I didn’t even realise it was Friday till this posted
yeah it snuck up on me too.
I need reminders for every Thursday so I won't forget to upload 😁

Today is friday in California
Oh thank you, Uncle Nightshift. Terrible day at the office, needed some fun artistry to feel better.
Yep bad days i got suspended from school but this fixed it
Restoring old models is nice to me, because I did it for my reentreance into modeling after some years. So I could test techniques which were new to me and improve the models my parents spend so much money on when I was a child :)
Looking sharp; literally!
Nice job Martin. I prefer to repaint instead of starting fresh. New ideas, new look, change of what I want the look to be.
Every Friday night I look forward to watching the videos to see an artist in these works,thank you Mrs.Night Shift.
Dark Brown Wash for Green Vehicles has become my go to universal wash, works great for most traditional armour colours :) Thanks for sharing, I learn so much from your videos. Just did a Maschinen Krieger kit using some of all this knowledge you have provided over the years as inspiration :D
Got pics/video of it?
@@ScottKenny1978 Of course, easiest way to find them is on IG @minis.by.kasper :)
Always this moment in the week I'm waiting for!
Very realistic. Technique variety guarantees a good result because you'll usually be able to find something that will work for a given model.
I have learned more from these 2 videos than all the videos i watched in the last 9 months from a dozen other modelers.
Great restoration ! Hope you and your loved ones have a great/safe weekend ! Take care, Tony
I don't build armor but after watching these newer vids I am going to give them a go. I love your videos and your sense of humor. Thank you!
New camera works awesome 👌
this is looking alot nicer
You, sir, are an Artist. I'm not a scale modeller, but I love watching your content. I built various scale models when I was a kid, none of which survived. As I watch your channel I imagine how I would restore, for example, my Klingon Original Series warship, my Romulan bird-of-prey, my original series Galactica, a 1:48 Sherman tank, etc. Best wishes from Canada!
It was very hard for me to bring myself to use blue on a figure,but it worked out great for "5 o'clock shadow",now I will try it on some spare tracks,Thank you!
You are an inspiration. I learn so much from you and panzermeister
The new camera is a noticeable difference, looks much sharper to me
ye
Yeah, it's day and night, but it's also more comfortable to use!
@Quim Eater I want you to delete your comment
@Quim Eater wtf
@@NightShiftScaleModels What’s the camera?
Outstand job on the repaint. The tank looks great just as it is
Excellent! Fantastic techniques and very entertaining too
ooooooooh crisp 4k
very nice for seeing all the detail
I've used Alclad Steel for highlighting welds, applied by brush. Worked great and looked like the real thing.
A awseom model love it
And the chipping looks fantastic
Another excellent build. The weathering made this Pz.II look mint.
Time is my enemy. So I'd build a new tank.
Looking good 👍 iv been stripping and repainting my old builds that are not built as well as newer ones, good practice for new techniques and don't matter too much if it goes wrong
Great techniques. I especially liked the work on the exhaust. The 4K video looks spectacular!
Another GREAT video!! The techniques were amazing................... 😊😊😊😊
Night shift rules. I didn't even knew he did seminars I came across someone filming him doing a seminar. On weathering with photos on a screen with circled different real time effects. Pretty awesome. One of my favorite subs. I would love to see him do a e-50 with all his apocalyptic skills! You rock night shift!
That was a live demo during Mosonshow 2018 or 2017 (don't remember the year lol). Everyone was doing a workshop where they demonstrated some modelling technique. I was too lazy to pack my modelling gear so instead I made a Keynote presentation 😂
Martin the new camera views looks awesome! And yes this video has inspired me to rework some of my old models, please keep doing this type of videos, they are great!
Great looking Pz.II, making me want to build one. I was out of model building for about 40 years and got back into it about two years now. The first kit I built was the Tamiya Panther Ausf A. I have gone back and updated builds as my skill level has improved. The Tamiya Panther will be left as is. That was my first after coming back and I want to keep it as the benchmark of how my skills have improved. I've had friends and co workers tell me they can see how I have improved. I cant tell. I just run on how I feel. I tweak, poke, and prod til I get to "That looks right" and I feel good about the build.
