My First Real Attempt At Painting Stowage (Gone Serious) | M4A3E8 Sherman Easy 8 | Tamiya 1/48

- It's time to face my stowagephobia and paint my first pile of stowage (and all the obligatory details like engineering tools and some extra chipping). The occasional tarp painted with oil paints like we did on this channel before doesn't really count as stowage, so this is gonna be my first serious experience! (WET PALETTE ORDERED).

The concrete looks even better now! Well done uncle Nightshift
Few bullet impacts in the concrete would look good.
I didn't think about adding shrapnel damage while I was building the model. It would be rather risky adding them now, my bad!
@@NightShiftScaleModels what glue do you use for your models
Captain_badland it looks like mainly mr cement s with superglue for small and non plastic parts and also ca glue for non plastic parts. He sometimes will use many others from Tamiya and more brands
instablaster...
I have never seen a military crate (and I was in the US Army fro many years) without extensive stenciled printing, describing the contents of the box. I use dry transfers. It's a great detail and adds a lot to the look.
Very true. I wanted to try adding a few inscriptions with black paint and a paintbrush, but the results would probably be... variable to say the least. Any recommendations for a good dry transfer set?
@@NightShiftScaleModels Archer transfers would be the best option.
Who says that they are definitely military crates though..? OK, military issue crates do have more data stamps on them than a pizza box - YES, BUT if the crew 'liberated' a blue oil can from a farm or garage, maybe they liberated some boxes of tempting civilian 'stuff' also..?
@@NightShiftScaleModels Verlinden used to offersets of dry-transfer stencils for US Vehicles. The text is so small that it's unreadable, but it looks good; so it works for any Latin-based language. On vehicles or boxes. They can still be found on eBay. I built up a stash... Archer has some, too.
@@NightShiftScaleModels Cartograf does some amazing stuff, really depends on who is driving that tank.
Thinning with tap water is going to be very dependent on the hardness of your local tap water.
right, so I can consider myself lucky if I haven't noticed any difference
As someone in a particularly hard water area, I'll have to experiment a bit.
@@NightShiftScaleModels I have really hard water. So hard in fact that you get limestone rims on anything that the water sits on.
So distilled water works a treat for mixing paint. Much better than tap water.
I love how that concrete looks! It looks so realistic with the tiny chips.
I love when when you upload, even though I'm not going to be painting my models anytime soon, it's nice to watch and learn how to paint them, it's also really interesting to watch, keep it up! :)
oh, I hope you'll be back at the workbench soon!

"I didn't have CONCRETE evidence for that"
Well played
As a stowage maniac, I’m proud of you, Night Shift.
Also is it just me or does the Sherman mantlet look like the tank is insane?
This tenk big mad
"I... see~ Dead Ti~gers..."
Watched the channel to pick up weathering techniques for gunpla and found the channel itself and the techniques so interesting that it's forced me to buy a tank model to try them on lol
I think all such modellers make a very serious mistake in weathering. These tanks are brand new! They are months old. Yet they get covered in decades worth of rust. Completely unrealistic. I think because they have lost perspective, these vehicles are brand new!
Distilled water is purified (boiled) and has less minerals, resulting in more consistent results.
right, so it's the safest way to achieve good results, regular tap water can be a hit or miss depending on where you live
They use distilled water cause it does not have the minerals in it unlike tap water, it's basically clean microscopically
but why is that better?
@@R_Turbo_Rider if the water has too many minerals in it the paint can get chalky when it dries.
Correct.
Some places actually add things like floride, minimal amounts of chlorine and calcium.
Chlorine if the amount is great enough will discolor paint even when the paint is dry.
Just like chlorine in the water is the reason you are supposed to use distilled water to top up lead acid batteries and radiators because it also pitts metals.
so regular tap water can be perfectly fine or pretty much useless depending on where you live. similar to how I advised to add liquid soap if you want to dilute Tamiya paints with tap water, and many people told me they never experienced the same problems I did.
