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 . Thanks to them for working with Scale War Machines for many years. In fact, the bust was also supplied by , 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: Chapter Markers: 00:00 - Pre-titles 00:20 - Desk recap and construction 01:42 - Painting begins - selection of Lifecolor sets 01:53 - Primer coat for the model and small accessories 02:07 - Painting the uniform 02:27 - Painting the helmet 02:56 - Adding shadow and dark patches with Olive Drab 03:34 - Zenithal highlights 04:07 - Painting the bandolier and webbing 05:15 - Painting the musette bag/backpack 05:27 - Painting the pouches and accessories 06:03 - Painting leather 06:17 - Painting M1 Garand personal weapon 06:35 - Liquid Pigments 08:38 - M1 Garand metal parts & buttons and metal components 09:34 - Touching up base coats and hessian strips 09:51 - Touching up with Olive Drab, corrections and shadows 09:55 - Touching up and building up base coats 10:09 - The Drybrushing technique use on helmet 10:57 - Highlights, creases and detailed highlights 12:08 - Adding blueing to the metal weapons’ parts 12:35 - Painting the water canteen in detail 13:27 - Lettering applied 14:00 - Highlighting the rest of the model 16:03 - Woollen Olive Drab, corrections and shadows 16:30 - Where we got to in Part 1 17:08 - Using Lifecolor reflecting agent on metal parts 17:39 - Lifecolor pigments applied dry for mud & dust 18:20 - Final summary 18:35 - Mud stippling 18:52 - Conclusion 19:25 - End credits Hope you enjoy it and see you next time. #scalemodel #figurepainting #paintingminiatures Please visit us: Or give us a like: We’re also on Twitter: And Pinterest: Copyright © 2024 Scale War Machines All Rights Reserved
