Weathering a 3D Printed Model (AMX-50, Resinscales 1/35)

[@dragonfusilier9173]

It would be interesting if you made a range target model. Just go wild with rust and shell penetration effects

[@risingsun9595]

Those models are always nice to look at and great practice for ricochets and penetrations

[@InsufficientGravitas]

Or it could be a disabled and then abandoned tank

[@michaeldicostanzo3652]

You predicted it!

[@berlin_actual]

I have reached levels of happiness I cannot express, Karl Sternau and Night Shift have uploaded! Keep up the good work, I am currently unable to model but, I hope I can continue soon!

[@shadow_entity9191]

Still blown away with how dedicated you are. It's great to see a model 'grow', getting more interesting and detailed. The only thing I do that comes close to 'modeling' is creating my own vehicles from Lego bricks. I have no connection to the type of modeling you showcase on your channel but your videos always make my day. You make these videos in way that just sucks you in. You're amazing in what you do and the way you explain what you're doing on specific parts of a model and what paints or materials you use makes me feel like listening to an interesting and engaging lecture. And you're making tank models which is just great!

[@matthayward7889]

11:30 that .50 cal looks amazing for a one piece print (plus barrel). I’m genuinely impressed!

[@harlech2]

"MAH-FRENS!!!" Glad to see someone is making a kit of this beefy boy, and I can't think of a better person to make a video series giving it the treatment.

[@jarlvalbjorn]

I loaded up this video just to reference your intro and before I knew it, the video was over and I realized I watched the whole thing like a kid glued to his favorite cartoon. You have a real talent, my friend.

[@SmallSoldier]

Always a pleasure to watch you work Martin! KUTGW. 🍻

[@conwayplays6610]

Excited as my Kranvagn kit from Resinscales just came in yesterday!

[@NightShiftScaleModels]

Sweet!!!

[@andrewengel3023]

one recommendation I have is that you can go even more overboard with the chipping in areas where the crew will walk on the tank, speaking from experience, the paint in those areas tends to chip a fair bit in real life, or even on handles, and areas where maintenance hatches would swing into

[@wetwildwendy]

I've 3d printed a tank and I'm painting it with all the knowledge I've got from watching your channel. Its looking not bad :) and im learning so much! Love the channel!

[@YouOnlyIiveTwice]

Bro, your videos always are what I look forward to after coming home from work on Fridays. The level of talent you have makes your channel one of the best on KZbin for model making. Keep up the fantastic work, my dude!

[@jacobakana5649]

I absolutely love the lines on this tank! Between the dark airbrushing and now oil washes on the panel lines, this can not be beat! Great job, I can’t wait for the next one!

[@TheHonyak]

Just a couple notes from an old tank commander..... 1: that Browning M2 , .50 cal HMG was Parkerized, a light/medium grey flat finished rustproofing. Check the internet for parkrized color. ( the barrel, was often darker due to heat discolorization) 2: that object on the rear turret roof is the tripod for deploying that .50 cal in a ground-mounted mode.....and would be the same parkerized grey.

[@joramzieltjens7012]

I just want to say that I really enjoy your work, and that your videos are really helpful for me and that watching a new episode always makes my (fri)day!

[@skelenton92]

Uncle Night Shift, I just wanted to say that your outro is a great motivator. Keep building models, don't just collect them! I've had a 1/350 Bismarck with full PE that I've been working on on&off since June, and I finally finished building the damn thing today. Still got painting left, of course, and the rigging on it seems like a whole 'nother challenge, but that outro was part of what kept pushing me to keep working through it.

[@cristianopersi7953]

Incredible how the adding of darker color changes the chipping magically. Wow

[@TheHonyak]

3: rust on pioneer tools was “Verbotten” by the battalion sergeant major who would inspect and cause you to spray-can paint all metal parts OD green. 4: those straps holding the tools, jerrycans, etc. in place we’re Not leather, they were a woven cotton olive drab canvas mesh that faded to a pale green with black metal hardware. Hope this helps for historical accuracy from someone who was there. And yeah, you’re doing Awesome work!!

