My First Real Attempt At Painting Stowage (Gone Serious) | M4A3E8 Sherman Easy 8 | Tamiya 1/48

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 28 มิ.ย. 2024
- It's time to face my stowagephobia and paint my first pile of stowage (and all the obligatory details like engineering tools and some extra chipping). The occasional tarp painted with oil paints like we did on this channel before doesn't really count as stowage, so this is gonna be my first serious experience! (WET PALETTE ORDERED).

The concrete looks even better now! Well done uncle Nightshift
Few bullet impacts in the concrete would look good.
I didn't think about adding shrapnel damage while I was building the model. It would be rather risky adding them now, my bad!
@@NightShiftScaleModels what glue do you use for your models
Captain_badland it looks like mainly mr cement s with superglue for small and non plastic parts and also ca glue for non plastic parts. He sometimes will use many others from Tamiya and more brands
instablaster...
When Mr. Nightshift says '' some few things '' it will be actually TONS and TONS of things
Almost British levels of understatement ^_^ .
I love how that concrete looks! It looks so realistic with the tiny chips.
I have never seen a military crate (and I was in the US Army fro many years) without extensive stenciled printing, describing the contents of the box. I use dry transfers. It's a great detail and adds a lot to the look.
Very true. I wanted to try adding a few inscriptions with black paint and a paintbrush, but the results would probably be... variable to say the least. Any recommendations for a good dry transfer set?
@@NightShiftScaleModels Archer transfers would be the best option.
Who says that they are definitely military crates though..? OK, military issue crates do have more data stamps on them than a pizza box - YES, BUT if the crew 'liberated' a blue oil can from a farm or garage, maybe they liberated some boxes of tempting civilian 'stuff' also..?
@@NightShiftScaleModels Verlinden used to offersets of dry-transfer stencils for US Vehicles. The text is so small that it's unreadable, but it looks good; so it works for any Latin-based language. On vehicles or boxes. They can still be found on eBay. I built up a stash... Archer has some, too.
@@NightShiftScaleModels Cartograf does some amazing stuff, really depends on who is driving that tank.

"I didn't have CONCRETE evidence for that"
Well played
I love when when you upload, even though I'm not going to be painting my models anytime soon, it's nice to watch and learn how to paint them, it's also really interesting to watch, keep it up! :)
oh, I hope you'll be back at the workbench soon!
Thinning with tap water is going to be very dependent on the hardness of your local tap water.
right, so I can consider myself lucky if I haven't noticed any difference
As someone in a particularly hard water area, I'll have to experiment a bit.
@@NightShiftScaleModels I have really hard water. So hard in fact that you get limestone rims on anything that the water sits on.
So distilled water works a treat for mixing paint. Much better than tap water.
As a stowage maniac, I’m proud of you, Night Shift.
Also is it just me or does the Sherman mantlet look like the tank is insane?
This tenk big mad
"I... see~ Dead Ti~gers..."
Watched the channel to pick up weathering techniques for gunpla and found the channel itself and the techniques so interesting that it's forced me to buy a tank model to try them on lol
I think all such modellers make a very serious mistake in weathering. These tanks are brand new! They are months old. Yet they get covered in decades worth of rust. Completely unrealistic. I think because they have lost perspective, these vehicles are brand new!
Distilled water is purified (boiled) and has less minerals, resulting in more consistent results.
right, so it's the safest way to achieve good results, regular tap water can be a hit or miss depending on where you live
Watching you work is like a "Zen" experience. Great way to unwind after a hard week's work. Less of a hangover than the pub..🤔🇬🇧
Everyone's a general, after the battle is over... you don't know just how true that is. Great job.
Great video!! Best tank modeler I know!!👍🏻❤️
Imagine clicking super fast on the video?
I can relate
Waited for half an hour for the video to drop
They use distilled water cause it does not have the minerals in it unlike tap water, it's basically clean microscopically
but why is that better?
