Weathering Metal Tiger Tracks Is So Easy!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 5 июл 2024
- Workable metal tracks from Friulmodel are always fun to paint and weather (except when they aren't). Even if their assembly takes a while, we're rewarded with very strong, unbreakable working tracks with realistic sag, and most importantly, they're just so easy to paint, especially when it comes to heavier layers of mud.

Next week will be the final episode of the Tiger series!
Who's stoked for the next (ahem, modern) tank???
I cannot Wait!
cant wait and cant wait to see what else you work on always amazing
Cursed Abrams with rough armor texture
Modern? Heck yeah I'm stoked! I hope its Soviet!
@@lukeholsten1436 i think the days of calling a soviet tank modern is running out :P 29 years man...
"What did you do grandpa Aaron during the pandemic?" Me "I waited every week for uncle nightshift to build this awesome tiger tank."
"what did you do, grandpa Ty, in the great pandemic?", Me "I carried on working and didn't worry about anything because I saw through the big con, and watched Nightshift build an awesome Tiger tank".
There is just something so extremly satisfying about movable metal tracks.
12:50 And what do you mean they do not look like much on theis own?!? They look amazing!!!
Ahh yes weathering and painting tracks, just what I needed!
It's perfect, the tracks look many times bigger than they are and the mud doesn't look like syrup or chocolate :D
You have the best modelling channel because you know cool stuff and make it entertaining
you make my fridays less crappier
and now I know how to work with metal tracks c:
Hi. I would just like to say two things.
First, your models are amazing and your videos are brilliant, so thank you for making both.
Second, you are the only non Japanese RUclips model maker I have heard who says Tamiya's name correctly! All the others say either "tam EYE uh" or "tam EE ya", both of which are flat wrong, so thank you for that too!
Keep up the good work Mr. Kovac!

always happy to watch night shift vids…ALWAYS
Always
man that's REALLY impressive!
Realism and artistic liberties are perfectly balanced, I love the details and the atmosphere of the whole thing.
I have a "wonderfuller" weekend planned, thank you Uncle for the inspirational and valuable lesson(s)!!
Great videos. Your sense of humor is excellent!
Just apt, I’m doing some Jagdpanzer IV friuls now! Thanks for the timely lesson on burnishing!
Best 15 minuts of my day... 15 aproximatly😁 fantastic vídeo... But thats a standard with you! Cheers!
Oooh 🙀 alex modeling i watch your vids their realy good
Looks amazing Martin. I can't wait for the final reveal. The tracks came out perfect.
Once again a most impressive attention to detail...and a fantastic technique!
Best modeling chanel on youtube!! Greatings!
your videos are the best part of my week so far :) Thank you for keep them rolling
I am speechless !!! this is too good! super great!!
Your content is so valuable to the community mate 👍
Have a great weekend Martin and thanks for the tutorial, it was great.
I like that VMS burnishing fluid and the grit powder you used to get the texture for the mud. Good stuff as usual Martin!
The pigment texture is a serious game changer and I'll be using it a LOT in the future!
I've just followed most of this on to my new Tamiya a34 Comets track's! They look frickin amazing!
Dude, those tracks look REAL!
Awesome work my friend keep it up the good work 👍
Nice blackening product! Well thought out and presented with the modeller in mind.
Awesome work my friend keep it
Another brilliant job, Martin!
Great job ! It is the better Tiger than i never see. In french: BRAVO.
That sneak peek pic at the end had me like ..... Oh I can't wait to see this Tiger 1 in all it's glory! Nice work Uncle Night Shift!
MARTIN!!! As always, beautiful. simply beautiful. That is all.
