Full Rusty Weathering! Conqueror Mk. 2 (Dragon 1/35)

[@Panzermeister36]

You must be really enjoying the finishing techniques on this model. This tank subject is probably the epitome of your style -- heavy, gnarly, and rusty as hell!

[@Vmssupplies]

Ditto that my man!

[@endgovernmentextremism]

I'd like to see a diorama of a tank getting pulled out of a mudhole, if you think that would be fun. Lots of opportunity for heavy mud and water effects including super deep ruts, footprints, hand prints, filthy straps and chains, and the crew all doing unique tasks... Would be a ton of work but it's something you would excel at.

[@Incrediblebowlesmodels]

Trumpeter makes the wheeled wrecker and I thought about a diorama like that even with the m88 could have a m113 to pull out

[@Landsknecht25]

Advice for dealing with Oil paint; once you use the cardboard to absorb the 'excess' linseed oil move it to a non absorbant surface such as a plastic lid. When you need to stop between sessions cover the paint with a couple layers of 'Cling Wrap" and then move it into the fridge. The cold will severely slow the oxidation time as will the cling wrap, you should also put it into plastic 'Ziplock" style bag to prevent tainting any food stuffs. I have been doing this for decades with large art palettes and it even works with paint that has been mixed with alkyd drying agents. P.S Im no longer a modeler, but I do really enjoy the process; especially the dioramas.

[@cinnamonsparrowdesigns]

I stick paint brushes in bags in the fridge all the time when I don't want to wash them but know I need them again soon. It works great!

[@Modkits131]

We might as well start calling Nightshift, Uncle Rusty.

[@loupiscanis9449]

Thank you , Uncle Martin . 🐺

[@herrlogan17]

It's so relaxing and satisfying to see every new video. Tank looks amazing!

[@lollololushka6135]

Mah friendz! Best part of the week ;)

[@dogforeyals]

Grilled porkchops , garlic rice, veggies, pineapple juice. now it's time to watch!! oh yeah!!

[@thatotherguy7596]

Always a pleasure to watch and very inspirational even to those of us that aren't regular armor modelers. I use your techniques on a variety of different subjects. Thanks Uncle Night Shift 💕

[@MrAcecombatx]

Saturday morning, a cup of coffee and a new Video. Now im motivated to finish my BTR3! 💪

[@denniscliff2071]

Not just a model building hobby, this outcome is fine Art. Thank you.

[@davidcarr7436]

67 years on the planet, modeling for 57 and my stuff still looks like I pulled the kit out of the box, used an entire tube of Testor's plastic cement to assemble and forgo paint, cause it's molded in "olive drab". Ah well, if nothing else you are an inspiration and have a skill set others can strive for.

[@MikhailKrilov]

Wow, beautiful close up work. Just as I finish up a rusted out T34 wreck! The tank graveyard reference is pretty awesome. Great work as always, thanks for sharing!

[@rrl4245]

As always, love the narration, the techniques, and the product. Thanks

[@BiiskapsLV]

Night Shift video on friday evening is just perfect.

[@DidacBN]

One of your best jobs: you chose to finish before it looked too busy. Top notch tank. Congrats!

[@Vincent-gc8zd]

Fabulous my friend!😀 Certainly the weathering process is something straightforward and if I may say so gives an incredible realism so thankyou for the tuition 😀

[@valuedhumanoid6574]

I bow in the presence of the Master

[@georgetaylor5482]

Another great looking model.

[@PaveWayMA]

Martin, please, please could we have a Strv 122A with a small winter diorama next? It’s a really nice look and I would love to see it in your style.

[@lesthiele4921]

Another great tutorial from one of the great masters of this great hobby we are all in, best regards from Australia.

[@jacobakana5649]

The perfect way to end a week! I love the brighter rust on the inside of the tracks, it’s a nice detail to have for a wreck out in the range. Once again you have proven yourself to be a master of paint, great work, the reverse dry-brushing looks novel!

[@multipl3]

Best one yet!

[@jonL88]

Just in time for dinner! Amazing work again

[@devrolijkerodelaar2063]

Amazing work rusty color and airbrush effect for tank 1:24 scale model kit thanks for sharing

[@georgewilson5303]

As always I enjoy your videos. I am going to get my first air brush. Never used one. So I am trying to learn as much as I can from you. Thanks for the tutorials

[@YearsOfLeadPoisoning]

Love the expressionist look of this one. Amazing work!