@@R_Turbo_Rider if the water has too many minerals in it the paint can get chalky when it dries.
Correct.
Some places actually add things like floride, minimal amounts of chlorine and calcium.
Chlorine if the amount is great enough will discolor paint even when the paint is dry.
Just like chlorine in the water is the reason you are supposed to use distilled water to top up lead acid batteries and radiators because it also pitts metals.
so regular tap water can be perfectly fine or pretty much useless depending on where you live. similar to how I advised to add liquid soap if you want to dilute Tamiya paints with tap water, and many people told me they never experienced the same problems I did.
Chemist here: Besides being free from minerals that also means it is neutral in polarity, which means that pigments wont cling to one another due to static charge.
That's what the pros say too. That said, I've never been able to tell the diffrence.
You can blend acrylics. It is how I do figures too and any stowage. Look up wet blending.
Easily my favourite modelling channel!
Just thought id drop in a reason for why weld beads dont corode, (they do just differently) the reason lies in the type of weld, all these welds were done with a stick welder, which uses a rod coated in a material that, when heated up in the welding process, forms something that is effectively glass, this is done to protect the weld from oxygen as it cools to prevent porosity (the weld being shitty), this glass is then broken off with a hammer and scrapped away, however, a very thin layer remains on the surface of the weld, and this protects it from oxygen and water, so it corodes slower over all, there are other reasons, most to do with the type of metal used in welding filaments, both then and today, but thats the rough spark notes and what I was taught when I was younger, hope that helps, or was at least interesting.
keep up the great work Martin.

Well, I should not be surprised that the usual Uncle Nighty makeover can make even a Sherman look amazing.
Please do a tank with rubber tracks for once, i have to see your approach to it.
I really needed this video for my stowage for my 1/35 Sherman 105 Thanks ;)
Turns out stowage can be quite fun :)
Stowage is my favorite thing to paint. we are opposites. it looks great
Not gonna lie, it's very enjoyable!
I believe that in many areas 'tap water' includes various impurities, calcium, iron, etc. Especially if you're water comes directly from a well. All of those particles could effect you paint...
Stowage does a lot to make a model look unique. I'm glad to see you are finally dabbling in a little stowage action. Great video as usual, looking forward to the next!
I love watching these for the cool looking techniques and painting style. Personally I paint Warhammer 40k models but I prefer doing them in this more "realistic" look, probably never gonna happen but I'd love to see Uncle Night Shift do something like a Death Guard Plagueburst Crawler but treating it like it was a REAL tank! He'd be able to have fun showing off all the weathering, rusting, grime and all those other fun mucky techniques of his with something like that! :D
Just got back off holiday to find a load of TH-cam videos from my favorite subscriptions waiting for me to watch. I left the best til last and have just watched uncle Night Shift tarting up this Sherman in such a realistic way. Great videos as always! Luvit!
YES more videos means more happiness.
I would love to see you build the Revell 1:35 tiger 2 because you would defenitly make it beautiful, just as a suggestion for a longer series
Dont use the word "revell" in uncle nightshifts comments. Revell=bad luck
Isn't the Revell KT just reboxed Zvezda kit? The one in 35th scale, not the 72nd one, that's definitely from their own molds.
@@NightShiftScaleModels not sure? But yeah I think they've borrowed their moulds from zvezda in other kits
You and Alpay Efe both uploading within the same day? Brilliant! Love your videos, keep up the good work!
Martin... Wet palette: get a shallow lidded box like a candy box. Plastic or such. A layer of kitchen towel paper or a kitchen sponge. Wet it. Add pergamin paper. Wet palette. Also add a copper or brass rod to keep the mold away.
