- Spare tracks are one of those details that can be more difficult to paint than one would think. In this video I'll try to make them look as interesting as possible while still keeping the effects somewhat realistic.

2:40 in and the tracks already look spectacular :D
last time I was this early Steiner was still assemblying troops for counter-attack
“My Führer.... Steiner...”
When I was on a M577A2 in the US Army Reserves, the extra tracks had a black rubberized paint on them. They stayed black for the 10 years I used this M577A2.
I doubt the Germans used that in WW2, but your point is well made. This is the typical over stylized weathering that is in fashion with some. Simulating 20 years of wear on a tank that survived less than 2 years of use in real life.
If it's what he likes, why does it matter?
Last time I was this early the Tiger still looked weird.
🤣
Oh sh- I didn't even notice your comment before writing mine xD
OMG IT'S FRIDAY and Uncle NightShift is here. This is so much more than..."dare I say..." Christmas morning!!!??? "Maybe I'm being to pretentious...?"
Ah, my favorite slavic accent on CZcams!
There's more than one?
Watch paweł spychalski for example if you want another one)
You never heard Boris I assume?
Hey man, visual storytelling is the best excuse to do just about anything on a model!
It always makes my day when you upload!
When we gonna see some "Uncle Night Shift" swag? We all want to know!!!!
If you got any ideas, I'm all ears 😄
@@NightShiftScaleModels a shirt that says new capitalist toy, with a picture of a photo etched bending jig
@@NightShiftScaleModels Well, lots of people like Camo Print. Maybe you could have Camo T Shirts, pants or hoodies but weathered and rusty. That would go so well with me seeming I'm 44 this year. While all the younger people can wear all the brand new cam, I can rock out with my Night Shift "Battle proven" Camo Hoodie 😎
@@NightShiftScaleModels I think that the most important thing for merch is to purchase something that has the broadest appeal possible, and requires you to keep in stock as few different options as possible. For example, if you wanted to have two colors of T shirt with the logo on them, you'd need to purchase Small, Medium, Large, X-Large shirts in both colors, that's a lot of stuff! Compare that to say, a trucker hat, where you only need one size because it's adjustable.
I think that it might be worth considering making the night shift logo available on a print-to-order service like Teespring, which has no upfront cost since you don't need to buy a bunch of stock, and would allow you to upload as many designs as you'd like -- at the cost of taking some of your profit.
The actual helpful suggestions out of the way, I think a really cool design for a piece of Night Shift merch would be a T-shirt, hat, hoodie, or whatever, that's olive green but has been chipped and weathered in the signature night shift style, complete with a stencil-style weathered white night shift logo
@@boryancrum2196 Good considerations all. I'd add only a T-shirt printed entirely with a close-up photo of weathered tank tracks. They'd look like abstract art.
Great video, Martin, those were some of the best painted tracks I've seen! You and Panzermeister always make a great beginning of the weekend! Stay safe and happy modelling!
It’s an absolute pleasure to watch you work! Fantastic results!
Friday is become my favorite day, because I get to see new modelling magic from uncle Night Shift! :D
I really like how in depth you go with analyzing the reference material for this model and you are really good at explaining the choices you make in the proces. Great build, can't wait to see more :)
It is truly astonishing how you tackle each detail. I love your videos because every decision you make is supported with an at least plausible reason.
Awesome stuff. Can't wait for next week as I love your exhaust effects!
These vids are invaluable to a new builder. thanks Martin
Love all your layers of splattering and speckling. Awesome textures as always
Lookin fancy. Very HDR. I personally base them in a much darker grey closer to the primer actually used on them. My Tiger I link is a pretty uniform dark brown with a large chunk of orange rust between two bits.
Decidedly Friday is the day I'm waiting for the most, and after each video my day is complete.
I will try to apply these techniques tomorrow on my B1-Bis.
Thank you very much for the exceptional quality content you produce.
Sincere greetings from France.
Great content as always! Big fan!
It's amazing to see the tracks come to life and look so realistic when you paint them individually, I learn something every week!😀 Fabulous work Uncle Night shift
Outstanding video and presentation.
Another excellent way to paint and weather tracks, thanks 👍
A beautifully artistic way of dealing with each track link Martin. I can really appreciate that having an art background myself. Great stuff!
Thank you - love your sense of humor and your videos give me lots of ideas!
