Painting A Heavily Rusted-Out Tank With An Airbrush! (Conqueror Mk. 2, Dragon 1/35)

[@not_a_modeller7405]

It’s always a good day when night shift uploads

[@flack2998]

basically every friday

[@rocksteel44]

...GENAU !!!!!!!!!!!

[@Alpha-5]

I'm 90% certain I recognise the exact Conq you're using as a reference, with the extremely distressed and rusty green paint. Poor thing has been sat in the corner of a field for decades and I'm not sure what is paint and what is moss/lichen any more. Lookin fantastic nightshift 👌

[@Modkits131]

Nothing more satisfying than watching Uncle Nightshift make rust effects.

[@blahblah-hw3xg]

Great video! Would be epic to see tackle some jungle terrain one day, maybe with one of the mini Japanese tanks?

[@britishneko3906]

do Ke-Ni. its my most favourite smol IJA tank

[@NightShiftScaleModels]

or with the new O-I from Takom, stuck in the soft jungle terrain :D

Finally I've reached this level of involvment when I am saying 'Mah freends' at the same time with Martin

[@damirmejric3441]

This channel is one more reason to look forward to Friday evenings :D Great work, Martin. About that 25 on the hull: Give water pencils a shot. Easy and very controllable, and you can wipe away any f***kups with water in a few seconds. Once dry, they're there to stay and if you clearcoat them, you're good regardless of what chemistry comes next.

[@NightShiftScaleModels]

I should give the AK weathering pencils another try!

[@Repsak07]

You really always make my Friday

[@hrmpug1092]

I’m glad to see the older style of nightshift coming back, it might sound weird to say but I find this style kind of relaxing.

[@jacobakana5649]

Love the chipping look! I think that the grayish tones over the rust really gives those areas some depth. Illuminating as always, can’t wait for more!

[@Mango-yc7tw]

My day is made as soon as i hear that good oll “Mu Friends”

[@Gucciviper]

Wow, thanks for including ” nuances “. Didn’t know what I was missing

[@dogforeyals]

Oh yeah!!! perfect timing with my dinner!!! Cheers Mr. Night Shift

[@rafaelparente3578]

5:31 got me laughing so hard my mom entered the room to know what was happening

[@reelskillz1494]

My 8 year old son and I love your videos. He's learning to build and paint armor and figures. Thanks to you I have gotten the desire to get back into building and getting into some of those kits still on my shelf from 20 years ago. Anyway my son Henry is dying for me to put in a request for you to build an awesome 1/35 Sherman scene. Fingers crossed. Keep up the great videos!

[@aaron2709]

This may be my favorite paint job you've done. Very post-apocalyptic.

[@hansvandermeer7635]

Man, the paint job on that model is psychedelic! I love it it may be huge but worth the effort. 👍👍

[@Vulturefist]

Dude, your videos is almoust like meditation to me. I get so relaxed from watching this and I really love your channel. Great stuff!

[@theliteralicecreamman]

Model: Requires serious rusting, weathering, etc. Uncle Night Shift: All your base are belong to us Huge respect as always, I'm an amateur digital and bog-standard pencil-on-paper artist. I reckon you spend more time mixing paints, priming and painting a single model than an average artist takes to construct, do line art, and render their drawing. Therefore, with many kudos, I watch your career with great envy.

[@wi-fi3231]

Finally friday again! And best of all, Night Shift uploaded!

[@PUBHEAD1]

Yeh, its Friday, the work day is almost done, and Uncle Nightshift uploaded a new video. Great way to end the week👍

[@wolfganghinze6367]

Man, gotta love me some rustbucket build, I'm very keen to see how it will look at the end

[@daspanzer135]

Absolutely phenomenal as always!

[@OlympusHeavyCavalry]

I appreciate what you are achieving with your models, although I am around the area of beginner/intermediate and not sufficiently experienced like yourself, what you provide her on YT is easy to see and understand. Cheers bud!

