How to paint 28mm french figures

 In this post I'm not going to go over how i paint faces i will leave that to go over in another post, The idea with this is to show you how easy it is to get a great finish on you figures.

The first step is to wash the figures to make sure that they are clean of any residue then undercoat in a flat black.

All paints are either Gw or Valleji

I start with the flesh first ( i will cover this later)

1.)then apply the dark Prussian Blue to the all areas needing blue don't leave any black areas other than edges eg. of coats belts...

2.) then apply medium sea grey to any area that will end up white

3. appy intense blue  leaving samll amounts of bard blue to show through.

4.) apply flat blue as the second highlight use sparingly on raised areas only

5.) apply white over the grey leaving small amouts of the grey to show through. ( there are heaps of pictures on the web that you can use to see how pants are painted for referenc as well)

6.)apply black red to all areas that will end up red

7.) paint blood red leaving small amounts of back red to show through i repeat the red when dry on small areas this brightens these areas of red a bit more.

8.) apply shinig gold to the gun and buckles

9.) apply scorched brown to gun hair and pack

10 .)apply bolt gun silver to gun barrel

11.) apply calthan brown to hear and gun

12.)apply british uniform brown to pack

13.)apply orchar yellow highlight to hair

14.) sometimes apply a third highlight of pastle blue  around pockest

15.) apply burnished gold  as a highlight to the shining gold on the gun
