How to paint 1/72nd scale figures tutorials

There are various resin, and metal figures available which are paintable similar to 1/35 and 54mm figures. And then there are Dragon styrene 1/72 figures available in some of their vehicle kits if you are lucky enough to find any as they have been OOP for many years.

Hi Jody,
Soft plastic or hard material? If soft plastic, Krylon makes a spray that is for plastic and it works great - I have suffered no chipping or flaking off figures prepped with it.
Ditto for gesso. Go get it at an art store.
Here are some figures (incomplete) I painted. If you like the way they look, I'll tell you what I did.

I normally build 1/72nd scale armor but this time I want to ad some figures to my vehicles.
So with this in mind,I would like to know if there is any tutorials or how-to videos/websites on how to paint 1/72nd scale figures? There's got to be a website or videos out there that focuses on just 1/72nd scale figures.
thank you.