[@upperwarlord7744]

Thank you for this I'm working on getting ready to paint my SD40T-2 and it's got rust showing through. This really is a big help to doing that rust on it your videos have helped me so much with my modeling I've really started to try rusting and dusting my models

[@waynestarick5282]

Octopus stand! Simply the best buy I ever made!,

[@jackwills7092]

From where in the uk

[@williamsaloka9043]

I really like the lines of this Tank for some reason.

[@ScaleTrainStation]

A chocolate Easter tank! Mmmmmm! Also, the chipping fluid as an "undo layer" is brilliant!

[@alankeith7866]

Hi Martin!! I hope you see this... In an old book I have, there is a picture of a IS3 as a coastal defense artillery. The vehicle is really stripped down, and covered with rust, bird droppings, and a faint camouflage. It is dug in. Judging by the picture, it had been there for quite some time. I think it's an old Squadron Signal book. Have a great day!!! Alan

[@Sasha-jk6wo]

I'm excited to see where this goes. It's always a pleasure watching your techniques and your creativity, you truly a master of your craft.

[@Oakeeper]

Excellent as always. Thanks for your videos

[@firstletterofthealphabet7308]

I've noticed that the "Muh friends" is delivered with increasing impact every week 😂

You are so talented! I could never make such a beauty!

[@clungepoker6749]

Just outstanding attention to detail as always fella 👍🏻

[@APHILLWAROFRIGHTS]

i love when nightshift uploads

[@ada42klm]

Outstanding work my friend. I'm happy to hear you're planning on making a scenery for the rusted-out tank. I'm always learning something new watching your videos. Kudos to you. Cheers.

[@ladzhandle]

What I love most about your modeling is how you constantly modify and improve your techniques. I think you should try some aviation modeling and see if there are any valuable techniques you can use in your armor modeling.

[@stewstew2996]

Looks awesome. Loved the “dead meat” spray job. Great work

[@bluebooooo7165]

Yay! Night shift uploaded! I just sprained my ankle today so I need something to watch

[@joshgibbs3337]

After the crazy week I had this is what I needed to end on a good note!!! Looks sooo amazing!!!

[@tbbb6915]

this video made my day, keep up the great work man!

[@thatotherguy7596]

The variety of armor finishes you are capable of reproducing is astounding 😃 Thanks Uncle Night Shift ❤️

[@VinBizz]

Sometimes, I really think that Uncle Night Shift will enjoy the building and the painting of a German U-Boot at 1/72 scale, with all the rust and texture

[@Shorjok]

Love how this is looking so far. You may find it too late for this, but some actual rust holes in the side mudguards would do wonders as they're very thin and prone to it IRL.

[@dbaider9467]

This is fine art, I hope you realize that.

[@kallemon]

Amazing job as always! It would be crazy fun to see what you can do with a tank from Warhammer!

[@danp9951]

Or paint a real life tank in a Warhammer theme! Blood Angels Sherman? Chaos Panzer??

[@treyzmodels422]

Wow epic rust! Thanks I needed this👍

[@vex_mistaken]

a night shift video is already good on its own but one on my birthday is better!

[@Vegemite_Warrior]

Good job Night Shift

[@OGTalon]

A tip from art school that helped me with my airbrush freehanding is practicing by drawing a square, circle, triangle and cross in a row 10-15 times and then each shape individually 10-15 times. The idea is to aim for consistency and speed, I still do it as a warm up hah!

[@stephenbridges2791]

Great rust effects. I've kept Tamiya Hull Red and Red Brown around for years. 2 very useful colors. My rusts and factory primers usually begin with some combination or hue of those 2 paints. Very cool effect you made.

[@ralphford4302]

Brilliant - unique presentation, thanks

[@lukeholsten1436]

Something about that graffiti on the rear of the tank just hits different. Awesome job Martin!

[@erickirwan8703]

Very cool effects. Always look forward to your videos.

Wow model! Thank you for sharing!

