“Once everything was ROCK HARD in the morning” I bet everything was. I found that so funny, but take it wrong it just made me laugh. I really love your work and the content you make. Your voiceovers are one of my favorite parts next to your beautiful models.
Because of Night Shift I have officially sold my first commissioned model of Gaspatch's 1:48 Salmson 2A2 Mid Type! THANK YOU NIGHT SHIFT FOR GETTING ME INTO THE HOBBY!
Now You need to make a matching vignette where the hull without the turret sits in the woods and if You don't want to do the inside of the tank then put a fallen tree on it or make the tank overgrown with plants.
"My haste and my lack of brain cells that caused such an unpleasant problem." That's a mood. In all seriousness, it still came out amazing and you had a great way to overcome the issue. Hope you have a great vacay, NS!
Even when there's a mistake, Uncle, you still manage to roll with the flow and come up with approachable solutions. Love the fish detail! Made me smile when you were painting them!
I actually liked the look of the edges with the process, even though it was a mistake in resin mixing. The sloped edges seemed more natural in the scene.
Anymore dioramas and your backyard will be down to bedrock. Awesome build, love these vignette vids (probably a little more than your full dioramas, weird huh?) and the potent concise story the viewer can glean from them (the UXB vignette is breathtaking). Cheers.
By far my favorite project you’ve done was the “cats and dogs” jagdpanther build. I know it was a long time ago now but it really shows the immense amount of detail you put into your builds. I’m not a modeler myself but i watch a lot of modeling channels and so far I haven’t seen anyone use a real life example of the power lines outside of their house for a model. I love your content and I’ve been watching for a while just thought I should comment this to hopefully give your day a boost. 💕
What I absolutely love in your videos is that models, effects and dioramas/vignettes that were on an impossible level of skill for me are decomposed and explained so well, that it becomes very clear how this and that should be done, and very easy to do. The rest is the matter of 'technical' skills. And my models that were made after I found your channel are a great confirmation of that :)
Love the fish!! Every time I get stuck in a bit of a hobby rut and don’t feel like modelling, your videos always inspire me and make me want to pick up the brushes and hobby knife again!
So, I am LOVING these small vignettes using leftovers. I never thought of this, and it’s honestly a great way to accomplish something cool in a much smaller time frame. That stump is sooooo col
3:30 so you're telling us you spent hours rearranging a figure, a turret and a piece of wood on a styrofoam. That's passion for the hobby if I've ever seen it.
I like the stained wood panels on the sides of the base better than black. I use stained wood plaques on my diorama bases. I think it looks a little more professional and clean, although the black looks good too, and maybe even looks better on certain dioramas. Actually, with enough planning, you could use the black sides (of the built up groundwork) on TOP of a nicely framed plaque! Adding a brass nameplate or "Title" is cool too!
That plant work is fantastic. You've really inspired me to try a forest floor terrain piece with all the different plant products! Enjoy your vacation :) You thoroughly deserve it!
I know that the turret should be the focal point, but I just can't get over how good the tree stump looks. I am just so very impressed at the finished effect..
love it, love it, love it! a lil' thing that I would add, is a bit of organic debris and dust accumulated in the creases of the turret, and maybe rain stains, somethong like that. cheers to that beautiful work!
i love that turret. i know its sunk in the water and in shadow but my grandfather was a american tank commander during the korean war and he said all US tanks then were painted bright white inside to help reflect what little light was in the inside.
You sir, are an artist! There are many people on this platform that make excellent models, but you take it to the next level with your scenery. You need to start selling your back garden in small plastic bags! ;)
Excellent Diorama. I don't know if anyone has mentioned it here but if you put a couple of drops of dish soap in your bottle of diluted PVA it should break the surface tension and soak in, saving you the trouble of using IPA. That's what I've always done and it works for me. Keep the videos coming.
Your skills are unreal, watched every video and every new one I'm blown away 🙏 Have you ever tried making a diorama with cracked ice? Like a frozen lake/stream or partially frozen puddles is it possible? Enjoy your Holiday Shift!
I’m very interested in model trains and these form of dioramas. I have been consider to do another diorama themed around my childhood favorite show. This will take practice as my first diorama was for a school essay and I made that 6 years ago. After that I haven’t tried anything else besides a temporary outside layout. So I think it would a fun thing to do this summer.