[@nnhhkk867]

Hey, Martin, just want to thank you for these vids. I'm not a modeller myself but even as an artist these videos are surprisingly educational, useful and entertaining. Greetings from Hungary!

[@notnubilous3804]

As someone who also doesn't really like using traditional acrylic metalics, I've REALLY been enjoying AK's True Metal line. Very very easy to get a more natural weathered metalic look when you can easily blend oils into them.

[@SPSteve]

Martin, I wasn't too excited about this subject when you first started, but it has really turned out amazing. Your beautiful art work is inspirational!

[@beaverdam1199]

Amazing work my friend! I am currently weathering my Marder 3 that’s sat in the shed for 4 years. I painted it with my New airbrush a couple of weeks ago and couldn’t decide on what camouflage I should use so I went with a winter base coat and outlined it with a flat black in small and large doses whilst also shading the blacks and whites. I find that Vallejos light rust when watered down makes an excellent rust wash when used in small doses. I picked up a among the other day and will begin chipping in a few hours. Lovely work as always night shift, can’t wait to see this massive green frog fully completed.

[@R.A.V.E.Design]

Превосходный результат, уже жду следующей пятницы!

[@olivercooney6645]

It's great to see you work away on a kit you explaine everything it a very logical understanding way to follow builders alike not everyone one does that because not everyone has the ability it commonly known as being watchable everyone be happy take care everyone

[@lesthiele4921]

Hey Uncle the AMX 50, was absolutely outstanding, weathered must perfectly, and it looked to be a beast, hope you and your family are keeping safe and well, best regards from Australia.

[@pixelazer7925]

I love your work! Especially on this tank, it inspired me to pick up an AMX-13 kit of my own.

[@petermgruhn]

The heavy metal awesomeness looks legit.

[@OzScalemodeling]

The detail and your patience amazes me. Love your videos 👍🇭🇲

[@Tharringbone]

I really like the term “My even more favorite.” Thanks for always amusing me

[@flightlinemedia]

Nice work as usual Night Shift. 3D printing is going to bring us some really exciting subjects.

[@johnnybrown7644]

I love watching you try and mix up the series of techniques. I would love to see a oil dot filter after you pin wash to see it react with the extreme post shading. Plus I haven't seen you do one for a while!

[@NightShiftScaleModels]

That's one of the advantages of post-shading: you don't need oil dots! :) In fact, they can completely ruin the shading

[@enhance4442]

I love it ❤️, I love your videos, much appreciation for making Fridays an even better day.

[@yin-cheungwong5024]

The mottling works great on hiding those unwanted micro texture created by 3D printing

[@loupiscanis9449]

Thank you , Uncle Martin . 🐺

[@roadweary5252]

Your worst build will always be better than my best one, mah friend! Looking forward to next week!

[@Jeffsmodelgarage]

You make weathering look easy Martin lol I’m learning thanks for the video my friend model on!

[@BST14L_R3B3L]

Great job! Keep up the great work and happy modelling ^^

[@NightShiftScaleModels]

Cheers!

[@JedenSiedemDwa]

Your precision is totally extreme. You are a scalemodelling phenom. All the best for You! ;)

[@lavawolf666]

at the back of the turret there is some big layer mark, you can fix em before painting with, sanding, some heavy primer and a litttle bit of sanding, or diluted puty, but your metal efect wih puty solve it in prety much the rest of the figure , awesome job like allways

[@fulcrumR6]

so glad i found this channel

[@railflaye]

For me you are the best modeler on KZbin !!

[@sheawelch7276]

good to have you back night shift

[@andrewkistler3630]

That 50 cal is so nice. It should be sold separately as an aftermarket piece

[@harrygreene8669]

I'm following this approach on my 3d printed KV-1. Can't wait to see how yours goes

[@mawgantalling9511]

Highlight of my week right here

[@s.e.a.lthefurious8701]

Night shift, I have a request. Can you do "budget" chipping and rust? I use acrylic paints from tubes and don't have sprayer. So naturally I do all painting with brushes. I do have thinners and paint coats, but no fancy stuff that I would need. And how do I do rust on panzer ausf. E? What colour should I paint before panzer-grey?

