That more than looks the part to me Alan. Nice job.
Be very careful with an over all wash though, it can really darken the finish and potential ruin what you’ve done. I’ve tried it several times and never really been happy with the results.
What I would recommend is to outline each area with a dark pin wash using a fine brush. This will make them stand out from each other. Pre made washes, like the Vallejo game and model washes I bang on about all the time are great for this. They are consistent straight from the bottle and save a lot of mixing time. You can make your own wash with paint, water, and flow aid, but the issue is getting them consistent so you control what you do. Too thin and the effect is too subtle so the areas don’t really pop off each other. Too thick and the figure starts to look like a China doll. 76.517 model wash dark grey is excellent for this, as is 73.201 game wash black.
