One thing that has to be remembered. What do tank crews get to do when not in combat? Well, their commanders find them jobs, like any other branch of the armed forces. “Right, you lot! The old tin can is looking scruffy, go paint it!” So while use in combat will cause scratches and chips, the paint itself may be pretty unweathered and there maybe not much rust. This is very true for tanks from the WW2 Normandy battles, the allied tanks having been fully serviced and prepared before the invasion and the German vehicles being mostly from regiments resting and rearming after service on the Eastern front. So early on in the battle, vehicles would have looked pretty pristine. Later on, after the battle if Normandy and the drive across France and the low countries, vehicles would have looked much more tired. The German crews were given gallons of Panzer yellow, brown & green to paint their own camo, which is why there are no standard patterns.
@@SvenTviking And that's why choosing the right subject to paint and weather is important. I mostly select my models based on their weathering potential. But, and I've said this countless times and will keep saying it in the future as well, I'm fully aware my chipping has nothing to do with realism and I'm perfectly okay with that. I simply enjoy the process and the results and I think that's the most important in our hobby.
Martin, I noticed how well you demonstrated the chipping effects during the eleven minute segment. Even when using a "bad" technique and inferior brushes, you managed to produce a highly respectable finished piece. I guess your talent transcends your tools. Excellent job. Thanks.
Can we all take a moment to appreciate the section intros? Like 'Basic Stuff #1: Decide when to apply chipping'. The transition, voice modulation, everything. So clever in so many ways.
I think at the end of the day it's the final result, and the happiness of the modeller with their final creation, that matters most - in saying that I have learned a few things from you here Nightshift, which just goes to show even after over 40 years of modelling (including several bouts as a professional modeller) there is always room for learning new techniques, and nobody knows it all...many thanks for the entertaining videos Sir!
I am working on my first armor model after building race cars for the last 40 years, and I just watched this video for the 5th time. You have taught me more about how to make a tank look like I want it to in 20 minutes than anything else I have learned about it in decades. Now I’ll have a go on the Tamiya Panther G chipping with confidence, great video.
"Badly painted chipping can ruin your model and take precious months off of the one, single existence you have been granted here on Earth." [shows model that looks better than any of my work] :(
✔️✔️Exactly, and its because badly painted chips ruin models, that I switched to a more direct, accurate, genuine method for creating them! For instance, many chips seen on real German tanks were caused by non-penetrating fire from allied infantry or armored vehicles. So, I realized I could best recreate that look, by taking my Jagdpanther and Tiger II models out to the local gun range and shooting them with .30-06, .50 BMG ball rounds, and some British 6pdr armor piercing rounds. But when the smoke cleared, and I walked downrange to assess the results, i learned that scale matters! It turns out that ALL of the aforementioned rounds had a significantly greater "effect" on my tiny, plastic models than they do with actual full sized armored vehicles made of very thick steel! I'm sure I'll remember to apply that lesson the next time I build a model tank! 😉
Yeah. That one looked pretty decent and realistic to my eye. I guess its his own work and he is overly critical or something but there is that one spot in there that could be better I think.
WOW! THIS was AMAZING! The Techniques were AWESOME and I LOVE Your sense of humor! Your English is Very Well Spoken. PLEASE do more of these Tutorials! I'm a 55 yr. old Modeler that has been at this for almost 50 yrs. and I STILL learn New and Awesome Techniques like this! One more I will add... I have used this to create realistic "Bare/Exposed Metal" effects by shipped paints. FIRST I apply several layers of "Stainless Steel Epoxy Spray Paint" as the "Raw Metal". Once dried, this gives an EXTREMELY Hard and Durable "Metal" Effect to apply the Main Color{s} over. Then I apply a "Chipping Agent" such as "Yellow Mustard" condiment, or Liquid Latex or Rubber Cement in the "Chipped" Areas. Once the main paint is applied rub off the Chipping Agent and you will have a realistic "Exposed Metal" look. I did this on my Darth Vader Chest and Belt Boxes and some other parts of my Screen Accurate "Darth Vader RotJ" Costume. Next, I am currently working on my Han Solo "DL-44" Blaster Prop, using a REAL Metal C96 German "Mauser" from DENIX for the main gun, with an after market Conversion kit. I have taken apart the Mauser and Stripped the Paint from all of the parts. Once the Stripping is done, I will Start the conversion. When I am ready to Re-Paint it, I will Us a "Chipping Agent" before I apply the Satin Black paint. Once I have rubbed off the "Chipping Agent", I will do further weathering with some rusts, Oil and grim looks. I hope this adds to your arsenal of techniques to try? Be Well. Joe
I’m about to try chipping for the first time, and this is by far the best tutorial I’ve seen. Thank you for sharing. I now feel confident I can do a decent job.
