- My friends, while building a car model might not be the most exciting task for an armor modeler, it sure is a blast to paint it and add all sorts of weathering effects!

Anyone else finding uncle night shift’s models increasingly cell-shaded looking? Like something out of the Borderlands series?
Yes!, I think It looks perfect.But now that you say it,it’s similar to Borderlands
You are not wrong 😀😀
Yes he also refers to his style as being “stylized” recently. He’s settling into his own signature style which is really cool, even if it’s not strictly realistic.
I think it was since his WW1 trench diorama that he started changing his style up.
Stuff looks ultra-realistic and vibrant. Whereas real life is kinda dull.
I think it’s good. Lots of models from different modellers can look exactly the same because they just go for a strictly realistic look. Having a signature style which looks better than real life is cool.
The way he textures the base colours, the way he pin washes, the way he paints cloth and leather and wood, are all really unique and look like they’re out of a comic, even though it still looks realistic.
@@Chevsilverado Let's agree, with his skills, he can do whatever style he wants 😀
For sure. Right at the beginning, with the black outline being done, it definitely brought that to mind.
It's always a treat when you get a Nightshift Upload!
Even after following you for a long time i am still impressed off what your models look like in the end.
I like how that weathering really transforms the model.
the shots of you rotating the model in your hand are surreal; the shading "pops" like cel-shaded animation.
Cool model!
It's like magic. Wonderfull!!! I've learned a lot! Thanks.
That is honestly really nice. Maybe try a kubelwaggen?
You’re amazing. Thank you!
Producing stunning results as always.
I was about to say the tarp that was on the seat looked like a T-shirt and that made me realise... you have never put clothes on their own as part of the storage... maybe it could be worth it to make the vehicle look more lived in? I dunno, perhaps some clothes drying on the engine deck, soaked in mud because Hans forgot to take them inside or just torn appart
This would be great for a Toyota war diorama
Should add this to a t55 up armored model and do a diorama
Please please please do more technicals or at least more car dioramas/4x4 Dios!! This looks wonderful!
You should make a sturmtiger
As a car modeler, I wish these companies would release these type of models in 1/24 or 1/25 scale. I think there's a huge market left untapped for armor and light military vehicles in those scales.
Great paint job Martin. I'm interested in getting one of these kits after someone releases a resin wheel set for it. IMHO tires look very toyish, like the old MIG Hilux.
Can you check out the Tamiya 1/48 Challenger II desert version?
"Nice Cragslist vibe" So it's high mileage, has a questionable title, and is overpriced? lol
Another incredible build.
Dont know what are you planning for the diorama but i think it needs to be covered in more shit. In dry enviroments you generally get fine dust everywhere and its the same story with mud in wet
One question, once finished did you give it any protection/varnish? which, thanks
Hello from France. As usual it's an amazing work. Which size of paintbrush do you use for painting chipping and wood ?
Looks like a 5/0 or so, but use the biggest brush you have with a fine point.
Bigger brushes hold more paint and it won't dry out as fast.
Oil numbers, please tell me. 🙏
What's the best way to send you a direct message I am not a patron
Awesome job I know this is off-topic but I watched your jaddtiger video and I’m trying to build it and paint it the same way you did. What color would you use to paint the interior of these tanks ?even though there’s no details I like to paint the interior. The ivory color using Tamiya paints
I don’t think you could put enough rust on your model to be realistic because those land cruisers rusted bad
Far cry 2 ... vibe
Well.. again you painted a tank.. sad, because you losed a great chance to do something different. Your references showed amazing chips, colors and contrasts, but you ignored all that and only created another bored video how always in your own confort zone. Maybe is time you try with a aircraft.
Hey Nightshift, have you ever considered doing a model plane? I would love to see you weather one of those.
I already asked him,he said no!!
Combined with a Challenger or a Bradley with infantry looking around it or searching it would make an awesome, yet large diorama. Awesome model!
Wow ! What a model ! It's terrific and It's always a pleasure to see your videos and your masterpieces ! Carry on ma friends !😉
You make this look so easy and the end result is always flawless. Amazing job!
I agree!
100% and his technich is flawless, i applied what i could learn from his videos in my latest build and the results improved by a loooooot
@@mauriciokenway9922 So true
@@mauriciokenway9922 Exactly!
How about a Soviet era Hind Mi-24 crashed in the Afghanistan desert? Lots of opportunity for battle damage and diorama. Your attention to detail is exquisite. Thank you for sharing your art!
I hear you saying your models should be life-like and you often use a real life photo to copy, but your stowage on this and your tanks make them look like toys. In scale, you wood grain is finger width....not great.
