Hey mates, don't wanna be a debbie downer, but that Tiger from this video... I won't finish it anytime soon :( It would be one of those massive projects and I wouldn't have time for that right now. But don't be sad, there are German cats and other animals coming to this channel in the near future!!! Some of them small, others quite big... :)
Good stuff. I used a woodburning iron many many years ago- it ran cooler than a soldering iron so the plastic is less likely to burn and the melted plastic looks more like deformed armor.
@@IcyMike5.7 , a few times I shot a model with an air rifle from my bedroom window into the back yard, this made great holes with cracked armour damage, but don't tell my mum.
Pure genius! Got in this rabbit hole coz I want to build a diorama as a gift, I only paint rpg and board game miniatures, but I spent the last week or so only watching modeling videos. You guys are true masters!
Right? This is what you do to the plastic to show that it's been destroyed- the "burnt out" part is what you would do with various paints and textures for rust, soot, rubber ash, paint distressed from heat, etc. Best way to replicate that is lots and lots of real life reference photos.
Awesome video!!! I love how you make so many aspects of this hobby so simple for even new model builders. This really allows for maximum control -from size, placement, texture, no guesswork or luck involved. Well done.
Martin. Tamiya putties seem to contain acetone. You could use it for this sort of clean-up you mention in this video. And also when the putty hardens in the tube. Just add a drop or two of acetone into the tube, mix it in with say a toothpick and you're ready to go. Saves a lot of money. And BTW I really enjoy your wonderful videos.
Hello Martin, Just used this video to create 2cm Flak 30 shell/anti-tank impacts on the big armor shield, small armor shield and on a fender. Turned out pretty well, I think, thanks to you. Love your videos. Keep up the great work!!
When I used to build Gundam models I would sometimes used a soldering iron to burrow battle scars into their shields and armor. The benefit of using the soldering iron is the displacement of plastic that looks a bit more like actual impacts on metal. Also adding a bit of rust color to some of the holes gives the impression of a vehicle that's been through several battles.
That peppered Tiger reminds me of a post war photo from Sharpness fireing range where AP rounds were being tested. A second photo showed the effect of a round pierceing the left hull side and blowing a large section of the right hull side onto the muddy ground with various squadies standing around. Diorama idea?.
@Ray Moyes zinoviy kolobanov's kv1 tht took 150+ shots in one day was pretty interesting too, dunno if their's a picture of it. mark felton did a video on em
Im amazed to see so many comments asking about stuff that is actually IN the video. Maybe you should finish this cinematic work of art before commenting stupid stuff. Great work as always Martin!
I don't know ... but it seems to me that in future competitions we will see many tanks looking like French cheese, and perfectly reproduced. Great tutorial my friend!
Simply Brilliant! I so enjoy your channel. You not only have some great skill, but you do an excellent job of clearly and simply articulating the steps to achieve the result. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and skill with other modellers on TH-cam. Dan
I really get a lot out of your videos...And like the way u do it with some humor to make it more fun. I'm loyal subscriber after only 2 videos. And I don't even build that many tanks. Hell, I haven't built anything in almost a year. I guess this was the inspiration I was looking for. Thank you
I never even considered getting into scale modelling until these vids. These techniques look really fun. Will try to recreate with greenstuff since that is what I have lying around.
Thank you...! This should help a lot for a model which I'm displaying as destroyed (mostly to cover up the fact that it's an open-topped vehicle and yet the manufacturers declined to give it an interior nor any crew)
That was awesome Martin! I've never seen it done this way. Great technique and I'll have to give it a try sometime. Damn... you're full of creative ideas. Cheers!
Right? So accustomed to the soldering iron or other "hot nail" style techniques. I've used a drill for small caliber stuff in thin sheet metal. But this is brilliant!!
The way I usually do this is with a hobby knife, because I'm too damn lazy to go buy a drill. It has the benefit of creating really uneven holes and scratching the hell out of the panel, which both help make it a lot more interesting I think. I definitely like your technique better though.
Oh also, i have a suggestion: For the soldering part, you could just use a spare/unused/useless screwdriver and just heat it up, acts like a solder but with more risk.
I take needle heads in different sizes, heat them up an can now draw bounces or shell hits directly in to the plastic. It will melt around and gives a perfect edge.
Nice video, as always! This is actually the primary method that I use, but it's nice to see I'm not alone in it. Now I just need to find the time to finish all the projects I've been doing it to, lol.
That is an excellent idea. I've been planning to do some of these on my T29E3 for a while. Maybe this will finally convince me to buy a drill/pin vice :D
@@NightShiftScaleModels 95% of it comes from new views on videos I uploaded years ago...and that was never my motivating factor for making the videos regardless. I actually despise the pressure that would give me. I'm just trying to have fun and share my passion with the videos. But having fun was hard after the last couple of frustrating builds...
@@Panzermeister36 Interesting! My main motivation when starting this channel was to be more productive and try a different platform. So far I feel pretty productive compared to 1 model per year that I used to do before, but I feel you with those frustrating projects. I felt kinda like that when finishing the KV-220-2
When I was pre-teen, I did gunshot holes with a sewing needle and a flame. I had no other tools to use, and the $2.00 price of the model made affording other tools impossible.
Cant wait for the Tiger build! Awesome tutorial! Always nice to watch your videos - i always find another really nice method of achieving a certain effect!
Have you tried using a magnifying glass or binocular lens , and waiting for a sunny day , this makes quite acceptable shell holes , you can melt and pierce . Take it easy though !! Yours look excellent . Wales UK.
Back in the early 70's when I made models, used a hot wire. It created the hole and the plastic would shrink away in a similar way to an impact. I started this by using a sparkler and its hot wire.