Not only i found it helpful and interesting much, this is the first video i watched in your channel, and its became my favorite modelling channel. keep up the great work, i have a lot to learn from you ,ate!
This is by far the most intelligent and well explained video on paint chipping I've come across. Following the techniques is easy and the results are amazing. Probably the best piece of advice given in the video is 'patience'. When you are ready to try these methods, put on some good music and just take your time! I followed the video for my first time at trying to paint chip a 1/35 scale tank and I'm so impressed with what I managed to acheive. Thanks buddy! Your video was an immense help.
Getting ready to learn this for the first time (I'll be practicing on a soup can) - this is one of the very best tutorials on the topic that I've found. Great camera work, terrific examples, very good explanations about why things are done (as opposed to many videos that are just "watch me" - I'm not knocking those, but they aren't always useful for beginners). And, good sense of humor. That alone is difficult in one's second language. Thanks so much for this! Definitely saved.
INSIGHTFUL, EDUCATIONAL, ENTERTAINING, HUMOROUS AND DYNAMIC... and not to mention enjoyable. Ive only watched a half dozen of your videos (all of which was tonight) and having not made a model in over 25 years your truly an exceptional talent not only as a artist but as an educator. Now I don’t won’t to sound like some kind of fan boy, but as a 50 y/o hairstylist/business owner who’s trained main apprentices, i feel like I have some knowledge when it comes to education and creativity.... continue the great work... very impressive.

Been building models for many years, and I have always tried to avoid chipping. Just using washes and dry brushing. Though I've been pretty much happy with my builds, I have always felt they were missing something. After watching this video I plan on giving it a try on my next build (Most likely a WW2 Tank Destroyer). Thank you, nicely done detailed video. Subscribed.
Only just seen this video great tips these lessons will help me hone me skills even more as been model building for 35years and still learning all the time 👍🏻😊
Only just came across this channel. Really enjoyed the video and explanation. Great focus on technique and showing all the detail. So often other modelling channels sort show / explain it but in the end you are still left wondering. Your video is great... funny too 😁. This will really help my chipping... T34-85 next to do... Thanks so much for posting... 👍👍👍
I know this is a older video but thanks . I've been building scale models for 40 years and I've tried every technique imaginable as well as always try to come up with and try new techniques but my reason for my comment is to simply say thank you for taking the time to share these techniques with everyone.

This is definitely one of the most informative and entertaining weathering videos I’ve seen this week, and I only got my first RC tank a week ago :) Thanks for the help
I'm painting models for about 10 years now. I usually browse through painting channels to laugh at the results. Your channel will be the first that I will subscribe to because you deserve it. I'm blown away. Mach weiter so.
I've read loads of stuff on chipping and practised the techniques but this is the clearest and most effective tutorial I've seen on chipping. Outstanding!
I am no way any kind of armour modeller but am currrently building an old ABC robot from Judge Dredd that needs to look like old dirty metal with rust etc. This video was so informative for me and I cant wait to give it a go. I am a modern fast jet modeller so I will enjoy this challenge, thanks sooooo much for your advice. I will subscribe now. Your English is PERFECT by the way.
@@NightShiftScaleModels You're welcome. Haven't done any model in years (bike racing) yet I love to look at different techniques. Especially the part about learning patience. I need to follow that path. Got distracted from it, for a time being.
