Legit Desert Weathering With Enamels (No Pigments) | Crusader Mk 3 | Tamiya 1/48 

Most people like friday because that's when the weekend starts, I like friday because that's when night shift uploads

Hello my friends, I hope you enjoyed this series! There are actually going to be 2 videos about the vignette because I made a small, but quite complex detail for it! The video will drop next Friday as usual :)

Nothing is better than Night Shift on friday evening.

How to get perfect autumn evening: 1. watch Uncle Night Shift 2. well, that's all i need

-What kind of theory is it? Uncle Nightshift: "A MOdELiNG ThEoRY!"

Everyone gangsta till the Crusader goes on a crusade

The New one is Jagdtiger!

Night shift just casually popping open that mud from Tunisia that he’s stored for years 😂 love it Also amazing work that is a beautiful model

Uncle Night Shift be like: "I've got a jar of dirt!"

"Hey you know what this model needs? Some genuine fricking quality dirt from Tunisia!!!"

Uncle Nighty Jones and the Final Crusader!!!! Starring: Weatherson Muddery and Grimey Rusterson. Directed By Rusty Wash

I wish I could do something like that

Night Shift's new product line: Authentic Battlefield Dirt.

It looks very... dusty👌

I would love to see you do a Panzer grey model from the early part of WWII. not a lot of people do them and I think its a niche some people could use help with in painting models.

I'd love to see a Pz III or Pz IV done this well! You, sir, are one of the best modelers on this site and I look forward to every video you post.

Now do desertised Challenger tank 🙂 the best tank ever.

You know the weekend is off to a good start when there's a new Night Shift video! Looks fantastic. Great work. Nice vid thanks for sharing.

Next step after this true piece of art integration of figurines, they give live to battle vehicles. Without they looked like robot, but there where peoples living inside of these monsters.

*A lot of technics on this beautiful model, it's a habit with Uncle NS! 👍👏*

The rust effect on your gloves looks better than anything I could do

Was fun watching you make this one. I made the Crusader in Call of Duty II and I kept flashing back to making it while watching this series. I know this tank so well as it was my first fully normal mapped model in the game. I agree it's an awesome tank. Makes me realize I need to build this kit! Great work as usual.

One of the best desert weathering 'how to's' that I've ever watched.... no scratch that - The BEST, and now I'm a subscriber !! Very best from New Zealand.

Real nice Martin. I had fun with the T-34/122 I did on my channel as well. I love desert vehicles and those dusty campaigns. Looking forward to see what’s in store for the base.😊

Guitar strings make great tow cables, antennas, interior & exterior details like piping, conduit, grab handles, etc.

The British often had pennants on their antennas in the Desert . Nice job..I'm ready for the base.

yey always a treat to see night shift video! you work best when you do those meticulous details love that you used actual tunisian sand wow

Truly amazing. The photo realism is next level. Thank you for your time and sharing this.

Absolutely beautiful, I could watch you do your weathering techniques over and over, I learn something new in each of your videos. Thank you for all your instruction.

I am painting vehicles for wargaming in the North Africa theater (1:56). I am watching this at the same time and I am now weeping with Pinterest envy (literally). Thank you so much for sharing this beautiful work of art.

I watched this build all the way through to this point. It is absolutely beautiful! Superb job!!

Brilliant end result, as always!

Recently I started making a Matilda in North Africa and this helped me get an idea on how much weathering I should have so thank you!

A beautiful result Uncle! I learnt a few new tricks watching you build this one from start to finish, and can’t wait to try them on my own humble efforts. Looking forward to the next project. Cheers from Australia!

Absolutely love that, my favourite of your builds so far👍

Congratulations on another beautiful video. We are always here to listen. Strong hug

That is one good looking crusader. You nailed that thing! Well done! Deus Vult!

Love your videos, Uncle. Can't wait to see what you do with the base!

Ending up looking totally amazing, no surprise there. I'd love to see you tackle an artillery piece like the WW1 big Bertha or the Leopold railway gun

This is my personal favorite model of yours! Great tank and great looking model!

Excellent work as usual!

Another great project. Keep up the inspiring Uncle Knight Shift.

Excellent overall finished effect. Thanks for posting.

Another quality video uncle night shift thanks for sharing 👍👍

Yay! Friday nights with Uncle Night Shift!

Awesome my friend as always

Awesome job as usual!

This is one of your best models yet

love you’re channel it got me back into armor modeling:))

Ooh... New uncle night shift video... Always a good time!

watching your videos is so satisfying and actually made me buy a few tank models for myself :D thanks for being awesome!

Outstanding Finish

i always watch your videos to the end... i love your channel, i learn a lot of stuff that would took years to me to findout and also your comments are super funny :D

Another great video my friend!!! 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Another crackin video buddy, thanks 😁👌

No doubt that you are one of the best model builders.