Chemist here: Besides being free from minerals that also means it is neutral in polarity, which means that pigments wont cling to one another due to static charge.
That's what the pros say too. That said, I've never been able to tell the diffrence.
Watching you work is like a "Zen" experience. Great way to unwind after a hard week's work. Less of a hangover than the pub..🤔🇬🇧
Everyone's a general, after the battle is over... you don't know just how true that is. Great job.
Imagine clicking super fast on the video?
I can relate
Waited for half an hour for the video to drop
Great video!! Best tank modeler I know!!👍🏻❤️
Stowage looks great! Glad the video is out, waited all week for this!
You can blend acrylics. It is how I do figures too and any stowage. Look up wet blending.
Easily my favourite modelling channel!
Stowage does a lot to make a model look unique. I'm glad to see you are finally dabbling in a little stowage action. Great video as usual, looking forward to the next!
Wow, the best learning effect. Each Video teaches me more! Well done mate!
A great result Uncle. I can never seem to get my tarps and stowage right, but you have given me a few tips here to try. Love the channel, so keep them coming please!
Hands down my favourite CZcamsr. Keep up the good work!
I'm always blown away by the quality of these videos. Obviously the modelling/painting is excellent, but it's clear that a lot of effort has also gone into choice of shots, lighting, quality of audio, and the editing. It's awesome! Keep it up!
Superbly painted stowage, absolutely brilliant.
Just got back off holiday to find a load of CZcams videos from my favorite subscriptions waiting for me to watch. I left the best til last and have just watched uncle Night Shift tarting up this Sherman in such a realistic way. Great videos as always! Luvit!
It is impossible not to watch it to the end. Many thanks!
Wow Martin great work as always. I have learned a lot from you and this video.
Well, I should not be surprised that the usual Uncle Nighty makeover can make even a Sherman look amazing.
Thanks for this video! These tools and stowage really are a great addition to armored vehicles, I'll definitely test it out asap.
This guy is obviously a pro and dare I say a master modeler. The way he narrates while each process is being cared out, is extremely entertaining and informative!! I definitely look forward to each and every new addition to CZcams, which he uploads.
Finally you finished it, I waited so much
Wow! You are so incredibly skilled! Please keep making those awesome videos. I love them and they help me a lot with my models.
Greetings from Munich,Germany
this channel inspired me to get back into scale modelling. thank you
Just thought id drop in a reason for why weld beads dont corode, (they do just differently) the reason lies in the type of weld, all these welds were done with a stick welder, which uses a rod coated in a material that, when heated up in the welding process, forms something that is effectively glass, this is done to protect the weld from oxygen as it cools to prevent porosity (the weld being shitty), this glass is then broken off with a hammer and scrapped away, however, a very thin layer remains on the surface of the weld, and this protects it from oxygen and water, so it corodes slower over all, there are other reasons, most to do with the type of metal used in welding filaments, both then and today, but thats the rough spark notes and what I was taught when I was younger, hope that helps, or was at least interesting.
keep up the great work Martin.
~Jay
Honestly, my wife and I were very impressed! Please keep up the good work!
Another great video keep it up my guy!
I really needed this video for my stowage for my 1/35 Sherman 105 Thanks ;)
Turns out stowage can be quite fun :)
Great looking concrete and great looking stowage. Thank You for the video! ;)
I’ve just started getting into models and these videos get me excited for when I start with tanks
Fantastic paint job!
It's good to see another's technique. Thank you.
You and Alpay Efe both uploading within the same day? Brilliant! Love your videos, keep up the good work!
I always enjoy your video. The concrete texture is very nice. I also think storage painting looks like figure painting, especially using highlight and shadow.
I LOVE the stowage! It looks excellent!
MARTIN!!!! You are TOOO good. Its almost upsetting how good you are lol.