[@cravinghibiscus7901]

This tank is really growing on me

[@jamesgordley5000]

What if (with a future model) you used the airbrush port-shading on panel lines, but *not* on any of the panel lines that cover horizontal upper (direct sun illuminated) surfaces?

[@graemebrumfitt6668]

I like Unc, like you say you just got to try new things every now and again! TFS, GB :)

[@niveleur]

So I'm a welder, I stare at welds all day. This isn't meant to be a "well you're wrong it should be X-Y-Z" comment, but honestly I've never seen a weld stay shiny very long after you get done welding it. They usually end up just turning gray. Usually start rusting a couple hours or so after being in open air. But it's your model, and you're more than welcome to take whatever creative liberties you please.

[@Ethan-kp4vz]

Your work is great!

[@Danger1972]

I love your artwork so much! Thank you for creating and sharing your work!

[@Modkits131]

Those rust and silver chips 🤤 soooo good. 👌

[@EricElwellArt]

Love it! Can't wait for the dirt/dust effects

[@silverdragontm9548]

Well, at first, as always, awesome job! But seriously, the only place where you can truly spot the printing layers is the back plate on the turret, right? Most of the rest probably got covered up by textures and multiple paint layers.

[@NightShiftScaleModels]

they're also noticeable on the fenders, engine deck and turret roof. Luckily, you can deceive the eye by using paints and varnishes - not by flooding the surface and thus filling the texture, but making it less obvious

[@ferdyahern4355]

If you need a silver colour that actually works and looks good I can highly recommend the Vallejo metal colour range, the pains look great and are pretty easy to use, however they are very fragile and need to be varnished after applying. Honestly there paints changed the way I make models, give them a shot!

[@joshuahoffmann2913]

Love your work it has inspired me to make all of my models look better

[@BRUHM0M3NT.]

Amx 50 b is my favourite tank in wotb

[@stephenbridges2791]

Nice effects. I tend to use Tamiya Dark Iron for the metal portion of pioneer tools. Then similar weathering on top of that. I enjoy new ideas, though.

[@ДядяВаня-ш7ы]

Как всегда велликолепно! Мастеру 👏👏👏👏👏👍

[@stephanmotzek779]

Thank you ist so good to watch you und listen to ideas

[@tomtruesdale6901]

Very nice job there.

[@hungryhedgehog4201]

I really like the cast effect on this one

[@zebradude4562]

Wow what a good model, wish i could make a model half as good as that 🤣

[@jerryvolpini7987]

Amazing work! Sorry but not a big fan of the post-shading but we will see how it looks after it's 'dirtied up', even if you do go light on the effect. Always look forward to your videos, keep up the great work 👍

[@milannes1574]

Naprostá paráda jako vždy a velká inspirace .... už vím co zkusím na novém Cromwellovi :-d, díky

[@corsair371]

Super cool .I tend to do minimalist weathering, otherwise I ended not liking the end result

[@chriswashere]

for the gear next time...mix your grey paint with some metalic paint I believe you will find it interesting

[@SlavaUkraini345]

I love this channel and watching these things come together. I only have a small request. could you do something more modern like late cold war/modern day. I like that era a lot. I would love if you did the 2S6 Tunguska personally. but anything in that era would be cool.

[@steeliron8246]

Amazing

[@bigroryhollar5023]

Looks outstanding......😎

[@Boofsoftgang]

Another video another batch of stuff for me to try on my models (of course not even close to as good)! Keep up the great content uncle! :D

[@CWModelling]

Beautiful work as always Martin 👍......can I ask where the holder/stand for the tank comes from? TIA 👍

[@thelittlefox1892]

Amazing work But i have a question Can i use humbrol sculping filler with cement glue as you do with tamiya putty?

