Night shift: think of this as a beginner figuring things out
Me who's been painting figures for 2 years and not able to get half as good results: 😐
lol
I can recommend F.A.Q Figure painting Techniques. This is an insane and nice book about figure painting
@@steveschmidt4406 oh cheers, I've heard from other people it's pretty good as well... I'll see if I can find it
same man
sadly I can’t even do shadowing or small details because my brushes are too big
😐
Well done, they look fantastic!
Woah, I wasn't expecting to see you here Nigel, lol. Do you paint minis?
Your "Low standards" blows away any figs I've done. Yours are beautiful. And yes, would be very interested in a full video dedicated to Figure painting.
The wash is not cavalry red, it’s the uncle’s heartblood. Because he gave these figures so much love.
The first figure took 4 days?! Whenever I watch your videos I keep having to remind myself it's not all in one sitting!
Hahahaaa, what a dream! The T29 took two weeks to assemble, but doing every video in one sitting would be reeeeally sweet! :)
@@NightShiftScaleModels Hello, fantastic suites of tutorials. You are the one that started my crave for RUclips hobby tutorials, and made me reconnect with my old daddy hobby 🙂 Thank you for that. Now, I have one question here please : Why is the paint bubbling in the airbrush cup at 4:45 ? Thank you very much in advance 🙂
I'm truly impressed with your figure painting especially since you have only painted four figures so far. Well done.
The Abraham Lincoln quote was his most famous words
It's my favorite quote of his, I probably say it at least once a week!
"Four score and many prime coats ago..."
Another one of his lesser known quotes
;)
He was also the first one to comment "Let's gooo" under a random RUclips video
You are a natural artist and yes, I would love to see you do a dedicated to paint figures as you seem to be a natural at it.
Im a bit disappointed that you didn't put weld beads and cast iron texture on this figures pants.
Literally sitting here at work waiting for the video to drop - patience rewarded!
Mr. NightShift, THE BOOTS!!! they came out outstanding. They stand out. Awesome job overall. Kudos to you...
I love how he talks about how subpar he is while casually painting with a level of skill I will never achieve.
It's the video close-ups and 4K resolution that always bursts my bubble lol. IRL I feel like damn, this is actually looking pretty nice! Then I look at the footage and get served a hard reality check lol.
So many great ideas,my figures are more like a department store manequins. I love Friday now because of these videos,and your great tips and sense of humor!
And I thought fridays couldn't get better
Beautiful, man! Your videos are invaluable, and I appreciate you keeping them coming.
Contrast is your friend. I can get behind that!
I always eat lunch a little faster on Friday! I finished the flesh tones on three of my figures, but I can’t wait to try some of these tricks on their uniforms, amazing job! I hope you feel better soon!
Now I am really proud to have been one of persons who pushes you to do figures. They looks very good.
Well Mr, your work is amazing and I mean it. Even these figures are awesome. I enjoy your videos, your chipping methods, always inspiring me and I already learn a lot from 'em. I just started scale modeling so these vids are really something I can use to improve myself and last but not least they are funny and entertaining somehow I feel relaxed while I watching them 😊. So I just wanna thank, and please keep up the good work! 👊
Love all your tutorials, with each one I learn so much more and gain many ideas. You're very personable and bring fun into the hobby. You're very humble and not afraid to criticize yourself in a comical way which , in my opinion, entices many to look forward to your future videos. At least I sure do.
Amazing, as always!
For the “little mistakes” you talk of, if you need to point those out to the viewers for them to see the mistakes, then you shouldn't worry to much about it. Even professional artist make little mistakes all the time, but they just acknowledge that most people will never see them and the rare ones that do probably won't be mad about it. It's part of the art.
It's always a good time watching you build and paint models!
I'm glad you've finally committed to figures they are the only thing missing from your builds and they look so good!
Great video! I love how much life is added to a vehicle model with even just a single figure. Will try some of this on my next tank commander. One option for uniform patches and ranks are decals from companies like Echelon or Alliance Model Works.
The Mr PRIMER surfacer 1000 is the primer made for resin/metal.
It's one of the most powerful primers on the market. Not to be confused with the regular Mr surfacer. It only comes in 1000.
WOW !!! Yep, you nailed it on these figures... You actually have given me confidence enough to attempt this myself... Thank you...
Amazing...figuratively speaking! 😄 You inspire me to add more figures because they really bring a model to life.
i think ALL of them look fantastic! PLEASE keep the vids coming... i'm learning a great deal
Amazing work! Most of people don't put so much attention to painting figures and you show that just spending more time allows to get very neat results even on the first figure! This just require selecting a good technique and patience.
