HOW TO: Mix Your Own ACRYLIC DUST
Vložit
- čas přidán 26. 06. 2024
- Some of you were asking about that acrylic dust/rainmarks mixture I used in my Char B1 video.
It was in that video when I first explained how to work with brush applied acrylic dust, but I’ve been actually using this method for a few years already.
However it’s not just about mixing some tap water with paint, so I think a video about how to make your own dust mixture might come in handy.

So who's now gonna start painting dust using acrylic paints?
Well I may have to give it a try now :)
Also, holy shite, you're almost at 7000 subs :D
I’ll give it a shot... 😀
Dude your videos are good but are you giving out gold samples? Your sub count is insane. Way to go!
It's all thanks to that previous video :D
He's got bags of character.
My man It'sAgundam
"it's clean and wet". The new tap water slogan. Coming this fall
“Speaking of our planet - XF-52 Flat Earth....” I see what you did there 🤣
Me too. Of course our planet is flat, because every other object in observable universe is spherical, don't you all get it?...
"What did we learn today? Water - bad, soapy water - good!"
Sounds like it's time to make some tea.
Found this channel about two hours ago, already watched all of the videos and in the process of buying a armoured model I think I’m addicted already
Spruecutters,tweezers,you will use most,if good quality will last for years,so saves money to buy right once.Replacing cheap tool's soon adds up,and never ending.G/L
Uncle Night Shift is AWESOME ! He has helped me improve my armor modeling skills. I look forward t every video .
I added a drop of flow improver instead of soap. It works well too :)
You are by far the most charismatic CZcams model-er on the internet with perhaps the exception of Duncan from Games Workshop. But Duncan is a two-bit sell out so you win.
' It's clean and wet'... I just died laughing. I totally buy your sense of humour and your modeling skills of course. Thanks for the effort you put in those videos; inspiration and fun in one place. Cheers!
I don't believe in XF-52 LOL
I see what you did there ;) nice one
I play Bolt Action, and I absolutely LOVE your videos! You have helped me so much from how to approach a paint-job, to weathering, to details. As soon as I get paid again, I'm going to be a Patreon. You've helped me so much, and I get a big-head each time I put down a new tank or armoured vehicle on the table, from folks' picking it up and sometimes passing it around! I always say, "Look-up Nightshift. On CZcams! the guy is a Pro!" lol Keep modelling man! Be Safe brother.
Just started trying this out instead of pigments. I really hate pigments. Keep up the great vids.
They told me to do my own research - and I did! This video PROVES Flat Earth is real.
YES!!! Thanks a lot you, might've helped me solve the mixture problem I've been having...
I totally enjoy your videos, because the good humor and the great tutorial values it contains..Thanks for sharing.!
Love your technique videos and will have to mix up a batch of rain marks tonight. Thanks a million!
Thanks for the video. I made my own sand wash for Tunisia camo styles and am really happy with the results. Cheers!
Continue to find you fun and entertaining but still lots of great tips and techniques! Keep up the great work!
Stumbled across your vids and love them mate! Very instructional and funny also. Fantastic learning resource and your vids have me getting back into modelling after 40+ years. Great bro, just great!
The value of your information in this video is incredible. People just beginning this hobby owe you for your exceptional video quality and super valuable info. Many thanks.
You. Are. the MAN my dude.
You even weathered the pipe wrench! Now that's dedication! ;)
Another great tutorial! Thank you very much - they are not only informative but also enjoyable. Love what you are doing with the channel!
thanks a lot!
Try using a hairdryer next time you encounter a stubborn Tamiya lid. Works like a charm, plus it doesn't make the lids look like trash!
Some of the best tips ever and given in such an entertaining way 👏
So Uncle Night Shift also conveys basic physical laws... soap in water = surface tension of water bye bye... I'm just pretending to have known that before, but now a few things are becoming clear to me. Diluting colors with window cleaner works well... not so much with water... now I understand why... Thank you dear Uncle Night Shift 🙂
More good stuff from my favourite modelling Slovakian.
Talented as hell. Mad as a badger.
Just the way they should be.
Perfect timing as I'm weathering a model this weekend. Great video as always!
ISU with that big fat gun? :) Loving it mate.
I’d like to see a tutorial on dusting vehicles, fixing the pigments etc! Loving the videos 👍🏼
Sometimes hot water, lid down wait few minutes and it should open. Keep up the great modelling
You are a hoot...love the ease of your explanations.I think your info will help me dust acrylic and Goush paintings thanks.
Once again, YOU'RE AWESOME !! this could not have come at a better time, and you could not have explained or shown this any clearer. Thank you :)
That's so awesome to hear! Thank you!