Amazing work Martin

[@lyleslaton3086]

Looks like one of the "flower pots in the Patton Museum Annex. With 5000 gallons of paint you could have shot the motor pool screen from STRIPES. Rusty hulks that went to Georgia with the devil when he moved.

Great work as always! You make it into an art form :)

[@coeliandetlev8670]

It looks so good now ! Keep on with your amazing work !

[@gorkamorka999]

On the topic of brushes for weathering: I recently came across a set of "scratch brush erasers" by PK-Pro. They are handles with replaceable tips with different grades of hard bristles from nylon to wires. Might be useful for those hairspray chipping techniques you mentioned. Although I you could also experiment with making your own from an old toothbrush.

[@Rpantherluzero]

Beautiful work, it's amazing 👏 👌

[@thralldumehammer]

Beautiful entropy!!!!

[@MX5Fanatic]

Night Shift the rust master!

[@martinoconnor4314]

Uncle Night Shift, can you please do a video on how you would build an ancient Tamiya or similar kit from the 1970's without using any aftermarket parts. Any extra detail you would do has to be made by you. I would love to see you build something like that and it would make for an interesting video watching you trying not to swear and throw it in the bin. Some really ancient figures would be good for a laugh too!

[@stephanmotzek779]

Thank you

[@AI.art.Tiz001]

bro.Thank you for always uploading great videos. I have one question. Before painting this model tank, can the mold be expressed with the grass used in the diorama?

[@Fergang_123]

I stumbled upon your channel and your content is very entertaining and interesting

[@hxdt1107]

Thank you for the inspirational video. Really would like you to see building an 1:16 model. Would be nice to see how much detail you could add there.

[@lukenix5253]

I love it! You should do a video on some modern tanks. I'm working on a M1A2 Abrams kit rn and could use some pointers on how to make it look realistic. Instead of tons of rust, because I know that the US maintains these tanks, I wonder what some heavy weathering and mud would look like.

[@JanKoneczny]

this is first time when I finally go happy to my night shift.

[@stealthlion9990]

Hey Uncle night shift! Have you considered doing a video on the mig ammo U-RUST Products? Super fun!

[@artandglory8140]

Love your videos,I really recommend you to use ak interactive microfiller primer it goes very well on pe part and have a strong bond on metal and plastic 🤘🤘

[@panzerivkampfwagen3192]

you should make a video where you try to build a small model with only really basic modelling supplies as a sort of challenge

[@biginjapanminiatures]

Omg, that's gorgeous!! 👏👏👏

[@JedenSiedemDwa]

Looks very good and promising. ;) All the best for You! ;)

[@darkspartan4054]

You should do a burnt out / destroyed BTR-90 that would allow you to do a ton of burnt and rusty colors.

[@xNevikKx]

Can't wait to see the rest. Seriously considering contributing to Patreon. Your vids are in the 1%.

[@pattygman4675]

Martin, I like to use ammo u-rust. I find it is a fantastic product.

[@slowioczek]

Yes I agree that painting large model is pain in the ... and because I am building only planes in 1/32 scale and I love big planes and bombers the most. I am "enjoing" painting very large surfaces a lot. Right now I am building B-17 and B-25 1/32 simultaneously and its realy exhausting to paint this huege air planes.

[@bruhnegus]

Those markings are so awesome, I'd love to try them on a model one day Btw nice job as always 👌

[@diremiralis1998]

The biggest model I’ve painted is a monogram Patton, though I am thinking on getting a Revell B-17

[@burningtank160]

nice man looks good

[@Emdee5632]

This might be heresy, or maybe I'm just an amateur. I always paint most of the larger groups of parts of a model that I'm building before I assemble the complete model. How are you going to paint the difficult to reach parts behind and between the wheels and the tracks? I see this happening on almost every KZbin instruction video. I might add I still mostly brushpaint my models although the large bulky parts (the hull without suspension system, wheels and tracks, the cupola with main gun etc). are spraypainted.
