MICRO CHIPPING IN BRAILLE SCALE - Char B1 bis (Trumpeter 1/72)

[@NightShiftScaleModels]

Sup mates! I'm posting this video a little bit earlier than usual because I'm about to leave for Mosonshow 2019 :)

[@ivanov9245]

What color to paint at dark green

[@DNModels]

Who leaves at 5 minute mark? Blasphemy! I watch them two times.

[@NightShiftScaleModels]

Haha, that's the average watch time :)

[@SmallSoldier]

Exactly Mitko!

[@woodandwheelz]

Every Night Shift video I've watched, I've watched all the way through. And as Mitko Nikitov said, I also watch them two times and some even more. Great videos. I'm learning as much as I can so I can do this at 1/64 scale. Hot Wheels/Matchbox size.

[@caoxiaoxiao8491]

This is one of the best the video tutorial I have seen over the past five years thank you so much for posting the video and I hope you accept my Appreciation

[@NightShiftScaleModels]

Thanks a lot mate!

[@laugh78]

my now favorite video tutorial channel on modeling !

[@Straswa]

Agreed.

[@cyclocore]

Martin, you 'Ingrid redefine the dorkiness and boredom of most modeling channels. Keep it up man. Fantastic.

[@Benno828282]

Recent subscriber, watching all your videos! You make great models, please keep them coming!

[@MX5Fanatic]

Outstanding! Just wish I didn't have to wait a whole week for the next one.

[@NightShiftScaleModels]

Wish I could work faster, but for now this is as fast as I can go :) Thanks for your support!

[@TheHobbyShack]

Hello- you are hillarious mate! I love your vids, been watching quite a few of them now.AKA you are awesome😂😂 what a great and creative way to present material while still being Highly educational. Keep it up mate. cheers 👍🏻👍🏻

[@EricSemmelmayer]

Just found your channel and love it. Love that you don’t take it all too seriously. Modeling is fun and it should be approached that way. Keep up the great work. I’m going to binge watch your channel this weekend

[@sclogse1]

I'm imagining the future of chipping, where you combine the light and the dark paints on the tip of the brush, but the light paint is a touch heavier, so it eventually slips to the bottom of the chip more than the dark. And voila. The chip gets a tiny highlight on it's lower edge, signifying the glare of light that gets diffused and bent toward your eye from the imagined sloped/edge between the dark chip and the main body color.

[@sanatkumarasharma3627]

Thanks a lot M8! I was looking for some inspiration to weather the digital camo paint I've just applied to a 1/16th RC truck: I used to paint 1/35 Military and 1/72 Aircraft and you did remind me how fun it is to apply rust and mud on the models, although in my present project I have to apply macro clippings more than anything you suggest on this great Char B1 bis that has become a tiny jewel in your hands. Congrats and KUDOS! Cheerio

[@Reconceal_music]

my eyes, back, arm, wrist and fingers hurt watching this :D It looks phenomenal, but the nerves, the patience :D

[@rommelcurious]

I find these very interesting and you really know how to explain.

[@NightShiftScaleModels]

Thank you!

[@euansmith3699]

Your brush control, and the quality of you point are amazing to a ham-fisted old duffer like me.

[@Straswa]

Great vid, love your entertaining style and in-depth explanations. LOL 5:44

[@SomeoneElseEntirely]

New subscriber here, not only are you have mastered the arts of model painting. Your videos are also very informative, beautifully recorded and edited which is a different art altogether to master. In addition that nice balance between informative and light hearted humor keeps us past that 5-min mark! (killed me with that one!). Thank you for your vids mate!

[@NightShiftScaleModels]

Thanks a lot for such a nice comment! It means a lot to me! And welcome, hope you'll enjoy your stay!

[@Flingwing24]

Maniac Kovac😂. My spaniels are micro-chipped. Do this to them and you would never paint a model again.... Seriously, brilliant. I don't build armour (not because I don't like armour, it's just another can of worms😳) but this just shows what dedication and skills well learned can achieve. Nice one

[@marcelwildeboer]

Martin your the best, really like your builds and the comments you give......where are the bloopers

[@Flingwing24]

Thanks M. Tried that on a Skyraider along with hair spray and masking fluid. Definitely the easiest to control. Convincing? Done properly definitely. Done by me? Better than I expected so onward and upwards. Take care.

[@hex1c]

Dude! You've learned me so much! Im so thankful!

[@jacobrichards8359]

It's safe to say, I may have found my new favorite KZbin channel. The teaching is wonderful and I love the humor 🤣

[@NightShiftScaleModels]

Lol, glad you're having a good time! And thank you!

[@shaneadair1472]

Love all your vids martin, very creative and heaps of fun while learning, just magic mate!

[@marcl6192]

Thanks for sharing and taking the time for all your videos, really great stuff. Instructional and entertaining in the best way possible, and of course inspiring. Now I just need to get back into my kits too. :D

[@terry35ish]

Very interesting. Thanks Martin.

[@pug5330]

Congrats on the 1k subs man! Really loving these videos!

[@NightShiftScaleModels]

Thanks a lot Pug! When I started I wasn't even sure if I could reach 1k in one year.

[@rastislavhasicek4604]

Loving techniques, loving your delivery, loving model, ... best video so far. :-)

[@NightShiftScaleModels]

Thanks bro!

[@SmallSoldier]

Right on man! Great tutorial on "MICRO CHIPPING" LOL. I use this technique as well it is time-consuming but worth the effort. Your right about adding chips that might not get seen. I like to add an artistic flair to my videos as well and there's nothing wrong with that IMO. I find models that have no chipping or weathering so boring to look at that's why I think I was so drawn to your channel as we think similarly in the way we approach weathering, at least I think so. Anyway great stuff as usual and I do watch all the way through as I know how hard you work on your videos and I like to give back to other creators as I'd hope to get in return... you know, good Karma. Cheers.