[@treyzmodels422]

Sweet! Love the effects you are pulling off with this build👍 cheers Trey

[@stephanmotzek779]

Thank you so much .

[@begonanicolasgarcia3558]

Beautiful vídeo as usual.Thank you very much for your teachings.

[@ODGColornChrome]

Awesome work!

[@stephenbridges2791]

Very nice job on the rust. A lot of times you can revitalize old paints by adding a base to it. Flat or gloss or whatever. Usually, it only works one time; though. Then you have to chunk it. But it does help to get the very last use out of a favorite paint. I like that streaking winter grime you used.

[@endgovernmentextremism]

Oh, yes.

[@normanlong2191]

Just Awesome work !

[@ScottKenny1978]

I mostly paint figures, and prime white so that magical effects will properly glow when I put fluorescent paints on them. So I start with a dark wash over the primer, just to help show the shapes. And I may end up doing 2-3 more washes as I work on areas, just to keep the panel lines.

[@adamklosterman8960]

I'd love to see you do a 1:16 scale. See what you could/would do with the big details.

[@ScalerDan]

Great work! Time with the model is quality time. I prefer oils for dry-brushing because of the drying time on the brush...

[@fonesrphunny7242]

It's almost scary what weathering can do to your model. My first attempt at post-shading was on a Stryker, which is just green. Turned out great technically, but I mixed too much yellow into the highlight mix. Looked like very unhealthy pee. I gave it a dot-filter with yellow, light blue and medium green anyways, and it changed everything! My slightly-too-dark-green base color became much more vibrant and the pee-yellow turned back into an actual green. Now the color is almost spot on! I was expecting to repaint the thing, but a happy accident fixed it.

[@sprue_aviator1496]

Nice one uncle

[@Peteftm]

You’ve got a class relaxing voice mate , love it 👍

[@con_nz1362]

Very cool

[@aquariusboy5250]

I love rust 🤩 fantastic work 🙂

Keep up the great videos! Cheers from Hungary! ✌️😎

[@ModeliteDiorama]

Love it again!

[@ClarkesonTheMarksman]

Sick as usual

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

Enjoyed............................. 👍👍👍👍

[@disceva6443]

have you ever looked at some of the Forge World Resin kits? I think a malcador battle tank would be awsome in your style.

[@Da-Real-Gigachad]

Can you make and paint the tonk tank, i don’t think there are any kits for it but it is a small tanks with 4 main parts.

[@dbenci2071]

As usual, Nice!

[@utahjohnnymontana3373]

People with an overly critical eye who think it could be done better need to build their own and show us how its done. Personally, I could not do better...maybe even not as well, so I think it looks great.

[@cliffherring7006]

Again.... just brilliant. I will say, those enamels are shake and bake until you open a bottle and it's turned into a gummy mess.

[@tymianekpodbial]

If you choose the diorama to be this tank left somewhere, I think it would be cool to add some small animals living inside it now

[@negotiableaffections]

A tragic scene (dead bodies optional) including a completely destroyed tank would be a dark theme (suitable as a halloween piece) that would be thrilling to see you build. It probably sounds horrific but it would be sadly VERY authentic. Just an idea, Martin.

[@Myke...]

Really like to see you do a 40k warhammer vehicle project with your realistic paint jobs. It might inspire that hobby to go more grim dark in painting :P

[@Slaave]

Can you look into the paint brand “dirty down” they have a super unique water based rust effect I think you’d LOVE

[@The_Modeling_Underdog]

If that setting is going to involve a building for this hulking barge, I believe you need to add the two Davids from the Tank Museum, Martin. Both Mr. Fletcher and Mr. Willey. David Fletcher will give it a scathing review and David Willey will ponder on the reasons for actually having such an armored behemoth in your collection. 😂 Cheers.

[@noelmorris5807]

nice work

[@onuq3r4y478]

eyyyy a building? hype!

[@kiwiruna9077]

Since house renovations are the same as finishing/reusing a shelf queen and you have 3 days, can we have a bonus weekly video on the house renos', I'm sure they will be interesting.

