Maybe it's the photo, I don't know. While this is a very solid paint job, the colors look very "muted" (using sound to describe visuals, heh). I think this model would benefit from bolder (but not brighter, the model is plenty light enough already) colors! The exposed skin is great (he looks like he'd be cold), I wouldn't mess with it, I would go with a bit more "bravado" so to speak with the color palette with some brighter reds for the arm armor and the mallet looks wood (maybe it's supposed to be wooden) but I'd have gone with a definate, more steely metallic for it. Good job though, Rancid!
