HOW TO Paint MUD&DUST w/ACRYLIC PAINTS - NO PIGMENTS!!! (Char B1 bis 1/72 Trumpeter)

- Okay, okay, you all heard the old tales about mixing pigments with plaster and other horrific stuff. WHAT IF I TOLD YOU that all of that pigment stuff is completely obsolete and you can actually create pretty decent dust, rainmarks and mud effects with nothing more than few ACRYLIC PAINTS and some acrylic mud effect? And water, of course.... Doesn't sound that bad, right?!
Well then, watch this video and become WOKE

ARE PIGMENTS OBSOLETE?
What do you think mates?
No, because I still mix them into my dirt & mud washes to give them texture :-) but yeah, I rarely use them straight or by themselves anymore. I have been using more and more acrylic washes lately. I'm a big fan of David Parker's work and have been following some of his examples using Lifecolor for dust & dirt.
No!! However I have to admit I HATED pigments a lot, but sicnce I've been using them as Rinaldi does, I really like the effects and texture. Tamiya rainmarks are f** great too, didn't know the soapy water trick. Thanks!
@@brettbarrow4383 true true, very good points. I also use them from time to time in those dust, mud or rust washes. Sometimes I also apply them in extremely limited amounts on top of the dust washes to slightly adjust them. But I think the era when people applied pigments all over their models and then flooded them with thinner is way past its glory days.
i know this will sound counter intuitive but high quality ones are obsolete yes.
low quality ones, like vallejo for ex. where there is more filler in the bottle than pigment itself are still useful; simply because actually less pigment means it's less potent, which is the bane of pigments; their effects are very overpowering even with the tiniest amount if you get what i mean here.
gist of it is less is more, indeed.
@@ortiz5922 Mike's approach is amazing and I used the same techniques a few years back. But I slowly stopped enjoying the process and there was still a lot of mess on my workbench, so I looked for some alternative methods and somehow ended up here, using Tamiya acrylics lol
Night Shift: Do this and this and this you'll end up with a $500 looking model (Night Shift actually ends up looking like that )
Me: *Does everything as explained* - ends up with a model looking like it was build by a 1 year old chimpanzee.
hahahaha I feel you mate. watching a video can make you understand the technique, but it's practice that makes you master it!
Who disliked the video? 🤯 His work is top notch, and super helpful......
Who doesn't like it...
T H I C C ?
I love it when my paints have curves
Panzermeister36 mottled!
MIG maybe?
Great looking tank, so realistic 😍😍, I'd love too see you paint a Warhammer 40k Vehicle!
You learn something every day! Fabulous work with a very informative and funny voiceover 😂 Many thanks🇬🇧
That’s what I love about your channel in-depth and to the point!
Beautiful. The effect with graphite is awesome. And the commentary/effects (zoom/b&w) made me smile 😀
I think the tracks need more *silver*
THE HORROR!
More silver!, more silver!, more silver!...................WE NEED MORE SILVER!!!
Adding soap to Tamiya acrylic paint to circumvent water tension... game changer! Oh and the mud effects, SPOT ON!
Cheers!
brilliant stuff as ever Martin. Really like the effects you achieved. fab
Amazing work! Such epic detail, and you explained it in such a great entertaining style. I like the Char B1, and you've done it great justice.
Never been able to use pigments, always created a mess that was always hard to correct. Will be trying this as it looks way more controllable. Also liking the style of your videos, very chilled/fun to watch...not like other big name modellers.
Thanks Mac, yeah that pigment mess all over the model and my workbench brings me nightmares every time. Glad you're having a good time!
Like the use of your airbrush to spread the wash into corners and along edges. Great technique.
Love your vids, just wanted to say that.
Amazing work as always, keep up the good work!
Fun and simple, just like scale modellism should be! I'll try your advices. Thank you so much!
Great effects, well illustrated in this video! Keep up the great work!
I’m very new to modeling and just bought the Tamiya 1/35 walker bulldog and I’m pretty excited. I have tons of acrylics from my cosplay work and this video was really cool, since the only pigments I have are the essential colors and not the browns and weathering. Thanks night shift!
Martin...Love your videos on the Char B1 tank build. I have learned a lot about how to weather tanks.
Keep up the great work and keep the videos coming! John
Ohhh boy...one of the best part of the week! Learned awesome technices again.
Keep rocking! 🤘
Thanks mate! It's great to see you here again!
found this video in a search on here, love the technique, i’ll definitely be making my own rain water effects mixture, have a cupboard full of pigments, time to move to other techniques i think, they’re wayyyyy too messy. Just went through a few of your other videos, great stuff, keep them coming, thanks for all the tips.
I've recently become a big fan of your videos and congrats on being among the few who can focus the camera on these miniatures. You should really have a store. I've been buying just about everything you recommend and I wish you were getting some kind of commission for that! either way, thanks for the videos. Keep em coming!
this channel is pure gold! Thanks for the videos mate :) I appreciate all the hard work you've put in :)
Thanks a lot!
Night shift you are the greatest. Keep the vids coming.
