HOW TO: Painting a Rusty Tank Exhaust

[@sr20ser.]

I've not touched a model in years, and have since given all my kit to my nephew, but I'll be damned if your channel hasn't sucked me in.

[@vasili1207]

Could always build them with him 👍

[@silverdragontm9548]

Never seen someone painting a exhaust like this, just the „normal“ way. Outstanding work on this one.

[@iodr5792]

This guy is amazing. And has a great sense of humor as well

I swear your finished projects come to life! Your attention to detail rivals painters like Ivan Aivazovsky.

[@Captain-Nostromo]

This is why modeling is the best hobby in the world, There is no limit what you can achieve 😊

[@j.s.connolly8579]

I LOVE how your painting technique makes the Exhaust look "Heavy" and made of metal... These techniques can easily be used on other things where "Heat" is a major or constant factor. Again VERY NICE Martin! I'm a HUGE FAN! :D

[@petermcclure4634]

A genius at work.

[@hendrikschultze9978]

Please do as much as possbile videos of exhausts and mufflers, showing the different techniques. I think as well that your comments and explanations is the videos have such a good result, they make me understand better and have some good laughs!

[@steveankin2682]

Martin. Always good to see your videos I wish they were longer. More videos on exhausts would be good sharing your knowledge & experience is priceless. Thank you & well done.

[@mossman45]

Your technique is genius. I'm not only learning from watching , but enjoying these videos as well.

[@lancebuttox9637]

Don't change anything, your videos are perfect

[@ortiz5922]

Definition of layering :D Yes, please, I would love to see how to weather other tank exhausts, specially hetzer's which are very iconic and eye catching

[@danrafferty4346]

Gotta say this. This channel is fantastic! Martin is a renowned modeller. He has written in several model magazines along side some of the best in the world and has a very successful youtube channel. Yet, he still takes the time to respond to questions from his subscribers. This goes a long way to me and I asume many others in this great hobby of ours. Keep up the great work, Martin.

[@NightShiftScaleModels]

Thanks a lot Dan.

[@andrewschanck3363]

Martin, that exhaust is exceptional! I keep thinking that you can't get better, but you keep outdoing yourself with amazing techniques! Plus, you're legit hilarious!

[@normanlong2191]

Great vid as usual , keep up the great work , the commentary is great the way it is and your humour is an added bonus cheers

[@reconmodelsvaughn469]

I would love to see more Videos on this topic but longer is better you have a incredible way of teaching people the hobby. Everyone give Martin a thumbs up he has worked very hard on the awesome videos. He helping the hobby so much

[@robertwesterfield3454]

I think you are the best model Painter videographer on KZbin I’m learning a lot getting ready to paint a one to one scale L6/40

[@jirhonarmstrong4107]

Talk more and make longer videos. More exhaust videos would be great. All of your techniques have been a huge help!

[@johnnycooper7019]

Very, very inspirational. I also enjoy the bloopers as it shows us mortals, we all make mistakes from time to time. Kind Regards Johnny

[@jeffmurphree2937]

Very nice! I model 1/48 scale trains, but your techniques apply equally well with them. Thank you for posting all of your videos!

[@randytaylor1258]

Beautiful effect. The mesh makes it more complicated. For the flaky rust effect on exposed mufflers, like a Pz. IV or M41 Waler Bulldog, I like to add baking soda to the base coat and then dry-brush with a lighter tone to pick up the rough baking soda texture. Cheers!

[@markstott6689]

More exhausted Nightshift is always welcome. Especially if it involves Tiger's of any variety. 😅

[@lesthiele4921]

A very excellent video, your talking was to the point and you done a great job of explaining what you were doing.

[@MAN394631]

hey Martin, thats the best exhaust i ever seen, i watched your video 3 times already to save all steps in my mind

[@jonfoisy1237]

Fantastic result Martin. Good tip on using the brown/grey base coat. I will try it out on my next exhaust system. The use of multiple media and techniques is crucial in getting a realistic look. You nailed it mate.

[@fortressdude1]

Great video man, the exhaust looks crazy good. I just got into scale modeling recently and your videos are really helpful. Also, I love the bloopers at the end.

[@scomike8030]

Fantastic. Keep them coming exactly as you've done this one. Theres no point in messing around with perfection. You're doing just fine. Thanks!!

[@vonsopas]

LOL it seems that watching you vids is becoming my way of closing up a Friday night! I am just realizing the great production values of your vids. Great choice of music , tone, lighting, format and lenght. Keep up the good work mate!