Martin always makes Fridays just a little bit better! 👍
Great episode. Every Friday afternoon I sit down with a beer and watch your show. It's relaxing and inspiring and a nice way to ease into the weekend. Well done and thanks. See you next week.
restoring old models can be fun! I did it with old Tamiya kits, Stug IV and Schwimmwagen recently. Huge difference :)
Your new camera is great. The clarity of your video image is stunning!
That's a awesome restored model
That's a fantastic looking tank. You do some great work.
I have saved a few models from my youth and refurbished them. It's very satisfying and often less work than I originally thought it was going to be.
*That's a lovely panzergrey Pz II, the restoration is complete and mastered!*
Hans, get ze popcorn!
Superb as always Uncle - I only wish mine came out as good as your early attempts!
The best part of Friday.
I have refinished a few old models mostly as practice for new techniques. As a rule I’m against fixing old models.. this lets me compare old and new. I get to see how much or if I have improved . Mostly I have improved and I can prove it. Love your work.
I've got a Tiger I that I built many years ago, based off a photo of a Das Reich Tiger at Kursk that had been hammered by Soviet AT and artillery/ mines and survived. Made it with interior and everything. It took me forever to do and I was pretty proud of it. Buuut...I was never 100% about the colours! The light overspray of dunkelgelb my references told me the real thing had looked green, which I'd thought at the time was "natural", but soon started to feel uneasy about. I couldn't bear the thought of wrecking my magnum opus trying to strip it or painting over it so I just left it. Your last video introduced me to clean slate, which I'd never heard of and now I've bought some and tried it out, I think I'm finally going to do it and finish this damned S02 Tiger once and for all, with all the amazing weathering techniques I've learned from you, Michael Rinaldi and others.
Vallejo seems to recommend 3 different versions of Dunkelgelb. 882 Middlestone, 978 Dark Yellow, or 914 Green Ochre.
@@ScottKenny1978 The problem was I'd base coated in the standard panzergrau and then thinned tamiya dunkelgelb pretty heavily, but I should have just done a light spray over it in my usual dunkelgelb mix. The real Tiger also has broad bands of a darker shade, which I have to decide is either green sprayed over the dunkelgelb or unpainted panzergrau...a question for another time
@@shiva369 my gaming references all show narrow green bands for Kursk camo.
If you're on FB, look up Piers Brand. He does lots and lots of 1/72 models, and has probably made Tiger S02 for Kursk.
I like that you updated this model
I would like to see more restoration type videos going forward. See you breathe new life into older projects.
The restoration is a great work!!!
Another great video!! You are definitely a master builder/painter.
Excellent work again! Your modelling videos are very inspiring. Keep it up dude!
"Blue?"
"Hey....It's a kind of magic......"
I saw that trick in Adam Wilder's article some 15 years ago but took me a very long time to find the courage and try it out 😁
Awesome details, I just appreciate how you make some boring surface interesting
Wow! Very good video and very good result!! Have a nice day!
Very cool :D I don't really like restoring old models, because they are sort of memory for me and they are also showing my progress through the "history"
already so beautiful
Nice upgrade. The new moving picture capture device does make very fine video.
About redoing an old kit, I never did it. I like to see how I evolved from childhood and have not much of them, so I am fond of them.
I have never painted an old model, its like a bit of history in my collection 😁
I have very old models which I won't touch 😁 A) it's history like you mentioned and B) they're so bad it's literally pointless trying to improve them
Ah, this is a great way to spend Friday evening :D
You know it's gonna' be a good day the minute you hear: 'Mah frens' 😌
Also, I like how VMS makes a detailed guide about their rusty tracks liquid while you go
Haha dip the tracks go brrrrrr
Splonk
lots of considerations go into a "restoration" i just restored a shelf queen dragon sdkfz-3. in canada this kit costs over 100.00 so the fact that it was only the initial paint job i did on it that i didnt like so it made sense to repaint it. products like VMS clean slate also make that decision even more easier to make. i dont think any kit should ever just get thrown out. even if it just becomes a practice test piece, its better than it going in the trash and then you get to practice on something that wont break your heart if it goes wrong. your videos are a great inspiration and i cant wait for next friday.
