How To Paint Dust and Mud WITHOUT PIGMENTS - Soviet Ball Tank "Sharotank" (Miniart 1/35)

- Опубликовано: 21 мар 2019
- Pigments are often hard to control when it comes to dust, mud and everything in between. Adding more effects on top of them is an absolute nightmare. Therefore I believe it's much more convenient to use other mediums. In this video I'll show you how to replicate earth effects with acrylic paste and enamel products. But make sure to keep your room ventilated! (I didn't and I paid the price lol)

What's up my mates, are you fans of pigments or do you like to use other mediums? I'm personally avoiding pigments like the plague lol.
Also I finally made an instagram account!!! instagram.com/nightshiftscalemodeller/
Yes, I like pigments and all the other newish enamel and acrylic weathering mediums that are out there or coming out. So much new stuff has hit the market these last couple of years. So we need you to show us how to use it all since Mig is so busy shaking hands these days!
Not sure if I'm the right person to demonstrate how to work with pigments lol, I'm bad with them! I used them extensively a few years back when I was heavily influenced by Mike Rinaldi and I was happy with the results until I brought my models to a model show, where, under natural light, they looked awful! Bland, everything disappeared under a layer of pigment dust! So I stopped using them altogether and my favourite way of doing dust is Tamiya acrylics. I already have a video ready on that! I use them pigments from time to time, in like 1 model out of 5, but in extremely small amounts to tweak enamel or acrylic dust effects. Don't want to ruin my models anymore :D But that's just me, just because they don't work for me doesn't mean they shouldn't work for someone else!
DUDE! Awesome weathering, pigmenting, mudding and battlebubbling!
Haha thanks mate, I sure enjoy weathering and every other -ing out there!
I use them for mud effects and that's is it .
I have watched hundreds of hours of modeling videos and you by far have the best commentary and production value I have seen.
This channel needs to be BIGGER.
This is by far the best YT series about weathering a 1:35 model. Outstanding skills. Bravo.
I normally model military aircraft so this one is totally new to me. I ordered it from Amazon and it will be here in a week or so. I have intently watched your videos on this "weirdo" build and picked up many techniques that I will now employ with my aircraft. I know I will never achieve the level of expertise that you demonstrate. Your quality of work is equal to Hollywood's best known model makers. Although I know I would never be able to accomplish what you have done, nor would I have the patience to try, I enjoyed every moment watching a "Master Modelmaker" utilizing his hands to produce such a marvelous piece of art. Congratulations on a wonderful project.
I am not completely sure but you may have turned weathering into a rocket science! Good thing I can watch over and over again, but the jokes that were funny at first only make me smile the fourth time I hear them! Im sitting on my front porch and the weather is fine, so I can watch over and over without stressing me out!!!
Your Videos are amazing love how you make them you are helping the hobby grow. Thumbs up to you. Keep up the hard work.
Thanks a lot Bradley, that's encouraging to hear!
You have become my favorite model builder!
That's actually modelling. The usual part where I get enough and leave project sitting a half year or I rush it. With that cammo pattern and mud looks like a big watermelon. Nice work there.
Martin, good job with this kit!!!
Thanks Lukas!!
The mud looks so realistic!
Great build and vids ! Looking forward to a tank build !
Thanks mate! The next series will definitely be a regular tank :)
Just wow. Amazing videos!
Thank you!
Bloody stunning results man! Your work is some of the best modelling I've seen here on RUclips. The weathering you did on this nutty little tank is epic IMO. Your editing and video clarity are superb as well. Looking forward to a lot more of your content. Cheers, Scott
Thanks so much Scott! My next series will be a bit more fast-paced, we'll see if that's gonna be a good thing or not!
Well if it's anything like this series it'll be awesome.
🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌 awesome seeing you working. You make it so easy :)
Yea boi!!!
So god damn good quality on these videos
11:41 I like how this music reminds me of Queen's "Another one bites the dust" in a Video about dust and mud ^^
Top, nice work.
Thanks!
Nice!!!
It's nice seeing your take on mud! I tend to mix my own mud effects but the wilder mud looks pretty bloody good!
It is John. Acrylic mud is like a dream come true for me. And those Wilder things have a very nice texture as well.
is it just the transparency and drying time that you like Martin?
Drying time is definitely a benefit. They are also very easy to blend into smooth transitions if you are fast enough. I actually used the paste without any additional effects on top of it on my next model to see the result. And I really love the texture. Vallejo or Tamiya have their own textured paste, but that one seems to have somewhat unnatural "grainy" look from what I've seen in some photos. I didn't try the new AK or Ammo ones but they might be good, as they were developed by weathering brands.
Obrigado pela partilha! ;)
You have a magazine worth build! And it is free too! Your videos will be my guidance for weathering. Followed by the weathering magazine, ak, military illustrated, etc. Your videos are the greatest
Thanks a lot!
Wow, excellent, it's all coming together now.
Lots of good advice for World War One armour modellers here too. Especially the 'art & science' of mud! I see a lot of WWI tanks that look okay, but the application of the mud effects look wrong because the modeller hasn't paid attention, or thought correctly about, how the mud would fall in the motion of the tank.
In the future, I'd like to see you do something like a Takom Whippet tank and apply all your 'mud theory' to it, that would be fascinating to watch!
Oh yes this definitely applies to WW1 tanks as well! I've built several WW1 tanks in the past, namely a Mark IV from Tamiya, Whippet from Takom and St. Chamond from the same brand. I've already posted a photo of my Mark IV on my instagram so you can check it out. I will post lots of my older builds there. And I'm planning on building an A7V on this channel, but I've been looking on one of those Mark I tanks from Takom too.
wow excellent !
Thanks mate!
Hi Bud, what you need is a fan going when you paint with Enamels. Cheers for the video :-)
Thanks for sharing! Here a new sub!
Thank you!!! Hope you'll enjoy your stay!
Gday mate
having worked with off road tires a little bit , I'm thinking you put that tire on the wrong way.
your work is wonderful
I only mention it to help out for future builds.
Okay.... Pro, no doubt about that.
Awesome! Did you protect with clear between the process? How can brush oil wash resist to following thinners hands? Thx @nightshift
See you Dude in the next one TFS, G :)
Výborně!.... Měl bych jednu otázečku jsem z Česka a zajímalo by mě kde se dají sehnat připravky od pana Wildera. Nebo jestli se dají sehnat pouze z jeho stránek?
I'm having a heck of a time trying to find some of the Wilder products you use. Do you have a suggested website that can supply these products?
Watched this video 4 times.
Its look interesting 😂
Looks great good buddy!!! Kutgw
How do you paint a model using a combination enamel and acrylics? Ive tried but my logic proved to be disastrous. What do you fix the acrylic with that makes it durable and it not be affected by enamels painted over the acrylic?
Sometimes I think the final rotation shot is just a little too bright. It may show details, but the character of the piece is harder to see when it is so perfectly and brightly lit. I just did a screen grab at 13:24 and then opened it in preview to darken it a bit to test this. It works. The rest of the video before the end shots is fine.
Excellent Job! One question....why not seal your model with a matte clear before weathering? That would seal in the chipping fluid you used earlier and you wouldn`t have to worry about anything while weathering.
Thanks! I'm not a big fan of sealing stuff in order to protect it, so I always look for different techniques or mediums which won't harm the paint. I normally just varnish the camouflage with clear gloss and that's it. Plus didn't find a matt varnish that would be really ultra-matt and completely block off any water at the same time.
@@NightShiftScaleModels , try Testor`s Dull Coat, I use it on my armor builds and get a dead flat finish. I`d be scared to weather over a nice paint job without sealing, I don`t have your skills, or nerve for that matter...lol. Keep up the build videos, I`m picking up new things to try from you!
Wow it's nice !!! You are work is Art !!!
I want you ask about in video
In 1:44 what used product ?!
Thanks so much mate! It's acrylic Textured Earth from Wilder, same bottle as shown at 0:55
Night Shift thank you martin !!👍👍
Have a good day !
No problem, always here to help! ;)
Waterproft or not?
If I screwed up a paint job on a model or I broke one of the pieces I’d be sort of screwed because I spend like my entire savings every time I get a new model.

