Hey guys, while I was narrating this video I forgot to mention that this technique works for both bullet holes and shrapnel damage. That Tiger 1 reference photo is clearly a shrapnel hole :) So it depends on what you wanna create, but the method is always the same.
Also, these are just the most basic, straightforward and well known techniques that I've been working with over the years. The first method could be used on airplanes too, but for some reason you don't see many fighter plane models with battle damage.
your painting is AMAZING! Do you have a tutorial on this!? (New SUB)
CAN you talk about how you paint the bullet holes and shell Impacts ?
I alway put 'painted bullet holes' on aeroplanes. Doing a M8 Vietnam tank at moment that's going to be riddled with bullet holes now ☘️🤟
@@armchairphilosopher6880 you will be delighted with every video this man has. Every model he features has more less the same stages of general construction so you have a fair bit to choose
@The Rockall Times almost 51 now, how cool is that?! :)))))
Tiger: "I'm so square, that even my bullet holes are squares".

The square hole was made by a tumbling bullet/shell.
The best set of videos about scale modeling I’ve ever seen on UA-cam 👍
Yeah. It's nice to see someone focusing on finishing a model and not how to glue one together
@@tpaul802 I see who you are roasting
I was just binging this guys content after just finding him this morning and then a new video gets released. I don’t do any of this stuff but it’s a freakin great watch.
So do i :D
Excellent tutorials !
I’ve been an avid modeler for over 50 years and you’re teaching me skills I never tried or heard of
Damages have never been so beautiful...and realistic!
dislikes - persons who just destroyed parts of their kit with a dremel ?
People who use heated up coat hangers, needles, guitar strings and bb guns for most realistic results. There were quite a lot of them in the last week's comment section :D
I think they are just the Nordic fanbase trying to leave a like. Always drunk and missing things you know?
@@NightShiftScaleModels, I assume than bb-guns should emit hits from 305mm naval guns, that's cool.
@@Dreg0 Nothing sounds better than being hit by a twin naval cannon from a P1000 Ratte in the morning.
@@NightShiftScaleModels smells like victory?
still really would love to see you do a series where you tackle a warhammer vehicle! I am constantly trying to take things I learn from military modeling and translate them to my wargaming minis but I would love to see what an actual professional military scale modeler could do!
I started to come and watch your videos for the content but now I watch them for the bloopers........also the modeling. Don't ever stop being you, you cheer me up no end. Thank you.
Uncle...every week you teach me something new. The dimension you add to the model build is incredible. Thank you Professor Night Shift!
New to the hobby but I love it. Your videos are great. Informative, inspirational, and high quality. Thank you sir and keep doing what youre doing.
I can remember making the holes with a hot needle, but it was 45 years ago - I think it's reassuring to see that I'm not the only one to make this beginner mistake. I'm glad that Plasmo nudges the standard higher, but it's REALLY cool that you call some techniques overkill. Like another video of yours where you say that you don't use dry pigments for weathering washes. The point is to get all of the information out there so we can use whatever methods we want. Of course, trying to emulate damage in photo evidence from actual tanks seems to be the best approach; but not all of us have the ability to do this. Fortune passes everywhere.
Why not use the hot needle technique? I'm curious as it's what I did to spruce up a mostly assembled off the shelf m3 Lee. I think it looks good, just wondering.
This is the second video I watch from you, and I just had to subscribe! Such great content, keep it going buddy!
i never knew that there could be a funny modeler.
but i was wrong.
Scale Modeller humour is quite similar to Military humour... because many modellers have experiance there too :) .
@@jimtaylor294 except me because iam 13 so a young modeler but hey still funny!

New viewer here. I just wanted to say that I appreciate your awesome tutorials and the wealth of knowledge and experience that you share with us and noobs like me.
Another awesome video mate this video came out at a perfect time. I am building a Russian tank and was wanting to add battle damage and your tips were really helpful as always. Hope you have a great weekend.
I've moved to clicking the thumbs up button before even clicking play. Makes no sense to wait, since the video will be as fantastic as always :D Thanks for doing all this!
Night shift. I have spent the last three days adding flame cuts all over my model. Even in unrealistic places 😂 I really like the look.
Great video!! I used your technique on your bounce off mark on your last video and it worked very well. Thanks bro ;)
Niceee!
Night Shift Yeah! ;)
Bullet holes are usually oval or round. Shrapnel holes can be any shape. Just a stupid comment to an awesome video. 👍😉
Another great video. It's all in the little details. Have a nice one. 😎
Your videos become better and better. Very interesting, and very useful! ;)
Love your stuff. Having fun while watching alot of humor in your film. .. I'm in my budget or try to be.. I have paint about 4 years old... so I reused it all unless it runs out! But like I said I'm on a budget.
Thank you another useful tip, love your videos!
Thank you for this video sir I just started attempting combat damage for my patron and didn’t know how to go about doing that you video helped out tremendously sir so thank you
Love your description of the technique you are clear and thoughtful. I would like to ask about fenders. In many photos of tanks in the field the fenders are damaged. The parade ground versions are of course pristine, but I would think in the field they would take a beating.
To anyone who is also living in Finland ,happy independence Day

Valkoinen Suomi 102 vuotta!
haven't even been to Finland, but greetings Suomi guys!
Thanks for all the tips you share. They are very helpful.
Another great lesson, thank you night shift ☘️
Great video and thanks for all the information and tutorials!
Very cool refresher tips, thank you!!
Awesome Tipps and Tricks, thanks for sharing it!
Amazing! Keep it up, I would love to make a massive battle diorama one day
Magnificent, enjoyed it!
Nice advice! Thanks!!
Great video, I'm late to the party but never the less i thoroughly enjoyed the video.
Great video, as always
Thanks uncle nightshift! You’ve given me the confidence to order my first tank kit!
So cool! What did you get?
Tamiya 1/35 m24 Chaffee
Great choice for your first model. Easy to assemble, not too many parts, you'll have a good time!
Tamiya is my favorite brand. Good quality, easy to assemble, and good detail
it's so helpful video! thanks!
Great tutorial.
You had my interest, now you definitely got my attention! ;)
Wow you are incredible, i will try a lot of things.
Thx for the channel
Good job foreign dude now i can confidently make holes on my MPC Joker Getway Car 1977 Dodge Monaco
Do you have any footage of that Trumpeter JS-7 because that is an incredible model you’ve made, very interested in how you managed to get the rust, dirt, and snow weathering. Also the camouflage is incredible with small amounts of detail on how the paint runs off after time.
Thanks for the lesson!
Nice job thx 4 the info.

Hey, i'v been watching your videos. Do you do this professionally like models for TV, games, etc? because some of your stuff is mind blowing it looks so realistic... i envy your patience.
This helped me a lot because I am building a Sherman that was hit by shrapnel from an exploding vehicle.
Who ever came up with the old lighter and a nail? I've done this too as a kid, so at one point it must have been "common knowledge" of how to make damage. 🤔🤔 This way is of course much better!!
Yeah, I almost set our basement on fire when I was 13. I left the model hanging on a hook over a candle to soften so I could bend a fender. Guess it wasn't a good idea to leave it to soften up and go for dinner.😋
@@SmallSoldier 🤣🤣🤣 at least that's one lesson you learn the first time!
@@BrailleScale Oh yeah, it scared the shit out of me... never left anything unattended after that.
I would love to see that video you mentioned about weld lines on metal parts. No matter though, this is amazing quality content nonetheless
Holy Holes Mate! Thank you.
Hi! Is there a video about the construction of the churchill gun carrier on the channel? It looks great!
but what if was a lascanon shot? or a plasma one? or even an HE round that explodes outside the tank? I MUST KNOW
HOT NEEDLE
and then set it on fire :)
@@NightShiftScaleModels But what if my tank was attacked by daemons? Or Tyranids? What then?
@@NightShiftScaleModels I think you are trying to bamboozle me ¬¬
POST-DATA: what if the damage was caused by a HEAT shell wich actually melts the metal?
been waiting for all the day for this moment.
BTW. I think that setting a timechedule so everyone knows the date and hour when the video is published would make up much more for the emotion
Every Friday at 6pm (GMT+1) :)
I would use the regular shell technique with more putty fidling. This picture looks dope upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/60/M113_damage.jpg/800px-M113_damage.jpg
Hi NightShift, could you tell what you use to next prime that brass or copper metal elements eg boxes or fenders before painting them? A standard primer or some special one?
Oh yeah thank you for your teaching.
Excellent video. What if you can't get to the back side to remove excess plastic, will this still work? Thanks
Your content makes me want to start a new model, but I don’t really have enough money to spare to buy a air stencil, or the paints used here without putting myself in the red.
Super video, jako vždy.
Dělá vůbec někdo nejen vstupní, ale i výstupní otvory při průstřelu?
Thank you for the tips. I have a number of projects I'm going to fine tune... works in process, aren't they all?
MARTIN!!! Another great video. You saved my day from being complete crap!
Super !!! More my master 🍻🚀💪🏿😁✌️
Great video. Im doing my first model in 25yrs ( M2A2 Bradly Iraq) and am try to figure out how to do battle dmg on modern tanks, non penatrating RPG strikes, bullet dents, shrapnel on modern Armor. Could use some advice.
Awesome!
enjoying your vids , the techniques are great but the commentary is fucking hilarious!!!
Turned out notifications just for you after 5 years of ignoring and first
And pls do a snow effects tutorial
@@Cake_Doge snow!
@@Cake_Doge YES! Something like an ISU-152 with snow and ice effects! Elaborate and in great detail and with humour too! :P
hey, loved your video and I am searching for a nice IS-7 model since a long time, which one is yours?
tnx uncle Night Shift, you are making really good content.
I'm new to al this armour modeling, got into it by chance while playing alot of World of Tanks.
You are giving a lot of amaizing info to us new modelers, so tnx for everything
If you could give me one piece of info first: "How to get my wife to sign off on all of it?????"
Watching in Bangkok right now 😁
What do you do with your finished models? Do you sell them or are they commissioned?
Informative!
IS-7 upper side-hull is OP, cant pen!
'Uncle Night Shift' - LOL!
If you poke the hole/micro drill through the plastic first then use the Dremel to thin it out it doesn't look as good? That is the way I was taught, I've never done it the other way around as you show in the video.
I'm planning on making a destroyed sherman somthing along the lines of what it t looked like at the end of fury
How would you paint HEAT and/or HESH hits?
Спасибо за видео! :D
For me I dont have such tools so...it kinda suck...however I heat up a metal object with a round end and impress against the point where I want. Or I use my hobby knife to "drill" a hole.
I haven't figure out how to create a proper looking HEAT shell impact. I'm working on a Tamiya T-72M1, and I want to make a HEAT impact on the turret. But, haven't found a tutorial or a method that looks all that great yet.
Firecrackers give the best HE damage. C4 is great for the big stuff!👊👊
Great.
Hi Uncle! Nice and easy technique to follow. Great vid thanks for sharing.
And who uses a hot needle / pin for this?
I definitely did when I was a kid, and some modellers do it to this day :D
everyone in the last video seemed to be using a hot nail :D
@@Panzermeister36 H O T C O A T H A N G E R
Was actually about to use it. Probaply a newcommer thing :)
Please do full model videos!
Please build the cheap 20$ t34 on Amazon rn and do a tutorial on improving model kits or working with a budget
(Maybe cool diy details like the bedspring armor)
I know this is a pretty dumb question, but, I have a tank I’ve already painted, washed, etc. and I was wondering if I can do this technique after the paint, or if I have to do it before.
Kairo The Protogen Before
Can you tell us 'bout the color to use? Dark grey or silver?
A hot needle can work for armor hit with heat rounds as that wound melts the metal
spike001ton Well no, if you look at heat round impacts, it looks very different from a regular conventional shell impact
I really have big problems with weathering. Could there be a video from start to finish? or am i missing something
I wonder if this will also work on Resin...… Time to test :-)
Ever thought of using a soldering iron with a small tip?
Night shift how can I do this on fiberglass? I have a 1/6 scale king tiger but it’s fiberglass, I have seen your other video and do I just need to use a drill with putty and paint brush!
Shoot it with a hot needle
Wow, Martin... over 2 million views! How does that feel?
Do PE parts generally fit same scale model kits regardless of brand? For instance would a PE TAMIYA set for a Revell or Ammo model? Like I have commented before I got a little over zealous with my lighter and turned a fender into laughy taffy 😂
SMall details like tool clamps should fit any brand, but more specific details like fenders or air intake mesh screens might not.
What happened to the Churchill Gun Carrier
I thought about heating up the end a needle then plunging it through and let fall out on the other side, would this work?
Not the pointy end, the blunt end.
Hey where do you get your models
What was the first tank.seen in video
What grit is your sanding sponge?
What model kit is this for the tiger tanks?
Where do you get these models