Will this be added into a Toyota Wars diorama?
I was wondering why I didn't like the seats then I realized the seats didn't have tears and cushion parts visible
I would love to have your steady hands. I'm in the middle of an Africa scene that includes a camel and rider. Wish me luck figuring out how to paint and detail it.
I would love to see you make a post apocalyptic war diorama with like dead bodies or skeletons old rotting husk of destroyed tanks with destroyed building
really neat. i had a 65 cruiser. you missed the actual locations of true damage. the rear corners would be a mess, rust and crumples . front fenders on outer corners as well. the rear quarter panels behind the rear wheels and at the bottom of the front fenders. would be looking holey too... your paint work as usual, is beauty sir.nice work.
I owned a Toyota Land Cruiser, it was an absolute rust bucket, you nailed it.
I'd say there's a big difference between paint chipped off from vehicles abandoned somewhere, where large sections start rusting through and consistent weathering, you'll get big sections entirely flake. But in my experience, rust patterns from wear and tear are quite different. They happen in very small areas around spots where they body (and protective paint) would get damaged or worn frequently, or in corners where water settles in and doesn't get cleaned off with normal use. Just sitting in a field somewhere, the rust will start in more sun and water exposed areas where water pools and sun destroys the paint, and you get the large chunks.
So the pattern of rust tells a bit of a story on the life of the vehicle. Was it abandoned? Was it just used hard and not taken care of? Or was it mostly well cared for, but has a little bit around solid dents. You see this on real, cared for military vehicles. Especially those in salty environments.
Another idea, (Which I've done) it have resprayed panels. as if whoever owned it tried to hide some of the rust with an off-colored shade of blue
The tarps on the rear looked great, and I agree, the rust on top of the blue is a pleasing combination. Nice work!
Always used Kleenex for tarpage. Rolled or folded , then tied and painted with thinned colours so it soaks in quickly. Looks very canvas
Make an SAS jeep from Africa during WW2!
I made a bright pink colored Jeep and LandRover like the SAS, but everyone mistakes them for "MadMax" models
Oils came out great! I use oils and use a hairdryer to dry it. Works great!
Man that’s awesome! Have you thought about doing an SAS jeep or LRDG truck? Really enjoy watching your videos 👍
Great vid, very well done! 👍🍻
It's so crazy, I'm literally 2 hours away from Michigan toy soldiers headquarters. I'm definitely going to have to order some stuff
Hey, can you make a burned T-72B3? I want to do it by myself, but I don't have enough skill (I never did it before).
Nice job. Everything looks great, maybe with the exception of the stowage. Your treatment is too stark. Looks cartoony compared to the rest of the model. If you look at stowage / tarps etc in real life, they never look like that. It is much more subtle. Never anything near the exceedingly 'dark' shadowy look you have given.
Seems to me like the only part "alive" in this one are the front lights. I guess that's because all the other surfaces have no specularity whatsoever. Everything seems to be matte and while I understand that it's a dusty technical, even in well used and rusty cars you still see some specular highlights and light reflectins from the paint where it's polished precisely because of use (e.g. steering wheel and edges of faux leather seats). I'd say it looks like straight out of Borderlands game. While this kind of painting is perfectly fine for armor, I think giving it maybe some areas of gloss varnish could help a lot. Still, your familiarity with color theory and grasp of artistry is impeccable and the model is as usual (and despite some minor flaws) beautiful.
I get so angry when I see someone's paint behave properly. I have two choices for paint consistency: Drywall mud, or colored water. There is no happy medium. I add the slightest bit of thinner to my mud, and it's clear and runny. I hate seeing paint brushes that load properly and can be used for long periods of time. When using mud, my brushes are good for two or three strokes before they're dry. When using colored water, the entire contents of the brush shoot out all over the model the instant the tip of the brush touches it. I have waged a thirty year war against my paints and brushes to get the results I do, and I'm quite sock of it.
Suggestion for a new build: 1/72 German Railway Gun Leopold :)
Can I just say this thing looks like it would be fun to thrash around? Like if it was a full size Land Cruiser. I feel like it’d be a good time on four wheels, thrashing it around without caring about bodywork damage
Wow, could you paint my car like that, might need bigger paint cans though... 😁
Hey muh friend can you please tell me what brush you are using for the chipping(brand and number ) thank you. 😁
Huge…one of those 1/16th tanks that are becoming popular…??
Oil paints can be dried faster using VMS products.
So beautiful👍👍👍👍
4:45 I mean, look at the Guld racing colours on the old GT40s.
