PAINTING FIGURES' FACES - FIVE EASY STEPS - WW1 STORMTROOPER

Welcome to this first video in a series painting Young Miniatures 1/10th scale resin WW1 German Stormtrooper (YH1857). Inspired by the somewhat recent All Quiet On The Western Front film, I set about finishing this “How To” guide for you.

It is in a 5-step format, designed for beginners and covers the following processes.

Chapter Markers
00:28 - Intro and tools
00:29 - Step #1 Clean up using mini tools and saws
01:55 - Step #2 Prime and fill
02:42 - Step #3 Frame and fill out the eyes with colour
08:02 - Step #4 Face tones - base, shadow, mid and highlights
15:29 - Step #5 Hair and hair shadow (plus final highlights)
19:29 - Teaser shots and outro


Each step is shown and reveals how I prep then start with the eyes, and go on to paint the face in simple steps using Andrea Color’s excellent range of acrylic paints, including their Face Painting set ACS-01. These paints were generously supplied by Andrea Miniatures for testing - http://www.andrea-world.com. You can also get them in the UK via Historex Agents, who have also supported the channel and are a great source of modelling goodies. I got this bust from them http://www.historexagents.com.

This tutorial from http://www.scalewarmachines.com is aimed at AFV model makers looking to paint realistic faces for their figures. It is not a masterclass, rather a simple technique for effective results. It should be accessible and simple to follow. If you want to watch a long-winded masterclass from a maestro, check out one of the expert figure painter channels on You Tube instead.

But if this is your thing, make yourself a brew, sit back and enjoy.