[@ObviousSchism]

In rust we trust

[@TheScreamofdeath]

WOW!!!

[@francisthecooldownroad342]

Zen Master in the good stuff

[@JedenSiedemDwa]

Nice done! All the best for You! ;)

[@LostJasonR]

Mr. Nightshift, please tell me your latest way of doing your final shots? The way the model rotates with no distractions and how perfect the entire background is the same is really superb!

[@CharlieNoodles]

If the tank has been towed onto a range then the dust and dirt will be from hits and misses raining dirt and debris down on the tank.

[@tankbuilder9618]

Unfortunety I'm at school so I can't watch untill later :( I'm still early though :)

[@Gundumb_guy]

Idk what your doing with your oil paints but I have a pallet that’s literally 3 1/2 weeks old! All it needs is a couple drops of thinner, and a couple pokes with a tooth pick. The key is to store them in the freezer FYI

[@Baryonyx_Walkeri_62]

I like the look of it, but... I'm not trying to be a party pooper, but if it is supposed to be a range target, where are all the shot holes?

[@XxBloggs]

I’d really like to see you do something really out there for you… like a Wingnut Wings biplane with diorama.

[@In35scale]

good afternoon, tell me what kind of paint you use from 3:40 for the dry brush method. Thanks)

[@МихаилИванов-г7л]

Спасибо за видео) Весьма интересно!

[@jaanikaapa6925]

Missing thing: an old, empty bird's nest. :) Looks good to me. Oh, how's the weathering going in your house? ;) Good rust effects?

[@cinnamonsparrowdesigns]

Haha for real...he makes all these crusty models but will have a nice shiny remodel lol

[@hanssmidt12]

Wow where we are, i havent watched night shift 3 months

[@garyparker2969]

Bummer 😞😞

[@murmaider2]

This style model would really benefit from some oil drip stains around the axles of the wheels where seals have failed and grease/oil have spilled out

[@Minedeployder]

Hi Uncle Night, any tutorials\tips\URLs\etc how to make bolts for tanks like KV-1E(Э), that holding addtitional armor

[@kallemon]

It would be awesome to see you do your thing with a tank from Warhammer 40k!

[@johanblume2621]

Are kit tracks now just as good as aftermarket track links?

[@nadrazakcz7858]

Hi Martin, another excellent build, thanks for sharing. Do you plan some kind of burned out vehicle? I really would like to see it from you (got myself an unfinished shelf queen of a TAM Tiger, started more than 15 years ago - waiting to be stripped down of color and finished in some reasonable way; so I guess this will be my first knocked-out build)...

[@hirstyboy97]

Hi Martin ,I hope you are well, I continue to be watching your modelling videos as I take a lot of your skills ( obviously not anyway near as good as you 😔) to my builds, so my question to you today is will you be building the new takom 1/16 Sherman tank 🤔I have mentioned on many reviews of the kit that I wonder if Martin at night shift will be having a go as like everyone has said it would be a great build and paint video , I do hope you will have a look at doing it sometime in the future…any ways I will let you ponder on that ‘ ma friend’ take care and happy modelling 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@tetronaut88]

Tanks for the awesome video Uncle Night Shift! Also, do you recommend Tamiya models? I am on a relatively low budget, and noticed they have a cool Challenger 2 desert model. This would become my second model, after an aircraft from Revell. Any tips?

[@BZimny]

Hey there, last time i was wa watching Yours video from long time ago, and i was wondering "what happend with - no chipping challenge? -? :) maybe leopard Without chipping, or a diorama when Tiger one of the first one go out from straight from factory,? You are doing wery nice job out there, wish to have teacher like You years ago :) Waitng for replay :)

[@zbigniew1648]

You were building a steam locomotive or railroad cars ?????

[@smokayman]

*Muh* frenz

[@karlkarl93]

Has night shift had a chance to try dirty down rust paint?

[@54tisfaction]

If my work looked as amazing as that after just seven days, I would quit my job and start my own channel!!!

Would you consider building an IS-3 in the future? Always liked it ,apparently it scared the crap out of western military leaders when the Soviets put them in the Berlin 1945 victory parade.

Hey, love your videos, maybe you would consider making a partially destroyed T72 with a turret which had been blown off? I mean in honor of Ukraine, that would be very coool of you
