In short, yes the actual shading has green. Read further for the long answer.
There's colors mixed into the shading all over the place, so you may be seeing some various shades of green or brown in there depending on where you look. The second set of photos seems to be pretty accurate color wise except it's taken with a flash which kind of messes with the contrast.
A lot of areas were repainted (mainly the tan vest in the front) after Neolis and Mahon comments which is hopefully apparent on the most recent photos. Keep in mind the intent is more to have some interesting tinting to look at rather than complete realism, however it will still hopefully look believable.
Well to me it dosent fell right, it looks like verdigris, if you want to add green then, for me you must leave the leather and go for suede.
I would and browns, blacks, reds or greys to make leather.
But i like the overal paint job, only thinking that looks odd the green.

Been working on it the past few days. So far I've eliminated a lot of the odd coloring and tried to push the contrast a bit. Still struggling with pushing the highlights (I always struggle with this!) and will get some pictures up today or tomorrow.

Update...
Pretty much only been painting with "juices" once I got the main colors laid down. May try some free hand on the knee pads and shoulder armor.

Thanks Panda, I think it looks better due to your suggestions. Side note, this Valejo "bronze" is complete crap. It looks like gold, isn't smooth and doesn't mix well.
Couldn't sleep, so I did some more. This plasma pistol brought to you by
Bolt Thrower, insomnia and the letter Q.

A canine Companion is always good, and thats one cool hound, the only remark is i think you should detail a litle more the inquisition symbol

Agreed. Planned on doing more with the free hand except it was giving me too many problems. What's currently there is the second or third attempt after the original symbol was botched and painted over.
Only reason I'm stopping here isn't due to laziness, rather I can't seem to make anymore improvements at my current skill level. Overall I learned a lot and hope to do even better on future projects.

Nice one! Definitely like the effect of glowing you achieved on his plasma pistol. It really works!
The dog somehow seems to be sculpted in a different style than Lorr, and while it may make no difference for fellow gamers, to me it stands out a bit too much.
The paintjob on Lorr is very nice though! I really like the smoothness, neatness, composition of colors and think that you need to paint some fake text on the purity seals now, because without it they will look blank, lack a reason to be there, and stand out too much as pale elements on a dark background.
A lot of difference in quality when you compare it to your earlier models! Good job!
