HOW TO: Painting REALISTIC Rusty Tank Tracks
Вставка
- Опубліковано 11 лип 2024
- In this video we'll paint plastic workable tracks and make them look like rusty metal ones. This type of weathering is ideal for your abandoned or destroyed tank model.
Tank tracks come in many shapes, sizes and colors. They can be soaking wet and muddy, dry and muddy, snowy, dusty, and anything and everything in between, so this is just one of many different color palettes and textures they offer us, scale modellers.

Hey mates, just wanted to say I'm really happy with this video and it's probably my favorite so far. I had a great time filming and editing and honestly feel like the footage turned out really good.
Hope you enjoyed it as well!
It was an excellent video, thank you.
I think I said these are for an abandoned tank... at least 10 times 😁😁😁
Yes, I plan on making a full blown playlist about weathering different types of tank tracks. Basically each time I build a model with some interesting texture on the tracks, there will be a video about it.
Keep it up, your videos are some of the most usefull i have come across for me
Realistic tracks are difficult for me you make it seem easy I’m gonna give this method a whirl
I'm glad you mentioned that these kinds of tracks exist on abandoned and destroyed tanks only, cause a lot of modellers, and even some big names in the modelling world do their models with such rusty tracks on a tank that is supposed to be operational which is absolutely ridiculous.
Are you referring to Sheperd Paine?
@@williamjohnson7963 No, some Spanish guy, even though if it was Shep, it wouldn't change the fact of what I wrote.
@@jogados You are correct that my surmisal of referencing Shep Paine doesn't alter what you wrote, but Shep Paine was the person who came to my mind. He was a very prominent modeller in the 1980's and beyond, and his tracked vehicles always had heavily rusted tracks.
I always thought that a dark brown base was the best colour for rust or tank tracks, but I can see the value in having a dark grey base instead. You are indeed a master of your craft.
I love how much confidence you have in your techniques and skills. You give instruction with great conviction and the results really back you up :) Superb
That's because I only talk about stuff I know at least something about. It's not like I'm gonna paint, let's say, my first figure ever, and call it HOW TO PAINT FIGURES TUTORIAL :)
On the other hand, if something doesn't work as well as I expected, I always make sure to point it out.
I can't tell anymore. How much of this is pure talent and how much is the result of dedication and constant improvement? The original meaning of "Kung Fu" in Chinese is "the ultimate level of art and craftsmanship reached by hard work, endless repetition and training". So, in more ways than one, you are the 少林 of modeling.
Thanks a lot mate. I don't have talent for anything, so I guess it just comes down to practice :)
GREAT TECHNIQUE and GREAT DEMONSTRATION of how to do it. Plastic looks EXACTLY like real steel.
My favourite nocturnal channel and the sun’s still shining... ? Mmmm still, there’s no time like the present for German grey and rust.
Great video. Love the end result. And I really like your approach to the work - to the point, explaining exactly what is being shown on-screen, no extra nonsense. Keep up the great work!
SUPERB results! Thanks for sharing all of this, again :) Motivates me to start a new model again after doing no model related stuff for a while :)
8:28 "a surprising amount of brute force", wisdom from the master! Good work man keep it up
InformAtive. To the point. Funny. Top quality. My new fav AFV UA-cam modeller. Thank you
While I am not a military modeler, I have learned so many great techniques that I can apply to model railroading. I really enjoy your methods and how well you explain what you are doing and why. Also, the bits of humor make it enjoyable to watch. Thank you for all your presentations.
Just used this tutorial today. Modified as I didn’t have the exact paints but MAN. Once I figured out a decent combo based on paints I had, I am very pleased with the results!
Love how you explain things as your showing it being done
Brought the light... both the light... boat the light... both the light... vot the light...both the light. I love it! :)
That bloopers was amazing! Found an new favorite modeling channel!
Tremendous stuff
Look forward to these on a friday
It is a pleasure watching your videos. You are hilarious all the while giving fantastic advice. Please keep them coming! Cheers!
Interesting approach and phenomenal result. Ingenious!
What a easy and awesome looking technique. Thank you for sharing!
