How To Make Your Tank Lived In! (Jagdpanther, Meng 1/35)

[@earltheartist3697]

Uncle night shift is a well of wisdom. always learning new things and making mistakes along the way. hope your leg has healed up nice and well!

[@NightShiftScaleModels]

Thank you! I can finally walk on my own, although a small crutch is often helpful. There's one more x-ray right before Christmas, and I hope it's gonna be the last one :)

[@windpeoples]

Agreed!

[@jacobakana5649]

The amount of texture on this model is fabulous! Rolled and cast steel, zimmerit, chipped paint, rust, and stowage. Amazing! I am excited to see the tankers and their puppy painted up soon!

[@cosminetron]

Reminds me when I was looking back to older videos searching something on rust or chipping or whatever, and stumbling upon one of the vids where you said you hated everything stowage, started laughing out like a maniac in the irony. How far we've went since.

[@NightShiftScaleModels]

Oh, the character development!! :D

[@SparkRattle]

Uncle Night Shift always kept me company in my own night shift. :) Working from home can sometimes be a drag especially without hearing Uncle Night Shift's chatter to keep me company.

[@jimaltergott9326]

Outstanding work Martin! I dream of making AFVs look like you do on a regular basis. Your models look like tanks as they do in the field; big, dirty and filthy! Thanks again for your channel and I look forward to seeing the figures and diorama come together, CHEEERS!!

[@NightShiftScaleModels]

Thank you! The diorama is going to be the biggest, most ambitious project so far! I'm currently building a house for it and it's MASSIVE :)

[@Brave_Sir_Robin]

@@NightShiftScaleModels hype!!!

[@certifiedidiot9625]

These videos are the reason that I love Fridays!

[@joaquimsommaferrari7298]

This is a legited work. I love the wooden box for the panzerfauzt!! And also the coper wire as the cables to atach foliage. I don’t now if this time you want to do a diorama with water, but i really recomend to you the AK resin water. Very easy to use and a great realistic look!!

[@NightShiftScaleModels]

Just bought the two component AK water for my next diorama! Not this one, but the one after. There's gonna be a LOT of water :)

[@stephenbridges2791]

Very nicely done. I guess I am more fortunate than most. When I am trying for that "lived in" look, I reflect back on my Marine Corps days. We had to keep things clean. Yes. But, no matter how good you were at that; there is always going to be evidence of human contact. In many ways, it is a very subtle effect. Sometimes, that subtlety make it difficult to replicate. Well done, sir.

[@SilvioCM]

My friends.... My friday is not complete without your video. You are awesome, so your work!

[@iwantmynametobeaslongaspos7194]

I love how I’m like “wow that looks great” and it just keeps getting better I hope one day I can even finish one model let alone do all this

[@daniellejones5981]

This Jagdpanther is Wunderbar! But you're breaking my heart... That wire strung all over tanks in Normandy was Copper Wire from Telephone Poles! Anealed Copper Wire is the perfect color. I've been building for 50 years and it was getting boring, but you've stoked the fire in me again!!! Thank You!

[@Gundumb_guy]

Geez This thing is insane. Idk how but these models just keep getting better and better!

[@Algebrodadio]

Night Shift is a freaking technician - all of the "how to" knowledge, all in one person's head.

[@jakeshobbysimulator2188]

Amazing work!! Your the best!

[@mikemodels928]

The amount of details u add is insane.

[@Asgar1205]

This looks absolutely amazing. I couldn't never do anything that looks anywhere near that good!

[@gruppenfuhrer45]

Martin your skills are absolutely incredible.

[@KayserEin]

Ah, so glad to find your latest video article. I really look forward to it, after work on Friday.

[@guusvanbroekhoven4067]

Ah yes, nothing better then nightshift while feeling sick. Very nice

[@Arno_L]

Great idea for the making of the water crosses on jerricans! It makes my day! Thank you

[@MacD1074]

Bravo. Great episode. The finishing touches really bring the model to life.

[@mark3863]

The details in this scale always blow my mind, truly amazing.

[@blackphantom99]

This has been an amazing build man, Thankyou for all your hard work and all the helpful tips/tricks. Loved all of it! Stay happy and healthy my friend. ☺️👍

[@5tmvgy4k]

It would be fun to see some coffee rings and perhaps a coffee mug near a top hatch. Crew often 'hung-out' seated just inside the hatches with a brew between legs of a journey. A well placed sandwich in paper wrap would be a unique addition too.