DShK are cool but KPV are absolutly amazing
8:40 The moment when Jackson Pollock both makes sense and continues to be less interesting and authentic than the discarded consumables of other painters.
storage part looks a little too cartoony for me (my opinion). the scenery would be awsome if u would put 2 guys sitting and drinking coffe near destroyed building, and some kind of misile flying from the sky :) (some kind of desert)
It’s got a very ‘ lit by moonlight’ feel. One of those huge , desert moons?
came out great would look awesome also with some spent cartridges in the back
I'm still learning how everything works and why you do certain stuff, but after that pinwashing, it makes it look "outlined" like something out of Borderlands or something. I know this probably makes obvious sense, but its how my brain made sense of it xD Looks very cool
Very nice job. Truck looks great
You could also try fast dry thinners from Abteilung to speed up the drying process.
Love that classic rusty blue paint vibe. Nice work with the stowage as well. I enjoy oil paints because they are more my speed (haha very slow!) they also have a pretty good ability to go from 0-100% opacity since as you mentioned they are not premixed. In some of the areas, it looked like you applied the oils with very little thinner at all. I find that dramatically increases the drying time and it is very rare for me to apply "full opacity" oils at all. I will usually mix in a good bit of thinner and work up the effects from very thin to slightly thicker. It is also much easier for me to wet blend with oils as they are workable for much longer- but I really do like your tip on speckling as that is one of my favorite methods. Recently, I have been watching Rick Lawler use weathering pencils with oils and he can do some pretty interesting effects simultaneously as the mediums do not interact with each other at all. Take care, my friend! I am looking forward to the BIG project
Great video and can make miniart panzer 3 ausf d/b
Marten, Russian/Soviet cartridge cases are not brass. They are lacquered steel. A brown color with a sort of green hue. They have been using it since at least WWII. The actual projectile is usually a brass- or copper- covered steel core.
Great video tho.
IIRC, Chinese ammo is brass cased.
Love your vids!
I don't need to go down the enamel pinwash and weathering rabbithole.
I DON'T need to go down the enamel pinwash and weathering rabbithole.
I resisted the siren call of airbrushing, I can resist ena- ... Huh, where did this bottle of white spirits come from?
It's to clean your brush after the MR Hobby lacquer paints!
Does anyone know what machine gun is mounted on the car?
Ich liebe deine Arbeit
Könnten Sie auch ein Fabrik Diorama bauen
Grüße
Great job
🔵🔵🔵👍👍👍🙂🙂🙂🔵🔵🔵
A small light blue rusty and dusty car model, where have I’ve seen that before 😄😉 Awesome paint job Martin! Really like the contrasts you use, they look ‘comic book’ style alike and I mean that as a big compliment. The tarps are great too. Thank you for being an inspiration! 👍
May be it needs an black ops crew?
Bellisimo querido amigo
How did you remove the enamel wash? clean brush or with a damp brush? this was beautiful to see thanks for the vid, I'm getting into miniature painting and this was easy to understand and appreciate
You'd need to use a damp brush. Usually, enamels go dry to the touch relatively quickly, so you need some enamel thinner to reactivate them for blending.
Damp brush.
What gol paint did you use for the machine gun bullets?
Should be brass on the cases and copper bullets. And a dark steel belt.
Sometimes a change in direction is good for future motivation 🙂 A very nice piece of work again.
Thank you , Uncle Martin .
🐺
Pls, I really want to see a Mad Max themed tank or technical in the future. Thank you.
Looks incredible
Nice work maestro!
Like your vid bruv!
Happy Friday everybody! Thanks for the great video Uncle Nightshift!
the Iran iradicator
Have you ever considered, kit-bashing a sci fi spaceship? Or steam-cyber-puck? I would love to see your take on something like that.
please do more cars!
Farcry 2 diorama ? XD
I actually fought in one of these vehicles while serving in Afghanistan and appreciate the details you included in this model. I would suggest adding more wear on the machine gun especially around the heat sinks (ridges around he barrel) as they get a ton of rub while just from everyday wear. Otherwise very beautiful model and one of my favorite video series.
Taliban special!
Most impressive technique...Truly superb!
The earth weathering with oils looks so great, way smoother than enamels to me. Too bad there is the bad point with dry times🤨
Just found you’re channel and now binge watching all of you’re videos. One thing i noticed, its not always clear when you use a clear coat and if its matt/gloss etc.
Could you explain when you use them and how you decide what type to use?
Wow it look good
Awesome 👍🏼
Ok, I’ll subscribe. Great work on this model.
Bloody lovely