Two tiny critiques I have (among a PLETHORA of praises) are these: The "roots" of the tree trunk look a little "janky" like an octopusian (if that's a word) alien, and the pants on the figure are a tad bit too bright and not blended softly enough into the shadows. The rest of this dio is MASTERFULLY DONE! The broken tree trunk looks sublime and the groundwork is outta this World (or EXACTLY LIKE this World!!). Yeah, the water effects along the edges of the base aren't perfect, but I think it looks fine. As usual, the blown off tank turret is a masterclass in armor modeling! What a perfect little diorama!!! I just found this channel and I've been binge watching around the clock. I think these are some of the best dioramas in the World!
As a student of Verlinden , you have far out shown the master , And yes , two part epoxy is a mess ! My last build required me to cast numerous small parts using silicone molds and epoxy , half of them never cured right ! Out of frustration I decided to pour 3D print resin into the molds , and leave them out in the sun Parts where fully cured in 5 minutes , with no air bubbles
Very weird things happen in war and tornadoes 🌪️💥 No explanation necessary 😁 It's your vignette Uncle Night Shift, do what you want. Great job. I'll be waiting to see what you come up with next. 👍
I really want to make a diorama for my wrecker I made but it's a long vehicle and I want to show when I recovered a vehicle on a hill basicly seeing your videos gives me inspiration but my lack of confidence holds me back
As an angler (who particularly targets Perch on lures) I approve this vignette. Outstanding attention to detail as always Martin. Every new video eagerly awaited.
“Once everything was ROCK HARD in the morning” I bet everything was. I found that so funny, but take it wrong it just made me laugh. I really love your work and the content you make. Your voiceovers are one of my favorite parts next to your beautiful models.
Yeah, it caught me a bit off guard lol
I have binge watched all your other material, so am always excited when I see something new ... Never disappointed - keep up the good work.
Because of Night Shift I have officially sold my first commissioned model of Gaspatch's 1:48 Salmson 2A2 Mid Type! THANK YOU NIGHT SHIFT FOR GETTING ME INTO THE HOBBY!
Congratulations on your first commission build, it must feel really good, best regards from Australia, 👍👍👍👍
That is so cool, congratulations!
Thank you , Uncle Martin .
🐺 Loupis Canis .
The beauty of your creations lies not only in your technical skills, but in the balance and artistry of the compositions. Thanks much for your work.
I agree his artistic and stylistic approach is what breathes life into the work.
Its very good to see you again night shift
Great job on the vignette Martin even with the resin not curing it looks great cheers my friend. Enjoy your vacation
Good day to you Mr. Night Shift.
Always love seeing a new Night Shift video. Keep it up.❤
Btw this was day 91 of trying to get noticed by Night Shift mission complete
When you mix your resin pour it into another mixing pot and mix again, this will ensure you get a more even mix. I learnt the hard way as well... 🤣
Time to make a vignette. I have lots of leftover parts. Love what you did with the tree!
im going to make my first diorama for a 1/72 scale model ,and im going to use your videos as some type of tutorial , love your work
Enjoy your vacation.
A dog at the start of a nightshift video? A blessing indeed!
Now You need to make a matching vignette where the hull without the turret sits in the woods and if You don't want to do the inside of the tank then put a fallen tree on it or make the tank overgrown with plants.
Cool idea 💡
@@thatotherguy7596 thanks
@@kszaczuch 👍
For your next 'palate cleanser' vignette, build The Tonk. After all, you already build The Tank of the Lake'.
😂👍🤦♂️
hahaha Love the fish mate... very nice build
This is a great example of why you shouldn't toss your bits. A moment of creation may hit you! 😎
Getting to watch Uncle Night Shift whilst working a Night Shift? What a treat!!!
"My haste and my lack of brain cells that caused such an unpleasant problem."
That's a mood.
In all seriousness, it still came out amazing and you had a great way to overcome the issue. Hope you have a great vacay, NS!
Even when there's a mistake, Uncle, you still manage to roll with the flow and come up with approachable solutions.
Love the fish detail! Made me smile when you were painting them!
Happy upcoming vacation. The diorama looks great.
I love your floors lol 😆
I like these smaller scenes with the occasional big project
Hello. A very nice little Dio. Again a masterpiece from you. Thx for showing.
Binge Watching your vids on a road trip and saw you uploaded
I actually liked the look of the edges with the process, even though it was a mistake in resin mixing. The sloped edges seemed more natural in the scene.
Make something out of leftover parts! Great! 🤩
SOOOO KOOOOOLLLLL !!
Love your projects .
Just amazing .
Great , WOW .
Just another night shift classic 😄
Always an Outstanding video and presentation.
You build an paint dioramas I dreamt of making as a kid,,,great work man 😊🏴
Anymore dioramas and your backyard will be down to bedrock. Awesome build, love these vignette vids (probably a little more than your full dioramas, weird huh?) and the potent concise story the viewer can glean from them (the UXB vignette is breathtaking). Cheers.

