Let's Paint Some Panzer Tools, Exhaust, Periscopes And Other Details | Rutscher | Das Werk 1/35

[@AdamMann3D]

Aw, Uncle Night shift shouted me out. You results look great sir.

[@NightShiftScaleModels]

Well, I had to, if it weren't for your video I'd just paint them silver.

[@juholehtinen5800]

"Just paint them silver! Thank you all for watching..." Jesus! Don't scare me like that!

[@Panzermeister36]

Excellent video Martin! You've got an excellent wood result that I might have to steal cause that's always tricky to get right in my experience. I noticed a few things you might be interested in: The bolt/wire cutters' tool handles aren't steel in red primer covered in paper. They're plain steel covered in a resin-impregnated compressed paper that itself was dyed dark red. People often say they were Bakelike but only the little end caps on the handles were that. Oh and that rear convoy light should be dark blue...the earlier "square" one with the four holes used four green lights, but the "tubular" one (later-war) used four normal light bulbs inside a dark-ish blue tube, so you get four blue lights showing through when lit. Works kind of like old incandescent Christmas light bulbs. I know that cause StuG stuff :)

[@NightShiftScaleModels]

Oh man, I even made screenshots from Adam Mann's video so I could paint them as best as I could. I guess next time I'll skip the whole red primer thing and just paint their handles in that compressed paper color and probably just add a few stains. The convoy light was confusing. I noticed it glows blue when turned on, but the best reference I found were museum tanks and there it seemed like the glass tube was just black. Might be an inaccuracy caused during the restoration process?

[@abnfscoord]

@@NightShiftScaleModels If my memory serves correctly Panzermeister36 has a pair of wire/bolt cutters.

[@danrafferty4346]

Panzermeister said you have excellent wood.

as soon as I heard him say that I knew we'd hear from you lol

[@endgovernmentextremism]

I grew up on a 120 year old farm with tons of old machinery on it... I'm very familiar with paint wear and rust and have to say, this is excellent. Especially the wheels.

[@CoinCoin-o8z]

love the exhaust layering process. Great job as usual.

[@LeveretteJamesClifford1955]

Hey Night, you are the most fun to listen to! I imagine you sitting alone coming up with really funny lines! But I wonder, do you have a massive staff and a makeup artist who is constantly touching up your hands?

[@BrotherHoodMovies331]

one thing about the Rubber, Natural rubber actually has a slight reddish or brownish colour, and synthetic rubber, or Oil Rubber, is the grey-black kind, most tyres and rubber products were natural rubber leading up to the war, but with supply lines becoming strained, synthetic rubber ultimately replaced it, so mismatched rubber on the road wheels would be both historical and a neat detail.

[@Space_Aquila]

I have to be honest. I do not do models (maybe in the future), so I can’t really use your tips... but man do I like to watch your videos! It‘s just seeing the Artwork from start to finish, and your narration is very nice! Keep up the great work! xD

[@tasketehimesama]

Just on time for my work bench. My Panzer cats appreciate the help

[@andrewschanck3363]

MARTIN! That exhaust is DOPE! I love it

[@SaxonArmamentsCo]

This makes op sec review MUCH more tolerable. Thanks man

[@distilledfacts887]

Being late to this video (6 Months plus). I have to say that gluing the tank wheels they way you do, is so darn smart, simple and just crazy easy. I have a German Hetzer that I have not built yet, and I am looking forward to building - albeit with less tank wheel challenges. Throw in how you paint the tracks, and the color combo - totally awesome. The tank wheels look great. Thanks for creating this video I just learned two new neat tricks that I will use. I hope that you continue to do more videos, and perhaps you can cover other ways of weld seams, and tarps. You and a many others are an inspirations to many of us modelers that are re-discovering this wonderful hobby. I am enjoying your videos, your candor, and down to earth explanations are really great. I am glad you choose to create this videos. Lastly, I want to say that I watch a few other KZbin channels (No insult intended), and I really enjoy you tips and tricks.. Thanks from a Canuck returning to modelling after 25 years - I hope you never lose your love of scale model building.

[@MAN394631]

Your videos are the First Aid for so many modelers round the world, i think youre one of , or maybe the best modeler in youtube channel. Cant wait for the next video. Some of your videos i have watch already 4 times.

[@sparker4614]

Great video. Your brush control is very good.

[@mcoractualcustomsreviews5266]

Uncle Nightshift. Killing it with content I listen to while I drive to work! I love learning these techniques to use on my own projects. I convert Hasbro Star Wars ships/figures into more realistic pieces using your techniques and I'm very pleased with the results.

