This was my first resin figure (but won't be my last now) and also my first attempt at ACU. Only my second "proper" figure effort., not counting efforts years ago that got OD, flesh & black boots
Some more pics:
I discovered I didn't have the right combination of eye-sight, steady hand and patience to paint ACU in the method described on some forums. Having tried the finest brush, toothpicks, pins & needles it just was not working for me.
So, I base coated the figure in dark sea-grey and allowed to dry. I then painted some light sea grey onto a dimpled surface and dabbed it up with a dimpled kitchen towel befoore dabbing onto the figure. The combination of dimples seemed to come close to a reasonable pattern but now that I've photographed and blown-up I'm not so sure. The camera also shows a lot of other bits I need to fix
My first real attempt at figures were these:
