Continuing the series of updates to one of our more popular videos on face painting for scale models and figures or busts, this film is once again with a 1/10th scale Young Miniatures resin bust of a Knight Templar in Jerusalem, who happens to look a bit like Sean Connery (YH1827). As it's Movember (Google it), it felt fitting to deal with the prickly issue of facial hair and beards.
Our other video for 1/35th scale figures' faces is here:

This is a simple non-elitist step-by-step video guide to painting figures' faces with beards/facial hair using Vallejo's excellent Model Color range. This is aimed at everyday figure painting and our background is armour modelling. We have only really got into figure painting with busts relatively recently. This is a summary of the techniques we have picked up along the way. So this tutorial from scalewarmachines.com is aimed at beginner modellers & 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 even for beginners. If you want to watch a long-winded masterclass, check out one of the expert figure painter channels on You Tube instead.
We hope you enjoy this and that it inspires you to try your hand at a larger scale bust or figure.
If you want to see how we painted the torso, uniform (tabard and shield), let us know in the comments.
