My favorite tank is the IS-2 I have just bought a 1/72 scale revell model, this video was quite useful for me....

You make my skills better, along with practice. I thank you! This simple video will now be a standard for me to follow.

I have three 1/100 scale T-34s on my desk right now and I've been asking myself "Can I chip the armour on these? Can I use rust washes at this tiny scale?" and now this video has answered all my questions.

Excellent idea of painting a small scale vehicle. Thanks!

Great tutorial. As a 1/72 scale fan, I found it very useful. Thank You! ;)

Good eyes and a steady hand Mr Kovac, always helps with something of this scale. Nice "little" model 👍🏻

IT LOOKS SO FREAKING AWESOME! I LOVE IT!!!

I practice painting , detailing, weathering etc on this scale as the models are normally quick and easy to build and then give or sell my models to wargamers after😊 Great video as ever , thanks

Night Shift most wargamers aren’t modelers ( sorry for generalizing!) and often just do a basic ( by modelers standards) paint job to get their army on the table. Aim to build a platoon size set as they like to buy in sub units. Often now , War gamers come to my to build a specific model for a specific event or game. Some of the Bolt Action game armour models are beautiful and rare in the traditional modelling scales. I’ve also done a lot of work . Team Yankee is also popular. I got started by taking my small Cood War armour to play a Bokt Action game and when they say my armour they were asking me to do theirs. ( my standard is not that high!) I also try to encourage them by explaining and showing techniques, recommending your videos etc. I know there some war gamers who take great pride in building and painting too! We all have our own thing! I used to wargame but it got too complicated for me ! Lol

@@NightShiftScaleModels you can probably sell 1/72, 1/100, and 1/144 scale vehicles in platoon sets. You can also do interesting small dioramas as objective stands.

You sir have got a new fan!!

thank you so much for this! i play a tabletop game called flames of war and it uses lots of models in this scale, and i had no idea how to make them look good. but now i do, so thanks!

A great video, so informative. You are a true artist and so inspiring. Thanks and respect.

I've just begun an Emhar 1/72 WWI MkIV, so this has come at the perfect time, Martin, cheers mate. And well done on another fantastic paint job. I can't wait until part 2.

Thank you , Martin .

When the vapors of the paint start to kick it...

Very interesting. And perfect timing! I have just finished a wargaming model and in process I referred to your videos about thousand times :)

there's more to the concept of ambient occlusion than what's being done here which is basically a drop shadow. Wikipedia has a nice paragraph that explains what is done. "Ambient occlusion is most often calculated by casting rays in every direction from the surface. Rays which reach the background or “sky” increase the brightness of the surface, whereas a ray which hits any other object contributes no illumination. As a result, points surrounded by a large amount of geometry are rendered dark, whereas points with little geometry on the visible hemisphere appear light."

Uncle Night shift from the future sent me here. Invest in facemasks and hand sanitizer Uncle!!!

I'm thrilled you adopted Ambient Occlusion. And it makes a lot of sense in this context. Nice video.

OMG I love you 😂! Thats more my scale! Not because I try to build a Tiger 1 in 1/700 right now, but normally its 1/72 or 1/87. Now I need you to upload every friday.

Nice model! But now... I require a 1/35 KV2 turret in a 1/75 KV2 hull...

As always very interesting and informative. And the result looks awesome.

Looking forward to the finished product, looks great so far!

Could you please do a 1:72 British FV214 Conqueror Tank or a centurion? I’d also love to see a helicopter in 1:72 scale sometime! Keep up the good work, every video is worth a watch and helps me with my own model painting techniques.

Nice one. I have the BMP1 and M2 Bradley from this series. I picked them up to have something simple to work on when I was in between big projects. You have motivated me to pull them out of the stash and make them look real nice!

We love you uncle!

NightShift!:) Thank you very much for your creativity, thanks to your videos I discovered the world of modeling! I watch your videos from the first, and always look forward to new ones! Thank you for all the techniques you showed in your videos! Sorry for the bad English.

Those tracks are coming straight from hell^^

Great vid Night Shift! I have a bunch of 1/100s from Zvezda I've built, I'm tempted to come back and try your tips on them.

This is great! I personally like to built these mini scale models ( mostly because space is very limited in my appartment...), and this video taught me alot! Thanks!

Looking Awsome!

Looking good! Can't wait to see how you treat the tracks.

Great stuff again, thanks for putting this together. Liking the change of pace also, this makes me want to go grab one or two 1/100 armor kits to bash around with some practice... excellent!!

(Very) Fine work! Thanks for posting!!

The little tank is so awesome

Thanks mate for this video, I recently bought one and could not for the life of me find a good way to paint it.

Brilliant, can't wait to see the next vid.

Awesome! Very cool.

Martin, you´re the man! beaty tank man...

I love 1/100 zvezda so much!

Militarily awesome videos my man!

Awesome work mate for a little kit turned out great till next time have a good one

Awwww, yeah! IS from my motherland!)

I know this isn't something super detailed, or the same quality as you are used to with the larger scales, but if done well like this, a whole table of these micro-beauties looks amazing! No need to look down on Wargaming miniatures, they get just a lot of love from their owners, just like any model!

6:23 IS-2 is happy.

Love it. Extra points for the AO pass :D I'm a 3d artist so i had quite some fun when you mentioned it :D

Keep the amazing videos coming my friend. Loving all the knowledge. You should do a basic armor modeling supplies video. I have a collection of table top mini style paints. But would love to know how to get my foot in the door to weather them like this!

Awesome!!!!! I still want to see you do something fantasy, like a robot or futuristic armor. Basically, anything armored and mechanized - but not anything real. I think it would be great to see how you interpret something with no factual reference. I really want this! I know that most of your fans / subs are historical, but I think it's the mark of a professional. I think your exploration would bring the same discussion into a different light - this will (I believe) not only bring you new subscribers, but separate the technique from the medium. In other words, make an abstract of the talent and acquired skills. It will bring learning to us all. In any case, I loved this video! Thank you so much for making it!!!
