damn, lotta assholes in the comments today. I'm barely better than you, but a tip for the metallic is to base coat them black and the dry brush progressively lighter metalics onto them. currently your metallics look a little flat. for gold, do the same but start with bronze and the highlight with gold. paint coverage is good, but i would try a little harder on the head, especially because the eye is naturally going to be drawn to it. remember to come back with the blue after you make the detail pass to cover up any mistakes, like that streak of red next to the eyes. get your smallest brush and place it on the surface of the model, and try to push it towards the upraised details. Finally, try and apply the wash everywhere.

because i happen to be good in a different way than him. see the consistent coverage over a flat surface on the reds and blues? I just cant get my paint to look like that. I have to use an airbrush if i want solid colors over anything larger than a chest emblem. I've worked hard to get good at metallics, because i paint them the most, and at details, because they're my favorite part to paint.

Advice from your peers is never a bad thing. You do not need to be in a master-apprentice situation to exchange information.

Weird take honestly.

You very clearly insinuated that they shouldn't be giving tips if they're barely better?

I never said one needs to be in a master-apprentice situation to give advice, I just think it’s a bit disingenuous to say you’re the same level then provide various examples of how you’re clearly not. OP hasn’t nailed any of the fundamentals nor basics yet
