Papa Nightshift: oH goD I'm So BaD AT PainTiNG FiGurEs.

Also papa Nightshift: makes a plastic figure look like a real human being

This video is a classic uncle Nightshift:
Paints a figure on a level many wargamers with hundreds of figures under their belt won't archieve and is still telling everyone that it is not that good...
Please never change XD

This guy's a genius in my opinion. Wish I had 1% of his skill.

Night Shift: Chipping is part of my religion, even on figures I will find something to chip

Humility, honestly integrity. He even films his breakdowns. That's why you're such a damn good tutor. You're authentic. People relate. Oh, did I mention also an Epic modeller?

[CoalPoggers]

“I shall call him, Mini Martin!”
-Martin, probably

[adorimable]

like i said when you asked, it looks great in giving the model life

[jacobs_models]

When his first figure is better than ones you've been making for a year😔

Anyways, looks amazing!

Model companies: *makes specific paint colors*
Modelers: “I’m gonna use a concoction of several paint colors for this”

Camera work was great; so many figure painting videos where it would've helped if the camera was a lot closer.

Me: should be paying attention in school

Night shift: uploads

Me: well alrighty then

[evernightcreations]

This figure looks absolutely perfect. I love the wires you added for detail. The finishwork is fantastic! ❤

A suggestion for the future. I recommend painting a bit of a shadow on the tank where the hand is covering edge of the hatch. It helps sell the relationship between the figure and the vehicle.

Always Prime Flesh areas with white! It reflects light back up through the paint layers adding a more 'lively' look!

[johngalt]

Good point about using quality, well sculpted figures.

[noobiepro]

He is right about the good model paints it self

[ndewingful]

My friend you are too humble, it looks great! There's always room for improvement but your foundation is truly impressive.

[realityinscale]

for sure it is the best tuturial for figure painting ...you are wondeful Martin

Black leather i use English uniform and black with a wee touch of brown, gives you a nice leather effect. Great video mate....

[Torquejunkie]

Never painted a figure before. Immediately paints a better looking figure than i have in 23 years 😄