Just stumbled across this. Glad I did. Great video.
As always masterclass, and very funny!. Looking forward to next Friday. Congratulations.
Thanks a lot mate! Next Friday is when we'll wrap this thing up and get it done. And then, something new!
Masterpiece! Really like the outcome! 👌 and yes, more 1/72 armour!
Thanks a lot Julian!
nice one. Thanks!
F__king awesome video, great technique and great explanations. Cheers for your hard work.
What a talented mother and a fantastic and humorous narrator. Keep on the good work and I will follow you anywhere
Thank you!
I think that you put out very skilled and entertaining vids!! I usually just mix actual, different grade soil, and mix into my mud- weathering paints. Works pretty well. And.... cheap as dirt!!
Amezing ! looks real 100%
Really love your videos at the moment.
Awesome job, looks so real! Félicitations de France! 👌👌
Loving this. As they say you learn everyday. I sure did. Thanks man!
I'm so glad to hear that Michal!
I know I am late to the comments, but the detail on your realism approach is phenomenal! They could be used as a movie prop. Very interesting and so well-done!!
"stylistic form of Mud!!" Great vid...very informative.. thank you!
Yeah, somewhat. Like I said in the video, it's important to make it a bit more refined and stylistic, otherwise it wouldn't look very appealing. Thanks!
Extra, quel talent ! les manipulations pigments, peintures à l'huile et autres techniques c'est vraiment impressionnant ! j'adore et j'espère un jour égratigner un zest de ce savoir faire
Editing was 7:30 crazier than usual and I love it. Great informative video, Uncle Night Shift.
Norton (Bear brand) has some yellow Washi painters tape that looks very similar. It's my favourite tape for fine masking. It's very thin, peels off with no residue and paint does not bleed through.
Love your work BTW!
All the best from OZ mate,
Ben
Glass I found your channel. Beautiful work
I loved the bass boost affect NOOOO!
Hey Martin,
Just picked up a link to this from somewhere on Facebook.
First time I've seen any of your videos.
This is great.. very clear tutorial, I love the effects and your editing and presentation is brilliant!
Many thanks
Graeme. 🙂👍
Thanks a lot Graeme, hope you'll enjoy the upcoming stuff as well!
Definitely Great Work !!!!!!! And naturally Many Thanks for sharing your well tuned methods………………
Thank you too!
Genius!!!! nice video.
Great work as usual. Great looking CharB 1.
Thanks Scott!
I just feel my hands will get dirty touching that mud, great tuto!!!
Thank you i am applying what i am learning to my studio series transformers!
How are you SO GOOD?
Great videos from you, cheers!
Never could use pigments without making a complete mess. Love your technique here, thanks so much for the video
Same here. Glad you enjoyed it!
Truly Inspirational, 👍
Great video.
Hi, another cool video👍
Great video Martin! I really like the use of acrylics here. I've been working a lot with acrylic weathering, but had not thought of using some of the methods you have here. I'll definitely be ripping off... I mean *emualting* them! :D
For your XF-52/XF-19 mix, was that thinned with X-20A?
Thanks Jon! Definitely give it a try, it's pretty rad technique. Ripping me off, pfffft... I'm ripping off... wait for it... Adam Wilder... AGAIN!
You mean the airbrush mix? That is thinned with Mr. Color thinner.
Love this channel ! So funny, I hate masking too!
Haha! Man don’t take your videos down, I Learn a lot and laugh too
Wow. It's all coming together so well. Looking forward to the conclusion, and wondering what could be next??
That's the real question eh? Well it's gonna be big, actually bigger than I expected.
So nice
Truly amazing, I love the dusting process, I will surely try it on my next model. Especially the track part of the process is really interesting
Thanks Luigi, hope you'll have fun with it! It's super easy.
It looks quite realistic, I’ll use it on my ongoing kv 2 project
KV-2 is one of the best subjects for this technique. Those big turret sides... mmmm
Btw, what kind of soap do you use to break surface tension on the rainmarks wash?
Try some liquid dish cleaner, that's what works for me. But I think the brand shouldn't make a difference.
lOVE THE VIDEOS!
Great work!
Thanks mate!
Nice!
Nice model 😍
Outstanding tutorial!
I'm a relative novice and loved the effect you achieved. Therefore, I've just ordered myself a pot of the Wilder textured earth as a result. One question though, would the mud effect have looked as good if it was splattered/flicked as a result of the track movement ie, not vertically up and down but at a slight angle?
Thanks, if you're a novice I'd stick to more simple techniques because that effect is quite hard to pull off.
Love all of your builds. I have never seen 1/72 models look so good. Many props to you.
Do you prefer 1/72 kits? I have so many 1/35 kits I am running out of room.
Thanks, no, I'm a hardcore 1/35 fan for life :)
bravo , surtout à cette échelle .i like
Superb!!!!
Thanks mate!
Thank you .
Great Channel 👍🏻
Thanks mate!
Excellent video, I've been experimenting with acrylics for mud & dust for some time so will certainly try your methods soon. Do you apply over a gloss or matt finish by the way?
