Chipping, Rust Effects, Exhausts and All The Details! | KV-220-2 | 1/72 PST 

Another golden experience for my eyes! Also; "Being able to find a good excuse for your mistakes is the most important modelling skill." - is a great quote!

This isn't "Night Shift", this is "The #1 Modelling School".

I know I wrote it previous, but I do it again - these are the best tutorials on RU-vid. All the best for You! ;)

Your Videos are very helpful. Thanks from Germany!

you're awesome for not splitting this into 2 videos for monetization purposes. you rock, best tutorials for sure.

My thought process when I woke up this morning It's Saturday go back to sleep, Night shift has posted new video *runs to laptop*

Add a comment on the tarp...Well I have to say you have taught us many things on "how to" aka tutorials. What you have also taught us is, when you try something new, outside your comfort zone and do it enough times you get better at it. Your ability to adjust, overcome a bad situation and create a nice result was apparent. Keep adding accessories to your models, it adds more life and story details to the finished subject. Uncle Night Shift, I love to watch your transformation of the kits and your evolution of your skills expanding into areas you don't normally work on. This helps me recognize that I am not the only one trying something new. Thank you, sir.

Oh and Martin... the TARP/STOWAGE ROCKS!!! Nicely Done as usual! :D

damn it looks so real , you're a legend

Awesome video Martin

MARTIN!!! I don't know why you were so apprehensive about the tarp. It looks great! TENK STRONK!!

Thank god you painted that tarp! I was getting nervous it would stay tank-green. Looks great.

wonderful demonstrate as usual, i love it, see what you done in 1/72 scale give me a lot of inspiration for my 1/48 current build

Your technique never ceases to amaze me. More importantly, you have a very good narrating technique, one that draws the listener in and seems to anticipate questions the viewer might raise, answering them thoroughly without the question even being asked. In short, I always enjoy viewing. As always, thanks so much for sharing and keep up the good work. Steve

I don’t model but I love watching your work and listening to your commentary. It’s like Bob Ross, but funny and interesting.

On Last thing... BECAUSE of Martin's/Uncle Night Shift's VIDZ... I have NOW gone down the "ARMOR RABBIT HOLE" which I haven't done since I was in my late teens/early 20's. So NOW I have gotten BACK Into Armor Modeling! As If I didn't have ENOUGH "PROJECT" To do? LOL But Seriously... If I can get HALF as good as You... I will be VERY HAPPY! :D THANKS for the GREAT VIDZ! SUPER Informative and VERY HELPFUL! AND HIGHLY Entertaining! :D When i need to see something cool AND get a chuckle... I come to your vidz! :D

Watching these makes me want to drop a scale and do some 1/72 armour, entertaining as always!

I'm pretty sure that your buddy is going to want his model back when you are done. Thanks for the tips

As always your exhausts really 'pop', and the technique is so simple. All the various stages are making the tank look lived in.

My Saturday morning addiction. Outstanding as always mate. G’day from Australia

I enjoy your videos for the lol factor, as much as the tips & how to's. Excellent work as always.

Čím dál tím lepší! Díky za ukázky malých i velkých tanků!

The tank looks amazing! I’ve learned soo much from your vids!!

Hey Uncle NS I must thank you for your fantastic videos. Great editing, and modeling tips. As for stowage, I think you are ready to start adding it more regularly to your kits. It serves several functions, it mixes angular shapes with organic, when done well it can create contrasting textures to the look, and finally it makes the tank feel more singular and lends a feeling of specific personality to the subject. Keep up the great work! in model building as well as video creation.

I love the sound of your voice and the dialect is very relaxing. Thank you for those nice technical videos I will watch them while my next painting session.

I can not understand how this video about this great work and tips can have 3 dislikes, thanks for sharing, great inspiration for me.

Finally, I finished my E-75 today

Stowage can make a very competent looking model into an outstanding looking model. The best part about stowage is you can shove just about whatever you want on the vehicle

Dear Uncle Night Shift, another splendid tutorial & very inspirational! Kind Regards Johnny

thank you so much for these step by step on your process, thanks to this I was able to paint my first model tank ever! much love to you man!

Great detail, the overall effects are looking great, thanks for the tips!!

Stunning, perfect work. ☘️

Love your videos!! Keep up the good work and your great sense of humour!! Greetings from Portugal.

Very impressive work! The things I work with are larger and less detailed, but I think your techniques will still be very effective on them. I look forward to checking out some of your other videos.

Wonderful 😃

As always, I’ve enjoyed your video! Nice job on the tarp!

Thank you , Martin .

Good stuff this project is looking amazing...

very good video! love it! amazing effects, congratulations!

great video as always mate filled with helpful tips and techniques. I would love to see you do more stowage cause that is an area that I struggle at and I know you could show me alot of good tips and techniques cause I have learned alot from your videos. Thanks so much for all the great stuff you have showed us you by far have the BEST channel

The tarp was legit. Great video!

Im so impressed by your work again, coz thats 1/72 not 1/35, really amazing, so realistic

"Let's get this show on the road." That sounds familiar...where did I hear that before....🤔😁😊. Thanks for another great video, the KV looks awesome.

Superb. As usual. Thank you. Tony

I love this model and i love your content.Keep up the great work please.

Yeah definitely add some stowage, I always think it provides a nice color contrast to the rest of the vehicle.

Love your work, inspiring stuff, Thanks :)

that trap looks pretty good, the tank is looking awesome.

I really love your videos! Your funny 😃

dear night shift you have helped me with my models so much thank you

Good as allways

The tarp looks good

Love it, man! I'm always up for another Night Shift video. Lots of great stuff to absorb in this one... or any of them for that matter. All the best Martin!!