Wow! The new motion picture device is nice!
Looking good already!
I got panzer 2 today and a weathering AK set I always use a package foam there more porous and random and I have a few old fish tank filters from my aquarium never throw them away there absolutely perfect for chipping! I just picked up that AK transporator to try it out and waw very impressed that stuff is perfect! Keeps it's full colour but you can still see the previous base through it if you have a shadow coat and blending it like a gradient effect dark in creases to light so easy to do I done it first go! This stuff is just amazing I'll need a few bigger bottles now definitely going to use that alot and will be awesome for figures
Love to see you do a BTR sometime, but then again, you probably have much bigger plans. Keep up the great work :)
Uncle Night Shift, you persuaded me to get a 1/35 panzer 2 from tamiya with this video, I'm getting it with connection with a AT Gun, a SU-85, and accessories, I love the vids man, good job!
Wow loving this new super HD footage! Very nice 😁
Awesome, I love panzer grey models👍
Always amazing how you are able to change the way you paint your models... thanks to you I know 4/5 ways to paint exhaust... i really enjoy as well your models choices... Do you plan to realize a UN vehicle ? The « white camo » could be a really good challenge. Thank you for your weekly show and to share your technics and knowledges...
Cheers !
Seconded!
I'd love to see something like a KFOR Centauro.
It looks so great. Definitely using this method.
excellent video quality. nice!
I like keeping my old models to see how far they've progressed
i keep my old models the way i made them before. It interesting to see how much my technique changes over time
Another excellent video. I'm not even into early war armour but so many hints and tips here which I will be using on my current build. I really like the idea of painting the spar track links in different shades like blue before adding the rust wash. The new video set up is really good. HD modeling-Its the future
Oh yeah, it’s Friday! I really liked the original paint scheme, but I think this is better. Great job!
Awesome and new camera is great!
Beautiful work as always. I was wondering about that blue on the spare tracks, but it really made an intersting subtle difference.. nice..
To answer you’re ending question. I don’t restore old models often, but if I do, it mostly depends on how much the kit will cost and how available it is. I have a mecha resin kit that I built years ago that i’ll probably strip and re-do for example. The new kit would be around $300-ish.. so.. yeah. Something easy to get and more reasonably priced, like a current production Tamiya tank or something, i’d probably just start a new one.
It’s looking good this guy is talented
Gah! You spoil us again! So much in one vid! Love it!
Restoring an old kit is a new challenge.
Congrats on the new camera. Looks good. The tank too.
The new camera makes the video very crisp and it looks awesome
Outstanding job!!
Your work is amazing!!
Great show
I wouldn't worry too much about rubber being lighter than panzer grey, because judging from period photos that's they way it was actually! And I mean on brand new vehicles without any dust on the wheels. My favourite colour for wheels is Rubber Tires by AK and it's slightly lighter than panzer grey.
It's looking good
So far
Awesome work!
Waiting the whole day only for this video... Finally!!!
night shift, an episode like a regular bombist, you did a great job of splinters. I was thinking if you could make a series of building some simple model for "beginners", I mean more for you to make a guide on how to easily make a model with a similar effect to high-level models.
Thank you , Uncle Martin .
Just love new camera 👍
I often Restore Modells I Just cant throw a Model away
Best modelling videos in the tube
Video is gorgeous! Almost as nice as the model! 👍
Really good,your videos aswell as being very good and informative are also very entertaining,you are a funny fellow and a treat to watch...not bad modeller either.lol...well actually excellent at modelling...thanks for the enjoyment and the highly inspirational episodes....ive started to do weld seams with putty now as you do...its great thanks,ive started to approach kits now with a differnt slant and looking at the kit better than before. what can be done if you experiment.
Ive got a panther Ausf A, Pzkw IV ausf d and a t34 /85 in the works and they will now look better thanks to some of your tips..
If a kit is salvagable and not damaged by removing old paint etc...why not...its more and more expensive now for kits...
It looks very, how do say....weathered!!
stunning!
Looks great
love it!
also rly beautiful panzer!
nice transformation.
