I love how the Stielhandgranate is just casually hanging our with the models.

I wasn't expecting a full painting video for months man you're incredible, keep up the amazing work I've learned so much from your series!

That's pretty interesting and a lot to think about. The random paint application really enhances the surface texture. I also like the shading around the rivets and hinges. It just seems to happen automatically. I would be very hesitant to try this myself, so it is good to watch how it works for you.

I was hesitant too, my friend, but this model seemed like the perfect opportunity to fully send it and see how it turns out :)

Spraying the hull with a dark brown actually gave it a nice worn dirty feel around the details, especially around the (fuel tank cap?) on the engine deck. Watching this has inspired me to grab one of these resin kits and try it out myself.

Thank you , Uncle Martin .

I feel like Night shift is the best model scale builder

The final recap is a great addition to the video, thank you

Uncle has blessed our weekends with his wisdom

Very cool effect! My favourite words to hear on KZread are "My friends, . . . "

I know that it's not realistic, but i like the blue touch that this tank have in World of Tanks. Anway this paint job looks amazing!

Heck yes, Friday, 1 AM night shift time! Great as usual my friend!

I've been rewatching some of your first vids(ball tank, Chi-ri) and man, the progress you've made over the past couple years is amazing to see.

"MAH-FRENS!" = The start of a great weekend!

The post-shading is on a whole other level. Like level 100 crime boss level. 👌

Greatest way to start a weekend.

That summary at the end was really cool.

This is why I love Fridays

I won't lie, looking at this kit has convinced me to start putting together for a decent resin printer and learn to 3D model, if I can make something even half this quality I'd be happy!

Normally i'm not the guy to place a comment, but i must say i've gotten into the hobby about half a year ago and i love it and especially i love seeing the progess i've already made. You've been a massive help and when i'm in doubt or need help i always end up finding a video you've made that helped me a lot. Kudos and keep doing what you are doing

she is a handsome beast -love the French oscillating turret designs !😍😍

Love your sense of humor and thanks for you vids!

Yugo t-34 when? Or maybe another T-72? Or a restoration of your old T-72? 😳 Love your work!

what a monster -- that barrel!! great work -- tx for the video.

Less is no longer more. More is more, nothing like excess.The Charles Darwin of armour modelling pushing the evolution of the hobby 😜. Great vid 👍👏

Awesome ! I laugh at the "boring french colour"

I'm excited to see how the model will look after all your subsequent weathering layers! Hopefully your airbrush work is more visible at the end of this project than on previous ones :)

Looking well very green. Nice job.

Good video.... so satisfying to watched it you paint that armor

"Boring French Green" if a paint range came out with these names, I'd buy them!

2:47 I love the mottled green/black effect! Could make for a cool camo pattern.

Nice potato masher. Awesome video, I picked up something today. Thank you.

I'm a figure painter but I always learn something from modelers. Thank you!

What you did is called black basing, and you did a darned good job at it:)

When I'm painting my Wargaming tanks, I paint and highlight to 11, then weather them back down to 10. Works every time.

Nobody better that you my friend, your are a really bless for scale model world hobby, rhanks for share this un le nigthshift... God bless you...

I've been watching your videos for years and, I'm always surprised to learn something new with each new video! Well done as always my friend! Keep up the good work!

Always a joy to watch!

Welcome back, Martin and happy new year. Your Friday evening videos are the perfect start to a weekend.

Interesting technique :), nice model! Thanks for sharing & for your video quality!

Very good. I like the summary at the end too.

You really are fantastic at your work.

I love the stylized look on models. I will try this.

damn I wasn't sold on the randomly applpied green coat, but at the end ??? it looks so good ???? wtf I'm in love now !!!!

Awesome work, thanks for sharing this new build

Great vid Great work! 👍👍👍

Maybe it's just me but something about the turret reminds me of a frog's mouth, and the green/brown mottling on the hull especially reminds me a lot of the coloration of typical frogs I see here in the USA. No, that's not an intentional reference to the WWI/WWII derogatory French/frog joke, it's just the visual I get from that particular design. It's quite appropriate in the overall look. The mottling strikingly supports the intended illusion of mass and shape rather than a boring hollow plastic shell. In any art (yes, this is art, dammit) knowing when to stop is critical whether it be individual steps or the overall work. So far I think you've done well on that score. What you've got now strongly suggests random coarse-scale sun fading of the factory paint with just enough shading to make details "pop" as they say, so subsequent weathering etc. should pretty much automatically build on that without you having to second-guess yourself (I hope). A white background gives a datum level for color balance in finished-product images but yeah, a dark background seems better (to my eyes at least) for the work-in-progress videos.

Yes is Friday Night Shit night……. You are the reason I started modeling so thanks for sharing your skills……….

Beautiful job Martin, really enjoyed this video, I’m still working on my mottling effect being rather new to the hobby but you teach us a lot and I wanted to Thankyou for all your hard work making these videos for us! Take care buddy ☺️👍

I think the French cold war tanks had more bluish-grey tint to the green, iirc the colour news clips. It looked like blue gray base, over which the camo was applied.