[@NightShiftScaleModels]

Thanks! Speaking of music, finding free music was getting really time consuming so I went the easy and lazy route and just picked one song that fits the style of my videos perfectly and just play it on loop in each video, very quietly of course.

[@robwalker5030]

Nice one Mr Kovac, a lot of work, but a nice end result 👍🏻

[@dantop1280]

Outstanding job! Love the bloopers too..... Thanks.

[@alienfrogmodeller5875]

I enjoy the way you present your videos, I have not had this much fun watching your videos and listening to you explain how to finish the project. I love your humour and now I need to get some armour models now...thank you.

[@gregbrowning5437]

Thank you so much, Martin! You demystify all the info found in books/magazines. Much appreciated :)

[@strike8665]

yet again another out standing video.

[@pierre-olivierjanelle3413]

WoW!!!!! Fantastic paint job.

[@dirtydan-OG]

I come back to model making after 10 years and these films will help me a lot. If in 1/10 they will look like models from movies, then they will be a success. We are in touch: D.

[@goldenghost2676]

Gosh man, I’ve learned so much from your videos, I think I’m a pretty good modeler, but you have showed me that I have so much to learn! And I’m so excited

[@RESlusher]

Awesome work, Martin! It's the little things like that that really make a model stand out!

[@jerryvolpini7987]

Great video, well explained! One of the more realistic rust finishes I've seen but, man, that was a LOT of work!

[@voodoonights1671]

Please do more. All of these are good for adding a technique to the arsenal for current or future projects.

[@nicolastousignant9160]

I'm down for anything you want to show us. I rather enjoy the running commentary so if it is a question of more video with less talking or less but with your explanations, I choose option 2.

[@Morbius0012]

I am not into moddeling, but your work is so impressive I had to subscribe.

[@wjsj69]

Your attention to detail and results are amazing, but it seems like real life use and nature's course would be faster and easier than the pains you take to recreate them!

[@philipbro3547]

It is the best video for painting a rusty exhaust I have seen. I would love to see you rust up a tiger exhaust

[@Mach1Greeble]

My dude, you are an artist. More please !

[@danielcooper5865]

Very interesting and clearly demonstrated technic. Thank you for sharing your wonderful videos. I find your videos extremely interesting and useful I'm going to try this colour technic out just this afternoon on my current build. THANKS!

[@amacmartins]

Very nice work. Been seing your videos and they are great. I really like that you talk.That way I can do other stuff and listen to your tutorial and watch whenever needed. Keep going!!

[@reconmodelsvaughn469]

Awesome video Martin it looks amazing

[@a.ward02]

[@Oleg-dp2fh]

Now I can select my own background music! Cool!:) Thanks for the video - very interesting.

[@BrailleScale]

Love it!! I'd love to see a big series on exhausts from you!!!

[@clawhammr666]

Top notch tutorial

[@Edormi]

I'd love a T-34 Olive green tank painted from A to Z with soft weathering , would be amazing, i'm learning so much watching your videos, trying to do the same effects with the paints i got on some tank bits to make tests, takes time and practice but your videos sure are very instructive! Keep up!

[@DeerHunter308]

Yes, please do some more of the other tank (and other vehicles) exhaust videos.

[@JJ-oi6ft]

I LOVE your channel, and your approach to models..............

[@edenfalconry6907]

Always want more videos and would love to see you interpretation of a Tiger exhaust..... don’t hold back with talking it’s the whole reason your videos and commentary are the best by far! 🤗

[@cjkirkland2334]

More exhaust videos would be great. Your narrative is always enjoyable! How bout some more battle damage tutorials? Keep up the great work!

[@donfrandsen7778]

Very nice result 👍 And yes, more rust videos 👍

[@Fred-Wilbury]

I know ...someone had to say it you must exhausted after this.... but as always sir very informative and a great job ...... regards Fred

[@ridhani1]

Nice video as always... Thanks a lot Mr. Martin :D

[@optimusWII]

I've never seen this technique before, but it turned out great! Also, I don't think you should talk less in the videos. I actually enjoy your videos more because you explain everything you're doing so well.