You are the master !!! No one comperes to you . Learnt so much watching your videos. Thank you 🙏
Thanks for the video just applied this technique to the spare tracks on my 1:16 king tiger. It looks amazing
thank you for your professional quality videos - this quality commitment brings us an ideal food in our model project. Thank you for sharing this know-how
I was just about to start on my KV-1 tracks so this comes in handy
The techniques is excellent, very rich in details. But the bloopers are fantastic!.
Amazing result !!! Again thank you so much for sharing your experience ..🤗🤗
Love the video presentation, love the fun loving attitude mixed with your humour. Well done, and yes, the video is a standard reference for me on how to get these great results. You should be proud of the internet standard you are setting with how to present a technique and excellent "out of this world" results. I have watched others since subscribing to yours, but I only watched them when I have trouble sleeping, better than prescription drugs.
I'm so tired of modellers just painting the tracks black. You lose so much colour and texture.
Martin, you beautiful human! Those tracks are next level. Incredible!
Amazing video! Thanks for sharing all these interesting techniques! The result is just superb!
Wow, so many different steps I lost count. Great video Mr Kovac and a great result. 👍🏻
Your name night shift . I never thought of that I wander how many like security guy work night and just sit there I would defanatly bring my models to work and work on them...great show thank
I love these videos. It’s really helped improve my model making so much.
These are the best I've seen so far Uncle Night Shift you're Da Bomb 🏁🙌✌ love all your tutorials! So helpful to see how one can improve on their skills! Thanks 😊
Your humour makes these videos even better!
I always love your stuff, so much detail I don't know how you do it! Looks better than the real thing
14 minutes to finish those tracks is amazing
Adam is slowly becoming my number 2, you are now the king my friend!!!
Another outstanding video in this awesome series ...love it !
Great stuff! ‘Uncle Night Shift’ taught you well. I have some difficulty with tracks, but I will definitely try this technique now. Keep ‘em coming!
Hi, have to agree with the Lifecolor Rust and Dust set, been using them for a couple of years now and have achieved great results, handy for light rust using a sponge, love your channel too, some fantastic tips.
I love watching ur modeling skills. You are really good and help me so much keep it up
Looks so real, another impressive work, wonderful and professional technique!👍👍
Astounding (and not just because this track set has track pins)!
Jeez! I've been away from this hobby too long. Retiring soon, time to dive back in!
Wow!!!! Masterclass AGAIN !!! thx for this.
They’re so beautiful...... great job 👍
Purely awesome ❤
I'm a simple man - I see a new Night Shift video; I click on it.
>"I have to make sure not to lose them."
>immediately loses them
Every time.
Your videos are just ….fun! I’m learning so much from them. Thank you.
Hey Night Shift. Been a fan for a while. I havent gotten into armor yet, but plan on it soon. Your vids are very nice and interesting and I learn alot. Thank you!
Hi, Night Shift, I have started to watch your videos not so long ago, but this video is exactly what I need by now (and the video about realistic exhausting system), because I have been building WH40k Baneblade, and I want to do it brilliantly... Sooo, your tricks and guides are really awesome. I just finished one of the tracks, and result is really impressive. I've tried to find and blend some colours to get the colours you have. The only thing I have done extra is the thin metal dry brush at the edges, while it adds kinda contrast to the whole tracks and make them look a bit special
Martin, your videos are simply the best. So much knowledge and humour. You are doing a great job promoting this hobby. Keep up the fine work and build something russian allready, will ya 😉
hi mate, in england as a butcher I'm lucky enough to be classed as an essential worker, I'm so exhausted and for the past few days I've been unable to move when I get home. I want to say a massive thank you for your content because all I've been able to do is youtube. stay strong ✌
Thanks Martin, very informative and interesting! Great technique!
Amazing work Uncle Nitenite.And your spot on about the enamel paints eating plastic tracks like model kasten which have very small plastic"pins"holding them together.And they will desolved or soften enuff to fall apart with enamel paints/thinners. This is a great video.
Congratulations budy! That's technique is amazing!
