Moving in the right direction
Joking as side I'd love to see you apply the same painting techniques you use on figures ,on your builds (or just one shade and one highlight) as I think you selling your hard work short and falling into the trap lots of modellers do.In so far as your over familiar with your work so you know the detailing inside and out so it's still clear to your eye even in a flat colour.
It's personal choice of course either way still a lovely build.
