i hope you know night shift, you are THE scale modelling youtuber, every other modeller either has said, or probably does, watch you. you are an inspiration to everyone!
I’ve gotta say, as someone who has never been into modeling and has absolutely 0 intention on getting into the hobby (don’t have the budget, time, or patience for it), I am absolutely in love with your videos. While this hobby isn’t for me, I get a ton of satisfaction watching you put a ton of care and attention into every model/diorama, down to the last detail. It speaks volumes to your talent, video quality, and ability to eloquently describe your artistic process that you’re able to captivate an audience that has 0 knowledge about the hobby
I love that you talk about the time it takes to finish the steps. It looks so nice but then I'm hearing something like "... 5 days and 5 to 8 hours a day ... ". You are a beast!!!!
Nice to have such longer and more in-depth videos! I personallly believe them to be incredibly "valuable" to watch, as many techniques and ideas are coherently tied together and make a really nice reference point when thinking about one´s own projects and how to tackle them. Most definetly worth waiting a couple of weeks even!
kinda a bummer you gotta give a disclaimer about when your next video will be as to not upset people. I watched your last video about you experimenting with upload scheduling and I for one get it man. in my opinion your a damn artist that's very articulate in your techniques take however much time is needed. I don't feel we need an explanation cause I know when I see an upload I'm in for a treat regardless of duration or how long since the last upload. I'm not even a modeler, but I get some serious entertainment out of your videos. I mean it's impressive what you do, so thank you for sharing your passion with all of us. take it easy brother and take care of yourself, health is more important than an upload schedule. much love from Cali 🤙
This model was definitely an Uncle Night Shift level event! Whenever I have a problem with a model I think to myself "What would Uncle Night Shift do?" and all I have to do is go through your videos. I bought an Australian version of the Abrams tank but the only thing that made it Aussie was the kangaroo and Australian armour decals. Your videos helped so much in fabrication and becoming friends with Tamiya paste and putty that my cousin who was in Amoured Corps gave me the thumbs up 🙂 Stay Happy and thanks🙂
I cannot tell you how much I enjoyed this video my friend. I set it up and then pressed play as I started chipping a 1:72 T35. I confess, I struggle with oil pin washes, all I seem to do is move the dark stain around rather than clean it from areas I don't want it. But, I have not done the technique much and it can be so many reasons why it isn't working for me, for instance that I am not applying it to the right surface (I did it over a dot filter but didn't put a varnish between the two!!). So, keeping it short. Thanks for this and once I get to teh end, I am going to replay it, just so I am modelling with a buddy!!!😂😂👍👍😉
Welcome back Ma Friend, nice results, did I mention that I have this kit in my stash, but with the transport wagons, I love the bigger kits, and also have in 1/35, Dora, Leopold and various Trumpeter steam engines, great to see you back, until next time take care of yourself, and cheers.
Legendary work. I've had fun adding metal edges early on with metal enamel paints. The side of the brush hazing the edges till they pop, almost like dry brush. When painting over with acrylics, I just rub the edges with whatever to bring them back. The enamel won't rub off.. By the way, your filming is also fabulous. I'll rewatch on a big screen just to get screen grabs!
I went to a scale model show this past weekend (Seattle, Washington, USA), and someone had built this and it was on display! I spoke with some of the people that entered and we all spoke highly of you and your work Martin!
Awesome work night shift I can tell now that you don’t have to worry about posting every week you are able to improve the weathering on the model a lot. Glad to see that you don’t have you worry about the weekly upload and you can work on the model stress free.
That is intense and what a masterpiece. That you finished it in under a year is phenomenal in its own right. Thanks for explaining what you use, paint ratios and shedding light on the brush as well.
Een van de beste model bouwers op TH-cam, je bent een grote inspiratie voor vele model bouwers, en je uitleg is super met zo nu en dan heerlijke zelfspot.
Now, I haven't watched every video you've ever done, but this one feels the most Night Shift to me. You are passionate and involved and every minute of this video is impactful. I hope you you are reading these comments lounging in a comfy chair with a good cup of coffee and a smile on your face. You're worth it, Uncle! And you deserve it! Much love, looking forward to the next one whenever it gets here!
That's a crazy build so far man. Amazing work, and I don't think many will realize just how much work actually went into it unless they've attempted something even somewhat close themselves. This thing is basically a full time job for month or more depending on how deep into the detail you go.
Amazing weathering work! You’re such a huge inspiration and there’s so many tips and techniques I’ve learnt from your videos that I try to apply to my warhammer models. Keep up the amazing work!
A beautiful result Uncle! As weekend modeller, I find your techniques and final results on your subjects simply jaw dropping. I have been following your channel for a long time now, and I have to say you have taught me a lot about painting and weathering my own models. I still have a way to go, but thanks to you I think I am getting better at modelling. I will eagerly await the final setting for ‘Karl’. Cheers from an Australian fan!
I am not one to worry how often you do your videos my friend, you should never over do this type of video as that will burn you out, produce your videos when you have the time, keep safe and well mate, bext regards from Australia.
Your weathering, and your exhaustive (and time consuming) approach to layering, is amazing and creates some stunning effects! Not a big fan of hi-lighting individual rivets but you do tone them down in subsequent steps. The final effect though, is a vehicle covered in different shades and tones that truly is a piece of art! Superb work, as always! 👍
Welcome back : ) With another awesome project : O Just fantastick all round - and very inspiring. You are helping me back into modelling shape with new and great techniques. One thing: You need to apply a small amount of fat black/brown greas to the gears elevating and lowering the barrel. Just a kind hint : ) Thanks again, Martin :) Best regards from Denmark Michael H
Idk if you have it like that too, but my favorite thing to do while watching your videos is to build models as well :D Its just so relaxing and calming, airbrushing my Mustang and next to me on monitor Uncle Night Shift talking :D :D
What a project. Congrats 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 It’s a pleasure to watch your videos. They’re an inspiration to paint. They show us a lot of technics and sugestions. You are my favourite paint modeller. You Rock it 🤘🏾🤘🏾🤘🏾
Wow ! Thor is looking great 👍 I never realised how many paints and AK enamel effects you have that's a lot !! Love all your tips and tricks on modeling they help me when im doing my models, I work in 1/72 on mostly german tanks, so yer thanks and keep up with your amazing videos !!
Agreed, I really appreciate the longer videos even if they are less frequent. As always, content is great and your modeling skills are definitely inspiring. I find myself trying to replicate the techniques you use in the videos. 👏👏
Awe inspiring workmanship What i need to know is how you can go from acrylics to enamels etc without destroying the paint work ,Do you seal each layer with a clear matt coating .
Thanks Martin this has been a great video and I am loving the format, and it is giving me the insparation to take down my Karl with railway transport from the stash shelf and start.
Great video as always, looking forward to the next one. As a sidenote, one of my favourite channels on youtube, history buffs, can sometimes have a gap of months-years between videos, but they are all quality. I don't mind waiting for quality content, and I'm very sure a large large majority of your viewers don't either. Happy modelling!
I said what I think your approach under your explanatory (for my lack of a better word for it) video and I'm sticking to it m the difference is grand and I really love it. Lots of niuanses, interesting snapshots (like you did with smoohting out paper on wet palette). Tldr: Great job my man!
It’s an amazing work of art. Take as long as you want we can wait as long as it takes. So glad you’re going to include some figures it so needs that scale reference. Great job.
You are so inspiring man. I enjoy building kits more than painting but you've inspired me to get an air brush and oil paints and try my hand at painting and weathering. I've started replacing welds with Tamiya epoxy and it's just so satisfying. Thank you
Very excited for the future of your channel if this informative and inspiring video is an example of what's to come with the change in your approach to content creation! Well done!
The most important thing to remember about rust on German vehicles, the soldiers had hobnails on the bottom of their boots. Hobnails are nails. Nails are metal,thus they scrape the paint which leads to rust. I was told years ago that tank crews removed the hobnails because they made walking on the armor very difficult. Add frost to the equation and someone is going to fall off the tank.
Love your work martin, currently painting my 3d printed Death korps of krieg army, I love your videos man and it wold be so helpful for beginners with your tips on weathering! Thankyou for all of the content! a mate from downunder
Thank you Martin, mah friend. Outstanding work with an attention to detail that is second to none. Can't wait for the weathering and base but I will - it will be worth it.
Great video as usual Uncle Night Shift, kudos for you to moving to releasing videos when you want. We know you don't need to do a weekly video to show us you're one of the best!
Hi, have you considered using a vacuum chamber to remove air bubbles when blackening the tracks. I've seen people using some small ones for various epoxy resin projects. I'm not sure how it will affect the overall process, I suspect temperature will increase so it might affect the look or the time it takes to fully treat the material. Anyway great video as always, cheers.
Your videos constantly blow me away. Well done. Quick question. Why did you not do the chipping with a lighter color of the grey and then add the brown to give the chips a 3d effect?
I agree with you 100% you paint your model the way you want to you paid for the model and it's your time and effort and you did a dam good job I have the 1/35 scale Dora from meng and it's a monster of a kit it's on my to do list once I find a place to display it keep up the great work will take this information to heart when I do mine
Natural hair brushes wont have a problem with enamels. Cleaning them properly and then dressing them afterwards (conditioning) is the key to long lived brushes.
As you can break the surface tension of water with dish soap, I was wondering if this could work out as well with the bluing solution to get a smoother result and less air bubbles while blackening the tracks?
The hydraulic pistons could use a slight dulling down I think. Real hydraulic pistons on large machines rarely look super shiny and they get a very slightly aluminum-ish satin finish from the grease and hydraulic fluid inside. Happens more on large machines where slightly larger tolerances on the oil seals let the oils out onto the silver surface. Also maybe making some straight oily coloured streaks lengthwise along the piston could break up the look.
One thing I would dig is a list of paints and things you used for each video, in case people want to follow along! It would beat going through 30 mins of footage for the combined 1 minute's worth of frames that show what you use! Also I know it is less of a tutorial, but I like to follow you sometimes to get a feel for it
Night Shift is the modern Bob Ross of armour modelling and dioramas. Best content and explanations of the work & history of the product. Don't let the pressure get to you - we are grateful that you can share these masterpieces with us at your leisure!
In watercolor the "best" painters tend to use multiple tones to paint one area by adding colors together as they go. This model really seemed like one begging for more than one color for the pinwash - you mentioned that the first bottle was too blue, which might have been amazing to use for "shaded" areas, allowing it to mix on the model (or dipping into the cooler toned wash with a semi loaded main color if full cool was not required). This could give even futher variation on the model, limited to the pinwashed sections.
Not going to lie for warm fuzziness. I liked it when my weekend started with Nightshift and ended with Corporal's Corner. THAT said. As I said on you disclosure video, you only get one ass. I TRULY understand how hard it is to stay inspired to build/paint. I have painted just shy of 100 complete table top armies from pretty much EVERY time period/genre. There's only so much you can do to individualize one or another model after that as I also do dioramas though that has slowed down due a lot in part to over all lack of patriotism in my country's latest generation. I balance out my work weeks between WORK, and my various model projects with at least a day in the woods sometimes using the quiet to sketch out and idea for a colorscheme. I don't film my builds. The only records I keep are purely account related i.e. paints and materials used for this or that project. If I take a picture, it is for the customer. Anyhoooo "Thor" is looking pretty damn good. Catch ya next time.
Beautiful work. Just one point, the chrome rods on the cylinders would probably have a few chip marks and rust. After 42 years in the industry I can say that rocks and weather takes its toll on the chrome.
Thx for the Weathering. Did you try "Molotows" Chrome Colour? Its amazing and easy better than the foil. Downside is only u cant really varnish this colour, because it will dulled down and not reflect anymore.
Awesome video! Love the extended content……… if i have to wait a week or two for more in depth videos, then so be it………. Enjoy life uncle night shift, and stay fresh……..
Honestly I prefer the once in a while 30 minutes video over the weekly 10 minutes videos
And I'm sure some videos will be even longer than that! :)
I like long videos aswell
Duration 31:58 - это круто!!!
Agreed
@@guerillagorilla4423 same
You were the one to inspire me to get back into armour modelling
He was the one who motivated me to even start
I'm not into moldeling but I love to watch your content..seeing you turning some plastic bits into a piece of art makes me feel very satisfied.
i hope you know night shift, you are THE scale modelling youtuber, every other modeller either has said, or probably does, watch you. you are an inspiration to everyone!
And this is why none of us care how frequent your videos are! They are always worth the wait!