[@russouk]

Nothing wrong with lumpy sponge chips...chips are never flat theres always usually have edges sticking up, peeling off etc...hard to simulate but as you say looks cool

[@StruggleDuck]

One day you should totally stream yourself doing part of a model, it would be awesome!

[@TeoAnimations]

Once you said that you will probably remake the Yugo-war T-34. If yes, please say when and what to expect :) Greetings!

[@AvoidingtheQuestion]

I know its kind of below your pay grade, but I feel like itd be really cool to see you apply all these amazing techniques you use for tanks on a Warhammer 40k tank. If you're ever looking for video ideas!

[@od1452]

Love that 50 cal.

[@bgezal]

Wouldn't it make more sense to pinwash after the weathering effects? It would tone down the highlights in shadow areas.

[@BewilderedBearMiniatures]

You just made my day!

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

Great vid Great work! 👍👍👍

[@joshuadempsey5281]

Where do you get the panel scribe you used on this tank? All the ones I find online are just a sharp metal rod and make V-shaped groves, not the nice square groves you made.

[@somestupidperson2679]

What about painting the fire extinguisher?

[@Y-vidios]

Я хоть и из России речь не понимаю, но смотрю, уникальный контент, которого нет на русском ютубе

[@DEbANTARES]

Да и без перевода всё понятно. Все краски и химия подписаны, все шаги показаны.

[@WolfDogNH]

Hi Night, where do you get all the upgrade kits for all you videos other then the stuff you make yourself

[@MF-og1ct]

Here in the first hour yet again. Thanks again for a fantastic video on modelling. I like this over the top style. Have you ever tried using India Ink on a model?

[@cosmicmousse]

I think tools and cables look better with grey because they don't get polished like the track parts do. I'd like to see them done with a metallic paint, if only once.

[@schweikces]

Great video!!!

[@alanmoffat4454]

STILL WATCHING STILL LEARNING WHAT ABOUT YOU THATS WHY WE STAY HERE.

[@anonymous5810]

I sense a ‘what if’ diorama coming up

[@overcats5539]

Satisfying nights

[@Kuba.G]

I'm extra early today boys love the vids bro

[@RomaniaStrong]

What is you tamiya paint thinning ratio Uncle Nightshift?

[@patrik-4163]

Looks very dope, can't wait for the finished product... Can I buy it from you please? 😇

[@handznet]

Kliknu na video, kousek to posunu "do akce" a rikam si "to vypada jak rozblurovana fotka" a sekundu potom to slysim rikat i tebe :) Takze tohle je cele 3d tisknute? Vypada to super az na ty plochy co jsou pod uhlem - tam je to vrstveni dost viditelne - jde to nejak resit?

[@ModeliteDiorama]

Very helpful video, as always :)

[@digitalspacestudio3956]

amazing! i am your fan!

[@Sacrilege7294]

It seems like the model has some issues, one of them being the printing texture. However, it also has issues on some spots like the hook at the front, because it's not exactly round. It has like a 'square-y' 3D looking texture around. You've hidden most of the issues with armor texture on the turret, since the turret itself has a very square-y texture too, but you've hidden it all which is great.

[@abaddon7558]

really nice, as for metal paint (like the pickaxe, shovel and cables) intsead of using it as a base coat, just do what you've done here and add some metalic paint or pigment in parts that will be eroded the most, I also notcied your metalic paint is quite shiny, so to tame it and avoid a plastic kid toy look, mixe it with a darker colour or wash it, can be very effectiv for greasy cable. Or you can avoid metalic paint and try non metalic technics, or even better combine both by drybrushing some light grey and then use sponge technic to add mitalic paint chipping. As for reference if you don't mind dropping a bit realism for the rule of cool, I guess you could take a look over scifi and fantasy minis painter, no need to copy their technics, just might give you some new idea on how to work certain things. I'm pretty sure I just broke an open door, and you probably know all of this, there is of course the time spent on a model that act as a limiting factor kind of. Cheers