You have done a great job on the stowage. Great work on the model all round.
why is this stuff so relaxing?, i always have to watch twice because i fall asleep the first time
Really enjoying this one
Looking so awesome! I like how simply using the same colors but mixing up the order and the amounts created such variations in the tarps and wooden crates. The blue can adds some awesome little punch of contrast and story to the tank and its crew.
Also unless people are having tap water come out of their sink with chunks of calcium and deposits of rust or whatever, if you don't notice a difference then does it really matter? Even IPMS judges do not take out their microscope. But I don't know, I've never met an Ex Soviet IPMS judge. I am pretty sure the people that "demand" it to be distilled are the same people that are going to be arguing in the comments about the proper 1944 field applied concrete color based on the types of aggregate available in Europe at the time...
Stowage is my favorite thing to paint. we are opposites. it looks great
Not gonna lie, it's very enjoyable!
Great job uncle Nightshift
The tarps look so goood!
You inspired me to start building models myself. Tomorrow my T-62 from Trumpeter will be here 😍
awesome job Uncle!
Hey Night Shift. I'm loving your content and I wonder if you'll do a video for getting into model building and painting? Just outlining where to begin, what materials you think are necessary, what models are good to start with and where to expand from?
Looking good!
Great work, my friday friend!!!!
I like the wood effects on the boxes
I’m loving this series...
Looks awesome. 👍👍👍👍
Thanks foe a another great video and more new techniques to try
YES more videos means more happiness.
Looking NOICE! One thing I love when painting wood, is to get all the shading and washes down over the base colour and then - right at the end - paint some tiny fresh scratches with pure Iraqi Sand, as if some 'ape' has dragged and bashed and bumped the boxes when loading them. Not only does the contrast really make the previous stages pop, but it gives a bit more back-story to the boxes... as if they got dirty, worn and then were handled and chipped, cracked or dented more recently as well.
Hey Uncle! Love your videos. Really useful. I am 40k wargamer but always try to paint my minis in more "realistic" way. One thing that would be super useful if you could tackle one day: painting black vehicle (tank especially) with some chipping and weathering. I know there is not many exaples of that out there in the nature, but I would love to see how military scale modeller approaches that topic.
Love the barn find oilcan Unc. TFS, G :)
Please do a tank with rubber tracks for once, i have to see your approach to it.
Your method for doing three tone highlighting is a new one to me. I just used to paint the shadow, then the base coat and then the highlight. However I like how you did it so I’m gonna give it a try on my next miniature and see how it goes. Once again I’ve learned something new from you!
You're a damn modeling wizard mate!
Very well done
Glass on the hatch looks great.
Not bad for a noob. As a professional miniature painter, I can tell you that you're doing a very good job. Kudos.
Turned out great!
Awesome work, I learned a few tips :)
Nice work, Uncle Nightshift! The tarp looks awesome. Honestly, the biggest appeal for me to use distilled over tap water is that it doesn't turn "stale" like tap water does because of the lack of bacteria and minerals in tap water, so it stores in my squeeze bottles for months without issue. I don't think it would really affect paint much if you're working with fresh tap water, but I think the biggest appeal of distilled is the consistency. You know what you're going to get when you mix it vs whatever mix of stuff is in your tap water on that day in your particular geographic region.
Ooh, the beige!!
great job congratulations
Thank you , Uncle Martin .
tarp sensei life goals
I don't intend on getting into tank modeling, but your vids have given me a whole lot of ideas for Warhammer 40k.
I love watching these for the cool looking techniques and painting style. Personally I paint Warhammer 40k models but I prefer doing them in this more "realistic" look, probably never gonna happen but I'd love to see Uncle Night Shift do something like a Death Guard Plagueburst Crawler but treating it like it was a REAL tank! He'd be able to have fun showing off all the weathering, rusting, grime and all those other fun mucky techniques of his with something like that! :D
AMAZING!
