My friends, this video is about the entire weathering process on a WW1 tank. That means outlining tons of rivets, adding chipping effects, rust tones, exhausts, dust, mud, and grime!

The faded vividness of the camo just convinces me further that Night Shift would rock a Warhammer 40k or other sci fi tank

Would be interesting to see something like a rhino modified by him, he's a really skilled painter but I think he's an even more patient modeler, I wonder how he would handle all that beautiful exaggerate detailing he does while working on models

I did my baneblade full nightshift and I love it. So many opportunities for weld lines and armour texture. Dooooo iiiiit!

A walker would be interesting to see, like a sentinel or a dread. Also an armour modelers take on power armour would also be interesting.

I've been watching this series with interest as the only surviving A7V, Mephisto, is housed in the Queensland Museum which is about 20min from where I live. The first time I saw it was in the late 70's when I was 8 or 9.

I know right? He's frustratingly good at rust. If you go all the way back to his first videos on the ball tank he goes into way more detail how he does it.

@randytaylor1258 2 жыл бұрын

Washes, pin-washes, and dry-brushing aren't difficult and are very subtle except where you emphasize them. Tell yourself a story like our host, and apply weathering to reflect that on your model.

Very nice results. I'm a fan of post-shading. I probably lean more towards post than pre-shading. Both are useful, but; it's nice to see how someone like you approaches it. Very well done.

@randytaylor1258 2 жыл бұрын

One of the nice things about armour is that you can build the kit and then spend as much time as you want finishing it. No one sees your car's engine unless the hood is open and no one will see much of your airplane's cockpit with the canopy closed or a pilot filling it. But everything you do to finish a tank is right there for everyone to see.

Hey Uncle, thanks for posting. I'm not too keen on the highlighed rivets, In my opinion the gentle shading made them look better, but I suspect it looks better IRL. Also, it's your build. I'm just happy to be along for the ride. Keep it up!

Hey Night Shift, have you looked into using one of the Ammo Shaders for your pre dusting coat? wondering if it might be worth looking at for those trying to follow your example and have a hard time mixing paints and thinning like you do.