Martin you absolute legend! Thanks for posting this video :D now I can get creative with my armor vehicles now lol.
How bout an Armourdillo 😂😂😂😂😂???
What about exit holes? Sometimes shells went through without detonating
This is the first time i hear about the hobby🤔
I have absolutely no idea why this was recommended to me. But I watched it, and you are really talented.
He had a big impact on your point of view lol.
Great and entertaining video to watch! I recommended it to my 40k friends to snazz up their vehicles.
Same shit ) and it was interesting )
i watch War Thunder videos, for me it makes sense but i dont know why too
I love when TH-cam just randomly decides to throw random videos into people's recomend. But I do like to see some talented people!
The exact same happened to me
*Tank Driver:* Sir, the treads fell apart on that last hit. We're sitting ducks!
*Commander:* Just clean it up with some liquid cement.
Or you could use a small repair kit they're only 3000 silver coins
Or just wait for the large repair kit to do it's thing, or just use it, not like they cost gold anymore
*use the parts modification because I don't play world of tanks enough to be smart*
@@AtrociousAK47 *gets Parts and FPE, laughs in War Thunder*
Huh. And here i was just using an Anti-tank gun. My mistake.
Yeah, it tends to leave a bit more damage than you'd like...
Change to using Anti-Aircrafts
Like the flak 88
@@kayagorzan Noooo no no, you see we're talking tanks here, clearly you don't use AA guns for AT purposes, the Germans were just quite silly

So that natural progression after this would be a tutorial on a burnt out vehicle!!!

I don’t always watch videos about scale modeling...but when I do, I watch Night Shift.
No one:
Me at 3am: Ok I guess I’ll binge this channel for the next two and a half hours.
when the B rush was too intense to hold off
when the entire team goes a in wt but their team goes c

Watching man destroying models
also me: never made a model in his life and has the artistic skill of a left handed 3 yr old
Aleš Doležal goddamit it’s actually 520 for me
Get an original comment.
I enjoyed both the video, great tutorial indeed and the accent too, it's very nice to hear such a clear pronunciation every now and then these days.
Got to be the best modelling channel on youtube..Could you do a tutorial on how to paint these impacts..maybe one old with rust and another fresh
Dan
Awesome tip and video as always mate. You give me something to look forward to on Friday mornings a video from one of the world's best modelers.
That like 1 second shot of that O-I Superheavy looked amazing

Friday beers and a Night Shift video. Enough said
I've seen zimmerit on the side armour plate. I definetely looking forward for the upcoming video :D
Fantastic video tutorial thank you for sharing it with us!
Very convincing technique! Great stuff Martin. :)
This is great. I love the way you explain and present these videos. Well done, and thank you.
This was just what i was looking for, im going to do these on my 1:35 panther.
Uncle night shift.....my new favorite channel. You’ve inspired me to get my first get kit. Would love to see some allied powered tanks!!
Just discovered your channel and I have to say your commentary is the best Keep up the good work
Nothing is better then celibrate weekend with a night shift video
Thanks for another great video, Martin, it was very informative. Have a great weekend.
Brilliant, Martin... thank you. The idea for using the putty is a game changer. 👍👍
Not only a model, but a testament to history.
I knew my Tamiya Basic putty would be useful some time.
All jokes aside, thank you very much for sharing man. This is an amazing technique.
Wow that's some awesome detail.
The way I usually do this is with a hobby knife, because I'm too damn lazy to go buy a drill. It has the benefit of creating really uneven holes and scratching the hell out of the panel, which both help make it a lot more interesting I think. I definitely like your technique better though.
But you are not too lazy to go buy new blades? Best tool for the job yields the best result.
I plan to get into gunplay and or tank modeling like this so I find your videos very helpful
My favorite part was the ricochet sound effect when making the angled shot. More please.
That one bounced.
Oh also, i have a suggestion: For the soldering part, you could just use a spare/unused/useless screwdriver and just heat it up, acts like a solder but with more risk.
Wow! I just usually used a dremal tool but this is a great way!!! I’ll definitely use this method 😉
Catching up on older vids :) these are so entertaining and informative
I've been waiting for this for so long, thank you so much
I have used a magnifying glass (and the sun) before , super quick and can look good for glancing shots .
I always pick up something useful from your vids mate, keep em coming !
I just “stronk tenk”ed the video, when is the painting and weathering this bounce effect?
Me: Depressed.
Nightshift: Fix it with some liquid cement!
you: hurrdurr
treat yourself
martin yhou are a crazy dude. I love your intros and comments, sound effects etc. You rock keep it up
I take needle heads in different sizes, heat them up an can now draw bounces or shell hits directly in to the plastic. It will melt around and gives a perfect edge.
Wait, your telling me my lighter & coat hanger wire methods are done🥺
Back to my BB gun & firecrackers 😳
A needle and a lighter or candle too lol
I wonder if firing a pellet gun at the model would work :)
I’ve fired a pellet gun at a model, if it’s thick they most likely make the inside break, in a HESH type shell way, it won’t turn out nicely.
5:48 "im sorry this clip is blurry"
Me watching in 240p: what do you mean?
Helpful, interesting and FUN!! Thanks for posting!!
I've been adding battle damage to models for some time but this video gave me a few extra tricks.
Thank you for this video there are so many ways you can use and vary this technique.
It's friday. First thing I do while going hone from work is to watch uncle Night Shift doing his magic
guess i know what I'm doing to my T-34 I've been working on. Thanks Martin great tutorial as always.