, "tarp sensei", 😂, so cool, stowage looks first class, hope my 1:35 easy eight stowage turns out that good 👍😊
Parádní video
Martin... Wet palette: get a shallow lidded box like a candy box. Plastic or such. A layer of kitchen towel paper or a kitchen sponge. Wet it. Add pergamin paper. Wet palette. Also add a copper or brass rod to keep the mold away.
Also with acrylic paints check out wet blending. Miniac, Squidmar and Trovarion have great vids on wet blends. :) love this tank of yours. I'd love to see you try your hand on an M60 Patton or the newest Abrams :)
You do a better job with a 48th scale vehicle than I could with a 16th scale ha ha. Awesome as always dude. Great job with the stowage!
Night shift: "Texture is my most used word."
Also Night Shift: "Aka"
Awesome video! :D
I believe that in many areas 'tap water' includes various impurities, calcium, iron, etc. Especially if you're water comes directly from a well. All of those particles could effect you paint...
At first i will admit, i wasn't a fan of the OD, but now that I have tried it in 1/35 (made it slightly darker), i found it growing on me quite a fair bit. You did a far better job on the stowage than I did on mine.
Nice, as usual!
Love your videos. (You're the only person I hit like on every video)
I would love to see your take on a Bandai AT-ST. Sure it's not a tank, but it technically is armor. Could be a nice change/challenge up for you. Just a thought. Plus I'd like to see where your creativeness would take it.
Uncle nighshift, you can make a wet pallet very easily by getting a flat container. put some paper towel on the bottom and wet it. next get some parchment paper and lay it over top of the wet paper towel. it works great!!!! keeps my acrylics going for a very long time.
I had a ghetto wet palette like that in the past :) Unfortunately it wasn't very practical, too big and thus I didn't use it very often. The one I mentioned in this video already arrived and it's very neat! It's sitting right on top of the metal palette right now, always at hand.
@@NightShiftScaleModels nice can't wait to see you use it!
I reckon you're getting better 😁👌
Sensationell ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
STOWAAAAGE! ❤️❤️❤️
Excellent work again, cant see where we can make it better, thats why i dont understand why 11 people set a thumbs down and dislike it.
Your a magician Mate and have inspired me to do modelling again after a very long time. Going to tackle a a 1/35 Australian Centurion Mk5. A question in pre planning do you have a vid on applying dust as in everything covered in it, it wasn't all jungle mud in Vietnam, or can tell me how to do so please ?
Love the Sherman. Keep the American tanks coming with an Abrams next! I think a more modern change would be good for a quick series
Wargame painter, here, common order of operations when painting (well, much of anything but especially) cloth and other drape-y materials-
- Darkest color as an undercoat, your deepest shadows and darkest desires tend to show through multiple layers of acrylic, even if it's subtle.
- slowly build up layers, lightening things and covering a little less surface each time, to make your gradients. Dry-brushing isn't required, but damn does it help.
- your second-to-final color is usually a very thin dry-brush of what will probably be what prints as the tarp/cape/flag's color in people's minds, because it simulates where the light is hitting the most: flat spots, major raised areas, and so on.
- last but not least, something significantly brighter than that, on edges, any sharp corners, and sometimes (if you want it to look satin-y or the like) in streaks to simulate added, intense reflections of the light.
Most of us are typically going for something with a sort of comic-book look for our miniatures, looking less like a photograph and more like we could imagine Judge Dredd punching a dude next to the model and it not looking too terribly out of place.
It's really clever to put Tin foil on top of the color palette! I have always been feeling frustrated after I use the palette for oil paints and try to clean it, but a layer of tin foil can easily solve the problem!
The cooling grid on the engine bay may look a bit flat, even with the dark tones you used to paint on it.
I thought of cutting small groves in the grid "holes" with hobby blade, and filling them with a darker tone might give the illusion of some space under it.
It might not be possible with the paint coat already on, but just to now if feasible.
And great vid or course ! Eager to see the finished tank !
Holy crap that stowage looked nice at the end