Thank you Pete! That's kinda hard to answer, as I always varnish the model with clear gloss coat after I'm done with the camouflage and markings. Every subsequent layer of weathering dulls down the shiny surface, but the effect is kinda random and irregular. So to answer your question I'd say yes and no. In some places the surface is still glossy, in some it's flat. BUT to give you a more constructive answer, the surface doesn't matter. It's easier to apply these effects over matt surface, but they'll work just as well over a glossy one, it will just take a few more initial layers to build up the matt dusty foundation.
@@NightShiftScaleModels excellent thanks for that, I will try the methods soon. I have been weathering 1/48th armour for some time with acrylics but have only dabbled on 1/35th stuff.

Greta job! ;)
Nice video mate very coooooool :-) throwing away my pigments away after watching that ;-)
Hold it right there Comrade, they're not THAT horrible!! :)
Awesome work! I'm definitely going to apply these techniques in my models. Can you tell me what brand is the muddy paint? Regards!
Thank you! It's from company called Wilder.
I know this is an older video, but I’m wondering if you’d recommend using graphite for bare metal effects for everything or just on tracks?
Nice done. Normally, it will be overload with effects, but I think in that case, as partisant's tank, should be OK. Great! ;)
Thanks mate! Yeah, that and also I just cannot help myself... I just always end up trying to get the most out of it :)
Hi, is it possible to seal the graphite areas with any kind of varnish or similar product to have a "permanent" finish?
My son has sprayed his tank with Tamiya Acrylic paints and has put a single semi gloss coat over the top. He has tried to use some black Tamiya panel line but is having a problem cleaning it with the enamel thinners as its pulling up the acrylics where he was trying to clean up the panel liner. Can we just use thinned down acrylics is a similar method you used here for a panel liner or is there a reason that enamel base is used for the panel liner by Tamiya?
Please more 1/72 scale armor! I need more, its addictive to me
1/72, then 1/35, then 1/72, then 1/35... sounds good?
Is the "rain Mark's mix able to be sprayed on with the airbrush, in a VERY VERY light mist over let's say vehicle windshields?
Ahoj, casto pouzivas Wilder produkty. Ako napriklad 10:02 Dark Brown Fine Earth. Mas skusenosti s nejakou nahradou? Nieco co sa da zohnat na Slovensku v Europe? :) Napriklad od Valejjo nieco?
m a g n i f i c e n t !
Thanks mate!
@@NightShiftScaleModels quick question: there were 2 bottles, 1st one was for the dust 2nd for the rainmarks. you've mentioned that 2nd was thinned with soapy water. i assume 1st one is thinned also but with what exactly? reason being tamiya type acrylics, no matter their thinner being lacq or ipa, tend to strip down underlying paint when applied via hairybrush. there is some serious scale modeling blak magick voodoo here!
Oh, the first bottle which I used for airbrush application was simply thinned down with Mr. Hobby lacquer thinner!
Why are you so goog?😂😂
Btw, nice and fulfilling video again❤😈
Lolol, thanks so much Jakub!
Nz😂
What scale is that? It looks like one/you can’t see this without a microscope scale lol.😅
What may be a stupid question, but is there a way to 'seal' or fix graphite onto the model, so that it can't be rubbed off?
How could I do weathering and stuff without an air brush and instead a regular brush
does the graphite not rub off at all?
Can you link that mud-paint(?) That you used?
Are there other options for the Dark brown textured earth? Maybe from Vallejo or something like that because the shipping costs are unbelieveable :o
I thought about vallejo weathering effects Thik Mud Brown.
Thank U
Yup, Vallejo makes several acrylic mud pastes that look pretty good, I haven't used any of them but seen other people achieving very nice results with them. AK also has a range of acrylic earth pastes which should work very well too.
can't get any wilder anywhere in the UK
OUT OF STOCK everytime
And it's all on a glossy varnish? Have you applied a matte varnish to the model yet?
Can you elaborate more on that soapy mixture? Components, exact propоrtions? Wanna try that, but afraid to get it wrong.
Get some water, put a few drops of liquid soap/dish cleaner, mix it until it bubbles, add Tamiya XF paint straight from the bottle. No exact proportions, trial and error :)
@@NightShiftScaleModels I'm going to try this. I was very happy to see your results. Seems to dry fast but light enough be completely controlled. Love your work my friend!
Silver!!! Silver!!! Silver!!!
I hate putting masking tape on but taking it off and seeing the crisp line in the paint when you’ve done it well is just something else entirely.
AWSOME!!!!😂😂😂😂
Thanks!!!
You should do a British MK1 tank.
That'd be perfect for going absolutely nuts with the mud effects!
I like masking tape!!!
Beautiful model. I hate pigments as well. It mostly messes up model, a lot.
What airbrush do you use?
HS Evolution
Heeey, you promised to tell about making rain-marks mixture in this video!!! I'm still waiting!!!😥
Sorry, found it. I'll try it ASAP
👌👌👌😉