Just used your technique for rust and weathering on my 'Tamiya 1/35 Chieftan Mk5' video...Brilliant technique and really effective...Thanks for all your tutorial vids..they are so helpful to new modellers like me...Big thank you!
I swear your videos keep me sane in the really bad Metro Manila traffic, especially when i'm heading back home from work. Also, helps me sneak time on the bench and play around with how to weather my aircraft
Well that's not huge anymore. But still a large surface to chip. When I was chipping my 1/72 O-I superheavy tank, man, that took like a month to paint all the chips.
@@NightShiftScaleModels Quick update....it's a hell of a ride. Also when ur hands are doing shakii shakii and the 00 brush is afraid of the model. Hope I gonna finish it and present it as a new Vid...
I'm new here. This is your first video I've watched. Been making models on and off since I was a kid but never tried weathering or chipping. Your work is superb. Thanks for the tips. I'll give it a go myself Edit- No, seriously. Your models look AMAZING. I'm in awe. 👍
OMG loved this i am getting back into modelling after long time im old school an your FXs are huge transformations i did cars made them look like mini versions motor detail was skimpy at best now? OMG aftrr market motor wiring kits? interiors? so excited !! have several tanks never worked on WILL NOW !! thank you so much
5:32 Yeah lol You have a like and a new sub 😂 I like the random comments during the video as jokes and thing. And the way you explain. Of course! Nice vid and tips. Thanks!
Who the heck down votes a high-quality video like this? So much great information here and the video is really well put together in terms of sharpness/focus, lighting, pacing. Great stuff - thanks for sharing!
Everything on your tutorial is useful, thank you. I watch a lot of professional model makers, and unfortunately, they either don't have the time or have gotten into a routine where they don't put in the amount of detail any more. Keep on going man.
I came across your channel and have become addicted to your work. I am a model railroader and some of my equipment will really benefit from weathering and chipping. Also, your foam carving is just eye opening. Nicely done!
I have watched this many times since I started making models. I found one big advantage to the hairspray, chipping fluid, and salt chipping methods. With those methods you get actual paint breaking off the model. With the salt chipping method I had bubbling underneath my paint which makes it look like it was rust that was painted over without properly prepping the metal underneath or if there was rust forming under the paint layer. It gives a 3d effect on the rust/chips instead of flat painted on chips. I am still a noob and this was Unintentionally done on my latest model using the salt chipping method.
Hands down the best tutorial Iv'e seen. I dont know how you rate against the Worlds best but I dont think anybody is a better teacher for the beginner or intermediate painter. I learned a lot in this video...Thank you!
Interesting to look at. Gives me some more understanding of the 'chipping technique'. Strange that TH-cam is recommending a chipping video while I was looking for drybrush.
you my friend, are incredibly talented. you have a great voice, great production and most important, your explanations and examples are wonderful. Too many of these videos dont go into enough detail about techniques or what to do to solve problems. The ones that just play music while the viewer is watching are the worst. they are more for relaxation than informattion.
Very nice video!) Thanks! I like your University like approach to information delivery.))) Right in the middle of the lecture I suddenly realised that I forgot to bring along my pen and a note pad.)))) Thanks!)
I've been binge watching you because I'm waiting on everything to arive in the mail, I just got a ISU-122 the other day but forgot to order some liquid cement so I ordered that and a bunch of other stuff for painting and weather and in the mean time I've just been watching you
Very very interesting and useful video. I do not model tanks. I am a railroad modeller and I work with H0 (1:87) scale, but sure these tricks will help me a lot. Thanks for sharing.
This was extremely useful. I paint grimdark wargame miniatures and terrain scenery, to a pretty decent battlefinish state rather than a diorama standard, and I found your channel through Scratch Bashing, but this is a new level, now I have a lot to study in your channel, thank you!!
This was super useful, thank you. I'm working on a Rodimus Prime diorama, and I wanted to make it so he was his Blue alt from Lpst Light, but the blues and purples were chipping off to reveal his original paintjob underneath, and this is just what I need.