They look great Martin. I'd love to see more on figures. (They're a huge weak point for me) Keep up the amazing work!
Great show, thank you for walking us through your learning experience, I learned a great deal.
Yes yes yes!! A live stream video of painting a figure
The final result for these figures is brilliant, and are far from sub-par as you suggest! Your skills are amazing, no matter the subject you choose.
I am not very successful with figure painting, but you have inspired me to persevere, and I will try some of the methods you share here.
Yes! to a full tutorial on figure painting please Uncle. I am sure I am not the only one who would benefit from your techniques.
Greetings from Australia!
Another fantastic tutorial/video.
I know I’m one of your patreons and I watched this already a week ago.
But I felt I needed to just comment on this video again. Superb job Mah friend👍
Very cool! This is a tutorial! The tips on painting the face is very helpful!
Very good tutorial (or if you prefer, learning video) that covers a lot of excellent painting points and techniques…and the 3 figures turned our remarkably well! Thanks for you time and effort, I really enjoyed your video.
Great! Truly master！ I am so glad to seeing you painted such beautiful figures!Make me feel How wonderful the world is !
I used to paint figures with Tamiya XF paints, but after Night shifts jagdtiger commander done in all vallejo, i need to rebuy all my tamiya colours in vallejo to improve my figures
Yeah I guess Tamiya paints are way better on models than on figures. When painting figures, you gotta go with water based acrylics for better brushing. I got Tamiya paints for ships, some aircraft and tanks and for figures Vallejo model colors and panzer aces are the way to go.
You wont be disappointed with Vallejo Model color paints. They are so easy to work with. Just make sure you attach your figures to something when painting. Like he said in the video Vallejo paints will come off pretty easy if you handle them to much.
Brilliant results, just discovered the channel. Working my way through the videos…..amazing. Thanks for your time and effort in making these. Defo a more detailed figure painting tutorial 😀
Great job and thank you for taking the time to show this kind of work. I learned from it and that is a good thing.
You are one of the world's most talented artists! Yes, please do more figure videos, if my figures looked that good I would extremely proud and pleased.
Really amazing, I love watching the process. Thanks for these videos.
So inspiring! Just got new AK 3rd gen paints for figurines and this is so timely
Great results, Martin! I haaaaaaate doing figures! You make it look easy!
Hi Marti , that wzs a excellent tutorial, well done, I hope you are keeping well during these crazy times, best regards from Australia.
wow, I started figure painting after your first vid (tho I painted some a few years ago) but as always you are easily way better :P so dont be so shy about your figure painting! Looks amazing as always! ;D
Yes please, more figures.
Love your work fella, absolutely outstanding levels of detail.
Nice one , next when u will paint figure try tu glaze shadows ( brush pass ) in direction toward to darkest place ( then u will get a smoother transition)
I had to subscribe because you are really easy to listen to, are hugely talented and have a healthy streak of humour in your videos. I reckon if I can't learn by watching you paint in a smaller scale than I could ever dream of attempting, I never will lol!
That's quite an improvement from your first figure! Well done!
Definitely love the figure painting. Amazing job!!!
Cracking video this week.. I really need to have a go at figures again! My last one looked terrible and put me off trying! Nothing ventured nothing gained so I think I'll try follow your way next - cheers
Genius and patience. Congratulations
Thank you, Uncle Night Shift! Because of these figure vids u made, I made one mine. My first choco chip fig for M1A1.
The result is outstanding- again! Keep up the great work 😀
I’m having real trouble on skin. Just can’t get it right. You’re a real pro Martin. Love your channel!!!
Great video!!! Like always. Very helpful and inspiring. I have a few miniatures an I was afraid of painting them. Now I will try it. Thanks!!!!
I feel like Uncle Nightshift could make anything look easy.
Hi modkits
A couple of years ago I became interested in figure painting. Seems I liked the experience.
It really is a system all it's own, using skills from several other styles.
Your "first attempts" are fantastic. You were able to use your strengths with the airbrush to your advantage. I look foreword to your possible dedicated vid on figures.
Your first figure was great, but these three guys are next level much more sharp and crisp! well done my friend
I would definitely say you are far better than a beginner. Looks great and thanks for the video
Absolutely amazing work. Thank you for this video.
They look incredible! Just like the pros in the hobby! Very well done!