[@NightShiftScaleModels]

Amen brother!

[@timothyperrigoue3997]

Instructive and Entertaining! Thank you Martin.

[@JonBius]

Great work! Those chips are miniscule! 😊

[@NightShiftScaleModels]

Thanks Jon! Smaller scale requires smaller chips :)

[@JonBius]

@@NightShiftScaleModels And great eyesight! 🤣🤣🤣

[@laMoort]

thank you very much for your time making these vids, they are truely amazing!

[@NightShiftScaleModels]

Thanks mate, glad you enjoy them!

[@brettbarrow4383]

The only primer I've found that sticks well to rubber tracks is Mission Models. But even it might not work with that Trumpeter 72nd scale stuff, that stuff is like Teflon.

[@NightShiftScaleModels]

They're like tracks from hell. But I actually managed to fix them without a hitch, and damn are they gonna look the part! :)

[@ac4694]

6:43 the drip is real

[@robertcoble1445]

Thanks heaps for this mate

[@6axlepwr]

Are all these weathering steps so far done over a gloss finish?

[@dzony0075]

Hi, what is the best brush for microchipping. Greetings from Poland 💪

[@geekyrocket9714]

You've managed to make it look like 1/35th scale tank, the only give away is the Char B1 against your hand. Absolutely incroyable! How long does your chipping session typically take? I imagine at least a few days if not more? Your videos are as addicting as the hobby itself... proceed mentor! Cheers mate!

[@NightShiftScaleModels]

Thanks a lot! Back in the day it could take me a month or two to chip an entire 1/35 tank. This Char B1 took about 8 days.

[@geekyrocket9714]

@@NightShiftScaleModels All the time and effort certainly pays off Martin! Just remember to give your eyes and back a break during this process. LOL! Cheers!

[@NightShiftScaleModels]

@@geekyrocket9714 oh yes! a small break is necessary after an hour or so!

[@plastikmike8544]

Excelent work, do you also apply varnish before chipping. thanks.

[@NightShiftScaleModels]

Thanks Mike, no I don't, it's not necessary.

[@plastikmike8544]

Thanks! Still learning 😊

[@darronhedges5873]

So random,so many,so micro,so proffesional!Doesnt it rain in France?Ever..?

[@NightShiftScaleModels]

Never went to France, so not sure if they invented rain already, but the countryside photos from France look like they have their fair share of morning dew!

[@JedenSiedemDwa]

Looks pretty. I must try this. ;)

[@NightShiftScaleModels]

Thanks!

[@toddsterling5702]

Could you use different color for chips (green on Iraqi desert tanks) or should it always be lighter tone of base?

[@NightShiftScaleModels]

Yes, I think Iraqi tanks were painted in Russian green prior to their desert camouflage. I would definitely do that and then choose the largest green chips and proceed like in this video, so add lighter green and steel chips.

[@NumenYT]

How do you get the paint to not dry on the brush and fuck the tip up so that you have to, after like 1 or 2 chips, have to clean the brush and add more wet paint on? Having serious problems with paint consistency while attempting micro chipping. Either too wet and it blobs, ruining a chip, or it's too quick-drying. pls help

[@junglejim651119]

Perhaps I missed it somewhere, but what size/type of brush are you using for the..."Microchips"? Great job!

[@NightShiftScaleModels]

3/0 Vallejo brush. And that "micro" part is just a joke :)

[@budmeister]

i don't get chipping, because from my experience in the Army, we would never allow that much paint to chip off before we send the vehicle back in to be repainted.

[@NightShiftScaleModels]

And that's totally okay mate and I can't argue with your real-life experience. Like I mentioned, I'm fully aware this amount of chipping is unrealistic, but I just enjoy the technique and the results. Most of them get toned down by earth tones, so the result is always a bit more natural looking.

[@mrc4910]

I wonder if a combination of harsher use, inferior paint composition and maybe less emphasis on cosmetic maintenance would factor in.

[@szeregowy432]

Hi great looking model! May i ask what brush do you use for chipping?

[@NightShiftScaleModels]

Vallejo Red Sable 000

[@spinsqiggle]

Coming along nicely! A thought. Wouldn't the tank be a little more chipped-up and scratched at the rear where the chains are usually hanging? Also, is there ANY chance I (we?) could convince you to do a Bandai 1/144th scale AT-AT from Star Wars? I'd love to see what you could do to something like that in particular.

[@NightShiftScaleModels]

Thanks! Yes, adding chips where stuff is hanging or attached is a popular thing (chains, tow cables, spare track links, even tools) but I find it a little over the top. Faint dark stains of dirt, collected dust or even dark rust are usually a more subtle way to do it. But then again, these effects usually work only if you want to depict that part missing, e.g. some spare track links on a KT turret are missing, but they left a mark. Hope that makes sense :) I'm not a big fan of Star Wars tbh, but I like their sci-fi designs. AT-AT is really cool, although if I did something like that, I would do the beefed up version from The Last Jedi. I'm more of a mecha fan, so a Pacific Rim Jäger could be an option, and I also have a Japanese mech model, so I guess one day there will be a video series about that.

[@spinsqiggle]

@@NightShiftScaleModels Yes to see you do a Mech of some sort would be very interesting indeed!

[@scottrossgirvan8009]

Lol. Fun video man.

[@sertacsertoglu8691]

No "Micro Chipping!!" for upper tracks? As seen in : 06:25 , 0630 and 06:37 ?? By the way, like your humor and style, subscribing.

[@NightShiftScaleModels]

Hey mate, there was no need to add chipping there, as those parts will get completely covered with mud in the next episodes. And thanks for subbing!
