I'm Trying New Stuff Again... Non-Linear Weathering On The BMR-3M

My friends, tonight we're trying a completely different approach to weathering. Last week's post-shading and pre-dusting gave us a very good foundation for what's coming up next. We're going to use lots of well known techniques, but we'll switch their order so the whole workflow will be smoother and more enjoyable!

Petition for the diorama to be the BMR-3M hitting a mine, that explodes in front of it

[@SamuelBenedicic_of_NSK]

Oh yes, that would also make a lot of nice workwith smoke and perhaps even led light lightning and electricity in the smoke of expanding explosion? Or after explosion, ton of dirt and dust over the model.

[@Kdschaak]

We used to do this to our old models as kids. Only we would use firecrackers. it was a one time show.

[@camoduck03]

Yes it would look great

Who could not like you videos. So far all but 1 scale modeller on KZbin (that I've watched) has referred to your work

[@patrickbrun5830]

After 50 years in this hobby, it is great to learn new things and making more progress. Thank you very much. 👍💎💎💎💎💎

[@Kchildres]

Congrats.. you finally put a title to the way i have painted for 20 years! Thanks for that..! :) I despise the Step by Step, paint by numbers methodology that a lot of modelers cling to and always find myself switching back and forth between mediums and painting things "out of order" for the sake of speed and creativity. I love this video and found a lot of inspiration in it! Keep up the good work.

[@NightShiftScaleModels]

The tried and tested method is a great way to understand techniques, how everything works together and how not to skip important steps, but yeah, it's just so time consuming... why keep doing it like that when it can be done faster with similar results :)

[@lukedavid8099]

Hey nightshift- can you try to make a "wet" tank? A tank that is actively in the rain with raindrops and wet/muddy texture. No idea if it's possible but I thought you might be interested in the idea.

[@nickbutler7935]

You've just gotta love those 'Happy Accidents'!.

[@oliverruddock734]

Maybe showing it detonating a mine, there is a picture of a diorama with a king tiger rolling over one. Maybe do a small one with a dirt explosion, could also add a soldier being shocked by it. Love the videos

[@blitzkrieg2524]

I wish you posted more often but at the same time I have something to look forward to each friday

You, sir, have an incredible talent for bringing life to lumps of plastic.

[@ariochiv]

Rust washes are probably more subtle on green because red and green are complementary colors; the green showing through the red rust turns it more gray.

[@brassstone7668]

Just watched the first one, nice timing.

[@ryann2710]

Been watching your videos for a long time now. It’s been a great source for me to understand the how and why. The time has come for me where I can devote some time and money into this now. I’ve been wanting to build a diorama for an M270A1 for a long time. It sounds like a lot for a beginner, but that’s how I get into all my hobbies, headfirst.

It feels pretty good not spending 2 months on one model 😁

[@quintahab1004]

Great video. I just ordered my first model paint supplies. A Vallejo basic paint set, six detail model paint brushes, and an EVOIO painting stand base with clip sticks. I’m currently working on my second model. A Snap Tite A-10 Warthog. No painting, just stickers. It’s a level 2. Going for a level 3 model next. So I should have my supplies by then. Looking forward to my first paint job. Thanks again😀

Meanwhile I am starting my first serious attempt at Armour modeling. Got the Jagdpanther, and I am crazy and I choose an hard edge camouflage that will be painted by an brush because I got inspired by your "Rutsher" salamander tank video. Anyways a great vid Martin, glad to be subscribed, many techniques of yours I will hopefully use in my Armour modeling "career" wish me luck.

[@TheDefibrillator1]

I really love your Videos. I hit the scale modeling scene because of burn out and am having such a good time. Your videos are extremely helpful because painting plastic is hard. I saw a lot of your older videos where you build dioramas, which i would like to do. What kind of foam do you use for building the base? I was quite unlucky with amazon and could not anything helpful.

[@Modkits131]

Me trying to figure out, how did he do that? NightShift: It’s just that easy.

[@cambargera]

*me furiously watching his videos over and over*

[@NightShiftScaleModels]

This whole approach is like a system of sorts, so it's good to watch (or re-watch) the previous episode with pre-weathering, it all works together!

[@cambargera]

@@NightShiftScaleModels and then rewatch again, and then again. Then maybe test on a model and pretend your models are mine and i did a great job

[@CaptSpeirsB744]

I think it comes from lots of practice and experimentation. And a good eye for detail and color, I think.

[@cambargera]

@@CaptSpeirsB744 yeah for sure. I will say his videos are a huge inspiration for stepping up my detail game

[@CaptSpeirsB744]

As usual you do amazing work. As I am watching the model turn on the display base, I couldn't help but notice the aluminum chipping, it stands out and looks out of place (too fresh). I am thinking you are going to give it more depth by varying the Aluminum chipping with different tones of grey and texture, after all aluminum does corrode and gets darker over time and at some point will no longer corrode below the exposed surface. Aluminum corrodes to protect itself from exposure (sounds like aluminum has intelligence) lol.
