So, I finaly got a camera and decided to try it out by taking a test photo of one of my Cadians showing my colorscheme and then I decided to show off the image here! I'm not very good at painting, But I am quite happy with how this colorscheme turned out. Photo might not be the best though..

The best way to add images is to upload them into the DakkaDakka Gallery and put links into your post.

Nice quality picture and I love the scheme  looks like you just need to take a little more time to get some cleaner edges and add a few highlights. Other than that, like I've said, the color schemes great. Nothing too flashy but it works.

Not bad at all. a few tips would be slow down a bit when you paint, and work from the bottom up, like cloth, armor, lasgun, then hands. it helps prevent issues like green fingers and the like

Awesome! I love the scheme, mind if I implement it into my Wall Of Martyrs? See it as compliment.

I see small mistakes like the green fingers Brennonjw mentioned, the flesh-colored sleeve, the gray around the helmet's symbol instead of read, but those are easily fixed.
Now, I love your color scheme, I think Red and Gray is a very good combo but I'm somewhat "meh" about the green lasgun: it doesn't seem to go well with the regiment.
I'd suggest the casing in the same colour as the flak-armor or maybe gray with the details in metallics to "pop" up. Ofc, that's only my opinion.
Overall, good work so far

Good effort thats for sure.
Am I right in thinking that you haven't undercoated this little chap? It would explain the bare plastic spots. A good undercoat is key to any model and spraying is the way to go. I'd go black with this scheme.
Talking about the scheme, I like the uniform but the gun looks out of place. Kind of like he's pitched it from his buddy who is painted in the standard scheme!  I'd go with a black casing. Or maybe dark grey.
But great start, keep it coming!

Thanks for all the replies, Yeah, I dident undercoat. I dont realy have the capabilities to spray in my appartment as spraying in a small enclosed space isent good, And nowhere to spray outdoors, And I dont feel like running down 5 floors to spray.. XD I'm not a very good painter, But I do my best.
Matthew, Sure, You can add it to your wall of martyrs if you want ^_^

Well for the primer, I would suggest looking into the Vallejo surface primers if priming with a can is an issue, check out this apatheticfish video, (does pretty good stuff in my opinion) http://youtu.be/6C2K_-3Jcjk . Hope it helps.
