French Duck Tank Gets A Heavy Oil Treatment (Somua S35 | Tamiya 1/35)

- A model painted with the hairspray chipping method is an excellent canvas for various oil paint and rust techniques, and it would be foolish of me not to use that to the maximum potential. But hey, it's a French tank, so it needs to look subtle!

Heres an oily duck fun fact:
The mallard duck's outer feathers are waterproof, thanks to oil that's secreted from a gland near the tail.
Quacks for that :)
Built-in oil paint dispenser on your back, what a dream!

Hi fellow duck nerd! Quack
@@joempoem478 lmao
Legitimately the best painting channel ive ever found. Thanks Night Shift!
Aww cheers mate!
This is true. The hobby shop I go to talks about "Uncle Night Shift" LOL. The only other few channels I watch are more figure painting of WW1 figures and suchbut Night Shift is the top one.
And build channel!
So true !😃
Nightshift, I don't even like French tanks, but since you it's one of your videos I had to watch. I always enjoy your videos. Informative, entertaining. Keep em coming. I'm waiting for you to put a book out. My Friends!
Nice to see the French duck get all cleaned up with an oil wash. 😄
Oil makes it waterproof and acts as rust protection :D
@@NightShiftScaleModels nah.. these ducks are so thicc the rust will take almost falf of forever to chew it up.
I sometimes forget how tiny a 1/35 tank model is until I see it in your hands. It's incredible how much detail the paintwork has to really transform it to looking real.
There are even smaller tanks such as the Pz II or T-26 :) Pin washes are the real MVP, they can make anything look better.
That BRUH at the end was superb.
At 01:35 the clear yellow: You CAN replicate that. Mix a drop or two of yellow food coloring into a teaspoon of clear nail polish. You may need to experiment to get the yellow you want. But I was able to make stained glass windows for a 15mm scale church with this method. I like your channel, thanx.
I wish we could have more Fridays per week…😂 great job uncle!
Greetings my Night shift buddy (I am on night shift as I'm watching this) that was a fantastic lesson from one of the true masters of this hobby, ke safe and welll mate, best regards to you and your family and friends from a Kiwi living in Australia
Cheers mate, I hope your shift goes smoothly!
Let’s call this tank Bill. So it will be duck-Bill.
Great idea!
Thanks for these videos, Uncle Nightshift! I don't paint much in the way of military vehicles, but these techniques have really improved my Warhammer 40K models.
Nice work! Will you use water effects in the vignette/diorama? If not are you going to use water effects in the near future
My future looks bone-dry :( But I'll try my best to make a scenery with some puddles this year.
@@NightShiftScaleModels please keep in mind that most resins turn to a yellow tone over a couple of years.
@@sol8627 as does oil paint though it takes a little longer
@@NightShiftScaleModels Ooooh... How about something in the rain?
Not gonna lie, early-war French tanks are actually some of my favourites, and you're doing a great job with this! I always loved the Somua, has a very nice "jelly mould" shape.
Also, two suggestions for future projects:
1: A Matilda II in that famous camo pattern whose name escapes me (the stripes of tan, grey and pastel blue).
2: Something completely out of left field, a Warhammer 40,000 tank of some form. I'd be interested to see how you handled a deliberately fantastical and unrealistic subject such as, say, a Leman Russ with your painting and modelling skills.
Caunter Camo :)
I recently stumbled upon a great way to do light reflectors and mirrors with the Molotow chrome pens. Really made the lights 'shine', hah
Works best if you just take the liquid inside and paint it on with a brush.
This build has been messing with my head a little: the large cast parts really create a texture that looks like you've applied the paint too thickly. Add to that the bright camo colours and it almost looks like a bad paint job than something intentional. That said, this latest episode has really toned it down with the oils.
I wonder if it would have been better to use a subtler cast texture since the parts are so large? In my opinion, the problem colour is really that duck-egg blue. It's so light that the texture really shows up
That's an interesting observation. I reworked the original texture which was in the kit following photos of the Aberdeen tank. Lots of casting imperfections and gouges in the metal, etc. The Tamiya texture is more like a coarse grain which probably makes any paint job really weird. At the end of the day, this tank is simply cursed and I'm glad it'll be a very short series :)
@@NightShiftScaleModels if you think this is cursed at least it's not the Sherman Bigfoot
Very good model keep going cant wait to see the end result
Uncle's little duck pet!
i'm really liking this camo, nice and vibrant
I still love that paint job, it seems amazing for oils! Great job as always!
MARTIN!!!! I never thought that a French duck tank could look so good!
Great work as always.