[@reconmodelsvaughn469]

Iam so glad you showed how a Exhaust should look not Covered and pigments and dark rust .the Exhaust you did is spot on not all rusty look at a truck or farm equipment or something it Drives me absolutely crazy when I see people's models and the hole tank is rusty and covered in mud effects that's not in scale. This is a very helpful video for the hobby thanks for sharing your Videos

[@NightShiftScaleModels]

Fun fact: the best inspiration for painting tank exhausts is googling regular car mufflers :)

[@DollaryDooz]

That exhaust came out so well! I love your techniques Night Shift, you have changed my model making style hugely and I've picked up skills I never even knew about, thank you.

[@jocking3]

9:02 - those are not endcaps you are painting there. It's the braces for the bolt cutter holder. It's part of the vehicle, not the cutter, the endcaps are under that part.

[@NightShiftScaleModels]

I just checked them on the Bovington Tiger and they don't look like braces you'd slide the bolt cutters in. The brace is the flat piece of sheet metal under them and the bakelite end caps are clearly visible on the tank: 1.bp.blogspot.com/-LxE3w-ENoAI/W0I5oUHrbfI/AAAAAAACXzY/8n9rerIXQIkAhGB2jr0xmyPSXZU16r4bQCLcBGAs/s1600/Bovington%2BTiger%2BCollection%2BTiger%2BI%2B%252810%2529.jpg But I'll look into it later, you got me curious.

[@briankoelling1061]

Hey there Uncle, I am painting my first tank using your system of filters and chips. So far so good. I finished the chipping last night and it looks fantastic but I must have got too excited and over done it. When I look at the kit this morning it kind of looks like too much chipping, as though the tank was caught in a gravel storm. Maybe the subsequent layers of dust and dirt will tone this down some, we will see. For sure I will use more restraint on the next one. I am very thankful to you for your instructive and entertaining tutorials. Keep up the great work.

[@NightShiftScaleModels]

Hey, yeah, it will tone the chipping down. Also, some chips will totally disappear :)))

[@fupalishous1878]

I really like your channel. It’s informative, interesting, helpful, and frankly enjoyable. The commentary can make all the difference.

[@bloro2812]

In this time uncle nightshift sounds excited and made my modelling filled day! 😄👍

[@markfergerson2145]

I always had trouble with periscopes. Black, gray, silver, cover with gloss paint or tiny scraps of "Scotch" tape... they never had any depth. Your tip of painting the lower half a different color gray looks so OPTICAL!

[@brucecamparmament3728]

The real ones I have seen had brown bakelite housings, just like the handles on the wire cutters.

[@bubbapipe]

With every new video I am left speechless. Just awesome techniques, tips and ideas everytime. Thank you for your time and for sharing your craftsmanship.

[@prrsd4046]

Always great ideas and techniques

[@stephennutkin2477]

I’ve just looked up pictures of panzer bolt cutters and you’ve got them down to a T.(spot on).

[@LordDeviss2000]

And my week day ritual is complete, your videos are one of the best 15 minutes of the week, your rust effects look so cool, weathering is so much when painting tanks ^^ its great to learn some cool techniques each video. Looking forward to the dust effects :)

[@bushiestwook5202]

I have learnt soo much from your videos, I find your techniques easy to follow and replicate with awesome results. Thank you uncle night shift 🤘🏼

[@SmallSoldier]

Excellent video again Martin with lots to ponder. I especially like your NMM for the tools. This seems to be all the rage in the figure painting world right now and I think I'll apply it to the next armour model... Probably the T-34/122, when I get around to making the next video for that one. Take care my friend, Cheers!

[@cygnusx10]

Friday nights are NIGHT SHIFT nights. Top vid; especially liked the colour on the wooden handles/tools. I'm deffo gong to give that a try as sometimes I think mine end up looking like a piece of antique furniture. Thanks for sharing Uncle, till next time.

[@NightShiftScaleModels]

Haha I feel ya. Mine used to look like well polished furniture too. Or like a piece of rotting driftwood.

[@joshuashikles9095]

Uncle Night Shift always delivers a bada** video. You really nailed the look of the tools and the exhaust.I am going to have to try your color combo for them on my next model. You got an awesome channel mate I learn something every video

[@abnfscoord]

The exhaust guru strikes again!

[@DynamicAlex]

Nice Video NS... IMHO, if I can, I want to add an advice when painting tools already 'mounted' on the tanks... Usually there is a free space between the tools and the tank body... I usually shift in pieces of a paper sheet in such gaps, so that any possible error, drop of paint, or trembling hand may cause not any harm to the underlaying surface of the tank... it's a very easy masking to protect the tank with not any harm for the model, no adhesive and... no cost...