[@jaysontadlock1871]

I can’t wait to see you make a 3D printed tonka look just as this. I believe in you.

[@silverdragontm9548]

Well, cheers to you, too. What about the water canister put on an allied tank? Captured equipment? A cherry on the top for the most curios observers?

[@AceOfBlackjack]

Oh. That's actually good

[@jennydeath6844]

That effect for the zinc plated can is super useful. I've been looking for a easy way for that effect for a while

[@kallemon]

It would be amazing to see you work your magic on a Warhammer 40 000 tank!

[@mpetersen6]

No arguements about stowage, dirt, mud and dents and dings to sheet metal areas (fenders etc). But paint fading. Just how long were these vehicles in service anyway. Between being caught out on the roads, abandoned due to breakdowns or other reasons. One good idea for a small diorama might be a Panther or other piece of German armour getting its summer camo painted over white for winter

[@Serenityindailylife]

To add tone and depth, try ammo shaders, I just started using them and they add quite a bit to the depth of color, especially greens and tans.

[@nickbutler7935]

Great video. It's great to see the progression, also the trials and errors, We all make them. Keep up the super work, looking forward to the next installment. Cheers from the U.K.

[@mickeforsberg4238]

Amazing and awesome work on this tank and I'm happy to see how you do things and how you paint and weathering the object. 10/10 is a very good and I'm looking forward to your next project. Bravo!!!!!!

[@andrewschanck3363]

MARTIN!!!!!!!!!! Dude. Perfection. That is all.

[@ScottKenny1978]

I'm always amazed at how few metallic paints you use.

[@UnholyFrenzy_]

Amazing as always. Now I know what to do with some of the copper wire I've had on a small box for the past 7 years lol Also. It's really cool how you got over your stowage phobia and the results of it

[@NightShiftScaleModels]

Stowage opens up a whole new world of creativity, so it's an absolute win situation! :)

[@UnholyFrenzy_]

@@NightShiftScaleModels Definetly. I was thinking about adding a few 1/48 jerry cans to my Tiger 1. And also adding some zimmerit left overs, to make something like a veteran Tiger 1 early version that managed to survive until the late part of the war. The hybrid one you made got me really inspired. I only wish I had a bigger budget or a 3d printer to do other modifications, like adding mid-late production wheels lol

[@7Torin]

Best modeler on KZbin! Amazing job, thanks for your inspiration and hope that leg has healed!!!

[@matthayward7889]

Any day that starts “mah friends” is a good one 👌

[@amorpheus-_-3563]

Hi Martin! I’m watching your videos for some time now and a I must say - by far this is the best looking model you created. This may sound paradoxically, since all your models are super cool, but every next model appears cooler than previous, and you keep jumping over your head each time. I can’t even guess what we may see in your future projects. Good luck!)

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

Excellent work my friend ......................... 👍

[@deltic5514]

As usual outstanding work Martin

[@donaldhall8785]

Beautiful job! If you ever put figures with it may I recommend the Minimart after kits for drinks, food etc.

[@JohnMullerJDGCTRy]

Another great lesson from the Master. Thank you so very much for sharing your knowledge and posts.

[@warwickstephenson1613]

Beautiful sadly have not had much success with my models as of late my two latest builds had to be stripped due to the weathering going wrong.

[@benward5732]

Yeah the weekend starts with a visit from Unky Nightshift!

[@flyingscotsman9657]

loving how your doing more German classics! I hope your leg is alright now

[@BananaArmsMcNess]

I really enjoyed this video. Thank you for taking the time to share you techniques with us.

[@billyray94]

Some of your finest work... Well done!!!

[@benross5221]

Fridays are the best

[@Brave_Sir_Robin]

Ohhh now I see why you didn’t weather the stowage with the rest of the tank! Looks amazing!

[@francisthecooldownroad342]

Nr 516 that shays yes Thxs Night Shift. if you paint a wire like that, just use thin paper behind the wire.

[@davidhunter1975]

Hey night shift, I’m amazed at the attention to your super details your work is out of this world, I would love to see you build a British centurion 👍🏼

[@KKuruc80]

After you started to build this Jagdpanther there was a show in Hungary where I could buy a Dragon Panther ausf A. I really like this "soviet bathroom zimmerit" :D So...I started to search some references and I found some photos of a Normandy Panther where used chicken net to camouflage it.

