HOW TO Paint RUBBER! (Tracks Or Wheels) - Soviet Ball Tank "Sharotank" (Miniart 1/35)

[@NightShiftScaleModels]

I think it's very refreshing when you're building just one type of models (tanks in my case) and from time to time you build a model that has something DIFFERENT, which, in this case, was the huge rubber track. It somewhat breaks the routine and keeps the hobby more interesting and somewhat challenging, as you have to figure out how to make/paint/weather something different. What do you think mates? Fun or not fun?

[@vyacheslavsimonov2077]

Very useful! Regards! Present for your tire references piggy-bank: streetartinstitute.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/zhek2.jpg

That's some next level nightmare fuel!

[@michaljurzysta]

Fun and informative! Thank you!

[@NightShiftScaleModels]

Thank YOU!

[@SmallSoldier]

Yep, another insightful tutorial. I've never seen rubber done that way but it sure is effective.

[@Duececoupe]

Stumbled across, watched, liked and subscribed....👍🏻👌🏻👏🏻

[@zer0bre]

The same thing happened to me today. The guy is so charismatic and the tutorials are nice and easy. Though I'm more into armor model kits, with legs (Gundam), these videos will be a huge help!

[@dsadberry]

You just held a clinic! Great work.

[@ChristianMcAngus]

The amount of work you've put into this model is just incredible! But by using so many techniques, this one model can serve as a reference to show how to do them. Most of the tricks you've used here wouldn't even have occurred to me.

[@zhiga4life]

amazing quality of work and attention to the details and paintings, well done!!!

[@NightShiftScaleModels]

Thanks Pavel!!!

[@ScratchBashing]

Great final effect!

[@justinhealey2408]

You and your work a huge inspiration, and that is an understatement

[@brandonb1681]

Your videos are very informative and even better than that they are entertaining. TY.

[@Phickic]

The texture in your models is just to good man

[@ievgentaranskyi1373]

Absolutely Amazing!

[@allanatwick1606]

Turned out fantastic, looks real to me and a good tutorial, thank you for sharing, it's very helpful

[@ETmax3892]

I'm always surprised by the quality of your work. Thanks to you I can improve myself with my models.

[@AdamMann3D]

Lovely work sir. i can see why Adam and Carlos speak so highly of your work.

[@NightShiftScaleModels]

Thank you Adam. Yes, me, Carlos and Adam know everything about my weathering thought processes :)

[@ДикийМаугли-ж5щ]

Are you thinning Heavy Chipping or pouring it straight from a can into an airbrush? Excuse my English, I hope you understand the question.

[@tomatoes3]

Hi, don't think you need to thin the fluid .

[@jasonyeag]

are you telling me the one time a model tank didn't include rubber tracks was when the tracks were SUPPOSED TO BE RUBBER?

[@axelusul]

Yep, a construction vehicle or rubber tracks on a mini digger is a good guide.

[@NightShiftScaleModels]

Oh my, I totally didn't think about those!!! So silly of me, if I did some more googling the result could've been more interesting. Very good suggestion, hopefully I'll be able to paint something similar in the future again.

[@axelusul]

@@NightShiftScaleModels No worries, plenty of spalling, cuts and chunks missing and fading of exposed areas as rubber "ages".

[@lordofthestings]

Thank you for the video. I'm trying to figure out how to paint vinyl tires on a model. It seems like you would have referenced tires actually being used opposed to discarded, old tires. Unless you're depicting a vehicle that's been setting a long time.

[@brucethemodelnoob]

Amazing effect! Now I just need to do it 32 times on my Pz. IV.

[@NightShiftScaleModels]

Oooooh no no no, such an involved process would be a literal waste of time on such small surface! Just paint them dark grey, the upcoming earth effects will do the trick just fine :)

[@brucethemodelnoob]

Night Shift no I definitely wouldn’t follow the whole process... but I can do a couple of the steps. Maybe paint them grey, a bit of lighter grey highlight around the edge, then a black wash?

