HOW TO Paint Grease Stains & Polished Steel in Braille Scale (Char B1 bis 1/72 Trumpeter)

- Recreating grime, grease and other fluids is one of the finishing touches on armor models. If you're working in braille scale, you should be extra careful because it's very easy to lose control over these effects.
Polished steel and smoke effects are just icing on the cake. Let's finish this model together!

OOOPS, what an epic fail!
Did you catch that chipped paint on one of the tow chain hooks?
And I literally pointed out how I fixed it. Well, guess I didn't fix it good enough!
I covered it with paint before taking final photos of the model, so... it should be all good on my instagram :)
As I said and I speak again.
One of the best channels in our plastic model business.
Two points that I would like to add here.
ANY Place where "Mechanical Fluids" {i.e. Fuels, Oils/Lubricants, Greases and Coolants} are or have been will ALWAYS Leave "STAINS"!
I used to be a mechanic... and I NEVER EVER Saw a Garage that DIDN'T Have "Mechanical Fluid Stains" all over the shops I worked in!
From Gas/Petrol stains to Coolants, Greases, Various Lubricants and Oils... Even Water! Old Garages and Old "Tow Trucks" are a GREAT Place
to get reference photos from!
On a Funny Side note... ONE place worked at for awhile had JUST "Rebuilt" and "Re-Painted" the ENTIRE Auto Repair Bay area! And the Owners and Managers
TRIED to keep it's Newly Pained "CHRYSTAL CLEAN" Look and it lasted about... two or three months!
But eventually they just gave up because It's just NOT Possible?! THEY ARE REPAID SHOPS! THEY are MEANT TO GET DIRTY! PERIOD!
Ok so much for that part...
Second... If you don't have ACTUAL "Tanks/Armor" references...You can ALWAYS go to places that have LARGE Construction Equipment/Machines!
AND/OR You can go to Rail Road yards and look at how THEY look! Trains are a GREAT "Grease, Grim, Stains, Rust and Weathering/Aging" subjects!
So You don't always HAVE to have the EXACT "Subject Matter" {i.e. Sherman Tank, Artillery Gun Etc.} to create GREAT Weathering and Griming/Staining Techniques!
And keep in mind that THINGS that are LARGE and are mainly kept "OUT SIDE" and in ALL Types of weather will have these effects happen to them!
And BECAUSE of things like Moisture... ANYPLACE on a Machine or Vehicle that has "Moving Parts" {i.e doors, hatches, etc.} ANYTHING that Has to
MOVE and/or SWIVEL and/or Function WITHOUT Resistance MUST Have Copious amounts of Greases and/or Oils to keep them working smoothly!
Where he did the side lower "Maintenance Hatches" with LOTS of Grease spilling out of them... Train Cars and Locomotives have "Access Boxes" on the wheel trucks
and THESE also usually have TONS of Grease and Oil spilling out of them!
But ANOTHER Great source is RIGHT In Yours or your neighbor's or someone you know's Garage... A CAR!
LOTS of Oil and Grease and stains ALL OVER the Engine, Transmission and Rear End!
So You don't always have to go far to get the sources you need!
In closing... HOW Martin DOES the techniques that he shows here and in other vidz are just Simply AMAZING! He KNOWS his STUFF! :D
It has been said that, "An Armature takes the EASY...and makes it look DIFFICULT!
A "MASTER" {a.k.a Martin} Takes the IMPOSSIBLE... and makes it look EASY! :D
1/72 for ever! Lovely work!
Thanks Nick!
Amazing work! Well done! I know exactly what you mean: First totally hyped for that one project, then in the middle of modelling the hype slowly disappears and you just want to finish the kit! Thanks for this Video! Great Job! 👌
Lol, yes exactly! But this usually happens to me only when something goes wrong along the way and I already know the model isn't gonna turn out the way I envisioned. Maybe next time :)
Sorry everyone, But I think this has to be the best modelling channel on youtube :) your videos are so funny yet so informative. Thank you for taking the time to do these video, teaching us so much and keeping us entertained :D - Ivan
Thanks so much Ivan!
Amazing work Night Shift! Loved this entire playlist.
Outstanding Martin! You truly are the best teacher (for plastic model weathering) out there on TH-cam land at the moment. Excited to see what you do next!
Oh that's a huge compliment! Thanks a lot mate!
These are my favourite modelling videos!! Another breathtaking demo...I’m hooked!!
Just started assembling and painting tanks and other plastics and your videos are a huge help for a beginner like me, keep them coming 👍👍👍
Awesome! Hope you'll enjoy the upcoming vids as well!
Great channel, great skills, great talent and with a pretty good dose of humor.
Greeting from France!
Merci!!
Nice work. Thanks for all the tips.