Amazing channel broham, not a tank modeler (don't judge me) but i'll use your techniques on my planes to give them that little something they miss. Thank you for being so informative in explaining. 🤘
That's something that drives me nuts...when a modeler uses literally one color of dirt for not only the tracks, but the lower hull and wheels too. Just looking at pictures of real vehicles shows how many layers there are to dirt. I'm happy you are showing this way of doing tracks, I wish people will take this info and...USE IT!!!! Lol
Yeah, but then again tracks in real life are also quite boring. When it's wet, they're just covered in dark glossy mud. When it's dry, they're either rusty or dusty. These "ideal conditions" where you have dry, damp and wet textures are very rare :)
@@NightShiftScaleModels yes, but I'm talking about there is more than "brown" dirt. Lol. As someone who crewed armored vehicles, especially in Germany, it's amazing how many colors you can get and where. Light tannish grey in graf, darker in hoenfels, where I was we had an area called Area Mike. It's nickname was Area Mudd. Lol...sink holes, and there was literally something wrong with the ground. It was always a baby poop brown. After my division left, they made it a wildlife sanctuary because the ground couldn't handle buildings. You know when you destroy ground so much, it remains soupy. Hahahahaha. I was trying to say, you add depth, when so many just plop brown or buff on a model and call it a day.
Nightshift: its easy
me: *still has extra tank track parts and there arent supposed to be any extras* Ehh how did i manage to do that...
There are always a few spares in every set :)
Night Shift not in revell kits,(usually) I Somehow managed to Mess it up and it looks ok
@@ryzenenjoyer2824 maybe it was messed up in the first place and, by messing it up even more, you actually made it OK? :D
@@ryzenenjoyer2824 Oh Revell! Still better than having the track too short eh?
@@NightShiftScaleModels Thats the reason why some people only build models with wheels...
I agree with your opinion on tracks being the crowning jewels of a vehicle. Ive been working on an SdKfz 10 from Dragon and when I looked at the magic tracks, I decided to order some metal tracks and use the magic tracks for a wreck, or a deserted field workshop.
You are the best I have seen. I try not to miss any of your videos. But utube doesn't send them out.. but that's ok I look till I find them. I just started back into building models. It's been a jery long time. I Lear so much from you. I would like to say thank you for your time and videos.
It looks EPIC
AWESOME job on the tracks. They look bada**.
great informative video. I am doing tracks this time!!
I want to engage you as the main highlight on my next birthdayparty!!! 😄 absolut fantastic work! This tiger should stay in the Louvre in Paris!!
Nice work on the tracks.
Pure FREAKINGLY MIND BLOWING RESULTS Uncle N S😲😲😲😲😲😲.Thank You For Sharing n Have a Blessed Wknd Brother.
Thank you , Uncle Martin .
9:10 is it bad that I immediately associated that mud with brownie batter and wanted to eat it
If it wasn't enamel, but instead Aqualine (which smells like vanilla or chocolate - it's hard to identify, but it smells so sweet) I'd be too 😄
Excellent video. Thank U
1 more to go - soooo looking forward to seeing this done. Friday can't come soon enough!!!
You are absolutely right on the track wear. Late tiger road wheel sets deleted the outer wheels. This put more of the weight on the inner area of the track causing the uneven wear. The tiger at vimoutiers also shows grooves on the inside of the track where the road wheels rubbed. Mid and early tigers had that extra set of rubber rimmed road wheels which spread the weight more evenly and caused more even outer wear and less wear inside the track too
What an AtTRACKtive tank!
Martin i use all the vms products love all there products but i use them my own way the black track pro product i us it the same way that you were using it i love the dirt that is left on when you use the track pro good stuff i do use the Acid bath the clear stuff it does make a difference in the outcome. Awesome video keep up the excellent work 👍
Looking Good !!!
Super film man
Great vid liked it a lot my friend
awesome video as always :)
hi I really like your videos keep up the good work
And we also expecting some other stuffs AKA bloopers 😅😅
Cheers and wow I really like what you've done!
Night shift is tank model god
Outstanding.........! 😎🦾🍻
Cool video!
Great video, dude. I watched your KV1 series and i decided to do a test with using hairspray over satin varnish after seeing the result of the heavy chipping fluid, i have to say the results came out nicer with the hairspray, maybe you could do a comparison on it in between large projects.
damn fine work
You are so good man, you are seriously such an inspiration to me. Have you ever thought about doing a full interior model?
Thank you! I don't have much interest in interiors tbh, they're almost completely out of sight most of the time, and I don't like displaying models "disassembled" just for the sake of showing the interior.
Very informative and entertaining video. Unfortunately, my patience level, especially when it comes to assembling and weathering metal tracks is virtually non-existent so following this method is out of the question. That's why I normally use burnishing fluid. Some day I may attempt this method.
Спасибо за видео) Все супер!