Amazing skills as always, would really appreciate more tutorials and a live stream sounds fantastic
I have been watching for quite some time, you have given me inspiration, and are quite talented! I recommend watching Miniac, here on the tube, although he paints fantasy for the most part the principals are still the same he offers tons of techniques. You amaze me stepping out of your "zone" often. Thank you for all you do!
The tank looks awesome! The figures look awesome! Can't wait until next week to see the diorama! It's going to be awesome! :)
Three awesomes in one comment... That's not awesome. lol
This guy is actually hilarious. Love the videos! Subscribed
My local hobby shop finally got tamiya putty and tamiya two part epoxy putty in stock after weeks of me waiting for it to arrvive! So now I'm going to try and do some real scale modeling
Really good job! I used to do many figures in different scales, so I know what I'm talking about. Please, do some more!
I love the idea of a live stream. I do like the way you paint figures with the airbrush and I want to definitely try it also. I unusually do my figures faces with oils but I really like your method and the outcome. All the best uncle.
WOW! amazing job for the 2nd 3rd and 4th try! excellent!
Yeah, you should do more detailed figure painting! it's definitely a mysterious boundary for me to learn, your video makes me got some passion for it, well done.
Great work yet again! Hope you feel better soon.
Absolutely amazing! I can only hope to reach this LVL.
Dear Martin, Brilliant work!
Just as a collector of these things, and a fellow modeller: the jacket color of the waving infantryman is way outside the range of the OD7 green introduced with that uniform. Even faded it won't hit those tones. But it's a great example of the many shade variations the earlier uniforms in OD2 could come out of the manufacturers and/or fade to.
Stellar work as always though, I know figs aren't easy. Dad made me cut my teeth on them early so I wouldn't have reservations about doing them later after nothing but AFV's, light vehicles, and planes.
Here are some awesome links to items about US Uniforms (and equipment) by one of the vendors we get reproductions from (working from his extensive originals collection). He also worked around 2015 with research done by members of the 100th Infantry Division Reenactment group on the US East Coast who, through their research (at the US Quartermaster's Corps Museum, and other archives) got access to spec documents and original preserved swatches that completely turned the arguments of what color the M1941 Field Jacket was on it's head as we learned they were what was termed "Olive Drab #2" (OD2) rather than the previously thought "khaki" or other OD shades (there truly were 50 Shades of Olive Drab between vehicle paints, equipment paints, and uniform/equipment dyes), of course between variation in manufacturer's processes and fading and staining from use the colors will shift considerably (and you'll see many examples items in a entire palette of shades of the "same color"). Things for your research collection!
Part of the research findings into the M1941 Field Jacket's true specified color are given here:
www.90thidpg.us/Equipment/Reviews/ATFM412015/index.html
His argument way back when against "everything US was khaki," except the US Army did use a khaki color, which is what we think of when someone says "khaki."
www.atthefront.com/category-s/471.htm
HBT Uniforms (like the coveralls the tank crewman is wearing), nominally the greener OD7, but also a huge shade variation.
blog.atthefront.com/wwii-army-hbt-uniforms/
The 1943 Field Jacket (like the infantryman is wearing)
blog.atthefront.com/the-field-jacket/
US Rank Insignia (first is an example of 1930's brown wool felt cutouts stitched onto black/navy wool felt backings, these were rarely worn, what follows is a photo of the later version which included embroidered insignia on wool felt, embroidered insignia on rayon twill, and rayon embroidered insignia on rayon twill which is the lightest of the group in color, also includes the pre-1942 First Sergeant insignia before the rank was moved up a grade on the pay scale)

Happy painting! Can't wait to see more!
Turned out great, figures it's Uncle after all.
Color me impressed, and don't you brush off this praise!
Tanks for another great video.
All puns intended!
Úplne že fantastická práca!!!!!! NAVŽDY CHVÁLIM :)
They look so life like! Well done!
Woaouwww !!! Wonderful job as always. As we say in France : Bravo !
That was quite helpful, especially the skin/face portions.
one word: FANTASTIC!!! i 've got about 300 figures to paint and i like you to paint them :)
Looks great! For the diarama, I suggest placing something into Joe’s hand - a rolled map, a flat satchel, etc. the wave being the point of focus feels a bit bland. Awesome paintwork, loved it 👍
Fabulous work, as a always. You are far too humble.