I like the little touch of removing the one track pin section where the armour has been damaged by a hit. Nice.
Great looking paint job.
Awesome stuff once again. This Tiger’s going to be priceless when finished.
It’s great to see you back.
Tank eye candy. Looks awesome.
You are the master !!! Love your videos. Keep them coming .
Crazy details! Amazing.
I have recently painted a Star Wars Snowspeeder model in cam and have used some of your weathering techniques as best I can.
I have now decided that everything looks tougher in weathered cam😎 So I'm going to do a series of other models like a car, a motorcycle and other non military models to test my theory 😀
Just...spectacular. Can't wait to use this on my Stug.
Wow you did a amazing job Martin 👏 thumbs up always brother keep up the great work 👍
As always, very informative.
I always look forward to your videos!
Just yesterday I made a horrible job doing my spare tracks. You've done a really good job there:) and thanks for previous vids, it made me come back to making models again :)
Thank you Uncle Nightshift!
Outstanding job! Thanks!
Just the video i needed! I am about to do tracks this weekend for my M60 Patton by Dragon.
I needed this episode!
Working on a char B1 bis and using your playlist for reference. It’s a great help
Yeah! I see that.!! Looks good!
Hi, thank you for this great video (other I great too) it just the right (best) timing as I was struggling with painting spare tracks of a panzer 4 (they are so small comparing to others...) Love all your videos. Cheers !
It's very impressive finish. Also it'a so real. I have ever seen it at a construction site.
Such paint work on such "little" pieces makes me crazy! 🤪 Awesome! 👍👍
I know I repeat this, but once again: You have great skills, and even greater skills for explains what You do. All the best for You! Beware of coronavirus! ;)
Very Nice.... Looking foreward to the finished model!😎😁 In maybe three or four fridays?
That "Wilder" joke got me good, haha
Perfect!!! I will apply!
Thanks great video. Got a tiger for Christmas and I've been waiting till I got my airbrush (next week) to start it but I might hold out till the end of the series.
I think the rusty effect after removing towing cable is amazing. I'm not so much convinced with the spare track, but I'll wait till the end.
I'm just finishing the tiger so for me it's a great guide. I admit that I am not trying to do the historical version at all, but I have my own vision and thanks to your guides the model will certainly be more interesting :-)
My Friday is now complete, thank you uncle night shift
😉👌
Do you think you’ll ever build a 1/35 Sherman?
Oh yes definitely!
Night Shift 👍
By the end of 2020m I'll put my one on my channel.
Looking forward to it! As a layman the Sherman is the only tank I know only because of Fury and Metal Slug.
I'm digging the track weathering, but wanted to comment to say, dat zimmerit
looks awesome
Thank you , Uncle Martin .
Awesome job! What would really be cool is to see your tiger and panzermeister 36s tiger in a head to head model contest. Talk about an impossible judgment.👍
Frrrriiiddayyyyyy! Thanks dude!
I was on both Sheridan's and Bradley's and tracks from the factory have a preservative on them that protects from rust. They were all a black color. Every motor pool I was in had worn out tracks on pallets in the back of the motor pool and they were rusted up pretty well
. But out in the wild, you just don't see rust on tracks because of constant movement, not even over night. But, coming back from field operations, and the tanks/ifv in the motor pool do get a rusty patina. But it's really not exaggerated. I would think in WW2, countries would have preservatives on their new tracks too.
That kind of thing was in very short supply for Germany toward the end of the war. If tankers got fuel, oil and ammo they counted themselves fortunate.
Wow lots of progress. You’re really... *making tracks.*
Very good work uncle night shift
I was a Guest of the German army on several trips to Germany in the late 80's and early 90's. We even received 1 brand new track link for a Leopard 2 on it's shipping skid. Being new it had no rust whatsoever, it was a colour we would think of as model paint gun metal or anthracite. On the Leopard and Marders in the field, there was also now rust in these well used and cared for vehicles. Indeed the track horns and area that the wheels rolled on were highly polished which seems to never be shown on models. I do still wonder how those clean track links would fair on the side of a tank!? They must rust eventually no?
Another cool video, gotta try it on m 1:48 tiger soon.
MARTIN!!! YOUR RUST IS BEAUTIFUL!!!
Only you would make a video dedicated to a detail like tracks! They look amazing btw.