Also with acrylic paints check out wet blending. Miniac, Squidmar and Trovarion have great vids on wet blends. :) love this tank of yours. I'd love to see you try your hand on an M60 Patton or the newest Abrams :)
This guy is obviously a pro and dare I say a master modeler. The way he narrates while each process is being cared out, is extremely entertaining and informative!! I definitely look forward to each and every new addition to TH-cam, which he uploads.
why is this stuff so relaxing?, i always have to watch twice because i fall asleep the first time
Not bad for a noob. As a professional miniature painter, I can tell you that you're doing a very good job. Kudos.
Could you possibly build a Canadian grizzly next
Its gonna be a good friday...
It is impossible not to watch it to the end. Many thanks!
Uncle nighshift, you can make a wet pallet very easily by getting a flat container. put some paper towel on the bottom and wet it. next get some parchment paper and lay it over top of the wet paper towel. it works great!!!! keeps my acrylics going for a very long time.
I had a ghetto wet palette like that in the past :) Unfortunately it wasn't very practical, too big and thus I didn't use it very often. The one I mentioned in this video already arrived and it's very neat! It's sitting right on top of the metal palette right now, always at hand.
@@NightShiftScaleModels nice can't wait to see you use it!
You have encouraged me to start doing models again. I have learned a ton from your videos.
What brush do you use for your chipping?
Glad to hear that! It's Vallejo Kolinsky 000
, "tarp sensei", 😂, so cool, stowage looks first class, hope my 1:35 easy eight stowage turns out that good 👍😊
Stowage looks great! Glad the video is out, waited all week for this!
Ooh, the beige!!
I'm always blown away by the quality of these videos. Obviously the modelling/painting is excellent, but it's clear that a lot of effort has also gone into choice of shots, lighting, quality of audio, and the editing. It's awesome! Keep it up!
Good morning Uncle Nightshift, greeting from Canada.
And good evening from Slovakia :)
@@NightShiftScaleModels Cheers for Slovakia! Thanks for sharing your excellent work, make Friday even better:)
Superbly painted stowage, absolutely brilliant.
Hands down my favourite TH-camr. Keep up the good work!
Wow, the best learning effect. Each Video teaches me more! Well done mate!
I don't intend on getting into tank modeling, but your vids have given me a whole lot of ideas for Warhammer 40k.
A great result Uncle. I can never seem to get my tarps and stowage right, but you have given me a few tips here to try. Love the channel, so keep them coming please!
Thanks for this video! These tools and stowage really are a great addition to armored vehicles, I'll definitely test it out asap.
this channel inspired me to get back into scale modelling. thank you
Wargame painter, here, common order of operations when painting (well, much of anything but especially) cloth and other drape-y materials-
- Darkest color as an undercoat, your deepest shadows and darkest desires tend to show through multiple layers of acrylic, even if it's subtle.
- slowly build up layers, lightening things and covering a little less surface each time, to make your gradients. Dry-brushing isn't required, but damn does it help.
- your second-to-final color is usually a very thin dry-brush of what will probably be what prints as the tarp/cape/flag's color in people's minds, because it simulates where the light is hitting the most: flat spots, major raised areas, and so on.
- last but not least, something significantly brighter than that, on edges, any sharp corners, and sometimes (if you want it to look satin-y or the like) in streaks to simulate added, intense reflections of the light.
Most of us are typically going for something with a sort of comic-book look for our miniatures, looking less like a photograph and more like we could imagine Judge Dredd punching a dude next to the model and it not looking too terribly out of place.
OMG you NEED to get a warthunder sponsor and put this tank in the game. Please people like this I really want this in the game
Honestly, my wife and I were very impressed! Please keep up the good work!
It's good to see another's technique. Thank you.
Hey Uncle! Love your videos. Really useful. I am 40k wargamer but always try to paint my minis in more "realistic" way. One thing that would be super useful if you could tackle one day: painting black vehicle (tank especially) with some chipping and weathering. I know there is not many exaples of that out there in the nature, but I would love to see how military scale modeller approaches that topic.
*happiness noises*
'Can't blend Acrylic' look up wet blending @Night shift! You'll be amazed what you can do.
