Stowage seems really fun. Not only does it ground the tank in reality (with jerry cans or maybe a army accurate rifle) it also allows you to use different colors than just the greens, grays, and yellows of tanks. I’m a mini painter, but your videos are honestly some of the best model content on TH-cam, and your REALLY tempting me to try one of these things!
theese weeks without uncle nightshift felt like years! glad that you're back and fun fact (maybe not so fun) my mother broke her elbow a couple days after you broke your leg
@@NightShiftScaleModels It was a nasty wound I have to tell you that. The tricep pulled up the bones in her arm and she couldn't get surgery for some weeks
Your model painting is brilliant and I have learnt a lot from your videos so thanks for posting. The one issue I have is track colour. Everyone seems to feel that tracks need to be predominantly rusty. When I first left school I got a job on a road building programme driving a large bulldozer towing a vibrating road compacting roller. My job was to drive up and down this road to level and compact rubble being dumped by trucks. The ground was quite sandy and I can remember that the tracks of the dozer were a polished steel colour. There was no hint of rust. If this tank is to be in action on sandy Syrian soil I think its tracks would also be quite a polished steel colour. Only tracked vehicles that are only driven very infrequently or have been dumped have rusty tracks
I don't even model (though I was pretty serious about it for a decade as a kid!) and I am glad that you are back from a painful injury. Or, at least you are back to modeling if not mountain biking.
Hey Uncle Nightshift, you can get more transparent oil paints. Burnt Sienna is literally made from rust, it's iron oxide, in most paint lines this is very transparent. There are often more opaque versions of the same pigment, PR101 and PR102 in many lines are available in different tubes, prepared in slightly different ways to give different hues and properties.
Welcome back! Thanks for the little anecdote about how long it takes to paint things - the gun mantle took an hour. I think we forget how long it takes to do these things right.
Oh man the closed captioning made this super enjoyable to watch! it made a gigantic difference as I can able to read and follow like a book while watching. Thank you for formatting it, it will actually increase view count and enable other to watch it, on says, a train without sound.
Here we are againnnn!!! Welcome back Uncle !!! Very happy to see you around mate !!!We are looking forward to watch your enjoyable and very educational videos!
Welcome back! Just FYI - Iraqi Sand (70.819) is my go-to for adjusting many colors for highlights as well, but if you're ever looking for a AK 3rd Gen equivalent with similar usefulness I recommend Decomposed Flesh (AK11058).
Hope your leg is well. I am cyclist, mainly road bike. I understand long term recovery. I think you are the best and most skilled armor modeler. I also do aircraft. Best wishes mah friends.
Wow !! Lovely that you are using Abteilung oils, if you need a complety matt finish u can use the ABT. 502 matt oil thiner!!!! Very happy to see you in the workbanch again!!! Take care !
cardboard makes them dry really flat without any special thinner :) they also dry very fast. If mixed with VMS Oil Expert I can imagine they'd dry fast like acrylics :D
I would love to see you work on some 40k stuff. I mean, seeing you have a go on a baneblade using some of the more "outlandish" 40k camouflage schemes... That would be something!
Really enjoying your video presentations but so many skills you have i need to watch several times to understand your processes. So impressive work you do.
I’m still shocked at how you don’t even have a million subscribers, your videos are god-tier, and you inspire me a lot, and remember, I’ll see you in the next video, mah friend!
Glad to see you're back. Hope your recovery is going well. Great video. I use some of the techniques I've learned here on all sorts of different subjects. Cars to Sci-fi, rust never sleeps.
Its been a while uncle nightshift. I'm so happy to see you again make a video to finish the T-55A from Tamiya. I hope you get better soon from your broken leg. I can't wait for your next project, but its better you prioritize your broken leg before anything else.
Yeah oil paints are where all the magic of painting starts to happen. Acrylics are a blunt and unforgiving basecoating medium compared to it. Good to see you exploring and commenting on the fantastic properties of this medieval paint recipe.
Welcome back. The model update is great, but we want to hear how you are doing. I hope you are doing well and the leg is healing so you can get back on the bike, or at least go for a walk. :)
I highly recommend you to use a smooth surface like a transparent glass or something like that to mix and blend paints. You will see the colors better in that way. Anyway you are doing excellent.
In your absence I had started watching some Gundam model vids for the attention to detail.I had a great idea.You and one of the many Gundam should swap models,you build a Gundam the way you would a tank.Camo,weathering, etc.They would do a tank the way they'd build a Gundam.It'd be interesting to see how you both would do it.
There is absolutely NO product that matches the ease of use and versatility of oils and Abteilung 502 has all the colors you will need (or just use artists oils)! 👍 Btw, good to have you back, brother! 🥳
After not hearing your voice for weeks, hearing that “mah friends” is therapeutic
I'm doing another "ma frens" recording tomorrow, feels good to be back!
@@NightShiftScaleModels my happy senses are peeking
I know right, it's weird how relaxing his voice actually is.
When the world needed him the most, he returned.
Top 10 Greatest Anime Comebacks of All Time
Lol 😂 but he never left
Someone hit the Uncle Night Shift Alarm.... hooray!
I missed not seeing your vids!!! So glad your back! Your models are so good!
Just to be sure, But you used ‘Not seeing’ here, Which would mean That you don’t like That he’s back. Remove the ‘not’ and its a positive comment :)
@@imatoaster7831 thanks man I’m only a kid lol

Uncle night shift is back!
HALALUJAH!!!! Night Shift has returned - my Fridays have been barren without you!
Yes! That catch phrase, the weathering, the results, he’s back!
The Night Shift Cult was without it's idol for too long. Welcome back!
Glad you are back sir.
"Last week" riiiiiight lol
The most joy I've had all month is seeing your video pop up
Back to normal. I can't live without your videos

Thumbs up for oils so much more control,and here for the bloopers at the end
PAPA NIGHT SHIFT RETURNS!
Nothing better on a Friday afternoon than sitting down and eating some popcorn while watching night shift.

Thanks for sharing .. I'm re-booting my scale modelling hobby after almost 30 years and this is a great video to kick start the re-learning process

If you called it finished here I wouldn’t be mad. It looks so good!
Wow !! Lovely that you are using Abteilung oils, if you need a complety matt finish u can use the ABT. 502 matt oil thiner!!!! Very happy to see you in the workbanch again!!! Take care !
