Spare any tips for a beginner?

I got to get to painting this bad boi.

But I'm a first timer and I know a few of you are experienced in painting miniatures.

Also, if you can name me this ship, you deserve best comment

I saw a great tip on painting miniatures- paint with a black wash first, and wipe it off while its still wet.

What happens is the black stays in all the crevices, and adds more dimension.
Also, apparently black is a good primer colour for metalics.

@OogieBoogie Thats a really good tip. Actually, I've seen that done before but the figure was pre-painted.

So then, does is absolutely have to be applied first?