It looks great, i love it! And the tarp doesnt look bad at all, but i have a tip about it and fabric over all: I think the tarp looks kinda wet, and that is because the dark shade is too dark. When fabric gets wet, the wet parts gets darker than the normal color. And when the bright color was added, it created an even stronger contrast, making the dark parts feel even darker. Im a concept artist and illustrator, not a model builder(yet lol) but the same "rules" still applies, so its good to know :) Anyways it still looks great, just wanted to share my thoughts! And btw, thanks to you i will start building tanks as soon as i get my next paycheck..! lol

Gotta keep that rust under-control bois, Great vid as always!

Waiting whole fucking week for this! Thanks unlce Night Shift!

I've used that deck tan paint at 13:00. I had the same glossy effect.

Artistically, green with orange-red tones makes the model look much nicer because they compliment each other really well. So, if you want to apply rust tones over green like in this case, one could easily understand that it just looks amazing. It's a legitimate reason anyways. Personally, I'm not a big fan of rust if the tank is currently being used its purposes, but if it was abandoned/badly maintained after a good few years, I can dig it, definitely. Yet again, amazing work, lad. Rock on.

Awesome! Спасибо, всё очень подробно и интересно, как всегда! :D

Beautiful!! Good job! :)

Love your work man. I think it would be great if at the end of the video you could show a before and after comparison of model. Would really show what a difference the technique your showing makes.

😮😮😮😮😮😮 how did you know I was thinking about that primer red fuel cap?!?! Uncle Nightshyamalan can read minds too?!

Great work... we need more vids and longer ones. :D

lol came for the painting...stayed for the bloopers hahaha good stuff

watched at the office, now I need to painT now, excellent job man !!!!

Nice!

Vallejo Model Color drying to a satin finish is quite common I'm afraid. For some colors more than others. Great work btw.!

thanks and for a future video you should building a zvezda german pz.Iv AUSF H FOR YOUR IS-2

Truly impressive, stunning details...and technique!

Nice tarp

IF you decide to do rolled tarps or bed rolls, experiment with wet tissue paper. I have made rolled and folded tarps with facial tissues ( like for blowing your nose ). Experiment rolling different thicknesses for different effect; fold and/or roll in miniature like it were real cloth or canvas. Bundles and rolls can be tied with a tiny bit of thread (Think Rope). Next spray a little water on the rolled "tarp" Gently paint the tarp with a thin solution of acrylic paint (the color you want the tarp to be). Once the paint is dry, the tissue paper is pretty stiff and looks like miniature canvas. Did that make any sense?

It looks unbelievable compared to how you got it

Saved this video for a good to-watch-when-drinking-coffee. Totally worth it 👌

Cudownie !!! I look forward to the chapter of the tracks ... I always paint them already assembled and I always paint them badly.

Love this vid ....... I’ve run out of excuses for my mistakes lol ....... fred

Ankl najt šift hir !😅👍

Oh, what a twist! Great video, thank you :) What are your thoughts about using clear colors from AK Real series for periscopes? P.S. Yes, more stowage please!

Really excited about the track Video, i wonder: how will uncle nightshift finish the tracks without damaging the outstanding paintjob of the tank hull? Great work!

Another Masterclass. I have a question, how clean your paint palette?, always is perfect :)

Love the longer vidz, jedi at work again, o uncle night shift when's the face reviel?

Hi Martin! Can you maybe do some modern Tank with Nato camo + weathering? :)

Hi Uncle - KV really coming along nicely; all that fine work, you can forget that this is Braille Scale 1/72.... Would that AK retarder work with other paint other than Mig/Ammo/AK? Looking forward to tracks.

The level of detail is amazing, especially considering the tiny scale of the model. Do you use some kind of magnifying glass or goggles, or is your vision just that good? I used to do a lot of modeling and figure painting, but now I'm old and even with glasses, it just doesn't work very well. 😏

Question: Does the paint that we use for chipping needs to be thinned or nah? Let's say Tamiya paint.

Its all coming together ❤️. Do you have a Facebook group for modelling? Or can you recommend one?

Painting small details is so hard. I think sometimes I felt your pain :)

Great job man! But on KV exhaust in this armored steel covers. That you painted like an exhaust.

Wouldn't there be oily exhaust stains on the deck?

Doesn't it make sense to chip and add rust effects on a winter tank because if the steel was ever exposed it would begin rusting due to the water or snow?

your weathering techniques are amazingly good. I have been trying for years to get just half as good as your works... why not do a 1/16 scale R/C tanks?

That model is the first model I ever made

Hello Martin, what compressor can you recommend for a beginner, and in what price range, in euros, should it be? I'd like to buy one for a future airbrush use and to dust my computer. Thanks in advance.

What if I don't grab myself some snacks or a drink? What'll you do about it? Overload rust effects on winter camo?

What brand of Super glue de-bonder do you use?

Night Shift, Question, would it be better to paitn the chipping and rust prior to snow effects?

I always have some amount of stowage because this is their home. I mean, just look at all the stuff I carry in my trunk. :) But I don't know if Soviet crews were allowed to be pack-rats.

10th guy!

PATREON GANG WHERE U AT!

I only have one question: Why the Shyamalan reference? xD Also Vallejo paints tend to do weird shit when they dry. I have this dark grey colour you mention and it's completely unusable because it just dries completely gloss.

Great entertainment in these days of intergalactic mega blasts and Corona Bologna. That cloth, methinks some real material there that would show a weave, or sculpt your stuff into that shape, then remove to work on separately, where you could press some fabric pattern into it, and even fuzz it up slightly. Your final color on it doesn't register with me. I'm a new very big fan of your videos.