[@OlympusHeavyCavalry]

Interesting, it would be nice to see your approach in painting different exhausts. Cheers for the video bud :-)

[@sophiet6096]

You are so good the only details when finish tank model is the stickers that are included

[@JonBius]

Great video Martin! I'd love to see more rust videos. 😊

[@eracliolorenzon6055]

Excelente trabajo, e aprendido mucho con sus técnicas, gracias 👍👍👍👍

[@321CatDaddy]

Please do more exhaust painting videos. I have enjoyed this video and can’t wait to rust up my Panther G’s pipes.

[@jamiesworkshop3198]

This is really good!! I love your videos, you are so funny and you have a no-nonsense approach to everything. I will use this technique on my next exhaust.

[@jsidaho1957]

Thanks for the great tutorial, Martin!

[@steveopie2384]

the vote is in, yes to more exhaust vids, loved this one, totally different way of working excellent yet again :)

[@cygnusx10]

This is really coming along now; great finish on the exhaust. I know this is cut down to about 10mins for the vid, but i bet this must have taken a good few hours to complete. I'd like to see some specific exhaust painting/finishing vids, you could make them into an occasional miniseries type thing; perfect pipes.

[@NightShiftScaleModels]

Haha perfect pipes, love it!

[@joshuashikles9095]

awesome job as always and yes would love to see some more exhaust videos

[@simonwallace-tarry355]

Love your work, fantastic, thank you for sharing.

[@NoOneAlive_]

I got one question. Can I use a brush for this effect? Since airbrush is not an option cause it's super expensive in my country. Plus, I already bought every paint to make this lovely effect. Much appreciate!

[@TheHelado36]

Man you are an artist !

[@terry35ish]

Excellent work as usual Martin. Thanks for another great video.

[@johntakacs9441]

Wow! All that mesh, must have been "exhausting". Lol! Hey, I love your videos and have learned so much from them!

[@xNevikKx]

More videos! How about a little partial interior on the next kit? Thanks!

[@simonloxton4246]

Looks amazing.

[@timothyoffenbacher6190]

Yeah!!! Friday - Video Time. Gotta love Life Colour Rust paints - wouldn't use any other - highly recommended. Looks great how the tank base colour added to the exhaust ties it all together - nice touch. Do you ever use rust pigments?

[@NightShiftScaleModels]

Only when I add them to my enamel rust paints. And I only do that when I need to add more texture to the paint or when I'm afraid the paint would dry to a satin or glossy finish.

[@credoimperialis]

this is master work. Can you work in a video of how to do soil over the tank please?

[@danielbarath2649]

Tiger or Panther exhaust would be awesome !

[@exorbis9880]

YES Tiger exhausts please !

[@garyparker2969]

Awesome Tutorial Sir, Keep Doing it Your Way, I'm Learning With Every Video. Have a Blessed Wknd Brother.

[@JedenSiedemDwa]

One of Your greatest tutorial. Now I know how to do it correctly. ;) Thank You! ;)

[@johnstimitz2629]

I think videos on Panzer Mark III and Mark IV exhausts would be informative. This was another well done video.

[@michaelsudsysutherland5353]

Exhaustive video full of great tips!

[@loupiscanis9449]

Thank you ,Martin .

[@quantumplastic]

All your videos are very welcome! But if possible always with your narration, and Bloopers too ..... ;)

[@claytonmcclain182]

Nice work.

[@RollingThunderModels]

Today i learned something! Thank you Martin!

[@mikeames8339]

Okay, so this is what a real artist looks like weathering models. Beautiful work -- especially the "flatness" of the finishes. Is there any, any chance you would consider doing a proper metallic paint job on , say, a Eduard Mig? Thank you for your excellent (and well produced) videos!

[@NightShiftScaleModels]

I don't build airplanes, but I have a Mecha kit which I'd like to finish in weathered metallic jet-fighter style finish.

[@ChrisSmith-ec6qp]

Tiger exhaust would be great please. Make it a short video, or full length feature film, and yap all the way through if you want. I'm watching either way 😉

[@topherbec7578]

I don't build models, but I like your videos.

[@reefingaround4435]

Very nice, please make more exhaust vids.

[@Luka-ge1yi]

Ja na jako tanki kist stavim motorno ulje i premažem unutrašnjost auspuha da izgleda prirodnije svaka čast na trudu samo nastavi tako

[@reidarb4261]

Very informative and amazing work.

[@colbyspeaks4632]

I have been watching your videos and it is very helpful to weather parts on tanks. Wonder if you can make a video about different parts of tanks that get weather the most.

[@foorcscale]

Inspirational as always. Thank you.
