That's a nice color indeed!

She could use a lighter skin tone though.

I'm going to strip the kit down one last time ... the skin tone looked okay with black, but it looks wrong with blue.

Damn, you have patience, I'd say screw it and paint over it.

So what did you finally end up doing?

I just take all kinds of pearlized blacks, blues and chrome from Createx and Tamiya, mix em all together and then add badger blue to it. Comes out the same thing you did and then just add some black shadows.
