My Speedpainting redcoats technique (1/72 HaT miniatures):
Prep and base to taste- after a soapy warm water wash mine were PVA'd to 20mm washers and then the bases were built up with some filler and sand. I didn't de-flash these figures at all.
Colours used (Derivan Minis unless otherwise noted):
Army Painter Skeleton Bone spray
Vallejo MC 70.995 German Grey
Prussian Blue
Roman Red
White
Celtic Green
Light Chestnut
Flesh
Silver
Desert Stone
Vallejo 73.300 Sepia Shade wash
1 Basecoat Army Painter Skeleton Bone
2 Boots grey; trousers blue; jacket red
3 Webbing, piping etc. white. Green to collar tabs and cuffs. I blocked in all of the epaulettes, then filled in the middle with red and did the piping on the trousers.
4 Rifle: brown with grey metalwork. Grey for the bayonet scabbard as well.
5 Flesh, sideburns, bayonet. Touch up the helmet with Desert Stone if required.
6 Sepia wash. I paint this on, and try to brush away any pooling.
7 Flock to taste
I've slightly refined the process since these pictures were taken. I do the boots at the same time as the rifle (Step 4), and I paint the buttons and belt buckle gold (Step 5).