Amazing.. You are an artist in model painting, that's for sure.. I thank you for sharing your painting skills and experience you've learned for years, definitely worth while.
Which trick did you find the most useful?
I need new brush 😮
All of them!
Sponge!
🗣All of them !!!!😁👍
The small brush chipping looks very helpful - will have to try it on the next model (even if it is a plane ;))
"That's still not horrible enough"... Exactly my approach to weathering.
😁👍
Haha, well that's certainly one way to approach it!
One thing that has to be remembered. What do tank crews get to do when not in combat? Well, their commanders find them jobs, like any other branch of the armed forces. “Right, you lot! The old tin can is looking scruffy, go paint it!” So while use in combat will cause scratches and chips, the paint itself may be pretty unweathered and there maybe not much rust.

Hands down the best tutorial Iv'e seen. I dont know how you rate against the Worlds best but I dont think anybody is a better teacher for the beginner or intermediate painter. I learned a lot in this video...Thank you!
Interesting to look at. Gives me some more understanding of the 'chipping technique'. Strange that TH-cam is recommending a chipping video while I was looking for drybrush.
One of the best chipping videos I have ever seen.
I'm feeling chipper already. Another great video Martin!
Yay, I always knew you were, somewhere deep down, a chipper!
you my friend, are incredibly talented. you have a great voice, great production and most important, your explanations and examples are wonderful. Too many of these videos dont go into enough detail about techniques or what to do to solve problems. The ones that just play music while the viewer is watching are the worst. they are more for relaxation than informattion.
What I like is how to fix your mistake. Great Video!!
As someone who has never and probably will never make a model, I really appreciate this video
Card table.
Very nice video!) Thanks! I like your University like approach to information delivery.))) Right in the middle of the lecture I suddenly realised that I forgot to bring along my pen and a note pad.))))
Thanks!)
wtf maretu
I believe he has posted tank models of his own on twitter, which explains why he has this video
you are the best Martin, can't get enough of your videos, I can definitely say you're my favorite modeller on YT. Keep it up, sir!
Ohh thank you!
Where have you been my entire life?! Finally a chanel with exceptional skills, pinch of good humor and good editing! You've earned a HUGE fan sir!
Took me a few years to gather the courage to start a channel. Thank you and welcome onboard!
Very impressive video....chipping like a pro looks much easier now!
I've been binge watching you because I'm waiting on everything to arive in the mail, I just got a ISU-122 the other day but forgot to order some liquid cement so I ordered that and a bunch of other stuff for painting and weather and in the mean time I've just been watching you
M****u XD??????
Martin, spent the whole day watching your videos yesterday.....loved them all, and love your humour!! Thanks for sharing your wisdom.
Thanks a ton Gary!
Hey i'm an absolut beginner. You helped me a lot. Thank you very much.
Wow...I just found you right now and I am not going to lose you!Thanks for the great tutorial!
Very very interesting and useful video. I do not model tanks. I am a railroad modeller and I work with H0 (1:87) scale, but sure these tricks will help me a lot. Thanks for sharing.
This was extremely useful. I paint grimdark wargame miniatures and terrain scenery, to a pretty decent battlefinish state rather than a diorama standard, and I found your channel through Scratch Bashing, but this is a new level, now I have a lot to study in your channel, thank you!!
This was super useful, thank you. I'm working on a Rodimus Prime diorama, and I wanted to make it so he was his Blue alt from Lpst Light, but the blues and purples were chipping off to reveal his original paintjob underneath, and this is just what I need.
Thanks for sharing this- I am just starting rusting and weathering a model and this is truly inspirational!
Really excellent guide for painting those chipping. Useful for nearly any genre of miniature painting
Literally have my chipping sponge in hand when this pops up. Thanks for the inspiration!
Oh what a perfect timing!
Amazing..
You are an artist in model painting, that's for sure..
I thank you for sharing your painting skills and experience you've learned for years, definitely worth while.