I just finished my somua s35 two days ago. I painted the camo with brush and weathered it with OPR. Now I’m a big fan of French armor, and I like especially their colorful camouflage.
Their camouflages are really cool and will liven up any modeller's display case :)
I really enjoy your choices for models. The Syrian T55 was excellent, so is this Somua. I've been doing German and Soviet stuff for years and am now saturated. Now WW1 and Masterbox Indian Wars figures has given me new interest in the hobby, having said all that, its refreshing to break away from the Eastern Front and do something a bit off the beaten path, so French is good, you're welcome
Thanks for making Friday awesome, hope you are healing up. Great video as always.
Thank you , Uncle Martin .
The exhaust looked amazing! Well done fixing it.
I was waiting for all week!😍
Thanks Uncle Night Shift!
Ah the best way to end the night!
Glad you made this as I'm just now getting into oils for weathering. Thanx.
Certainly colourful 😉 Nice finish.
Every day’s a school day enjoyed that 👍
Always eagerly awaiting your Friday videos, hope your leg gets better soon!
I took two screenshots to compare the before and after of the exhaust....man the difference is so subtle on a first glance, but makes all the difference when looking at it a bit longer
it's interesting because it has a really different color on that pastel green.
Thanks so much~! some very helpful techniques on display here.
All tanks are interesting weathering subjects
Great transformation!!
I learn so much from your videos
It reminds me of the mystery machine from scooby doo, maybe once it's darkened down with the weathering it'll look amazing as usual! It does look awesome the fine line of the colours maybe to bright for French colours the brown's to red the greens to lime the French artillery grey passes think that was your tamiya sky you could probably pass for the British silver Grey on the counter scheme too!
Because of your videos,I discovered oil pin washes and I'm in love...not with you,just the oils :D
Epic work
Hi martin your models are so cool
A challenge for you ITALERIES 1/35 FURY WITH FIGURES AND DIAROMA PLEASS
Yes nice idea😃🙃
Great work as usual 👍. The rusted exhaust looks amazing and I’m going to try this technique on my next model.
I'm glad you like it, the first attempt was really boring and I just HAD to rework it the next day :)
Between games like War Thunder and channels such as this one there is a huge new interest in these weird and wonderful old tanks.
This is a heck of a challenge and you're doing an amazing job. That brown stripe at the bottom of the tank that is clearly authentic and original looks even in the photographs like a bad model paint job. So I guess the irony is you recreated it so well it looks like.. a bad model paint job just like the real thing. It takes a lot of skill to make something look this bad because in this case bad is good.
Very well done
This little lady is starting to grow on me! TFS Martin, GB :)
I’m late as I was on a plane to Portugal. great vid as always :)
If you don't have any models like this, you can make a some T-34 85 or something. Maybe a Panther A/F/G/D, or a Ferdinant tank destroyer or known as "Elephant".
Your models are so good and cool, greetings from Bulgaria 🇧🇬 :)
Rock on maaaaaaan. Solid.
Nice job❤️
Cool looking tank
Excelent work and excelent video
This isn’t the duck - the duck is the AMX 40. Love your videos, btw!
Wounderful. Nice
Amazing 👏
Makes me want to get finish on my French bolt action tanks.
Really nice.
You always remind me, I need to buy oil paints and enamel paints...
Great video again!
Also also, I still have some great 1/500's. I am curious what you can do with this.
Amazing job.
I use aluminum kitchen foil glued with "mordant varnish" or cyanoacrylate to make the interior of a headlight. It simulates well the chrome or "metal foil". Aluminum foil can make small curves with a cotton swab on curved surfaces.
Cheers
Yeah Unky Night Shift inna haus!
Thanks, i like it very much
I never thought I'd enjoy watching some guy paint an exhaust for 20 minutes. Never had the patience or dexterity for modelling myself, but your videos are very relaxing. Say, that Logo in the "Yellow" segment, did yoi have any historic example for that?
bootiful
*Stainless steel armor is invented*
Night Shift: :O
It's so good to see you haven't lost your touch, nor your sense of humour 😊
Hope the healing is going well ... have you weathered your cast yet? 🤭
Gotta step up my game as soon as this one is off the workbench! I missed my chance with the cast, I don't have it anymore, but 6 more weeks on crutches :(
6 weeks to add character to crutches 🤔 There's a challenge ... take it steady, don't be rushing about yet. Its good that you're on the mend, mah frend 😊👍
German tanks are cool and all but these weird French tanks are so much more interesting looking! I'd like to see you do some more weird ones maybe Italian or English
Martin needs to paint a mini like a armor model
Would love to see you do a Char. B-1, or an AMX-13 and replace the gun and modify the turret to either the 90mm or the 105mm gun it was fitted with down the road.