Very nice! TEN OUT OF TEN!
Great technique I’ll definitely have to try fiddling around with this. Another cracking piece of work.
Thanks Scott, definitely worth trying it out!
It's decided, I'm gonna replace all my metric and imperial measurement with brush loads. I just have to figure out the conversion ratio.
Oh god, when I was new to airbrushing and tried to clean out my airbrush with water after using Tamiya paints. That was a fun afternoon pulling the gunk out of every crevice......
You inspire me to do better , thank you for sharing
When transferring paint, I use a drinking straw, dip it into the paint, pop your finger over the end, and release finger when paint is in the right pace.
I rate this technique a *TEN OUT OF TEN* as I smash my computer screen, very nice
RIP screen. Thanks!
You can't weather tanks with JELLO! Soap to the rescue! I love it.
Thank you for the video, I will be suing this method on my ECTO-1
Great idea. I will try this!!!
Really love this kind of tutorials :-)
Killer soapy chocolate milk recipe, thank you perfect time for the holidays!
Brilliant content!
Awesomeness......again!! My Martin fix for this week....need this daily ;-)
Wish that were possible, but unfortunately each video takes hours to produce :) Thank you
Loving the videos 👍
True weathering revolution
Not really, but it's one of the lesser known techniques!
Great video! Thanks
I guess the soap breaks surface tension, like the flow aid or the acrylic thinner every miniature painter (who has never followed scale model painting) uses, yet if you use enamels, the thinning mineral spirits do the trick... very interesting and useful video, thank you!
Dude, you do a fantastic job with your videos. Great instructional content mixed with liberal doses of humor. That makes them informative and entertaining! Keep up the amazing work and I'm looking forward to your future productions!
Why didn't I find this channel sooner? Awesome tutorials! You deserve a lot more subscribers. Thank you and keep the videos coming, they are brilliant and so is your humour! 👍
Thanks a lot and welcome!
Loving the videos, and the bloopers!!
Thanks!
I like how you explain things clearly. You deserve more subscribers.
Thank you!
That "10 out of 10" part cracked me up 😂
Been making my own washes for years, acrylic paint and windex
Amazing. Thanks!!!!
Absolutely love your modelling work and videos mate, educational and entertaining 10/10. Found your channel just in time for my first entry into historical tanks and inspiration is at all time high.
Great Video! Thank you!!
Love your videos informative and very entertaining!
Thanks!
THE MADLAD USED THE METAL GEAR SOUND EFFECT
Number one Martin!!!!🏴☠️🏴☠️🏴☠️🏴☠️🏴☠️
Thanks!
your videos are amazing, the only other scale modeling channel i think is the same league is plasmo. keep up the good work, i'm sure your subscriber count will grow!
thanks a lot!
7.000... your stellar my night shift friend!!😁😁😁 Way to go!!
Being a night owl has been paying off quite well recently! It's absolutely incredible and I'm one grateful individual for that!
You sir are the master. I'm sure AK is already trying to sell their own mix now haha
Just love your style Martin ....... regards Fred
Great stuff ! Thank S for sharing ;)
This is an awesome tip!!! Thanks for sharing. If possible, could you please do a weathering tutorial on desert coloured tanks? I have given up on them, because it always looks terrible when I do it. Green or dark colour tanks are fine for me, though.
Your videos are the best. Keep up the good work.
Thank you for sharing, the dish soap tip will stop the lumpy goop that happens in the past.
Yup, turns out it depends a lot on water... Spanish and US water apparently doesn't do this :D
Perfektne videa, narazil som na nich uplne nahodou. Rataju sa mi aj tie srandicky -kecy okolo. Podstatne vymakanejsia a pocuvatelnejsia anglictina ako napr. plasmo - tam to je des, ale zase ma tiez vybornu kvalitu modelov. V zhliadnutiach sa sice na neho nechytas zatial ale mozno ked vydrzis s videjkami tak to pojde hore. Drzim palce.
I've been making mine using vallejo acrylics, water and a little bit of tamiya acrylic thinner, but not enough to make the vallejo stuff curdle, just enough to add a little bit of surface tension and make it smooth out
Awesome tutorials and great presentations. Wish You all the best and 100.000 subs !!!
Thank you! Hopefully one day!
excellent
I really like your modelling style, and I'm going to try your secret recipe on a Gundam right now. Thanks for sharing and cheers from Spain
To open seized Tamiya bottles, you can turn bottle upside down, drip LT or AC into the crack, wait a few mins with the bottle upside down and use a small screwdriver to slightly lift the sides of the lid away from the glass. Voila, open.
Thank you
Cool info with dish soap, Thanks!
