This is a simple non-elitist step-by-step video guide to painting figures' uniforms - this time the iconic movie star, Sir Sean Connery, who sadly passed away at the end of October 2020 - in particular his Denison Smock and webbing/accessories. The Denison Smock was a distinctive camouflaged overgarment designed specifically for British and Commonwealth paratroopers and airborne forces.
The resin bust is in 1/10th scale and is from Young Miniatures reference YM1870, it is called Red Devils Arnhem 17th Sept. 1944.
This video is intended for beginners and will be the third and final part on how to paint a 1/10th bust for those looking to use acrylics.
Apologies, for the delay but the first two parts never did that well at first, so I sort of postponed the final part of the series, but a few people have asked to see the uniform painted and funnily enough the first two parts are getting some views over time now. I am really grateful to the subscribers and viewers who asked to see part three as it really driven me on. Even if only one or two people show an interest, I am very happy to try and oblige.
In Part One, every step is shown starting with the preparation and priming, as well as using Vallejo Surface primers to block out the main colours.

In Part Two, the face and head were painted.

This is a summary of the techniques I have picked up along the way when using acrylics. So this tutorial from 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 is designed to be accessible and simple to follow. If you want to watch a masterclass by a maestro, please do check out any of the superb expert figure painter channels on You Tube.
Viewers may be interested to know materials used. I have no preferred paint range and use pretty much anything. Here I intermix Vallejo, Andrea Color and Lifecolor references. They are all great paints and each brand has given this channel great support over the years, for which we are extremely grateful.
