It’s time to update one of more popular videos on face painting for scale models and figures or busts. This is a reworked and updated video on painting 1/35th scale figures which has been made for Derrel Eves 30-day Creator Challenge.
Our previous 2013 video on painting 1/35th scale figures with Vallejo Acrylics is here:

This is a simple non-elitist step-by-step “Top 10 Tips” video guide to painting figures' faces using Vallejo's excellent Model Color range. It’s aimed at everyday figure painting and our background is predominantly armour modelling. Experimenting with painting busts has definitely changed the way we paint 1/35th scale figures. Here's how...
This beginner tutorial from scalewarmachines.com is aimed at novice modellers & AFV model makers looking to paint realistic faces for their figures. It is not a masterclass, rather a simple 10 tip technique for effective results. It should be accessible and simple to follow for beginners and intermediates alikes. If you want to watch a long-winded masterclass, check out one of the expert figure painter channels on You Tube instead.
We have tried to add alternative techniques for those of you who do not use airbrushes.
We hope you enjoy this and that it inspires you to try your hand at the tips.