I always admire, how You explain your works. Great Crusader! ;) All the best for You! ;)

Dear Martin, Outstanding tutorial, very interesting and informative. Kind Regards Johnny

Another great one! While I´m just speechless of your skills, I want to make a few comments based on observations I made in North Africa including Tunisia. I went there for holidays with my 4x4 car and saw effects on it as well as on equipment left behind by oil companys, such as abandoned caterpillars and other things: 1.: Dust collects in the seamlines of vehicles very quickly, and it accumulates to a point that there is no shadow of the seamlines anymore. So if the colour of the dust is lighter than the base colour of the vehicle, it makes those seam lines look lighter. So the opposite of what we usually do with dark washes. A very light tone, sth 80% white and 20% iraqi-sand mix would fit as a wash. This happens not only in sandy desert conditions but in other very dry places too, i.e southern Hungary during summer if you drive on dusty roads for some time. 2.: Everything that is in moving motion with sand will get polished to the bare metal very quickly. This happend to the rims of my car in Tunisia. So I would think the outer surface of the tracks, a major part of their inner surface, and maybe even the road wheels of a tank. Frequent sand storms can even polish a whole vehicle. 3.: You did right in aplying rust. Rust forms from dew wich falls in the desert because of rather extreme temperature offsets. This means rust would mainly form on horizontal surfaces and barely on vertical ones.

The slappening got me lmao

That is one beautiful Crusader

Just when I thought it was bed time............... Nope! Uncle Night Shift!

amazing work! thanks for lessons!

Superb!

only motivation to get through the week is a new night shift video

awesome work. love your builds. one day i will get around to finishing the 4 i am building lol.

Beautiful

you kill me, bro. exquisite as per usual.

Its a shame this build has come to an end. Enjoyed watching you at your best. Look forward to seeing another one of your builds.

MARTIN!!!!! Beautiful

Thank you , Uncle Martin .

Indeed, another smoking model courtesy of my friend Uncle Night Shift. You too have an amazing weekend bruv! Cheers!

Loved the video. Most of my builds are WW11 European subjects.This gives me ideas for early WW11 builds

Great build (as always) I am in the progress of building the Thunder Model Scammell Tank Transporter in full desert glory (maybe even Caunter scheme) so will be watching these videos a few times as I progress in to painting... And yes a German Panzer Grey would be a good next build

Turned out great - you're the man! 😎 I would say, that when working in smaller scales, less is more. Trying to cram all the effects used in a bigger scale build, can be a bit much.

勉強になります！いつも楽しく見てます♪From 🇯🇵

Can I be so bold as to suggest/request...may we ever see a 1/16 model? I'd love to see what you do with larger scales where even more detail can be fit in :)

Watching Night Shift whilst working night shift.

Nice! Be good to see another 1/35.

Amazing.

Fantastic work, I've got 2 Crusaders in the stash ;)

Looks Groovy Unc. TFS, G :)

There are some small scrub bushes in Tunisia, so a couple spots of green plants aren't going to be unrealistic.

Cheers for the video bud :-)

P.s. Nice tip wiv the 'Real Dirt' Pigment work around, too.!! Sadly getting to Tunisia for a Pot of Dirt might be a little Difficult from Oz. ( even if we weren't all Locked Down. ) But Oz has Plenty of Dust n Dirt. In great variety of colour. Next Drive I'm taking Pots. ( Not Pot..!! 😜) Kim in Oz.😎

Good video as always, you are a modeling guru. (please make the Revell tiger 2 in 1/35 sometime)

Now my Last week of holydays is over :( PS Damn Great Job Agin and Thanks for providing us content Every week :)

Fridays - new episode of The Boys and Night Shift's new video.

Kua Maťo - jseš borec!!!

Please do a DAK Panzer III someday! Seems like the ultimate WWII desert afv. Great series of videos, thank you.

Ah yes. Perfection.

Great Martin... When you will go build a truck kit, man??? I wait for this build... you is a great modelist...

yaaay 1/35 scale, finally. Amazing job as always but I wonder if you could do a full interior vehicle ??

Watching ur videos had inspired me to start doing air models again. Plus are u planning of doing planes ship/boats etc in the future?

perfect

2:36 Wait a second, no astrophysics? Wrong channel I qeus. Great video btw

Nice, now i want one... It's british tech tree time in WT i guess.

Don't know if you saw a video of Panther and Panzer IV in mud in Normandy on a show. If not better check that out. Also great model, again.

In some cases I’ve seen thick opaque layers of dust that look like they are painted on, especially after a mountain bike ride in the desert

Cant wait to watch this series of videos! Love all the tanks. They look amazing! Just turned on to this channel and have a ton to watch. Can anyone point me to a good online store to buy these types of supplies ? I'm transitioning from painting miniatures to war models but need to find places to buy stuff like Vallejo metal colors. Wilder paints and other weathering supplies.