Some people in the comments pointed out their water doesn't behave like that, which leaves me quite mind blown, so I'd say try it with regular water first and if doesn't work, you know what to do next :)
@@NightShiftScaleModels I will try ;)
Thanks for sharing commander Kovac ;-)
NP comrade :)
Another great tutorial Martin. Keep em coming. I think acrylics could make a quick and durable base layer for further earth effects. Thanks for sharing!
You, sir, are one woke individual. You understood the point of this mixture perfectly - quick to work with, fast to dry, and durable like nothing else! And it doesn't smell bad, that's another pro. I honestly don't see any cons with this technique, that's why I'm woke as well and use it most of the time :D
@@NightShiftScaleModels Honestly I don't use acrylics for weathering. I usually go with oils as a base followed by pigments in wet and dry form. But the oils take forever to cure permanent and pigments aren't durable and, only used at a final touch. I see lots of potential in your method for those of us who like to build layer upon layer. I will try it on my next build. Thanks again mate
@@gtojon2000 acrylics are great because as you layer them on top of each other, the previous layer is already dry when you start adding another one
@@NightShiftScaleModels Yes sir Martin. I completely agree. The quick dry time allows for quick build up. Subtle or higher opacity depending on the needs. I'm Jon and look forward to further chat!
@@gtojon2000 Hey Jon, exactly and they can be always adjusted with an extra layer of enamels or pigments if necessary. Like I said, acrylics are really good.
thank you man !!!
thank you too!
Nice. You have very interesting way of making the channel. And that methot is also very interesting. All the best for You! ;)
Someone's getting more and more popular!! Congratulation, it's well deserved! :)
I can wait to see what have you done with that "Nippon steel" monster.
Thanks! That Nippon sensha will be subarashii!
I liked and hit favourite and subbed when you yelled 10/10 for the nice soapy mixture and stabbed the paper lol it made me laugh.
upload more, don't stop grindin dude you are an ARTIST. That's a sub from me :D
Para abrir los botes de pintura Tamiya aplicar calor en el tapon durante un par de minutos con un secador o bajo el chorro de agua caliente del grifo y se abrirá sin esfuerzo.
To open Tamiya paint cans apply heat to the cap for a couple of minutes with a hair dryer or under running hot water from the tap and it will open effortlessly.
Already subbed, already liked, found that Ring notification button not clicked .. so I clicked it.
Ah-ha!
these videos are awesome! i would love to see what you could do with a more sci fi model, like the warhammer 40k stuff :D
Your channel is so amazing ! Enjoy watching your vids and learn new tips ! Could you please clarify what's in the light purple bottle ? The rain mix looks awesome
Nice.
Now tell me how to make my own Angel Dust 👍🏻
I died laughing when you opened the bottle of German Grey and found it dry. The MGS alert tone was perfect LOL
Impressive video once again.
You can also create very realistic dust effects by leaving models on your workbench for a few months ;)
Yes, but the scale might be an issue 🤔
Got those colours, got some spare bottles, got the soap, water, not a problem. Going to give this a go. Great tip, will put this to some use.
Hope you don't mind me giving you a tip..... When taking the lid off a jar that is a bit stiff, put you pliers on the other way around, it's a whole lot easier. You had them on for clockwise direction....... lol
Thanks for the tip! From now on I'm just gonna try to keep my bottles clean so they'll be easy to open at any point.
@@NightShiftScaleModels Your welcome...... Now carry on with the good work. Very enjoyable videos, something for everyone 👍🏻
Love your videos man! Can we get a 3 tone ambush camo king tiger now 😁😁
Najbolji channel!!!
Thanks!!!!
NP ;)
The way you fill the jar with the brush, you get soap in your brand new paints! That cant be good, right? Love your vids, keep them coming!
I think it was a different brush, or I thoroughly cleaned it in water :D I wouldn't risk ruining them for sure!
And if you mean dipping it in the soapy mixture and then in the paint, I did it several times in the past and luckily everything was fine!
Night Shift that was what i was refering to. Just a small amount of soap and the paint could behave differently. Some extra bubbles in the airbrush?😏
you’re giving me new video ideas, you know that? 😅
@@NightShiftScaleModels 🤣looking forward to that!
I think that a tutorial on how to do a filter would be great as im totally unaware about what a filter is, thank you.
Noted!
Amazing..I'd like to make a skin wash like the Army Painter...which is hard to find..just a suggestion for your next video ;)
Nice, very helpful, just yesterday I was cleaning my working space.... and I got read of sow many Tamiya bottles... now I understand their potential😧😵😭
they’re the most luxurious paint bottles!
@01:30 I usually drop a little bit of thinner into the gap between the cap and the bottle, wait for a little and then It'll come loose again.