A technical note: The infantryman's rank insignia (if he's a technical sergeant, now known as a sergeant first class) should be three chevrons and two rockers, if a staff sergeant, three chevrons and one rocker. There is no device of any kind in the space between the bottom chevron and the top rocker. The patch on the figure appears to have something in that space that should be blank and it makes it look like there are four chevrons. (It also makes it look like there are two rockers, but one or two rockers are OK).
Also, you've indicated you're not through with them, but they will need dirt, grease stains, water stains, and other marks on their clothing and also dirt on their hands and faces. Soldiers get into a remarkable number of substances that make them dirty in nearly uncountable ways. (Ask me how I know.)
But I must repeat: fabulous work. You are a genius. With more experience I will be surprised that your figures aren't walking around and chatting with each other.
Fantastic Work. Your videos are always an in inspiration for me. Best regards from Germany.
Uncle Night Shift: I am not good at miniature painting!
Everyone in the comments: You are great at miniature painting!
Nice job with them, they look really nice and I was about to try that first black then white on highlighted parts before applying thin basecoat, but I think I will go for this approach presented by you. Would really like to see you make some WH40K miniatures, for example new Heavy Intercessors or Aggressors (or go old school with some Terminators), which are basically little walking tanks, and I think their armor can't really chip and rust, but who cares? A more military approach would be interesting to see with all those effects (although I am in love with my reddish brown painted Blood Ravens).
Those figures look great. I'll be trying out that airbrushing technique on my next ones👍
Using a airbrush to paint minis WOW GREAT JOB. You do good work, first time or second time. Your a natural
Awesome, phenomenal work my friend....keep them figures coming, just wait until you try those SS camouflage uniforms! 👍🏻👌🏻👏🏻🥇🏆🤜🏻🤛🏻
Just beginning figures here. Very Informative and Cool. Thanx Again...
Amazing! Very nice uncle :) big up for the airbrush inspiration technique :) cheers!
I love it also yes more video on figures painting
Superb work & talent! It seems to me that figure painting & shading is a process that can progress into near infinite vagueness. I know daylight intensity & angle can produce many different color tones & shades on clothing & equipment, so there's probably no such thing as "exactly correct", rather, only what "appears correct" for figure & equipment color tones & shades. Your tutorial was very helpful & informative, as with all of your tutorials! Cheers
Amazing work thanks for sharing. Will certainly give a try . If i can get half as good as yours then ill be happy. Thanks again and looking forward to your next figure painting video 😊
One last detail you could add to GI Joe... silver chipping along the brim of the helmet. Not much, but a little. US M1 type helmets had a stainless steel rim pressed on and it was prone to chipping.
Great figs "mah friend!"
Please yes more figure painting! Your video's great amd easier to follow than other's and no joke I think thses are some of the best I've seen! That tanker you wanted to redo the jacket I think is the best one too! Just something about it I think that one! I've bought a good few from scale 75 war front resin figures! I've got a cool rommel he was hard to get! There like old power rangers trying to get a certain one lol so when rommel came in I snapped up 2!
Well done! My only recommendation would've been to swap the colors of the jackets. The GI is wearing what's called a M43 jacket which was a very dark green, and the color you ended up choosing would've been the perfect color for the two m41 field jackets on the tankers.
Thought the same. The colors varied of course but knowing what was worn at different times of the war really helps. That with knowing the colors of actual items. Collectors have a bit of an advantage there.
Mah uncle. YES!!! Give us a full, real time video of figure painting pretty please. Even if it will last an hour or two. Doesn't matter. Regards from your northern neighbours.
thanks for taking time to do the tutorial.. really appreciate it and i learn alot too
They look fantastic. I hope you do some weathering on Joe's uniform as well as the boots. I see many dioramas where this is not done and it always looks off. With as fond as you are of oils, I would love to see you do some figures using oil paints at some point. Keep up the great work!
Excellent work, sir! A couple of observations from someone who knows nothing about painting figures, but who is fairly well versed in weaponry and field gear. The M1 Garand rifle which your GI is carrying, believe it or not, generally had a bit of shine on the wood stock. It is not the flat, oiled wood you'd see for instance on a German Mauser. Also, the metal parts, including the barrel, gas tube, receiver and butt-plate, are almost always worn to virtually bare metal (with subtle darkening on details) rather than the factory blackening or bluing. On the clothing, I'd consider adding some subtle highlighting to suggest wear areas at the knees, upper thighs and elbows too (take a look at your own jeans and you'll get the idea).
As always, your work continues to amaze me, and thanks so much for sharing.
Steve
