.
Since everyone is showing their take: Here's my hamfisted attempt:
