Painting Military Themed Easter Eggs!
My friends, painting Easter Eggs is a tradition I never really participated in, so this year I decided to give it a try - and, of course, I chose a color palette I'm most familiar with, so let's paint a US Army Egg from Normandy, a German Egg from Kursk 1943, and a Soviet Egg from Berlin 1945!

A rooster wakes up early Easter Sunday morning. He sticks his head out of the chicken coop, and sees all these multicolored eggs all over the barnyard. He takes a look at the eggs, takes a look at the hens, takes another look at the eggs, takes one more look at the hens, he thinks about it for a minute, then he walks across the barnyard and kicks the crap out of the peacock.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Thanks. Have a Great Easter.
😂😂
🤣😂🤣😂🤣 Good 1 👍👍
😂🤣
Brilliant 😂
Finally Bulletproof eggs...happy easter
Happy Easter.
"Ma.. Friends" I swear that makes me smile everytime I hear it.
You can freehand the white stripes because historically the egg crews often applied those markings in the field, also by hand.
"egg crew" lol 😁
Does anybody know why those stripes were added?
@@garyslayton8340pretty sure they where to help identify friendly tanks from a distance
@@garyslayton8340invasion stripes, so the other tankers can identify it being friendl
He said that he doesnt like to freehand it
What about Zimmerit? Guderian wouldn't want his eggs to be susceptible to magnetic grenades.
The _Eggtung Panzer!_ jokes write themselves.
Finally - a subject where I don't have to stress out over the "eggshell" texture in my paintwork!
that's absolute genius
I can’t believe you had me watching you paint eggs for a quarter of an hour 😂
*Worth It* 😌👌
The plastic eggs are a compelling alternative to try out paints and weathering techniques before the model! I was hoping to see the seams be covered in weld marks because what reputable tank manufacturer *doesn't* weld together egg halves? The logical conclusion to this experiment is a return of the Sharotank model... in Easter livery! 🐰
haha you're right , weld seams would have been funny :D
Theres always one 😂
And rivets! Another egg with rivets!
Camouflage eggs, for extra difficult easter egg hunts. Nice.
This was fun. Maybe next year we can see a Japanese egg with “yellow” stripe camo, a British one in the Caunter desert scheme and perhaps something French or Italian.
If there is anyone who can make us look and listen to the painting of Easter eggs with interest, it is you, and I must say that it looks very beautiful...... Happy Easter to everyone.
Happy Easter.
Martin, opening up this video had me feeling romantical 😂
Dear Martin, what a fan service! An extra seasonal video what no one asked for - but we still ll appreciate! Im so glad you turned down you tight weekly schedule to make these videos happing.
some details like zimmerit, riccochet marks or bulletholes with cracks would be cool :D but still nice work
Happy easter Martin!
Glorious.
Your talents as a floral arrangement artist may warrant another channel.
I love when you make unique models like this, where else am I going to see someone making military EGGS!! Keep up the great work.
Very cool, my Dad used blow the contents out of eggs and hand paint beautiful landscapes on them.
That's awesome, you may have also just stumbled onto using them for test mules. They've got curves and dimension that may serve for auto and aircraft too
And happy Easter to you too buddy! 😉
Ha-ha! Happy Easter Martin🥚
Id love to see a little tree dekorated with these!
That would make the hunt extra challenging for sure!
Good luck finding them once they are in the garden.
I'm imagining the hens that layed those eggs dressed in the corresponding uniforms - happy easter Martin
Absolutely BRILLIANT!
Eggcellent wasnt it!!😂
Honestly beast thing that could have happened on Easter, a nightshift video
A fun, original idea! Happy Easter! :)
*TACTICAL EGG!*
What have I just watched,the only person Who can make painting eggs interesting,great work!
We’re one step away from NightShift opening a video from a bubble bath.
The soft edge removal looked great. I saw the airbrush going on and was freaking out (yeah, again) but I waited, and "la" it got all better.
Absolutely love this! I did an Airfix advent calendar last year! Happy Easter 🐣
Stupid fun is the best type of fun!
"Easter Eggs for WW2 Moustache Man" picture springs to mind.
Panzer egg!!! You know you have to do it now. :D
That hole in the egg is the port for the MG34 or Browning M1919. Legend has it that Mr. Kovak hid these eggs in the garden, and they have not been found to this day.
Awesome! Happy Easter! I see others were thinking what I was: need some eggs with weld seams, battle damage and rivets. Might as well put on some tracks and running gear, lol!
Incredibly creative. Well done.
Great build. Such excellent design 😍😍
You did a great job on those eggs Martin, they look fantastic .
Oh my god, finally military modelling goes madness!!. Naaa, it´s a joke, nice as always. Can´t wait your next one. Greetings from Spain
