Did you notice something weird? I usually apply washes first, then add oil dots. OOPS! JK, it doesn't really matter.

Well, I personally prefer to apply washes after oil dots, because sometimes when you blend dots oil paint might cover washes. Quite difficult to clean it up from all gaps and etc. And the funny thing - despite of the lacquer (surface) type, I wait for about 10-15 minutes for thinner to evaporate, and then goes another layer of effects. What's the secret? Apply varnish :D Surprisingly, it doesn't affect previous layer of oil or enamel if the varnish is acrylic. Well at least it works for me))

new video from martin, best day of the week :D

You had me at "living bananas". Great tutorial as always.

Easily one of the coolest modeling channels in 2019 😍

I recently discovered your channel and can't get enough of your videos! So many interesting techniques. Are you going to setup a Patreon account? I'd definitely support!

Thanks a lot! I'm thinking about it, but I don't yet have a clear idea about tiers and rewards :)

I have to say, as a long, long time miniature-wargamer/painter who's recently started applying modelling techniques to my painting (oils, enamels, filters etc.) your channel is fast becoming my favourote source for inspiration and tips! Keep up the good work and can't wait for the next video!

Well, that has to be the first time I have actually seen anyone do the dot technique that I could actually understand, and follow. So, I suppose I need to dig out the oils, and see if I can actually duplicate the results.... although I will be working on a hulk at first. This definitely is a great channel, and I am learning a lot.... definitely love the weld seams and texture. Thank you for sharing...

Your advice is super helpful! I’m glad smaller channels such as yours in no way lack quality of content. Really cool vid

All of your videos are the BEST. Well videoed, lighted, explained, etc. Thank you soooooo much. I am in very poor health and modeling helps me relax. I am building models to pass on as part of the art that I do.

Friiiiiiiday... and with a new exciting Night Shift video.... Best day of the week of course 😍😍😍. Thank you so much for this very inspiring tutorial. You are my hero !!!

Always nice to see another night shift video and that sexy Eastern European accent. Informative and fun/ny

And to think I used to hate night shift, not anymore lol.....Great video.

Martin. Thanks buddy, bloody clever. Although I was with both aircraft and armour I am getting back into modelling aircraft after a few decades and your techniques and skills are inspired chap. Don't worry about the English. My Russian sucks and most of us can't speak English properly either😁

Another great one Martin.....cant wait for your next one, you have committed now ;-)

Martin, my dude, every single technique you do is astounding! I also really appreciate that you explain every step. I now know why my dot fading has never worked well (I flood the surface with thinner) =P

Andrew Schnack thank you for pointing that out, man i had the same problem but don't abandon the technique when you apply too much thinner with the oil dots it makes for great streaks and similar effects i love the filter washes but the dot filter technique is more direct

Well...the bloopers remind me of being in school and doing a presentation in front of the class.

Watching the pin wash getting around the small details.... ASMR part of every paintjob! Keep rockin' it! 🖖

Love your videos Night Shift! I learn more from your videos than any other or magazines for that matter.

Absolutely fantastic! simply the best channel from youtube!

It is really enjoyable to view your videos. And adding your sense of humour, HAH! Boooom ;)

Thank you for this very helpful and informative video. Great sense of humor too! Wish you were part of our model club. Cheers!

Brilliant video as usual Martin.

Brother, this is exactly why I think your next project should be a fantasy model - a robot of some kind (I think W.H.40K or Robotech) - it's because people who build, compete and judge these things need to see YOUR take on interpreting things like maintenance and environmental effects, how and what to add to a model, not to mention WHEN to leave the instruction's script in favor of your own, and especially, how to get the most realistic effects by not limiting yourself to just acrylics and a sharpie. (Whenever I see a kid on KZread color something in with a red sharpie, one of my sea monkies climbs out of his included underwater environment and throws itself into the 'money' candle I vigilantly keep burning next to the roller coaster section of the 9 piece ocean zoo. We have to stop the madness!) So you see, it's not just for me, it's for the monkies.

I do not know if someone has already said it sir, but its channel has become one of the best (If not, the best) modeling channels here in you tube. And I assure you that I do not like to praise in a simplistic way. Congratulations!

When it comes to varnish, I paint the base coat and camo, then gloss to apply water markings so they don't silver and to make pin washing faster, and then apply a matt coat to eliminate the gloss.

Blended oil dots knock the glossy finish down significantly, so they eliminate the need to apply another coat of varnish.

Thanks for the tutorial :) i am in the procces of washing Tamiya tiger I early, and while there is not much to wash on lower deck, the wheels are quite time consuming (overall 36 wheels :).

So apparently I will have to stop my King Tiger build (I am at chipping right now) and wait for your videos. They are so informative and right now I can see I fucked up a little with oils. Anyways keep up the good work!

"So sit back, grab your bottle of enamel thinner.." 😮 (12 seconds later) Me: spit out enamel thinner 😝

timestamp 4 : 15 "gently"

thanks for this tutorial. id like to know if there is a rule of thumb of what colors of oil paint you need for a specific color or tone. thanks !

