The statue looks a lot better! I would go ahead and color the front caps on the boots... maybe not silver, but a gunmetal grey color. And I think adding the weathering effects will make it look good too... but that's just me. It looks good the way it is too!
That is 1 thing I've noticed about most armor, it seems very clean. But since it's a statue, maybe just a few dings and scratches or something. Very nice work though!
