It begins, part the end

On went some Chainmail paint.  I tried to mix it with thinners, but it did very odd things.  Beautiful, swirling, glittering things.  Luckily it went onto the model well, though.  I drybrushed the helmet, neck coif and sword, and painted the arm plates.  I also mixed some brown and black into a wash-type thing and went over the boots and scabbard, which made them look much better.

The arms look pretty glaring, but I'll fix that now.  The goblin paint box came with Devlan Mud wash, probably far better than my "drip some stuff in a palette and put thinners in it" wash.  That went over most of the mode, which made the arms look better, fixed the undershirt and pants and defined the face and sword.

Before that I'd put on some yellow for details, and tried to freehand the star on the helmet on the shield as well.  That didn't go so well.

Knight of the blobby star!

I cleaned it up with red again.  At this point I feel it is pretty much done.  All in all, better than I expected, and a nice learning experience with washes and thinning paints.  I'll paint the base and seal it once I get some matt sealant spray.  I could add detail from here, highlighting the armour and painting the sword hilt gold, but for a model like this I think there is an upper limit of useful detail, for middling painters, at least.  It looks decent, which is enough for this one.
