Let's Paint Some Stowage! And Other Finishing Touches... Panzer II Restoration - Part 3 (Final)

[@thegoodearth7]

One small element I really appreciated . . . the white bowls in your stowage. They look incredibly interesting and ultra-authentic!

[@NightShiftScaleModels]

Those were a spontaneous idea... like, what else could I 3D model and print? Bowls, I could paint them white and add some rust and chipping (chipping everywhere!)

[@jilthunder2276]

Agree 100%!!!

[@Jyjtjjtn_33df]

Jerry’s gotta get those cornflakes in somehow

[@keepitrusty]

@@NightShiftScaleModels I love them! Were the chips done with a brush?

[@jaredikin455]

Night shift, would you consider doing a tank in the rain? With water pooling everywhere?

[@Adamant_Consternation]

Oh I like!

[@bageled_meme2690]

Ooh I like!

[@willy2776]

a thin layer of Elmers glue, will look like water when dried.

[@NightShiftScaleModels]

Proper wet effects fluid would be probably a better idea than wood glue :)

[@sepp1781]

Mod Podge does this.

[@uncleheavy6819]

Love your stuff, Night Shift. Outstanding work as always. I have the answer to your observation about bright silver weld lines and why they didn't rust.....armour plate was welded with stainless steel. Ordinary steel welds would crack as they cooled. For some reason, stainless steel does not crack when used to weld armour plate. Keep up the good work.

[@coinsmith]

I always enjoy your voice. You sound like you would be a pleasant person to know.

[@mitchellsumpter4807]

I’m always impressed!!!

[@waynebeattie2230]

A big improvement. Nice work.

[@truereaper4572]

Seeing how the initial mud effects looked a lot like dust/sand really makes me want to see you do some sort of North Africa Front related model

[@fredericksmith5235]

Looks really good, can't wait to see the diorama.

Stowage Phobia!!!

[@hyper-sloth]

As always another fantastic video. Have you tried painting the tarps with oil paints? I do hate the wait time for drying, to be honest, but I like the blending and richness of color. I think what you did looks awesome!

[@geggug]

imho the paint in over the top shadows make things look cartoony. would look more authentic without them. now it sort of looks like when you overdo ambient occlusion in cg and youre seeing shadows in areas that ar not really occluded, just baked in there no matter the lightsource. my 2 cents. still great work and entertaining content

[@hanspeter-qj9nx]

Night shift is it possible that you can use the vallejo color for airbrush for sponge chipping? Or do you need the normal vallejo paint type

[@ScottKenny1978]

The Model Air colors are a lot thinner and don't cover as well.

[@timodeporto686]

Leave it for an hour en most of the moist is evaporated, making the paint a lot thicker, so making them brush paintable and also sponge paintable. Works for mig and ammo paints too

[@hussar1681]

I wonder would you do an halftrack as one of your next projects. Or another 'less armored' vehicle that's mostly open. It could be an interesting experience!

[@NightShiftScaleModels]

Why not just a military truck :) I just need to empty my stash a little bit before I buy something new

[@SuperDeinVadda]

@@NightShiftScaleModels what is the thinking behind collecting a stash of models? Sure enough you can only build one at a time.

[@NightShiftScaleModels]

@@SuperDeinVadda for me personally it used to be the fear of missing out. like, what if the kit won't be available anymore? and also planning ahead... so when I already had the kit, I could also order tracks, photoetch etc. Nowadays I don't buy that many new kits and when I do I usually build them immediately (that was the case with the BMR-3M)

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

Aaaaaaaa, my Night Shift fix for Friday !!!!!!!!!! Great vid, looks really nice 👍😉🙂👌

[@samargrewal929]

you should get paid more for doing this

[@ninus17]

i would like to see you build a danish centurion, they were a little different to the ones the brits used, amongst other things they did was to add a bustle rack made in denmark. or perhaps an m41 walker bulldog, again with the danish modifications. they had a very distinct bustle rack and an IR spotlight, they also tended to wrap camo netting around the barrel and turret. i think it would be a cool project for a man of your skill :)

[@ScottKenny1978]

Basket? You mean the thing on the back of the turret? That's the bustle rack. The turret basket is inside the tank.

