- Опубліковано 22 сер 2024
- Chipping a large model like this can be time consuming and exhausting. Luckily there are techniques that can make this process faster and easier. As you might know chipping is a process that employs several techniques and today we’ll take a look at the first step - light colored superficial chips painted using a sponge, paintbrush, and speckling.

So... does the sponge technique have potential?
I think it works quite okay... and saves a ton of time.
I love me the sponges! :D
Night shift I have just one more question brother, is it better to use acrylics or enamels for chipping? I have heard different things but would like to know your take on it. I have a hull red, green, and dark tan 1/6 king tiger and I don’t know what a good chipping color would be but I assume something light. Thanks again Night Shift!
@@weepweep2225 well if the base color of that KT is oxide primer/hull red, then I'd use that to chip both camouflage colors. Then I'd use a lighter version of that, something like salmon... as a light version of oxide primer, and then add dark grey steel chips into those light colored ones.
I still use it everyday but i do a lot of hand chipping It has its place it's another tool in the tool Box.
@@reconmodelsvaughn469 the entire chipping process becomes more efficient when starting with a sponge IMO
Most modeling channels demonstrate techniques. You actually show us how to get the results demonstrated. Best modeling channel on UA-cam.
Agreed, nothing is worse then some guy talking over a video of a finished model telling you "well here's the model after I did the chipping". These Bob Ross of modeling type videos are much more helpful when learning new techniques. Andy's Hobby HQ is another really good channel for learning, you should check him out.
Nothing wrong with "Eastern European getto solutions", mate. They usually work.
Thank you for being you, keep it up!
it aint stupid if it works 😁
Exactly.
@The Rockall Times Thanks! Slovakia
Nice work, and I really enjoy your very good English, your accent and your sense of humor.
who needs stand up comedy when I can listen to your bloopers! :)) thanks for the laughs and sharing your techinques
Wow, you have officially entered my realm of "so happy to see a new video notification from you".
By the way, you can reduce finger fatigue by using self-closing "reverse" tweezers. :)
Yup, I definitely should get one of those!
In shithole country, we add an rubber band on tweezers and ready our ass for a beating because we just ruin our mother dishwasher sponge.
@@bahamut149 Hah! Great idea, that totally works! Like the old saying goes, "necessity is the mother of invention" or in my words, hard times create ingenious solutions.
Great video! I have a question. Do you apply the chips before or after the first coat of varnish? Thank you
Your videos are so good! That I just came straight from the swimming pool to watch it in the computer! Thanks for making them!
The way you say "speckling" is going to be my new UA-cam notification sound.
Another excellent video and model. Thank you so much for taking the time to share your models, knowledge and techniques with us, for free, in perfect English. Anyone who remembers modelling as a kid with no internet or guidance will appreciate how good we have it now, with so many awesome modelling resources online, often for free. I for one am very grateful!
Keep up the great work.
Amen brother! I was starting with armor models the same way, no internet, no books, just one magazine with a tank from Mig Jimenez
I absolutely love your channel Martin!
Highly informative,, great results,, and extremely entertaining!!
Keep doing what you're doing my friend 😎👍
You make it look so easy, its looking so pretty so far
Sponge works great - use different sponge consistencies in your arsenal for different effects and chip sizes. Caveat - super easy to get carried away and put on way too many - super hard to get rid of if the acrylic has dried.
Also I liked the beginning summary of the steps coming in the video - would be really useful at the very end of your model to have a complete summary of all the techniques used in closing.
Once again great stuff - keep 'em coming Martin.
That's such a cool idea! Now I finally know how to properly end the series!
Sponge chipping and painting chips by hand is a match made it model heaven! :)
man this is great modeling! love your work and the bloopers make my day always :D
I have no interest in models outside of your videos but for some reason I am addicted to your channel
Great video Martin! Very thorough and easy to understand.
Again, so happy when i see you've uploaded
That model's coming alive now. As always, can't wait for the next video.
I love these videos and have learned a lot. Putting many of these techniques to use on a model I’m working on right now. I don’t have much experience yet so this helps a lot!
Half the battle is finding the right sponge.
I love the way you say "use sponge" as if the sponge has personality, in my head I have an image of a clever little sponge helping you chip your model. So cute! (Don't change it but if your learning English you have to add 'a' or 'the' to infer the sponge is an object "use a sponge" "using the sponge")
okay, thanks mate 😀
"use sponge" and "using a sponge" are both correct as sponge is both a material and an object.
@@mr_mctweets6905 Yes, I was thinking about that as well and you can use those combinations for people too... I failed English so I have no clear explanation of why some words are used over others. What Martin said is fine but sounded a little off in that context, but it just adds to his charm.
I love that moment of hindsight regret with the sponge technique. You can feel the pain haha.
Another great, and hilarious, video, Martin! You've restored my faith in the sponge method =P I can't wait to see those chips with steel tones =D
Thank you alot for this video. Will help me alot on my current build which i've tried everything you showed us!
Always look forward to your videos. So informative.
Looks good. Your precision is extremelly high. ;) And in topic of Japanese armour vehicles - maybe you will do something very small, e.g. Type 94 from IBG Models? Cheers! ;)
When I am building my 1/16 scale Hooben T-55 - I bought some "stone textured" paint from the hw store since I thought it would make a good natural looking effect on the area behind the road wheels, sure enough it looks pretty good, so long as you use it very sparingly! As, you can always use the other effects over it later.
Yay I love your tutorials brother! Thank you and can’t wait to try this out on the king tiger
Unbelievable how you keep the point on that brush still as brand new
9:08 - 9:30 there was never a truer word said. I get slated all the time for being "over weathered" and "unrealistic to reality" but I'm not doing it for that, I'm doing it because it's fun! Glad to see you have the same philosophy too by using a subject as inspiration for your own work, not to carbon copy. Great channel and great videos, I really enjoy your uploads and keep up the great work 👏
Playdoh
Well, it was really hard to look up on ebay these specific "slovakian kitchen sponges". At least there's free shipping, so they're coming up soon
Okay so i do models on videogame craft/vehicles and part of the scenes made for them involve other, less focused on, models of trucks and tanks. I like to throw a lot of unnecessary and unrealistic shading on the sections closest to the primary figure so it stands out a significant amount more. I tried this sponge technique for those kinds of shades and it works FANTASTICALLY
Your intro is the only one on the entirety of UA-cam that does NOT annoy me. I know this has nothing to do with this video, but this is youtube comments afterall. :)
Excellent as per usual Martin.
Thanks Scott 👌
@@NightShiftScaleModels 👊👊
waiting for the next video awesome work and bloopers !
I use sponge technique a lot. Usually 4 colors, a super light base color, dark grey, dark rust, light rust, the last 2 in very specific areas. Then I do brush chipping. It takes a long time but I love the added depth. And I'm with you on building models, have fun. Even trying to do something from a picture, you have to exaggerate a little. If people painted models like the real thing? They would have some seriously boring looking models. As someone who crewed Bradley's for 10 years, all kinds of things happened to paint jobs, just depends on where it was used. Can't wait for the panther...hope it's a Wiking one...wink...lol
Wiking? Not even close :))))
@@NightShiftScaleModels drats...lol
You rock! easy and great way to do the chipping, thanks for another excellent video, and the bloopers are so funny !
Man! you are a real master thanks for your videos, they ar a lot of fun
Fantastic video, very informative . Thank you
Your work is amazing. Thanks for sharing...
Beautiful craft
další skvělé video a Chi-Ri vypadá čím dál líp!
I love your channel Martin! Greetings from Germany.
Thanks for yet another great video, Martin. I cant wait until the next dark chipping episode..... I'm sad like that... 🤓
Yeah !! Chipping,the sponge technique works just fine testen on a tiger and like allways great video
Weekly bloopers are back!
Another great video! Love the bloopers! Lol!
“Properly tested and evaluated” lol nice bloopers.
superb video as usual, always make me laught too, keep it up your work is sublime
Your creative potential seems limitless. Like's n stuff. --Mav's Landlord
Another great video. I'd love to see you build and paint a heavily damaged tank, at some point (with battle damage and perhaps even smoke and flames).
Thank You , Martin .
Easter European ghetto solution? I choked on my coffee...
The prototype of this vechicle was scrapped so now we can call it Type 5 chi-RIP.
And the best comment award goes to....
U remembered me that I have some potato chips 😍
* me *: sees new video
* also me*: OOOOHHHHH YYYYEEEESSSS!!!!!
Another great Video! ;)
Wow, fantastic work!
Thanks a lot mate for sharing!
Martin great video, a big hello from Sydney Australia. Are you clear coating your base coats before adding these effects ?
Awesome video brother awesome job m8
Eastern European ghetto solution LOL HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. You've got my sub!
EVALUATED for Christ sake!!! 😂 sponge technic is great, have to try your pencil technic on a next model
The brush chipping, with size of brush do you use? because i try it with a a 5/0 and dont like it .
Zaku model kit next, and applying the techniques in your video hahahha
Oh yes, try the real grade zaku :-)
good video as always!
You don´t "have" to upload every week, you should do a video whenever you _feel_ like it. No need to burn yourself out just for youtube views. Relax and take your time!
When I was starting this whole UA-cam thing I told myself: one video a week. Don't wanna give up so early :)
That was fantastic - good fun to watch, well demonstrated and well explained, thanks. I'm going to go watch the previous videos now! Will this be part of a diorama?
nah, I don't really build dioramas or scenic bases :)
I suppose you don't have time after all the chipping! (-: Great channel anyway. I'm really looking forward to watching this series. Cheers.
Súper! Bloopers jajajajaja
Nice another movie for my lunch break!
