Let's Make The Tiger MUDDY! | Tiger 1 Gruppe Fehrmann | Rye Field Model 1/35

I always wanted to build a muddy Tiger tank, and because this one operated during the spring of 1945, we can assume the ground wasn't very dry or dusty... so yeah, mud it is!

In the end it took you longer to make this tiger than it did in 1943 in a factory ^^ Outstanding work Uncle!

[@NightShiftScaleModels]

yeah, talk about being inefficient!

[@provablegrub4581]

H D How is what he said underhanded criticism?

[@lukeholsten1436]

Last time I was this early this tiger was still green

[@tig546]

I think you are the best modeling channel on youtube 👍👍👍

[@goblinry]

I only comment because you asked about how to say "porous." We say it like "pour-us." I watch and enjoy all of your videos and you are entertaining and great at communicating technique.

[@MrGoldenV]

I would pronounce it "Pour-uss"

[@razor1uk610]

_pour_ as in a skin-pore or four, and _us_ akin to spies like us, or in walrus.. for myown pronouncing.

[@loli_ravioli_4204]

I feel like Otto Carius would love this.

I’ve just made a weld seam maker and tried doing some weld seams on a king tiger. The video you made a while back was really helpful

[@martinunderwood99]

@Oliver Viehland the 'maker' is also on Nightshift's video buddy. It goes hand in hand with his method: video is this one kzbin.info/www/bejne/fGSqnYF5Z8h-btU

[@Numptee86]

Pour-ous? Poor-ois? Poooriss? You crack me up mate, love the videos, hand on my heart this is the only thing I watch in the week (and I watch a lot of stuff on here) that I actually hang out for the release time of it and wake up on a Saturday morning to watch with a morning coffee :)

[@arkbuilder2012]

This whole Fehrmann Tiger series is absolutely freaking brilliant.

[@loupiscanis9449]

Thank you , Uncle Martin

[@ghettospacefsh6251]

4:58 very smooth👌

[@BrotherHoodMovies331]

A bit late, but a solution to you feeling its lacking dust and mud tones, is if you have some model leaves, sprinkle some of those on, take a step back and have a look, if it still looks like its lacking even with the leaves on it, then you should add some. great Video Martin, Keep up the great work

[@skatterpro]

This is always my favourite step. This takes it from a museum piece on display to an active tank with character, history and function.

[@Pootis_grenade]

I finished a airfix 1/76 scale tiger and I followed all of the mud and weathering videos by you uncle. Thank you soooo much

[@TLightBulb192]

You can't imagine how much I enjoy all of your videos. I just keep watching one after another all night. And also you make a smile on my face quite often, love your style of presenting an your charisma. Sorry for my English I'm not so good at it. Keep it like that mate. I send you a really big hug from distance.

[@Panzermeister36]

Those streaks on the sides of the lower hull are fantastic!

[@NightShiftScaleModels]

and it was so easy and fast!

[@SmallSoldier]

It's all coming together nicely Martin. And hey, you ain't kidding about a lot of work making these videos. I know exactly how you feel. They're a lot of fun to make but the hours one needs to produce a quality video are astronomical! Anyway keep the goodness flowing. Cheers!

[@shtolas7924]

You said the dust effects are still lacking something. What about adding some dusty footprints? They are pretty easy to do and can add some more interesting detail on the horizontal surfaces. The Tiger looks amazing btw

[@markfergerson2145]

I suggested that and he thought it too deep a level of detail. Yes, he actually said that.

[@strategosopsikion8576]

Nah guys, that quote is obviously from Jean Luke Picard.

[@Vincent-gc8zd]

It just gets better and better!!😀

[@SantitariumHaze]

My 2c - I think it needs more heavy mud build up in the road wheels. Right now it looks like a tiger thats been driving on the road and a lot of the heavy "chunky" mud has fallen off. It looks 100% fine as is, but you were talking about adding more and thats where I'd add to make it look more like the Tiger is presently in a muddy combat zone instead of having been there in the past.

[@DashaModels]

Nice work!

[@superprecise]

It's looking phenomenal

[@clintbonnett3449]

I'm loving this build. I haven't built a model in at least 30 years. But there's something relaxing about watching these little machines come to life with your talent.