Haaa haaa.... 😅😅😅 That's just plain AWESOME ? Where the h... do you get these ideas ??? And VERY nice execution too. Happy Easter to my favourite uncle....
Finally, I was waiting so long for someone to make a recreation of the famous WWII-era War-Eggs!
Those are utterly superb - so Happy Easter and don't overdose on the chocolate!
I was immediately into this and after "construction" was complete , I looked forward to the weathering stage .
Wishing you and your family a Happy Easter!! This video was a pleasant surprise!
And now for something completely different... and happy easter to you too.
This looks great! I still somehow feel like that rabbit could have used a steel helmet to tie the two themes together lmao
A brilliantly creative idea! Thanks for the video.
I think they look brilliant, well done and Happy Easter everyone 🎉😊
Наконец-то, бронеяйца!)
What a brilliant idea! Now I'm envisioning this year's Christmas tree with all sorts of camo ornaments.
This is great, I am definitely doing this over the weekend! Happy Easter!
Another great idea executed perfectly 🤓
Happy Easter Martin. I've got the children for Easter Weekend so no modelling until Tuesday. 😊
Happy Easter, crazy fun.
This was great fun to watch! and the end result was actually really cool. Happy Easter Uncle Night Shift!
Thanks for the little fun video for the holiday
Definitely good fun!
When someone who is greatly overqualified, ends up painting easter eggs ;)
The last thing I expected to happen today was a lesson on interior decorating from one of my favorite armor modelers!😂
That was fun to watch.
That is such a cool idea man! Happy Easter! 🙂
This is absurd. I love it!
Lol I really like the idea way to think outside the box Martin good job
An egg-cellent video and a cracking paint job on all the eggs! Might have to shell out for a few and give it a go myself, though I might be too chicken to try.
How to make Easter egg hunts extra hard:
Great job, love it...we had an egg decorating contest at work with foam eggs and I made mine into a pineapple grenade. :)
WELLLLLLL It's " UNIQUELY " Different " Unc " 🏆🏆🏆 Happy Easter & GBA 🙏🤗 Gary.
This video made me laugh so much. Definitely my favourite KZheadr and the best armour model maker out there
Saw a cartoon yesterday a bunch of brightly painted eggs and one in camo in amongst some grass. The camo egg says 'It's like you guys want to get found!"
😂😂 that was short and funny clip. Happy Easter!
That was fun! Happy Easter to you too, Martin! D'akujem za skvelú prácu a milú osobnosť (I hope I got this right) 🙂
This was a really fun video, and super well executed!
Just as an FYI: Open your palm, place an egg with the "fat" end on your palm, take a cylinder (about 2.3 cm diameter) and place it on the narrow end, holding it down with your index and thumb, while stabilizing the egg with your other fingers. Make sure there's as much contact between the egg and the cylinder. Smack the cylinder with a large serving spoon. Hard enough to crack the shell around the cylinder, soft enough to not go through. This will take practice, but you will be able (with a razor) to peel a perfectly circular "cap" and void the contents. Bonus: this (depending on the diameter of the egg) will allow you to separate the yolk from the liquid. A smaller aperture (usually between 1.5 and 2) will only allow the liquid to come out (a bit of shake required). When you're done, you put water inside, shake it, void that, then you can put the "cap" back on, matching it to the hole and let it rest. You want to clean it, because if you don't, the remaining liquid will "blow" the "cap" off when it goes off, but if you clean it, it will naturally glue itself to the rest of the shell, giving you a perfect, hollow, clean egg to work with. Alternatively, you can also make a small hole in the top and bottom, after vigorously shaking the egg like a chacha dance and then putting pressure on the top, you blow the contents out, also, leaving a hollow egg. Good for making a quick omelette.
Very cool.I'll have to try that.I really like the eggs.The way you paint them always enjoy your videos.Keep on mindling
Of course we now expect you to do a Missile Toad for Christmas 😉👌
Happy Easter holidays dude, great fun video 👍
Thank you , Uncle Martin , Happy Holiday . 🐺 Loupis Canis .
Man this is some brutal Kraslice.

😂😂😂 Perfect !!! ...what a cool idea...lg michey-berlin

A very interesting incite, Thank you, an obsession to detail, is an obsession complete, that room for innovation and improvement 😁👍
Me and my Czech friend were just talking about painting eggs today 😀
Zimmerit eggs for next year... 🥚✨ Happy Easter..!
Happy Easter, Martin.

Great idea 👏
Remind me of th time when me and my dad painted our combine in german camo, olivgrun and dunkelgelb, with cross and everething
brilliant idea!
Ahh😊 this was something different and pleasant
Easter would not be complete with some zimmerit coated eggs. Great idea and awesome execution, long time fan of your work!
Happy Easter, uncle Night Shift!
Well done great way to just get some practice with an airbrush and experimenting with shading and texture. Then you also get a decoration that reflects your hobby, win win👍