Just got home from vacation, your video is the perfect rest at the end of the day.
I mostly do planes in 1/32 but watching your videos made me come back to armor. Thanks for your hard work!
Am I the only one who laughed when whipped out that massive dagger. It was just so random.
Congratulation! Next fantastic work! 🙂🙋
As always nicely done.......Can"t wait whats next to build here.
its always a great day when nightshift uploads
Good work! So much detail) Thank you for video!
Love how you make the small things look awesome so much effort into a small but detailed project.
Für mich ist es Kunst was Du machst. ❤ Ich habe soviel gelernt durch deine Videos und bin Dir sehr dankbar. 😘🍺👍
I love your work! It has gotten me back into the hobby and just finished my first diorama in 15 years! Thank you
I know it doesn't really fit your style, but I liked when you added the little fish around the tank! It just made it seem more lively.
for someone who has an attention span of 4 mins, I could watch these FOR HOURS straight!
I like the stained wood panels on the sides of the base better than black. I use stained wood plaques on my diorama bases.

Just as I was on a binging spree of your old videos, Nightshift returns in glorious fashion.
Great work Martin! The little vignettes are some of the coolest! Love the plants and the river details, awesome!
Yes! Another video!
Loving the new wooden sides! Really makes it look more professional, so to say, Keep it up man!
That plant work is fantastic. You've really inspired me to try a forest floor terrain piece with all the different plant products!
Enjoy your vacation :) You thoroughly deserve it!
Nice recovery with the resin. Enjoy the vacation.
Splendid, simple and artistic...I love your work!
Night shift your skill is perfect for scrapyard scenes like for instance the rev w awdrys drawings of scrapped trains
Simply outstanding Martin !!! I love how well done vignettes can convey such a poignant story.
Well done as always sir 👍👍
I know that the turret should be the focal point, but I just can't get over how good the tree stump looks. I am just so very impressed at the finished effect..
love it, love it, love it! a lil' thing that I would add, is a bit of organic debris and dust accumulated in the creases of the turret, and maybe rain stains, somethong like that. cheers to that beautiful work!
2:21 I am dying 😂😂😂
When I see you posted it makes me want to stay up even later than 2 am
I always look forward to Martin's videos. And I always book mark and save them for future reference.
i love that turret. i know its sunk in the water and in shadow but my grandfather was a american tank commander during the korean war and he said all US tanks then were painted bright white inside to help reflect what little light was in the inside.

Happy travels, first vacation in years I now the feeling.
Yes somebody My Garden TM's monopoly. Truly hope My Backyard TM can shake up the market, excited for their catalogue
Excellent Diorama. I don't know if anyone has mentioned it here but if you put a couple of drops of dish soap in your bottle of diluted PVA it should break the surface tension and soak in, saving you the trouble of using IPA. That's what I've always done and it works for me. Keep the videos coming.

Have you ever tried making a diorama with cracked ice? Like a frozen lake/stream or partially frozen puddles is it possible?
Enjoy your Holiday Shift!
Despite the small size it looks absolutely fantastic.
Gorgeous wee dio, and enjoy your vacation.
After having a rough bad day this made it sooo much better!!!
I’m very interested in model trains and these form of dioramas. I have been consider to do another diorama themed around my childhood favorite show.

It’s so amazing how easily you fix mistakes
Am absolutely in love with all your videos, your honestly the best armour modeller on TH-cam. Keep it going!
That's NOT a mess! Not even close! Another great video...
Thank you Martin for another great video! Have fun on your vacation!!!
Looks good. Have a good vacation.
The stained wood bordering looks much better than the flat black you normally go for.
Two tiny critiques I have (among a PLETHORA of praises) are these: The "roots" of the tree trunk look a little "janky" like an octopusian (if that's a word) alien, and the pants on the figure are a tad bit too bright and not blended softly enough into the shadows.

I just found this channel and I've been binge watching around the clock. I think these are some of the best dioramas in the World!
watching you paint the static grass inspired me to do the same with my wargaming bases and it's been fantastic
Really effective vignette. Simple ideas often turns out to be the best. Very clever solutions. I truly enjoyed it. Enjoy your vacation!
As a student of Verlinden , you have far out shown the master ,
And yes , two part epoxy is a mess !
My last build required me to cast numerous small parts using silicone molds and epoxy , half of them never cured
right ! Out of frustration I decided to pour 3D print resin into the molds , and leave them out in the sun
Parts where fully cured in 5 minutes , with no air bubbles
Yet another fantastic build. You have some serious talent when it comes to composing vignettes and dioramas.
I've made a couple models and night shift really helped on weathering
Inspired everytime i watch your video. Great advices. Many thanks
I dont know how but you always make it look so good. Keep it up Martin!
Very weird things happen in war and tornadoes 🌪️💥 No explanation necessary 😁 It's your vignette Uncle Night Shift, do what you want. Great job. I'll be waiting to see what you come up with next. 👍
I love your ingenuity when it comes to reusing parts from other models to make something amazing!!!
it looks really good I enjoyed the process i love despite miner mistakes with the water it all turned out great.
Thanks for another interesting diorama.
HAVE FUN ON YOUR VACATION!
Another great model. Thanks
Have a great vacation !!
I really want to make a diorama for my wrecker I made but it's a long vehicle and I want to show when I recovered a vehicle on a hill basicly seeing your videos gives me inspiration but my lack of confidence holds me back
As an angler (who particularly targets Perch on lures) I approve this vignette.
Outstanding attention to detail as always Martin. Every new video eagerly awaited.