[@tobiasbayer9023]

It´s so cool to see this model getting better and better. It´s a piece of art, I really enjoyed this video

[@tpaul802]

You are very inspiring to us with your techniques. I love your nasty tiger

[@richardtabassi1947]

My Friday has improved immensely now. Thank you!

[@hugopatlan8630]

Beautiful work, brother ,

[@BrailleScale]

Loved it! I believe the pronunciation of porous is the same as "poor us" which is the exact opposite of us who are rewarded every week with new Tiger videos on KZbin! Love the mud effects, I think I will finally have to break down and get some Tamiya colors and lacquer thinner. All these years and it's been almost all Vallejo paints. I'll make sure to get things labeled "Earth" too. Take care! See you mate, in the next one!

[@NightShiftScaleModels]

I've actually seen someone make a very realistic dry mud and dust effect with Vallejo (or Panzer Aces range) colors mixed with some Tamiya Flat Base! That would be very interesting to try!

[@BrailleScale]

@@NightShiftScaleModels oh awesome! I certainly have some on hand. I'll give it a shot! Thank you 😊

[@Tank_Modeling_Hobby]

I use Adam products also on my last build and I love them, and now I learn a new way to use them, thanks Martin for the great tips on this video.

[@Mikey__R]

Hey Uncle Nightshift! The videos for this tank make excellent guides for each step, I'm going back and rewatching them in turn. Tracks next... I've been noting down the products and materials you've used. I'm not going to reproduce your method exactly, but I'd like to at least get close, and since I've only got a nasty GW mud product, I'm loading up a shopping cart with Wilder and Mig products.

[@raviadivarekar9246]

I love your videos and tips you share . just great . In India we don't get all these weathering materials so I make do with mixing colors and chalk shavings for mud effect

[@erickirwan8703]

Great brushwork, Martin, your wash/predusting control is remarkable! I usually put a bunch of pigments all tracks, wheels and lower hull which covers everything I previously painted. Your techniques will be of great help!

[@alienfrogmodeller5875]

Dear Uncle Night Shift, I must admit each week I wait in-front of my laptop waiting for your latest releases here on KZbin...with extreme anxiety and anticipation (picture a small child awaking Xmas morning). As I was waiting patiently, I was formulating my letter to the World Modelling Society Hall of Fame Board members. I wanted to inform you that I have never voted, much less wrote a letter, to this very elite group of artists. It is so elite, I don't think V van Gogh has been accepted! I wish you luck and hope that your nomination results in a spot in the WMSHF! BTW it's Pore us...Strong Tenk forever!!

I think uncle nightshift needs to do the quarantine challenge

[@user-kd2ho5hl2r]

You should do a work space tour

[@chrisjordan4210]

The polished metal effect on the running gear depends on the soil type the tank traversed. Clay soils polish metal like fine wet/dry sandpaper but sandy soil grinds a duller pitted surface that doesn't really shine - I've never managed to get a realistic look on my models, it will be interesting to finally see the tiger with its tracks on.

[@ninus17]

may i suggest the next vehicle series after this be a Tiger 2. it looks great i cant wait to see it finished

[@lllllREDACTEDlllll]

From personal experience driving tracked vehicles in combat environments, mud builds up quite a bit on the front of vehicles due to the other vehicles in front of you as you drive in a convoy. It tends to throw up large clots of earth that even land on the top of your tank. In Iraq in 2003 our tank had mud 6in thick on the front of it due to this. Not sure this would work for the Tiger but it might help.

[@NightShiftScaleModels]

Definitely a valuable insight! I might play around with that idea in the future!

[@davidgolinsky]

Another great informative video Uncle Martin. What I used for mud effects in watered down Elmer's glue and pastels. I'll rub the pastel sticks against sandpaper then apply it generously

[@NightShiftScaleModels]

wood glue + real earth also kinda works! I used it when I was younger

[@davidgolinsky]

@@NightShiftScaleModels I do that as well! 👍

[@CJ-qv7oo]

[@SuperSherman44]

I used those rust Mig Paints on my M4A3 105mm tank that has round deflection marks and it looked great! For the base of the crater I used a metallic silver paint and then put the MiG rust on and it looked great but that’s just the way I did it. Thanks for the tips! 👍