Замечательная работа. Мастеру 👏👏👏👏👏👍

It seems an easy technique to try for a beginner. I think I am gonna try it on my next model. Thanks for the clear explanation!

You are absolutely amazing, the king of model making, keep up the good work, thanks for your great videos!!

I really enjoyed the jadtiger build when you were working on it. This one is my second favorite build. Great job Night Shift!

Great video, Martin! I am going to try this technique on my next build!

Black background is great for me since these videos come out at 1 AM where I am. Easier on the eyes ;)

Hello. I have strictly bo interest in modelling, but your "ma friend" weekly is something addictive. And the quality of your video is very good. I don't know why, but i love this weekly update from estern europe. Thanks.

9:45 You can immediately see an important tool for any dispute.

Thank you my friend....

Uncle Night Shift first pixelled tank. :)

I've got to try this. Great model, my man!

Another week, another great Video full of Tipps!

I really like the finish look of the post shading. That's a really awesome technique you have developed can't wait to see what you do to it next week.cheers!! Oh yeah hope your leg is doing good 👍. I know some times when people break bones they have problems with it after it heals. I broke my wrist 30 years ago and I have problems with it somedays. Hopefully your doing great 👍 and have no problems with your leg.

Fantastic work buddy!!!!!!!

Also for a diorama it would be cool to see the ejected shells behind the turret, sense the auto loader spits them out the back, would be a cool detail to show it’s fired once or twice

Don't forget yellow headlights and all painted tool!

I will definitely be using these painting techniques in the future

Amazing work again

Lol bruh...so far it's looking good. Cheers mate!

Best time of the week!

Great ! Congratulations

Holy motley! That is a lot of visual texture! I like the idea of the heavier color variation, I think it can turn out well! (The new background is very nice)

Hi Martin, have you ever tested the „sea-salt-method“? You „mask“ the first baselayer of paint with a random layer of salt, stuck with waer to the model. This gives very nice, subtle and random worn paint effects if the second, third… layer of paint is appley onto it. Aircraft modeller use this quite often.

Hey, always love the videos. Pretty much my favorite thing to do on fridays and always looking forward to it. That said I notice that the pipod for the 50.cal or 12.7 browning as the french like to call it is very much green. Don't know if you going to paint it late (most likely) but they are always black in french army. I was with the legion for five years and the pipods and the guns were just blacked out steel that had been worn out over time to a mess of black and metal. Looking forward to the next week. Cheers.

looks great!

perfect, video releases just as my lunch begins

This just made my day man, thanks =)

Would love a magazine!!

Just decided to pull the trigger on a resin printer- hopefully in a week or two I'll be able to make some of my own designs. These things seem like a truly a liberating factor in the hobbying world. Now, if anyone can recommend a free or relatively cheap 3D modelling program, I'm all ears.

Blender is the good standard for art. Fusion 360 is a gimped version of Solidworks, the gold standard for technical models.

it depends on your personal situation, but if you have an email associated with a school/university, you can get a student license for Autodesk products, they only differ from paid with a "made with autodesk student" watermark.

No blender. Use Fusion 360. They have private personal license. There are some restrictions but anyway it is much better for the modeller than blender.

@@lobsterbark Thanks man, I appreciate the feedback. Have a good one.

One thing I learned from Plasmo is that he applies decals and then sands them down a little so they become more intergrated into the model/paintjob, maybe it's worth checking some of his stuff out? Also, nice mug :D

"Boring french Green" LMFAO

Nice blackground

Watching you grow has been the best part of this channel. Would love for you to try some other scales/genres

Hi Martin, at firxt I thought it looked a bit messy and uneven, but when you appliec the clear coat it lookec absolutely fantastic, well done mate, best regards from Australia.

Would you ever try a wargame vehicle? Like a GW ork battle wagon or something? Would be cool seeing a good modelmaker making this😊👍

Like the blackround

Uncle Night Shift has the Stielhandgranate in his display case incase someone tries to rob him of his models.

You have inspired me to start modelling! I got the Tamiya 1/35 m41 Walker bulldog and some basic tools. I have nothing for paints yet but I’m going to wait until I build the model

Although I’m probably going to start with a basic amazon airbrush. Do you have any paints that you suggest for American tanks? The kit includes Japanese paint jobs too

I would really be interested to see if this technique would work with lighter colours like dunkelb yellow. I think it works on mid tone colours like green and grey. But yellow might be different.

The translucent random base coat where the dark primer is showing through should help with those colors such as dunkelgelb, sand yellow, etc. :)

"Go" for the b(l)ackground! 👍 Yeah, these P-Touch printers are very useful; i have two of them. - Indeed, this video gave me some additional ideas for my still unstarted 1/16 RC Tiger I project... but i'm still undecided about the camo pattern! 🙄😭🤣

What we need is a tutorial on post-shading WITHOUT an airbrush.

For many years I have been adding gloss clear to all my paint

Man I wish I was this good at modeling...

1:57, I thought for a moment you were doing Math lol. Perfect timing, just as I sat down at the workbench, cheers uncle ;-)

Loving the new intro ;D

Uncle Night Shift getting to the point where you can see the .jpg compression of his reference pictures ... No really; something about this technique reminds me of old video game textures.
