PAINTING UNIFORMS WITH ACRYLICS - NUTS PLANET 101ST AIRBORNE BUST (1/10TH SCALE) PART 2

Welcome to part 2 of a series on the excellent Nuts Planet 1/10th scale resin bust (Ref: NP-B007) depicting Damian Lewis as paratrooper Maj. Richard Winters in the HBO TV series Band of Brothers.

This film is not a figure-painting masterclass, simply a demonstration of how I painted this release back in 2015-2016 using acryllics. In this case, it was Lifecolor paints, a brand I was relatively new to back then.

You can get all the Lifecolor range via The Airbrush Company in the UK at http://www.airbrushes.com. Thanks to them for working with Scale War Machines for many years. In fact, the bust was also supplied by http://www.historexagents.com, another friend of the channel.

In this episode aimed at beginners, I first recap, then cover how I painted the uniform and accessories, like his personal weapons and webbing - this was done with both an airbrush and paint brushes.

You will see that I mention the following films:
   • LIFECOLOR LIQUID PIGMENTS  
   • DRYBRUSHING - SCALE MODEL HOW TO GUIDE