Hello mah friend, this tank looks beautiful! And dispatch your comments via carrier pigeon. Love these mate!
Yeeeeees
French armour makes for a great change from the usual suspects.
What that tank lacks in the looks department was more than made up for in its high speed reverse gear. 😉
great video again!! did you seal every layer of oil paint between the pin wash and oil filter and enamel rust wash? kind regards and keep up good work and how is the recovering going? kind regards
You really should try something with a B1 Bis or a B1 Ter, they were the nightmare of Germans despite being under-produced and rarely seen on scene, plus they have very nice shapes and interesting tracks shapes. Look up the Stonne (with 2 "n" yes) Battle… That was surreal ! The "Odieux Connard" has a very well subtitled and very funny video about it :) ( and yes, his nick is really "Odious Asshole" XD )
wow i was waiting it!!!
can you do next time an unusal model
pleeeese!
im on a trip now to a modelling contest in romainia and there was a guy that made model duck that quack too. VERY cool model tho thx for the content
Great as usual! May I suggest using Molotow Liquid Chrome for the lights? It's much, much, much better than ordinary silver paint!
Cool!!
Очень профессионально!
This channel makes me want to get back into model sets again, (the only two i have now is a mossie on which all the small details melted from a cheap bad glue and the props are blobby messes - and a g4m2 on which i accidentally broke the top turret and the blades).
Perhaps models look better if you paint them ;D
Question: do you have any tips or videos on airplane painting?
Another great video bud. I'll be honest looked abit poo to start with and then. Boom amazing!! 👌😳
It's looking great so far! When are we getting another leg update? Hope you're doing good!
Wow amazing oil work!! I hope that for this tank you are going to do a diorama !! Thx !
I'm already working on the diorama :)
another good one Martin, hows the leg coming on?
I’ve been trying to models but I’m trying to get use to the weathering
After all your videos i have watched... i get the feeling you enjoy rusting your models.
Have you thought of making a kit-bashed / scratch-bashed Mater from the Cars movie?
Petition to have you do the Dragon 1/6 M4A3
Hi Uncle N.S. Great work as always. I wanted to comment on the headlight reflector. Now, I don't know Jack about early French tanks, but on American cars from the same era, the reflectors are always silver plated, not chrome. I've restored several mid '30's Studebakers and have had to silver plate the reflectors on all of them. Not cheap! The chrome does not have the same candle power, which is why silver was the standard. Not that I've ever driven them at night! And, of course at 35th scale, what possible difference in color could be achieved? (If it is achievable, you're the man to do it) CHEERS!
Very nice work on this model, as always the result is outstanding
I found some oil paints that i can yse in my models too, but i dont know how to dilute them and how to clean the brush, can you give me any advice on how to use the oil paints?
I use white spirit to dilute them and clean my brushes. You can glimpse some oil thinning in the T-55 oil paint video :)
Wooo!
Do you apply oil wash on the layer of glance varnish?
Much better.
Awesome video, however you can't say that french tanks didn't see much combat, the very much did, for a short period of time, but blitzkrieg was very intense xD
Yay it Friday completely forget.
I dare you to try and get a Bob Semple tank and paint it, would be cool
Hope your leg is healing well!
I don't know why you feel trepidation over this thing so far, I think it looks fantastic.
It's just a weird tank, its shapes make the weathering process feel kinda odd :D
Should've put one of those tinfoil cuts you do in the headlights for bulbs.
YOOOO NEW VIDEO
(new video idea: German Schwimmwagen tamiya 1/35th scale)
very good safe.
I was negatively surprised by the thumbnail of the last video that I didn't watch it, I was asking how could that be a Nighshift model. but then you saved it with this one.
great work. yes, please let go of the happy funky look. This tank was a beast it its day and french camos may look prettier but they arer still war paints not party colors, so Nice safe bro
I'm glad you like it more now, but it was intentional all along :) Maybe hairspray chipping wasn't the best approach and post-shading would make the model look more serious.
I’m looking to get back into modeling and have been enjoying your amazing work. I want to build some WWII panzers, in particular. Is there a brand that you’d recommend that does the best job on German panzers? I know that each company seems to have a particular model they manufacture very well with great detail. Any direction would be appreciated. Thanks and keep up the great work.
The new range of Panzer IV models from Border seem really well done and rather easy to assemble. Meng also makes beautiful German tanks such as the King Tiger, Panther or Jagdpanther. These are all very recent kits so the quality is top notch!
