Great videos! I’ve been watching his work for some time now. I’m using a lot of his techniques on my “Winter” Panzer III project.

Uncle Night Shift is da Man!

I reviewed these videos when working on my Tiger project. Very helpful videos to guide me in the right direction.

One of the easiest tricks is to use an area of irregular primer or metal colored blotch, filled to an extent with a deep black or charcoal grey. That roughly approximates the appearance of impact. The same principle applies to damage modeled with hobby tool.

Tried it Night Shift's way.

Liked the holes.

Filling them with putty was a PITA and didn't look
as good as the holes themselves.

Just mt 2 cents.