Great video bud.
That sic ! I want try some day . Finding paint materiasl are a nightmare to were I'm at .
Your personality is what shines through all the weathering!!!
One problem though, how am I supposed to rememeber another youtube uncle, things are gettin confusing..
The legendary weld bead tool tutorial remains hidden from us
Enjoying following along ! Any chance you will be showing advice on how to paint tank crew ?
Interesting video
Awesome Video! Helped me so much! :D
Would be great to see you build another german classic, maybe a good ol´ Panther?
Another great video Night Shift!! Have you found problems using the enamel weathering products on any of the "rubber band" style track found in many armor kits? Thanks!
6:26 here in western europe they usually have a preservationoil/fat over it from the factory, 1 day in the field its all sanded off by driving and then it will rust
i like weird looking kits i make all my minis looks strange also been trying to use your videos as a guide for painting techniques
I burnished my Tiger tracks, then brushed on some enamel thinner and then added some MIG Rust pigments. Waited for it to dry and dry brushed off the residual pigments.
Really useful video thank you
Please make a dak one :)
Or an interior one
I really appreciated when you just took a model and. Washed it with soap. I. Would have been terrified to do that but cooking covers my models horribly in grease. Add a cool affect when cleaned.
This is very yes
Like last time, it is too perfect for the internet
woww I love the result, are you thinking of adding any figure on the tiger?
Regards ! Stay home Martin !
The usual outstanding job. I am in need of a recommendation for a GOOD, readily available, burnishing fluid. I've been using a home brew and the results, although acceptable; could be better. What brand do you use? Just curious.
AFAIK British/Commonwealth and US tracks were painted black from the factory as a protective layer. It wore off quite quickly in use, but I’d expect it to be visible on spare links. As Germany was short of paint I’d be surprised if they painted them though - maybe some red oxide primer.
Looks amazing! How long do you let the enamel rust wash sit before blending it?
Uncle Night Shift, GREAT job as usual. I think it's important to note that each track link was cast in one, solid piece. Depending on the amount of use/abuse each spare link or length of links might get, the rusting would develop accordingly. Links that have been part of the track run for some time would be worn down and somewhat pitted from use. This wear would act like a "primer" with newer surface rust more likely to form and be brighter, more visible. Conversely, spare links not used in the track run might be a little slower to show rust as the surface would be smoother and more uniform in texture. Either way, when it comes to achieving what you did with your excellent techniques, no one should quibble.
That's the point- that tank received spares from the factor and from other tanks with different histories and thus different amounts of wear and susceptibility to rust. Two links next to each other on the turret could be one brand new, the other went through almost the whole war, the next in line is maybe a year old.
I've been waiting for months for a wild-Wilder pun..... Fuckin finally
Your tank is awwwwwwwwwwwesome but the tracks I dont get it but you are a amazing painter you are very very good. I hope I will wever reach your level if not what ever. Its a hobby to relax. Make more videos becasue one a week is not enough :)
Most tracked vehicles have a protective paint applied upon completion.
Hi Uncle Night Shit.
I just watched this again after two years. It's still an excellent video but you sounded a little more geeky back then. 😁💕
( not that geeky is bad 🙂)
Finally
I was thinking about getting this model because i liked the Dak hull with the late wheels but then i realized it was the model you were building and if i was gonna build it i would have to correct all the mistakes you corrected and brought to light because i wouldn’t be able to live knowing the mistakes that i did not correct and while i could fix them i’m way too lazy right now haha, So i’m gonna get the RFM easy eight or the Meng jagdpanther instead.
Petition to make Night Shift change his title from Uncle Night Shift to Daddy Night Shift
before you put the rust wash on do you need to use the ts-80 varnish?
Last time i was this early the tracks were still shinny
V tomhle díle mě nejvíc pobavila věta "I should called them Wilders (sorry Adam)" :D :D
Huncle Night Shift, have you considered using the Dark Iron tamiya (XF-84) paint for metal? I use it I and I find it pretty good at it. good work as usual! :D
Really cool :)
Tracks will get polished in mud, sand, anything really but will start to rust just as easy... and tracks will even be polished on the inside as well. Probably more so then because now alot of tracks have rubber pads.
Martin - when you add the rust effects to the tracks are you using Light Rust Wash or standard Rust Effects? thanks!
