Nice I like - I like the blue colour, very interesting hehe with the red cape very cool

thanks Euleze, the blue color was achieved by aplying purple ink over an enchanted blue basecoat. chaos black was applied to the dark matter cells of the weapons with purple ink on that too. this reminds me, i need more boltgun metal...

that blue looks cool
maybe a few more highlights or ink wash on the weapons to really bring them out

Agree with Ken. The metallic on the guns looks good, and a black wash will bring out the detail.

Are you going to do any other contrast work with the body armor?

A couple suggestions for taking the pictures:
-Try to put them on something with a solid background and possibly a contrasting color to the model.
-If you are using some sort of automatic focus/flash, the best thing I've noticed to do is back up a bit from it (about 3ft/1m) and use your zoom to get in the tight shot. It will help the flash not overwhelm the mini since you won't be right on top of it.
-If you have an auto-focus, try to clear everything else out of the shot (like your hand) so the focus will only catch the mini and not anything "background."