If you want to create thin washes for brush painting with acrylics then Glaze Medium will solve all your problems with water 👍
Wow Martin great work as always. I have learned a lot from you and this video.
Finally you finished it, I waited so much
I’ve just started getting into models and these videos get me excited for when I start with tanks
I like the wood effects on the boxes
Night shift: "Texture is my most used word."
Also Night Shift: "Aka"
Awesome video! :D
Great looking concrete and great looking stowage. Thank You for the video! ;)
Fantastic paint job!
You have done a great job on the stowage. Great work on the model all round.
I LOVE the stowage! It looks excellent!
Another great video keep it up my guy!
Wow! You are so incredibly skilled! Please keep making those awesome videos. I love them and they help me a lot with my models.
Greetings from Munich,Germany
Turned out great!
You inspired me to start building models myself. Tomorrow my T-62 from Trumpeter will be here 😍
awesome job Uncle!
Looking so awesome! I like how simply using the same colors but mixing up the order and the amounts created such variations in the tarps and wooden crates. The blue can adds some awesome little punch of contrast and story to the tank and its crew.
Also unless people are having tap water come out of their sink with chunks of calcium and deposits of rust or whatever, if you don't notice a difference then does it really matter? Even IPMS judges do not take out their microscope. But I don't know, I've never met an Ex Soviet IPMS judge. I am pretty sure the people that "demand" it to be distilled are the same people that are going to be arguing in the comments about the proper 1944 field applied concrete color based on the types of aggregate available in Europe at the time...
I’m loving this series...
Love the Sherman. Keep the American tanks coming with an Abrams next! I think a more modern change would be good for a quick series
The reason for distilled water is that some people have trouble with "hard" water. Or, in other words, water that has excess minerals etc. in it. That type of water can cause clouding or worse; can change the hue of the paint. If you don't have that issue, tap water is fine. If you are a purist, distilled water isn't all that expensive. Good job on the tools.
MARTIN!!!! You are TOOO good. Its almost upsetting how good you are lol.
Great job uncle Nightshift
Thank you , Uncle Martin .
Thanks foe a another great video and more new techniques to try
Really enjoying this one
Looks awesome. 👍👍👍👍
tarp sensei life goals
You do a better job with a 48th scale vehicle than I could with a 16th scale ha ha. Awesome as always dude. Great job with the stowage!
Glass on the hatch looks great.
I always enjoy your video. The concrete texture is very nice. I also think storage painting looks like figure painting, especially using highlight and shadow.
Looking good!
If the 3d printed wet palette doesn't work out then consider getting the Army Painter one. It is cheap and works well for the cost. If you aren't working with acrylics that often you don't need anything fancy.
You're a damn modeling wizard mate!
You can blend acrylics it's called wet blending, there are lots of methods you can use. There are also lots of mediums you can use to help and improve the look and effects.
The tarps look so goood!
Great work, my friday friend!!!!
Very well done
I've never seen tap water be a problem when painting with acrylics, but then I've only been using them for about 40 years. 8-)
The biggest thing to watch out for with acrylics is adding too much water, because that can interfere with the polymerization of the acrylic monomers. If you need lots of thinning, consider using an acrylic fluid medium (matte or gloss, depending on your other preferences) or airbrush medium instead of some of the water.
Also, while commercial wet palettes are convenient, they don't work all that much better than a plate with paper towels and some baking parchment.
Love the barn find oilcan Unc. TFS, G :)
Holy crap that stowage looked nice at the end
great job congratulations
Your method for doing three tone highlighting is a new one to me. I just used to paint the shadow, then the base coat and then the highlight. However I like how you did it so I’m gonna give it a try on my next miniature and see how it goes. Once again I’ve learned something new from you!
Awesome work, I learned a few tips :)
It looks really good!
Just one suggestion for improvement in the future: stowage needs to be tied down. Those tarps should have ropes or straps over the top to hold them down.