[@Adam-ve5gg]

Which model would you recommend for first model, I have been wanting to get myself a tank model bud i don't know which one🤔

[@jacobs_models995]

Tamiya is always the safest bet. Usually lower priced, but still decent detail and great fit. Their M41 was my first armor, and for a while I only bought Tamiya

[@ScottKenny1978]

How much detail and/or how many parts do you want to deal with? And how small a scale are you willing to go? There's a lot of 1/72 scale models available, ranging from super detailed with individual track links to simplified models for wargamers.

[@philRminiatures]

Incredible details...and weathering job!👏

[@Astandane]

You must have been an alchemist in a past life, given how you transform these models ;) Would be interested to see you do a 40k tank one day.

[@captaintaxi6884]

It's Friday again, hello uncle Night Shift

[@glennvogt1194]

You never fail to amaze me. Great work as always. Just me but I would do the figures next since they are more part of the tank rather than the diorama.

[@timkilbourn5685]

Night Shift! Could you post a link to where you got that “octopus” holder thing.

[@NightShiftScaleModels]

The company is on Facebook, you can contact them through there :) The full name is Octopus M2M

Wonderful work Martin! I don't really have anything to say but here, take a comment for the algorithm.

[@rickysargulesh1053]

Just discovered your channel. Your models are insanely detailed and awesome to look at. Great stuff.

[@JesuitWorldOrder2]

The rounded-corner square part of the fire extinguisher should be the color the extinguisher, not the tank. It was a built in handle on the extinguisher, each half folds out towards the center to form a handle.

[@mikemee8002]

Love the blue Tarp!

[@jonholliday9056]

Uncle Night Shift you are the go to guy whenever I want to learn about a new technique, both inspiring and slightly dispiriting at the same time. My models don't even come close to yours but keep up the good work and one day I might be satisfied with what I have made. BTW where did you get your model stand shown in this video at 31 seconds in? I want one!

[@dubmeisterxd2133]

seeing all these weathering techniques makes me wonder, have you ever thought about doing a destroyed/burned tank?

[@NightShiftScaleModels]

That's coming to this channel very soon!

[@AceOfBlackjack]

@@NightShiftScaleModels yeeeessss

[@garyparker2969]

Super Work Sir, Glad To Hear Your Leg's Healing Well. God Bless All.

[@vehicularMCS]

I said this on the last video, but it was pretty late after posting. Hope this doesn't come across as spamming you, but I'd really love to see you do some smaller scale tanks. Especially gaming models like Flames of War or 40k Imperial Guard Leman Russ's. I think the Flames of War models are pretty light on detail, and I think it would be cool to see how you make them feel more real at that small of a scale.

[@NightShiftScaleModels]

I kinda lost passion for the small scale stuff although I built several of them not that long ago. The smallest scale I tackled lately was 1/48. I should probably resupply my stash of 1/72 kits :)

[@neilarvinalcantaramasangca3068]

can you do planting or putting a chia seeds to the tank for better camouflage..??

[@peterwest8151]

Maybe a cool idea for the tarps is to paint one with a german camo pattern just like a zeltbahn.

[@alexsmith1187]

Did you miss the cloth hanging and the commanders hatch ?

[@dietermuller8625]

This is a Masterpiece! And to be honest: The best Jagdpanther !🤩Greets from Germany 😀

[@InsufficientGravitas]

you could stick the water canister in the diorama somewhere.

Awe yeah. Best part of my friday

[@Panzermeister36]

You should have just put that wire in some blackening fluid to save you stress :P But, great work as always Martin!

The last things you'd ever want on your engine deck are a jerrycan of petrol and a crate of anti-tank weapons! "Here, Ivan! Please blow us up!"

[@ryanbruner8928]

This amazing model would have been flawless,if only you would have added a rusty bucket :D

[@TheRedruffian]

There should always be a rusty bucket, right? 🤭

[@NightShiftScaleModels]

It's not a german tank unless there's a bucket hanging on the back, therefore this one is trying very hard to look NOT like a german tank :D

[@lukedelport8231]

Looking really good mate keep it up

[@lioneldeltombe4765]

[@r0yal_0perat0r]

Hey I love your videos and I have a recommendation: Tamiya m4a3 75mm It comes with the tank itself and 4 figures I think you could make something beautiful out of it Many thanks!

[@engelbertstrauss2354]

Sensationell, besser geht‘s einfach nicht!!! 🤩👍🏼 🏆🥇

[@soupfork2105]

My only issue here is the 2 ammo boxes blocking the rear hatch, if I was in a war zone I'd want all hatches clear so I could et out as fast as humanly possible if we ever got hit.
