Keep at it, figure painting is a journey. I'm still learning after many years.
I would paint the edging color on the epaulettes firts then fill in the base color.
One thing that would improve the presentation is this. Look at teh left lapel of the standing guy. See how it blends back to the chest. Get a dental pick and put a groove between the lapel and the chest. It will make painting easier and give a more realistic look to the figure.
As the other guys mentioned, be careful about mold lines, especially when they're on the big screen!