[@NightShiftScaleModels]

I mean, you can try it! But I personally never do anything beside a simple dark grey coat on those types of wheels. As soon as you lay down the first dust effect it will create a nice mottled surface and act as a wash around torn out chunks of rubber and details (like Continental logos on Pz IV wheels).

[@LuisSanchez-fm4bu]

Awesome job!!!!!!

[@graemebrumfitt6668]

Nice techniques Dude. TFS, G :)

Any suggestions to paint on rubber squeaky toy so that it doesn’t chip or crack?

[@florianw.9545]

Doesn't that black washing dilute/remove all the previous oil paint work, maay friiend?

[@johnmcgee7171]

Your use and understanding of color most impressive. Do you have a fine art backgroud?

[@valter14725]

What did you use to make the rubber armour on the jackson?

[@owdpotter]

what is the spray on chipping medium you use ??

[@loupiscanis9449]

Thank you

[@Daaab89]

May I ask what did you use as a black wash (if you remember :) ) ? Yours seems to be working more like a filter, toning everything down and it fits nicely with paint layers. I've tried Oil + thinner and Tamiya black panel liner, and both doesn't seems to be working even remotely like on your video in 9:10

[@kiwinesss]

I am pretty sure he uses the Wilder black oils, which he showed earlier in the video, and ample thinners.

[@Daaab89]

@@kiwinesss Thanks for the reply. So I've messed up my first attempt with the wash... Wilder products seems to be very hard to get for me. I will try with very thin nuln oil wash from games workshop

[@kiwinesss]

@@Daaab89 Wilder went out of business quite a while back so being able to get any products is like getting hen's teeth. Try mixing your own washes with oils, you can get a pretty good mix with some trial and error.

What’s the white stuff you airbrushes onto the rubber?

[@vasili1207]

Smashed it mate just gutted it's all over 😉. roll on the next one pardon the pun 👍

[@NightShiftScaleModels]

Thanks mate! Haha that's just how I do things I guess :D

[@Eule153]

Oh you did it

[@MattsHobbyWorkshop]

Hi mate! Love your tutorials. I was wondering, do you do a clear coat in between your acrylic steps and enamel steps? I'm quite new to using enamels for weathering and I worry the thinners will scrub the surface clean of acrylics. Keep up the great work!

[@GiftofChaosStudio]

You shouldn't need to. Mineral spirits won't attack the acrylic paint. If you're using chipping fluid or hairspray, I'd recommend it to protect the base coat since the fluid works by being dissolved with water

[@lafox2833]

I'm curious how its supposed to turn

[@foreignfoamer3592]

[@johanneskaufmann1593]

Why is there a weld beed between the hull and the rubber tyre?

[@ScottKenny1978]

That's between the hull and the mounts for the rollers on that rubber band.

[@randomuser2461]

why not find actual rubber to put in the paint for pigment and surfacing. Or whatever the tank wheel should be made out of.

[@bugrat8360]

what is "chipping fluid?"

[@ievgentaranskyi1373]

We need to find out what chipping is, and chipping fluid will be for that process))) I have no idea too by the way

[@vladalexander7489]

Basically, chipping fluid is a fluid that replicates chipping in model kits. Now you might ask what is then chipping, it's when you have an old wall or door or anything and the paint comes off, exposing the metal or wood or whatever it's made of. In model kits, you apply chipping fluid ( just like in the video) on the base coat of a part. For example, you would paint a part metallic, add chipping fluid, add the camouflage or paint, and then scrape it away. That way you still have some part of camouflage, but it looks worn out and old. Hope that helps!))

Could you show us by letters shown on this vedio which colors you use?

[@NightShiftScaleModels]

Hey mate, most of the colors used are shown and described in the video. The base color for the track is mixed using light grey from Lifecolor and darker version of 6K from Lifecolor, which I mixed in the video "painting the soviet ball tank sharotank"
