Well my honest advice, is if you are new to modelling, don't attempt chrachters yet. Familarize yourself and learn every single tool that your modeling prog can do first. Start working on more organic shapes/objects. Then move to chrachters.
I think that the model you got there will make a good robot tho', if you manage to rig him.