[@thedurpytenk456]

13:23 The tank is bleeding hot sauce! P.S Plasmo used your weld technique in his new vid. :-)

[@NightShiftScaleModels]

It's not my technique, I learned it from Adam Wilder :) Nonetheless... Plasmo watching my videos? How cool is that!

[@thedurpytenk456]

[@ivoferin8176]

@Night Shift Those periscopes were in Bakelite. At least those used in german tanks cupolas.

[@kurtwk]

..... I forgot to say that you do great work and pop out very inspirational and fun videos, I’ll sometimes play your vids in the background as I work on my own models. One day I’ll have to try using oils for weathering. I never remember to buy them or when I’m thinking about trying them ,I’m usually strapped for cash. I am however getting VERY similar results with weathering powders even though it probably takes twice as long to achieve. 😃

[@jamiesworkshop3198]

Looks so good!! And it's so tiny!!! You rock it!

That is insane mate, what a beautiful job, I have to watch the filter vid now.

MARTIN, A THOUSAND APOLOGIES, I DID MORE SEARCHING AND THE TOOL I TALKED ABOUT LAST COMMENT WAS ACTUALLY BOTH CUTTER AND SPREADER, SO SORRY TO BOTHER YOU WITH SUCH A TRIVIAL DETAIL. STILL LOVE YOUR WORK. ES TUT MIR LIED

Thank you , Martin .

[@genericdenizen1]

Thank you.

[@robertdundas4593]

LOVE YOUR WORK, BEEN FOLLOWING FOR SOME TIME. THE TERM "WIRE CUTTERS", I THINK IS INCORRECT. YES EVERYONE CALLS THEM THAT EVEN GOOGLE. HOWEVER IF YOU LOOK CLOSE AT THE TOOL, YOU WILL SEE NO CUTTER, BUT A SPREADER. THIS COULD POSSIABLY SPREAD TANK TRACKS APART WHEN REPAIRING DAMAGE IN MY OPINION. DANKE FUR MIENEN MOMENT.

[@jasonr2848]

Your videos are a gold mine! This may have been covered in another video, but when you switch between acrylic effects and enamel effects, are we to assume you sealed them with a varnish in between those steps?

[@vincedykmans970]

Great video and great techniques! Since following your channel my models have improved a lot (well... at least I’d like to think so...🤔). Really enjoy following your weathering process. What sort of fine brushes do you use and how do you take care of them...!? Have a good weekend 👍👍👍

[@Unseal]

Yay, another vid

[@michalgajdos7575]

Hornby (out of business for donkey years) had enamel colour "periscope black " .It was glossy black only @ 0° angle of observation. even slightest view (or light direction) angle manifested indigo blue reflections

[@michalgajdos7575]

Revell bought Hornby,closed factory (UK) ,but kept producing under both brands for whlie.I have seen this very paint sold by Revell too.

[@michalgajdos7575]

If you ever used enamel by Hornby (+or Revell ) in tiny metal container you know it is nearly impossible close tin correctly . Impossible to keep paint leftovers for future use,even 90% full container will go dry within months

[@NightShiftScaleModels]

Ammo also has "periscope colors" in their range. But I think those are just clear paints which need to be applied over a black base.

[@hugoshobbies1688]

So I guess I would paint a shovel whose tip is'nt under a cover pretty much the same. Cause the tip (of a used shovel) would be where it were damaged/rusted the most. But looking at my 1:1 scale folding shovel also I would think that the tip and rim of the blade would look most realistic if painted like blank steel (graphite).

[@NightShiftScaleModels]

Yup, the blade can be polished with graphite. I once painted a shovel just laying on the fender and I added some fine scratches with a pencil to make the blade look more worn.

[@roberthenderson2580]

I found a pretty good method to paint reflectors. Instead of chrome paint I use a Molotow chrome pen and cover with red clear. I think it looks really good.

[@NightShiftScaleModels]

I've heard that Molotow is very fragile and easy to chip or dissolve, any bad experiences?

[@roberthenderson2580]

@@NightShiftScaleModels It doesn't take kindly to handling but for things like reflectors, tail lights, interior chrome trim etc. it works great. You just need to flood it on to get the chrome effect, make sure it's dry then put on the clear color.

[@blizzdog3881]

I know it not that big of deal but back in the older days like WW2 on wooden handles on shovels axes and so on they use hard wood like oak and use a dark stain unlike today using cheap pine with a clear coat 🤷

Do you use a gloss varnish before doing streaks, and other weathering,than a flat varnish,? Or does that not matter?

[@stephennutkin2477]

I forgot to add that the reason for the pressed paper on the handles and the bakelite end caps (on both long long and short handled versions) was to prevent accidental electric shock.
