Nice work. The green and tan/brown always look good together in my opinion.

For sci-fi minis, I often paint the guns black and drybrush with a steel color. I think it gives them some character.

I did this with some Exodus Wars 6mm minis. I started with a similar airbrushed technique, though I chose green and dark gray as the camouflage colors.

Also, here's the same technique used with a Mark V Ogre:

The Ogre is at the bottom of the page. Note - I copied the camouflage scheme from someone else.