😂😂 12:56 his reaction is priceless 😂
Two years after this video, VMS has a newer track blacking solution!
I have 5 1:16 scale Tigers to build. Going to be fun.
You rock!!!
Great work,really like it!
Anyway,where are you from?
"guestimate" that's genius!!!🤟👍
Martin, what type of air brush do you use for small, detail work? And is it different than the one you use for larger areas? I've started into weathering with models lately,and am getting a real kick out of it! I love watching your videos, so instructive and you present in such an entertaining manner! You are the best! Thanks!
you should do some kind of a 1/16 scale tank in the future!
Dec 21, 2021, and livin' the dream...
I wonder how far one can go with these...to perhaps suggest how much sun is on the tank instead of an overcast day...whether the light on it is broken by branches, etc.
Man that preview with tracks on tiger looks way more realistic than a real tank (>u>)
You know i mentioned the pigment and alkyd binder by VMS? It works in the exact way that you use your paste in this video.
tha tank started a little bit odd, but it became beautiful!!!
good evening, bravo , i watch almost on you video . i am a medium beginnerr and i jut wander how to make the tracks sagging on plastic ones ( this is an old Airfix Tiger ) . Thank you for any tips . Awaiting for your last video . Greeting from France . Best Regards . Laurent Deckers .
I uncle we trust!!!
Are there any good alternatives to wilder texture earth? Because here where I live wilder products are either super expensive or non-existent.
Do a pershing!
Stronk tenk!
can I just airbrush the metal track black or do they have to be burnished
Can't find a link to these specific treads??
I definatly wouldn't use Aceton because i hate the smell I'd isopropyl but hey I'm building the first model a revell bf109 g10 but there are a few parts missing so i'll probably just use it to "train" a bit for früher models
what was ur first model kit?
0:21 like in song "Can't go to hell": sit back, relax, begin :)
Ahhh,, who doesn't love a quick sniff of acetone
great job ;) How many times you keep the track in acetone?
Only once for a few minutes, I lost patience after that and pulled them out :D
It is one of that moment when I regret that there is no Friulmodel tracks in 1/72 scale. But maybe in future they will do them? :D Great tutorial, as always. All the best for You! ;)
What options do we have in 72? Resin from OKB Grigorov? Is there anything better at the moment?
@@NightShiftScaleModels nope. but for really small pre-early war stuff theres photoetch kits for say the T-26.
@@NightShiftScaleModels Yes, probably it is true. And also, there are some PE tracks, like these for T-26...
I would hope that you could maybe work on a modern us vehicle. For example a mrap
or an Abrams :)
For the color, maybe copper sulfate?
are you going to make a diorama with this tank?
Imagine not liking the video
Liked... TFS, G :)
Where do you get wilder products in europe? I've tried looking everywhere, but cannot find any shop that sells them.
Also yes I'm still alive, I just got rusty with my puns :(
Try counterforce models webshop!
Yeah, Counterforce.
But to answer your question, I received the Wilder stuff for free directly from Adam several years ago, before I even thought about doing videos, back in the day when I was writing articles and stuff like that... so, for promotion. But I like his acrylic products so much that I keep using them to this day :)
Let me know if you are coming to India (Bangalore) any time
Wich tracks are? Taigen? I need for a tiger early version movable.
Friulmodels (sp?)
May i have that model😂
Unkle Night Shift , what camera u use for this lovely videos ;p ? Please tell US :)
Nikon D5100 DSLR :)
@@NightShiftScaleModels wow You surprised me , DSLR , and this is look so nice :) Good Job UNCLE
Dobrý den hodláte udělat nějaký nový článek do časopisu modelář
I'm not familiar with that bluing system. Is it selenium-based like "real" gun bluing?
I don't know much science behind it, but gun bluing seems to act much faster - almost immediately. This takes some time.
I was curious about this as well. If so, hopefully u poured the bluing solution into a smaller working container, worked from that, and didnt return any of the used product back to the original jar. If you do that with traditional bluing solutions it usually will cause the whole bottle to become useless after a period of time. However i know nothin of the type ur using, and if its cheap like u mentioned then it wouldnt be a terrible loss anyways. Great videos. Im more of a miniature wargamer, but love the techniques you teach as they are easily applied to other styles of the hobby. Good work my friend.
