The camo aspect is a difficult one to pull off to be sure. I suspect the
reason it doesn't work very
well is due more to the scale of the mech than to anything else. Other than
that, this is more of a
statue than a mech-no articulation (that I can see) below the waist, limited
articulation all over.
Sorry to be harsh about this one, but you did ask for honesty.

Ah, my beloved colorscheme-red + whatever. All in all it's a pretty good
model. Just enough
articulation to justify being called a mech rather than a statue. I like the
interspersal of click
hinges throughout the model to promote strength in it's joints as well as
the nice offset the greys
give to the red.

Easily my favorite of the three you posted. Nice mobility, a fairly rounded
colorscheme, and a
nicely shaped head. My sole problem with this model is the oh so common
hands. That particular
use of the minifig legs brings this model down simply because we've seen it
used so many times
before.

I'm looking forward to these pics. I love finding my favorite pic and useing
it as the highlight for
the sidebar.

Revamped: Centurion. It needs to be 2-3x it's current size in order for the
camo effect to have a
chance of working. I think you've got a pretty good shot at making it work.
Also, knees might be
a nice addition. ;)