Exciting!!! Like fine wine - getting better with age. Thanks for answering on your forum - much appreciated. If you were doing a three tone German camo late war what paint would you mix in to distress the base colour of Late War German Yellow - I'm using Mission Paints (similar to Tamiya's dark yellow...sort of). And for Red camo? Green camo? Would you distress an open fighting compartment like a Hummel or Nashorn? I'm thinking not however might be an interesting look. Thanks, Tim

@NightShiftScaleModels

5 жыл бұрын

That's a pretty interesting question. As for fighting compartments, I would probably add lots of distressing to the lower parts like the floors and lower half of the walls and keep it more "cleaner" towards the top. For distressing German yellow I'd just add white or light grey. Green and brown, hmm... adding German yellow could work, it would make them look more faded and would also work as a textured filter - it would slightly merge those 3 paints together.

Help, I am trapped in a wash applying/removin loop for 3 months now! D:

Bro you read my mind? I had some questions about blending oils. I was just about to do random stuff with them

Not sure if I missed it but a direct before and after at the end of the video would be awesome just to see the effect in action

Nice techniques sir👍I'd like to do the oil dots blending technique on my gray painted tank, any advice for what colours of oil paint would look good for the dots blending on a gray tank?

Martin, as many others have said, I think your videos are excellent and so helpful. I have a question for you. It looks like you sometimes apply acrylic paint techniques over oil washes and filters. Have you ever found this to be a problem? Do you use clear coats between the layers? I feel like I remember way back hearing that you can't put acrylics over oils. Thanks again for your wonderful videos

I don't ever see anyone else use this dot technique.

@@NightShiftScaleModels I have no idea why no one else uses it; but as a new modeler, I intend to! It looks very easy compared to other techniques.

Yes papi

For the oil dots, are you thinning the oil paint first before applying? If so, how thin? Loving the channel btw!

hey Night Shift! Really cool material as always! But I do have a question. Could you please tell me if is it possible that after base colour, when I protected it by leyer of Vallejo gloss varnish and painted it enamel washes tneh they did not dry in 24 hours?

Man everytime I see one of your videos it makes me want to get back to modelling! I really want to try those techniques on miniatures, especially the oil blending, the textures are really awesome! But something's always bothering me, they say to never put acrylic over oils, but I saw in some of your videos that you go back to acrylics for details after using oil washes and blending, without a varnish. Is it because the amount of oil paint you use is so low that it doesn't create problems? Or is it an overblown problem? Anyways, thanks for the videos, really enjoying them!

@NightShiftScaleModels

I guess it's like you said, their amount is very small. Might be also a bit overblown issue. Modellers have been doing it like this since I can remember (aka roughly since 2005) and there were never any issues reported in the modelling community. And hey, thanks a lot! I hope you'll give it a try and return to this hobby!

Hey, night. What oil colours would you generally use for olive drab base colours? I plan to do a Pershing (m26 by Tamiya). I avoided doing the filters on my Sherman as i didn't want to mess it up because i did a good preshading with it (i was experimenting)

Great video as always. I just did a pin wash on a model that was coated in Vallejo satin varnish and I get tide marks... I don't see that happening in this video and you mention you used a semi gloss coat. What could be my problem? Thanx in advance.

@NightShiftScaleModels

5 жыл бұрын

That's very interesting. I often had tide marks on matt surfaces, but never on a glossy or satin one. I honestly can't say what went wrong, but you can eliminate most of them by gently tapping the entire model with a large brush and small amount of thinner. Give the washes enough time to dry so you don't remove them. And also, there are many weathering techniques that can hide any remaining tide marks, like rust tones, dust, etc

@@NightShiftScaleModelsThank for the advice... I also noticed that my base coat.... Done using Tamiya Olive Green... Was a bit rough and sandy... Something I have noticed before on my models. I'm now thinking that was the initial issue and that the varnish was not sufficient to form a nice coat and take away the rough edges... I'll try some different combinations on plastic spoons to test...you also use Tamiya with lacquer Thinner... I'm going to give that a try to. Thanx and ill be looking forward to you next video 😀

First of all thank you for your wonderful video! I m a beginner and your videos are very helpful However i still do not enderstand why my enamel black wash is absorb and diffused when I apply it on a mat green color with a layer of semi gloss varnish. ( I use tamiya colors and varnish) If any one coult help me it will be nice :) Merci

Wow this was nearly a year ago, Do you Thin the oils down at all? They look quite thin when you apply the dots to the model, do you allow them to dry on the model before you start to blend them?

Keren bagus good👍

Hi, I painted a model with Vallejo spray paint. I’m using oil paint and mineral spirits for this and realized the spirits is also stripping the base coat. Haha... is this the reason for a clear coat??!! I thought Vallejo spray paint was an acrylic?

I want to see the type 97 chi-ha you made (*´꒳`*)

I've just bought some Mig wash and tried to use it but when I removed the wash with enamel thinner the paint also came off. Do you know what I'm doing wrong? I'm using Tamiya Acrylic paints with no varnishes and Revell Colour Mix.