Just discovered your channel recently... really good stuff! I really like the rust effect. I've never seen it done that way before.
Thanks Brett and welcome! Hope you'll enjoy your stay!
So well done!
Well in my opinion the result is awesome. Great videos, learning a lot !!
Awesome channel! So glad I found your videos! You are like a weathering god! Thank you for the tips! 💪🏻
Another great video - I'm really enjoying the explanations of the techniques and seeing the results.
Thanks mate, I'm glad to hear that!
I don't have the time or patience for this sort of thing but I'm impressed; particularly what you did with those tracks!
Brilliant video. Thank you Martin.
Great Tutorials, nice work!
great video tutorials. absolute professional!
Oh thanks a lot Andreas!
Congratulations... great realisation... very proofeeessssioooonaaalll ... 😂🤣😅... very very impressive, really mind blowing !!!
Everyone has that burnout with models Martin, the AWESOME open box phase, to the slog at the end to just get the damn thing finished!
That happens to me only when I deviate from the idea I originally had. AKA when the result doesn't live up to my expectations. Fun fact: my expectations are usually set really low :D
wow, learning a lot new to the channel and loving what I'm seeing. looking forward to more.
Thanks mate, glad you're having a good time!
love your work. would love to see a video on materials like what thinners with what paints, what paints need to go on first, paints not to mix, what paints thin with water. trying to get back into modeling after 25 years, and we never had all this information and technology when i was a kid, we had rattle can spray paint and tape and really nasty smelling glue that took forever to dry.
enjoyed the series fella, looking forward to the next one!
Thank you John, sending positive vibes! :D
Super videos. thank you
I've been watching your vids for a few months now and today was finally the day I realized it. You are actually Strongbad aren't you?
I love it
Wonderful and inspirational work!!
I hope the bigger model means a longer and a more complex building phase!!!
I am more curious about your next project than the GoT finale! 🙄
Thank you and yes! There will be a few very detailed construction tutorials and the painting will also be covered in more detail because there will be some interesting things which deserve a video.
Lol I feel your disappointment with last season of GoT. What a way to completely ruin what used to be one of the best TV shows ever. Luckily, as if HBO knew what a disaster it was gonna be, they gave us a wonderful remedy in form of the excellent Chernobyl miniseries.
excellent
I wanna see your tanks in a diorama or something
Thinking top flat areas on these things need to really show not just a chipping effect, but a true missing sun baked peel break with a real lower layer revealed. To add more character to the top flat areas.
My english is not that well, but i heard you spoke from Michael Rinaldi, i have all his books and he is my idol, because he make models exactly for my taste, i love his works too, yours same as well of course
10:53 - 36 seconds of an unpleasant feeling with comments like "ugh come on you piece of rings".
Turns out it's quite a decent kit if you put a little effort to it; I personally wanted to build a german version of that B1, but the Tamiya one is a little bit expensive, so this Trumpeter model with about 14 dollars I think will be okay.
And thanks a lot for your videos, they're really helpful and your technique with this uneven paint texture in previous model looks astonishing, I'll try it on some of my models sa well.
Thanks mate! What I did with this kit was the bare minimum in my opinion, it would need a lot more work and maybe some aftermarket if possible.
I think the German version had some modifications done to it? That would mean additional work. The Tamiya kit is great, I had it a few years ago but gave it away without even touching the sprues, but I'm tempted to build it again.
I'm sure you'll have fun with the distressing technique, I'll be doing it again on the next model.
And here me believing that i was the only one who used guitar string as antenna, nice work mate, really professional.
It's the guitar strings that make a difference between a hobbyist and a professional :D
Thank you for this project! Really well done model and as always it is inspiring.
I do have one offtopic question - How do you solve periscope issue on WW2 1/35 kits? Do you replace original parts with clear plastics, use varnish to imitate glass, or something else? (if the kit doesnt include clear periscope parts of course)
Thanks a lot mate and regarding periscopes, I couldn't care less about clear parts. I usually just paint them over and create the glass effect with paints. Not saying the result is perfect or convincing, but it's good enough for me. The process is simple, I just paint the glass part with dark grey acrylic paint, sometimes I give it a bit more variation with black oil paints, and cover it with a few layers of gloss varnish. I'll tackle this subject in the next series.
the grease speckle on the reference was likely just grease runoff that was tread tossed
Amazing work!!! Maybe some dioramas/bases on channel?
Oh, I don't do scenic bases :) But maybe, just maybe, at some point in my life, I might give em a try :)
Kit reviews are for less talented modelers, you make v good content... im already ordered full range of wilders products 😆
lol, then I should message Adam and ask for my ad revenue!
We'll see how the review goes. I mean, I've been modelling non-stop since I started this channel. One week without modelling, just talking, doesn't sound too bad :)
Would this technique work on Tiger 1's roadwheels?