How would someone enter/exit this tank???
There's a large hatch on each side
@@NightShiftScaleModels I thought that might be the case thanks for sharing this...

Unfortunately, it seems like the dirt and dust mostly obscures the wonderful rust effects.
It's all about balance :)
"Don't overdo it." I hear that all the time from modellers, but the thing is, armored vehicles attract dirt like they are small children - in the series about the US marine tankers training (around here on youtube somewhere) their tanks get splashed with mud up over the turret, and that's a) real life, b) therefore realistic, and c) fucking overdone. And that's only one example - look how the German vehicles looked in the Russian mud - they were caked in dirt to a point where you couldn't even see the tracks. Or for exhaust? I saw a picture of an A10 Warthog with a ebtirely dirty black belly from firing it's main cannon. Also a) real life, b) realistic and c) fucking overdone.
So if you want to go wild, do so.
Of course mate. Everything I say on this channel is just my advice based on my taste/style/experience. I'd never state that what I say is set in stone.
However regarding the extreme weathering you mentioned. It CAN look good, but it's also quite tricky to pull it off. Yes, you could literally just spray an entire model with dusty colour and present it as muddy tank covered in dried mud/dirty water, but it would look kinda boring and monotonous. I believe it's best to find balance between every layer of weathering to create a model that's interesting to look at. Again, my opinion.
Night Shift Absolutely - it can look monotonous and boring. But again: if you look at the real thing, do they look boring? That’s of course entirely up to you, but if you do think the real deal looks boring, then why shouldn’t the model look boring?
I think this comes down to essentially two schools of modelling: one where you want to show off your skills as a modeller, and therefore add a thousand little details that pretty much only other modellers can see and appreciate - which brings down the weathering to an absolute minimum in order to show all those details. I think most modellers are here, but that’s of course just a guess (in part based on the ”don’t overdo it” mantra I hear so often).
The other school is realism. You have zero problem with caking tank treads with mud when depicting a poor Panzer II on the eastern front in the autumn of 1941, smearing soot all over the belly of a Warthog or making a desert tank so dusty it disappears into the base.
So I think it’s a matter of, what do you want from the hobby? Achiement and praise or realism?
