I've updated this guide to take into account a quicker painting style for 15mm figures, and greater use of Contrast paints....
1) Personally I don't spray undercoat on 15mm. Undercoat tunic & trousers in mid-grey, skin in standard flesh, helmet in black including comb, boots in black, rucksack in dark brown, bedroll in dark grey, ammo pouch in black
2) Brown hair
3) A blob of pink (PA Old Rose for example) on each cheek and on the lips. Contrast Aggaros Dunes, watered down slightly on the brush. On detailed figures such as AB, a touch of Flesh on the cheekbones, bridge of the nose, chin and across the fingers and back of hand.
4) Entire musket in red-brown. Contrast Black Legion all over, watered down slightly on the brush.
5) Metallic parts (barrel, trigger, three cross-bands, cross, bayonet) in silver
6) Gun strap in white
7) Tidy up black on helmet or shako, without worrying about underneath the visor. Chin-straps.
8) Brass fittings on helmet in PA Gold (plate, helmet rim, two bosses; more elaborate for officers) with Contrast Snakebite (except officers), watered down on the brush.
9) Yellow sides to comb (paint over until vibrant)
10) Mid-green oak leaf
11) Collar in facing colour
12) Black triangle in collar (with white bowtie if officer)
13) Pick out cross-straps and centre of tunic with Contrast Black Legion, watered-down on the brush.
14) Tunic and cross-straps in white, except canteen cross-strap in grey
15) Trousers in white (for German units)
16) Cuffs, base of tunic, epaulette edges and turnbacks in facing colour
17) Touch-up black boots and ammo pouch, paint bayonet holder
18) Gold buttons (2-3) down tunic centre, two on each cuff, down side of boot (3-4), and on bayonet-holder tip
19) Khaki brown canteen with black webbing
20) Dry-brush rucksack in orange, then wash with Contrast Aggaros Dunes watered-down on the brush
21) Paint bedroll in mid-grey and highlight
22) White straps (3+3 or 3+2) on backpack and bedroll
23) Satin varnish
24) Base