I know this video is hella old, but how did you keep the paint on the tracks from chipping off like it did in the beginning?
Hi Martin, was your Minenraumer ever made into an article for a magazine?....just curios, as the ones in print are primer red or raw steel. Yours is one of the only grey ones I have seen...oh and if you hadn't told us the scale of the Char B1, I would have said it was 35th scale. Its that good of a paint job. Now more of this acrylic dust on the next model please.
Hey Mac, yeah it was, but quite locally... If I remember correctly it was only published in Czech Modelar and Italian Steel Art or Model Time magazines. And it was also quite some time ago... I don't honestly understand either what's the rage with oxide primer and raw steel Minenraumers. They can be painted in grey, dark yellow, 3-tone camouflage, heck, even winter camo. There are so many possibilities...
Thanks for your nice words, there will be a lot more acrylic dust content on this channel.
@@NightShiftScaleModels Shame it wasnt AFV Modeller or one of the Tamiya mags...back issues are dead easy to get. Cheers for the reply.
Nice done! Great to know that guitar strings are usable for antennas like this, but it is troublish - you cannot play the guitar now! ;) All the best for You! ;)
Haha I don't even play guitar :) But yes, those steel strings are great for antennas, in fact, I bought them just for this purpose.
How do you seal everything off to prevent damage on the model by touching or picking it up?
I don't :) Given enough time to dry, these effects hold very strong and won't be damaged. And I only handle my models with surgical gloves - you can transfer your fingerprints even on a sealed surface.
Thank you for the information, really looking forward to the next video!
I personally just blow the paint hard off of the brush when doing spatter, I usually use that however when I'm replicating blood spray from exit wounds etc...
Blowing it with air can be a bit unpredictable though
@@NightShiftScaleModels you are probably right TBF haha. I dunno, it's just been the way iv always done it, size of brush is the factor I use for different spray patterns
What brand are the oils you used? I tried Vallejo streaking grime but it seemed like no matter how long or short I waited I couldn’t get the effect I wanted. Just big blobs.
I use oils from Wilder. I think Vallejo makes only acrylic paints, that might be the reason.
Night Shift ok. And yeah I think that’s pretty much all they make is acrylic. The crappy part is that not only does my local hobbytown not carry any weathering oils or ak products, but hobby lobby and micheals do not carry them either. I really don’t understand why not. Do you have an online store to buy from in the USA? Thanks for replying! And I love your channel!
Isn't burnishing chains easier? BTW cute kit. 😉
It would be, if it worked in the first place :)
Something New from Tamiya in 48th scale please!
Just don't make it so simplified like that 48th scale Churchill! :(
Time for my night shift fix!
Hope you have some coffee nearby!
This video is very impactful on my life AKA things I'm definitely going to try on my next tank build! I'm glad to hear it's not just me who gets tired of 1/72 scale after awhile.
Well that's really great to hear!
Fun fact, I never focused on 1/72 scale before, I literally built this kit because it was hidden in my stash and I wanted to give some variety to my content, but I really like how fast you can finish these kits. They're small and practical.
The next model on this channel is the exact opposite, it's BIG. I knew it wasn't gonna be a small tank, but damn it's bigger than I anticipated.
Is it the modelcollect 1/72 P.1000 Ratte!?!?
I was a full on kit reviewer and I stopped doing it. Stay the course. Your content is better than reviews. And for God sake do something German.
I'm afraid to build German stuff! Too many people will see every mistake I make!
(waiting for the Tamiya Mark IV)
🤝🤩👏👌👍😊
gorgeous gorgeous result!
you sure about the kit reviews tho? there are tons of those around yet with no practical purpose to the viewers: lookie sprue here, ah another sprue there,, wow i've found another sprue i didn't see that coming, please subscribe and like...
yumanss are boooring - this particular channel ain't coz you'r not a human but a he-man. cheers, can't wait for the next schiftz :]
Thanks mate!
I don't know honestly. I think I'm a terrible reviewer... I just don't know what to talk about. So I'll just focus on things that I find interesting, comment on what looks good and what doesn't, talk about how the kit might go together etc...
We'll see next week, maybe :)
A K A 🙌🤣🙌🤣🙌🤣
At the end of the day, it's all about the A K A
Too hard on yourself mate. Fantastic job, who cares, really if it’s not historically accurate. You only have to please one person... yourself..
"AKA" you keep using that word. I do not think that it means what you think it means. xD
I know what it means, it's just... it's heavily used in my language but often in a wrong way - on purpose. I've gotten so used to it that I keep saying it even when it doesn't make sense :D
@@NightShiftScaleModels What is your language, by the way? My guess would be some south slavic language like Croatian.
@@unicorncycling806 It's Slovak. More similar to Polish, and almost identical with Czech :)