Beautifully finished, a usual. Too much talent for one person, but nice that you're sharing it out. Cheers bud.
Absolutely amazing!
love your commentary, always fun to listen to. Learnt some good tips which I'm off to try on a set of Friuls, so thanks .
Such a great video my friend keep up the good work you really do help with these techniques and you have a good personality
Wow....looks super realistic, congratulation
As a non armour modeller I found your video very clear and demystifying. The one AFV I have built in recent times I struggled with the tracks and never did come close to anything realistic. I am hoping you cover the painting of the rubber band type tracks? The pacing of your videos is really good.
Another fantastic video. Thanks Martin.
I'm here as always when new video comes! 👍
As a new subscriber, im really impressed with your videos. Thx
Awesome job Martin and I agree with your opinion on life color paints. I use them and have for quite a while and love the results
Another great tutorial Martin! I will creatively steal your techniques when I paint my T-34/122 tracks. Of course with full credit to yourself.😁👊🏻👊🏻
As always very interesting. Now I have another way to use my Ammo rust set.
Just watched this again the other day cause I'm tackling my first Tiger tank...Tamiya Tiger I with rubber band tracks. Although I used Vallejo rust colors as that is what I had, I am quite happy with my results so far; especially the spare track sections on the turret side. I figure the rubber tracks will look better once I add some mud and dirt effects, putting them on the vehicle. I must say that the key part for me was starting with a gray base coat. Thanks for the help and the interesting videos!!
Great video my friend. The ending was very amusing! Thanks and ill be watching more!
When i need advise on panzer vehicle i go to your channel ! You are an expert in this matter.
Congratulations! Very cool!!
Great work, Great advice, Thank-you.
thanks for your great technique!
Outstanding work Sir, you are a genius! Kind regards Johnny
I am definitely going to use the second week on my one to one scale Fiat model I am working on for a film I do appreciate your videos very much
Mostly interested in aircrafts but your video, apart from very educating and interesting, was fun and enjoyable to watch. Very well done sir!
Awesome videos, and your commentaries are very entertaining.
Nah, this guy is actually a giant and those are real tracks, fake news! p.s, you are my favourite YT modeller, thanks for sharing your techniques!
This is my go to video when doing tracks 😊
same
NICE BOI! I definitely need this technique!
I haven’t done a model in years and I’m not sure if I have to. Pretty satisfying dude. Just discovered you today and I’ve watched all your videos. I should be studying for my test instead. Cheers!
thanks for this wonderful video...please make more about other type of tracks 🤗🤗🤗
Love your videos! Hope to see more tutorials!
Outstanding sir
Good video Martin - mmmmmm Aqua Line - work as good as they smell - probably the best smelling model product I have ever used, blends pretty good too.
Can't decide what's better, their performance or their smell :)
Really excellent.
This tutorial is great just finnished air brushing mine and waitnig it to dry :)
this is actually incredibly helpful i burnished my steel tracks for my e100 model and now i know how to make them even more detailed :D
Ahhh, weathering metal tracks is sooooo satisfying, much easier than those fragile plastic ones :) Have fun!
@@NightShiftScaleModels haha, will do :)
Thank you!..this was very helpful.!
Another great video!
Amazing!
I love these videos and this channel
Thanks that was very informative, cheers!
Great quality stuff!
Very good method!!!!
fantastic!
Both the light....Lol. Subscription done. Thanks matey from New Zealand 🇳🇿
Video turned out great Martin!
Hi! I wanted to say a huge thank-you for sharing your amazing knowledge with us. I am confident that my next model will be vastly improved thanks to your tutorials. The level of skill and detail you bring to your models is something the rest of us aspire to, I am sure.
If you are looking for ideas, I would really love to see a diorama with a dust cloud and how you would go about achieving that effect. I have a Leopard A4 I want to jump off a slight rise trailing a cloud. I've found a few ideas and methods of doing it, but something tells me that you would probably do a better tutorial with a better looking effect.
Anyway, I've subscribed and am really enjoying your content. Keep up the good work Mate:)
wesome video love the paint work keep them coming