Hi uncle Night Shift，how about modern main battle tank？Such as M1A2 tusk sep。
Here before 100k subs
Klasicky parada :) Neplanujes aj nejake video s lietadlami? :)
Radšej nie :D
@@NightShiftScaleModels Ale no :D
YES!
I am loving your channel such great advice can't wait to see your next video. By any chance will u do a video on fading?
I did like 3 of them as of right now 😉
@@NightShiftScaleModels fantastic I am new to the whole armour builds I am doing my first tank as we speak. And your channel has helped me so much when it comes to the whole weathering side of armour kits.
@@rodneyjaswinsky6480 thanks a lot. this is my 3rd model on this channel. Each model is basically a video series from start to finish, so maybe you can check them out and get an idea about each weathering technique.
Nice video.
Wow this is is great! So question: What color if the model is a green/sand yellow camo color?
Depends on which is the base color. If green, then light green. If sand yellow, then sand yellow + white :)
Do you get detail-blind after a while ? I need to take breaks and sometimes even sleep on it to get a fresh perspective
May I ask, what brand(s) of brushes do you use? What brush size did you use in the 2nd part (connecting the sponge chips)? I'm a railroad modeler but your techniques have so many useful applications with my models. Keep these great uploads coming, I truly enjoy them!
Thanks, my fav chipping brush is Vallejo Red Sable 000
That tank looks like it has measles.
Again a great video, thanks for going so much in the details, it help a lot for understanding the technique.
With oils, I have the reverse issue: when I try to remove too much of it, the acrylic under coat (Ammo by Mig) is starting the wear off, sometimes even the primer). Strangely, it is quite hard when it is on the airbrush parts! Do I need a varnish protection layer?
It’s always good to create that varnish barrier against enamel thinners. What you describe happened to my friend as well. Tamiya lacquer paints are very sturdy, they’ll hold against anything even without varnish
@@NightShiftScaleModels Thanks for the answer, I will try with a varnish protection next time
I've never really been convinced about chipping as a whole; to me it just looks a bit like drybrusing but gone OTT... However, this appears to be quite subtle (from what I can see on the vid anyhow) so it might be time to go and tear up a sponge (ssshh, don't tell the old lady that I'm abusing her sponges) and give this a go.
Keep up the good work mate, very nice vid and love your sense of humour.
What's an Eastern European Ghetto solution by the way?
Well I have to say it again, but just you wait until you see the second layer of dark chips and especially the rust tones on this thing :)
Eastern European Ghetto Solution (EEGS) is a state of mind - if something exists as a commercially available product, then instead of buying it, you make it yourself from anything you can find laying around.
@@NightShiftScaleModels Ahah! yes, EEGS now makes sense; and isn't it a good thing to try and make your own stuff instead of (sometimes) laying out lots of cash only to be disappointed? Over 30yrs of modelling I have built up a small drawer full of stuff like that...
Anyhow; can't wait for next vid, keep up the good work, and yeah, I'll reserve judgement until you say 'job done'.
Cheers.
eva, eva, evaliu..... hahahha awesome
When do you varnish your model and with what : clear, satin...
Really goods chipping effects ! :D
Check the second video of this series where I explain it in detail. but in short: satin
Poland recommend :)
Best Waifu is back. Remember dont lewd him lads
macaroni, macaroni, don’t lewd the night shift loli
What about German 3 color camo would you have to do each color itself or would just do German sand ?
just sand would be enough. take that olive drab patch on the side as an example
I realize you are doing a "demonstration", but on most painted surfaces paint does not tend to chip on the large flat areas. I see paint chips on the edges and, oddly, the inside corners where 2 surfaces meet. Now with vehicles that throw up rocks and stuff, the leading surfaces may chip.
It depends on so many factors mate. But yes, basically what you said
please make a video on how to make zimmerit !!!!
Mate, your videos are the best 😂. Now please, for the love of everything holy, build something soviet.
Right after I'm done with this model :)
Night Shift woohoooo!!! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
do you have to use a lighter colour for chipping with sponge?
Well, in this case yes, as I'm going for a 3D effect which will be created in conjunction with darker steel chips painted on top of those.
Nice
Nice work, but english writtings on japanese tank ??
This tank was captured by Americans, duh :)
jan gwoździk it was captured by the Americans, and secured for evaluation. Hence “hold for Intell” 👍
what colours do i use to chip black models please ? I tried grey and it look messy as all hell.
Well... grey. Dark grey for the first layer of light chips, and then some dark brown/dark rust for the deep steel chips. If it's an aluminium vehicle, then just silver and you can skip the first light layer.
▲Hi Can you do a Gundam MG or HG RX-78-2 Model like an old Tank~Please~~~
How do you know I have Potato Chips, are you Psychic?
Is it me or do you have a new mic?
Same mic, I just stopped boosting the audio :)
Anyone counted how many 'AKA's in the video?
Eroe!❤❤🔝🔝
