After multiple attempts, I was finally able to complete this Chaos Terminator. Pardon the picture, I am still trying to figure out the best way to get a decent photo with my phone. I know there is room for improvement, but I am just a happy to have actually completed the issue with getting the paint thin enough to make this work. Let me know what you think, and thank you.

There's a number of free image stabilization apps you can get that would likely clear up the blur quite a bit. I've got an iphone and use Darkroom, I'm sure there's another one you can use if you have android or a windows phone. If you've got a plain white background you can use for it -- just a regular sheet of printer paper would probably do it -- that'll help with the white balance without needing to throw the image in an editor. I believe at one point I did see a tutorial on this site for taking good pictures with a camera phone, but I couldn't tell you where.

For the model itself, it looks neatly painted, but from what I can see in the pictures it could use a little more detail work, the back could especially use it to break up all the red a little. A wash with black or dark brown could also add a little depth to it, even without any additional highlighting. Unfortunately with the pictures as they are I can't really give much more advice.

Thanks for the info regarding the pictures, I will look into it. The wash I applied did not seem to take as well on the back as it did on the front. Part of the learning process I believe.

The paint looks quite blotchy on the models from what I can see. You should thin your paints a little or apply less on a certain area.
Plus I see you forgot the insides of the shoulder pad rims.

Drakenhoff Nightshade as a wash might work better on red. Work it up with thin layers of whatever red again and then apply the red Glaze. This should work quite well.
