this is clearly cgi he isnt bleeding all over the model after using a exacto blade

[@orbitalair2103]

A pro! be careful, cut away from your finger.

[@Uli_Krosse]

I had this thought numerous times while watching his videos. Glad I am not alone in this observation. Uncle Nighty has the hands of a neuro surgeon!

[@jesterblood7165]

Haha. I'm like dude you are making too many opportunities to bleed. If that was me when he was removing the track mounts...

[@Colerm366]

Wound up cutting into my thumb (through the nail) after it jumped during some part clean-up.... luckily it was a newer blade, so it didn’t hurt much.

Real blood is s-tier weathering

[@jargobordine7254]

I’m glad you’re getting back to this. The zimmerit is easily the most interesting looking texture.

[@evanroberts2771]

The problem though, as with ALL weathering/effects aftermarket stuff, is that it's TOO exaggerated. If the zimmerit applied was scaled up, it'd be inches think. If one looks at a photo, you don't see anywhere near the detail that's added to models.

[@highdarktemplar]

I think I'm gonna make a few of those tools, best modeling channel ever !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@robbienauffts4021]

Currently building the RFM Sturmtiger which looks like it shares a lot of tooling as their Tiger. The rear hull deck needed a lot of work to sit flush. And the fighting compartment roof doesn’t want to sit flush either. Then, to top it off, the interior is missing seats and won’t sit flush if the shells are in place. Finally gave in and closed it up.

[@chriswobcke7271]

Great video. Thanks Learned a lot about weld marks. Thanks for showing how to make the tools as well. Cheers

I've made your tools there great for putty and filler to soft for sprue welds after heating the metal up they just bend so made a couple that weren't heated for that type so cheers for the tips

[@garijarmany465]

Mate your videos are a great inspiration, your attention to detail is exemplary. I'm always curious about the logic behind the dislikes on a video. Your skill is very high, the information is of a high standard, the editing and filming is good. I can understand that someone perhaps does nott agree with a technique or some such, but to dislike the video? I don't get it. Anyways well played on more excellent content.

The original real life welding /filler rods must have been the size of a telephone pole . I've always been amazed at the width of tank welds . Just massive .

Come for the refurbishing- stay for the Maya 😍 haha but seriously! I love seeing you put out a video per week. For me- it doesn't even have to be a video showing major progress or any one specific guide/how to. I wouldn't even mind seeing a "boring" video of how your bench is set up and how you got in to the hobby however many years ago- ...or maybe I will just have to upgrade my Patreon membership for such a thing 🤔

[@franciscoperezalconchel8869]

Like before viewing! Greetings from Spain!

[@mistrimeat]

Tamiya makes a product called “liquid surface primer” that works well for the cast/rolled steel texture. Works just like mixing putty with glue, only it’s ready right out of the jar. Cleans up with lacquer thinner.

[@umranaliklc2236]

That was really interesting to watch

[@Dontwlookatthis]

I think the fender skirt attachments are called Weldments and Tiger Model Designs makes them, selling bags of 50. And when looking for very accurate German machine guns for tanks and infantry, find the best at K59. Hey, I enjoy your humor, as well as the information!

[@AdamMann3D]

I studied the welds on Tiger extensively during my 3d project. You did a pretty accurate job. You had more flame cut marks than i went for. I just never found them that noticeable.

[@NightShiftScaleModels]

a lot of them are actually quite subtle, they won't be as noticeable under the paint layer (even though it wasn't my intention lol)

[@ruslankudriachenko5673]

@@NightShiftScaleModels all the pictures I found on the internet shows that the part on the front near drivesprockeet are machined as well. The pictures has bad quality so I can't tell for sure :( How do you find info like that?

Thumbs up here for Maya! 👍👍🇦🇺

[@rockstrongo831]

Hello Uncle Nighshift, im actually building my Tiger 1. As i try to make the steel texture without your suggested method (in lack of suggested materials) i have tried something. I bought a very cheap set of different acrylic effect pastes and one of this is so called Strukturpaste (structure paste in english?) you can mix it with some (also cheap) acrylic paint if you want to have it coloured. When you have mixed it you get some pastry colour which you can then stipple it on all the surfaces you want with some stiffer brush. It sticks very well to the plastic and there seems no need to prime this surfaces. It dries dull and looks in my opinion very good. Also the benefit of no chemical use is needed and you can clean your brush with water, makes it for me to a top possibility. Maybe you can give it a try. Additionaly i want to mention that the structure paint is white and the colour i have added was also an acrylic paste. So you want to have a thick color. best regards Rock

OMG, I used squadron green putty on a Jagpanther 20 years ago, and yeah it was melted onto the plastic, but luckily laquer thinner will slowly remove the squadron putty. I just need to rebuild and repaint it, and add a lot of details.

boy I am really looking forward to seeing this one finished! It would be amazing to see you tackle an abandoned tank too. Not like the Chi-Ri, actually messed up and covered in rust. Parts corroded and all

[@NightShiftScaleModels]

I want to make a corroded LVT-1 from Pacific 😁

[@CetoFreakingKaiba]

@@NightShiftScaleModels seems great minds think alike. I also have one of those left for over 10 years. A crappy revell (probably italeri reboxed kit) with some fruil tracks I messed up back then. I would love to see how you would deal with the fenders on that thing. I have been cracking my head to find out how I could replicate them with copper sheet

[@NightShiftScaleModels]

@@CetoFreakingKaiba yeah I have the original Italeri kit, also Friuls but also some Eduard photoetch 😄 The fenders are really tough since they have those hollow braces on top, I think I'll just remove as much plastic as possible from the bottom and punch through it - the real LVT was heavily corroded and the fenders were falling apart. I think it was photographed in one of those Pacific junkyards where they collected old or damaged armor and dumped it into the ocean.

[@CetoFreakingKaiba]

@@NightShiftScaleModels that sounds interesting. Corrosion could indeed assist you on getting a good result with those fenders. Though if it were a tank in service, I don't think PE could be avoided. I did think to use the plastic part as template to forcibly give copper the correct shape with a ball or something but I don't think it would work

[@PJHamann1]

LOVE your videos! Just want to add a minor point about those "lazy" weld beads in the kit (I didn't work on this kit - disclaimer). A 3D designer is trying to pay his bills and maybe feed his or her family on the very little money that they make doing that work. A repeated pattern of weld beads might seem like a lazy solution, but designers are under extreme pressure to cut design costs and hours. As hobbyists, modelers have the luxury of letting something sit overnight because we might come back the next day and decide that we want to change it. If we did that as 3D modelers, we would (we do) go broke and go away. Anyway - I do seriously LOVE your work and just wanted to comment respectfully with a little insight into why we might see some things in kits that make us go "meh - why!?". Before anyone says "Well! But Tamiya! Or Well Dragon does it XYZ..." those companies probably have the capitol to pay more for 3D design. The 32 hours that it might take to hand layout all of the weld beads (as opposed to 8)(plus rivets, plus screws, plus... you have to think exponential increase in hours, not linear) adds to the cost of the kit that most modelers are also unwilling to pay.

[@NightShiftScaleModels]

Hey Pete, thanks so much for the insight! Yes I can totally see that, I think I was too harsh with my judgment - I wanted to point it out, but I could've said it in a different way. I totally understand how it often goes behind the scenes, and not only in the modelling industry. After all, I struggle with this all the time, trying to do my best on a very tight time schedule. I totally didn't want to belittle the people and their work on this kit. Again, thanks for your comment and hey, happy cake day!