I like this new format better than the old one. It feels more "artisanal" instead of standardized and mass-produced.
20:26 ‘breakdown from potentially doing the mud camo’ 😂😂😂 I can relate. Thank you for this 🙏🏻
I love that you talk about the time it takes to finish the steps. It looks so nice but then I'm hearing something like "... 5 days and 5 to 8 hours a day ... ". You are a beast!!!!
I am willing to even wait for 4 years to watch your next video, and enjoy every second of it. This is pure art
Happy to get this new format for content. My best wishes.
Wonderful finished Morser Karl Gerat . You make the weathering stages look so easy to do .
Glad you added the bolts around the barrel housing 👍
got damn this man never dissapoints
Your modeling skills are incredible! You inspire me to keep modeling, even though I am not that good at it.

32 minutes of bliss, and oh my the dust! I am really excited to see this next to a figure, it’s clearly huge. Great as always, keep having fun!

Phenomenal work ! :D
Loving these longer videos man, keep taking your time. It's absolutely worth the wait
looking forward to you painting the entire crew of figures ;)
I really like the longer videos that come when they are ready looks amazing dude keep up the good work
Great to see you back at your very best
I like what you said about your model, your rules 👍
That's a beautiful job, Martin. I love it.

Thank you Martin, mah friend.
Outstanding work with an attention to detail that is second to none.
Can't wait for the weathering and base but I will - it will be worth it.
Great video and a very fine piece of work. It's also an object lesson in contolling how you work and the benefits of not rushing. Great work.
You sound so enthusiastic again after your readjust. So enjoyed the longer video....enough time for a beer on a Friday
Great video as usual Uncle Night Shift, kudos for you to moving to releasing videos when you want. We know you don't need to do a weekly video to show us you're one of the best!
Jak zawsze cudo!!!
Ciężko się zastanawiam czy samemu sobie takiego nie zrobić!!!!
Czekam cierpliwie na kolejny odcinek 😁
Hi, have you considered using a vacuum chamber to remove air bubbles when blackening the tracks. I've seen people using some small ones for various epoxy resin projects. I'm not sure how it will affect the overall process, I suspect temperature will increase so it might affect the look or the time it takes to fully treat the material. Anyway great video as always, cheers.
Your videos constantly blow me away. Well done. Quick question. Why did you not do the chipping with a lighter color of the grey and then add the brown to give the chips a 3d effect?

It's really starting to come together, And the tracks, the finish you got on them is fantastic. Really looking forward to seeing the finished item. 👍
Natural hair brushes wont have a problem with enamels. Cleaning them properly and then dressing them afterwards (conditioning) is the key to long lived brushes.
As you can break the surface tension of water with dish soap, I was wondering if this could work out as well with the bluing solution to get a smoother result and less air bubbles while blackening the tracks?
I have this same model waiting to be built and now I think it's time after watching the video; superb work as usual.
The hydraulic pistons could use a slight dulling down I think. Real hydraulic pistons on large machines rarely look super shiny and they get a very slightly aluminum-ish satin finish from the grease and hydraulic fluid inside. Happens more on large machines where slightly larger tolerances on the oil seals let the oils out onto the silver surface.

Really enjoying the cinematography in this one
Do what works for you! Personally I prefer your videos that are dedicated to a specific technique rather than a start to finish of a model.
Wow! That looks fantastic Martin. Thanks for this particular video too,, it’s really got my mojo going to finish mine.
Thanks mah frend 👍😎
So much better those 30 min videos love this...
This is a WONDERFULLY made model i probably could never do better!
1/35th Karl??!!??!?! I haven't watched yet, but that thing must be a BEAST.

Yes the new upload format is going to be hugely successful. Engaging interesting content executed to perfection, what's not to like. Awesome
The new energy is great so is the new format.

Thx for the Weathering. Did you try "Molotows" Chrome Colour? Its amazing and easy better than the foil. Downside is only u cant really varnish this colour, because it will dulled down and not reflect anymore.
That behemoth is beautiful! Looking forward to the scenic base as well!
This model is indeed a beast
Beautiful work Martin!
It looks really fantastic with your painting techniques ❤😊
MiG makes a “masking foil” that works pretty well, and it’s not that fragile.
Beautiful work, Martin! Your videos always inspire me to spend time at the modeling bench.
Awesome video! Love the extended content……… if i have to wait a week or two for more in depth videos, then so be it………. Enjoy life uncle night shift, and stay fresh……..
Wonderful video, and, the break you took shows in the higher quality of the video. Well done.
The result is just mindblowing 😟
