I really like the blue! Adds some pop to the armor and makes everything more distniguishable.

I have to concur with the previous statments, Dha.  The Blue makes for a much more interesting costume to look at. 

Well-done.

Now your kit's looking good! The all-black just wasn't working in my opinion. Nice work!

Heh, I think the opinion of the black-on-black being kind of 'bleh' was universal :P. The blue and black looks fantastic, certainly a big improvement.

Ben: Sorry, Uncle Han said it was always a good idea to have one--
Luke: Your uncle isn't a jedi. I wish you'd remember that.

Hey Dha... you might think of taking some 00 or 000 steel wool or a scotchbrite pad to the armor as a whole to give it a dulled out, aged look.  The satin look of it now is nice, but if you lightly take one of those methods to it, It will really look like it has had some time in service.

PM if you need any tips.
