I have recently finished painting a Hasslefree 28mm Miniature called Sebastian. I like his old stance which is stooped and makes for an interesting character. I am currently using him as a Paladin figure in a D&D game and he matches my 55 year old character well. The figure itself was very clean and needed only very minor work to clip and sand off any extra bits of flash.
I started with a base of black undercoat and then used new Games Workshop foundation paints for the initial colour layers. The sqaure base is a metal one from Freebooter and the Shield is from a Confrontation set which I added to match my D&D character who uses a shield. I mounted Sebastian in the metal base with Green Stuff and used sand to texture the base before painting.
The armor is painted to look old in grey and I rushed it a bit so the result is not exactly a “fine blend”. It looks good enough to game with and I finished the model with an enamel gloss varnish followed by a matte dull coat of varnish.

You can find the Sebastian Knight figure to purchase on the Hasslefree web site.
I spotted a very interesting article on the classic British comic 2000AD over at the BBC website. The comic, first published in 1977 at a cost of just 8pence, is the subject of an article highlighting some interesting parallels between the comic and modern society.
Who needs Nostradamus when you can pick up a copy of 2000AD and read the full story. It feels like the obese life of the Fatties has become a reality!
Have a browse over to the BBC site to have a read of all the wildly interesting similarities between modern life and 2000AD. All in very good taste!