[@ninus17]

@@ScottKenny1978 oh right. fixed it. thanks

[@ScottKenny1978]

[@dirtydandinoman8902]

I have a question. Pick one of your best 1/35 models. If you were to sell it, what price would you have it at?

Why sell it when I can restore it after 10 years? :D

Brilliant mate - being an early war model, maybe decals on the steel helmets would have been nice. Looking forward to your next project. Cheers Fedja

With your focus on historical armor, have you ever considered tackling fantasy or sci fi armor? Like Warhammer 40k tanks

[@bigg1452]

I'd love to see him step out of his comfort zone and do something like a Baneblade as a one off. Could be very interesting

[@NightShiftScaleModels]

Fantasy armor... are there any wooden tanks? :)

[@commanderfluff]

@@NightShiftScaleModels If the "Sharotank" counts as a tank, a warhammer doomwheel may qualify as a wooden tank.

[@lordzombey1337]

Hey Night Shift, will your try a Taboo theme in modeling? Ive never seen anyone doing fresh and wet rainstreaks on a Model.Ive tested It once and It Looks really Bad so maybe a Tutorial of The Special Type?🤔

Again Pls make the Suyata Panther 1 48 with Strabokran, Figure, Panther with full interior and base in Takom Quality for 50 bucks

That is the best restoration of a model I've ever seen you should try something with digital camo

I'm thinking Berlin Brigade camo on a Centurion or Chieftain.

@@ScottKenny1978 yeah that looks pretty awesome it would be cool to see because it's colors not usually seen on tanks

[@raycoe9470]

[@wenyidong8563]

Finally found the best tutorial on painting stowage! Just finished my Panzer IV G DAK version, so Tunisia Grocery Store will be on business soon

[@theagileaardvark]

I would propose making at least one of the tarps have a different surface, i.e. more shiny by using a coat of semigloss or even gloss (some tarps used surely were more like the "rubbery" rain coats of the Wehrmacht or the Kradmantel) and later add flat dust and dirt to it, but not cover it all up. A varied surface reflectivity does add quite a bit of realism :)

[@NightShiftScaleModels]

That's true yet I find it to be one of the most difficult and terrifying parts of stowage painting lol. I'm used to seeing so many figures and stowage painted in flat colors that anything else seems "wrong" even if it's not :) Another good example are civilian grain bags filled with rocks as seen on Syrian tanks, those bags are completely shiny... yet I feel like it would be extremely hard to pull that effect off on a model!

[@robertthompson1993]

Another great piece of work! My favourite detail is definitely the little enamel bowls.

[@rrl4245]

In my humble opinion, stowage is very important to give our vehicles that 'lived-in' look. And they give us a chance to add color to our otherwise dull green tanks (I'm thinking Shermans and T-34s, here.) Sorry Uncle, but you violated one of my pet peeves. I was in the Army (riding around in M113A1s), and EVERY box, or crate was ALWAYS marked with a description of contents. Stencils in military jargon, or some ownership mark or symbol. ("This is my stuff!) Else, you wind up with that military warehouse scene at the end of the 'Raiders of the Lost Ark' movie. You remember - where the treasure was lost amongst a million unidentifiable crates.

[@user-vs5dt5ui3i]

awesome and educational as always

[@willy2776]

Painted plain tissue paper makes for excellent tarps, and tents. Thin cardboard with thin metal strips makes excellent boxes, and crates. Use your imagination to build different things from materials around you. Wish you could see all the detail I put on my 1/16 M16 half track. Have a nice day !!

[@gruppenfuhrer45]

If you haven’t yet Martin, could you do a DAK Panzer 3? I’m doing one now and could use the tutorial

[@das_schnitzel8459]

[@paulcharters5933]

Another excellent video Uncle. I have found this really helpful for a stug I am going. Any chance you could do another on working with German grey? Cheers.

[@laaity]

Im building a mini steam locomotive That works with steam Not a....those models like yours

[@markfergerson2145]

A fun diorama might be a field officer who's caught up to the tank and is lecturing the crew to "Get all that crap off of my tank!" but how would you communicate that to someone simply looking at it? EDIT: How about a group of Allied soldiers who captured the tank crawling over it looting the loot crates while one holds the crew at rifle-point?
