Hello my friends, I hope you enjoyed this series!
There are actually going to be 2 videos about the vignette because I made a small, but quite complex detail for it! The video will drop next Friday as usual :)
It would be cool if you gave a 40k tank your full treatment 😁
Really looking forward to it! Very entertaining and a great reference for my own bumbling tries ;)
Hey uhh can you or do you have a video on mixing paints?.. i have this mech i built but it has seam lines everywhere so i use vellayo putty to cover the caps so i can paint over it but i cant quite get the nechs base colour..despite on the guide it has like this-
60% of paint A
30% of paint B
14% of paint C
4% of paint D
As an example^ obviously the paints have proper names lol. But ive just been starting out in modelling and not being able to get the right colour of greenish gray has just destroyed my motivation lol..i could just do my own colour but i want it to be anime accurate😅
Nothing is better than Night Shift on friday evening.
Or on a Friday morning stuck indoors surrounded with wildfire smoke. A highly useful and entertaining educational video that puts the seemingly unattainable within reach.
@@JazzWithJakeInSF sorry to hear that your surroundings is on fire... do you live in California?
Most people like friday because that's when the weekend starts, I like friday because that's when night shift uploads
And then you can build models during the weekend!
Friday should be renamed Nightshiftday 😉
Always makes me happy to see a new upload!
Well um , ya I'm glad its Friday, not only cause I can build models for the weekend, but it's my birthday, and I got kits coming today as well! Thank you uncle night shift for this upload!
-What kind of theory is it?

"A MOdELiNG ThEoRY!"
Everyone gangsta till the Crusader goes on a crusade
This one has a 98% chance of stealing your kingdom.
@@NightShiftScaleModels actually not stealing, but taking it back from alien invaders 😉
Oliver Viehland 170 countries in the EU? I think you mean 195 in the world :)
Deus vult
How to get perfect autumn evening:
1. watch Uncle Night Shift
2. well, that's all i need
The New one is Jagdtiger!
@Night Shift In your patreon, Even though I am not Patreon, I can see that it is a Jagdtiger
How do you know? You should have said "I think it will be a Jagdtiger" Instead
Thom Zhang cause he posted it on Patreon
most definitely not, even from those blurred out pictures it's obviously a T-28 from Hobby Boss!
I wish I could do something like that
Night shift just casually popping open that mud from Tunisia that he’s stored for years 😂 love it
Also amazing work that is a beautiful model
Uncle Night Shift be like: "I've got a jar of dirt!"
Now do desertised Challenger tank 🙂 the best tank ever.
It's so big tho!
@@NightShiftScaleModels but not in 48 or 72 scale 😉
the Abrams is waaaay better😘🤏👍🤦🏻♂️👴
@@kackblue2963 the Abrams doesn't have a kettle in it, 4/10

I would love to see you do a Panzer grey model from the early part of WWII. not a lot of people do them and I think its a niche some people could use help with in painting models.
Can I be so bold as to suggest/request...may we ever see a 1/16 model? I'd love to see what you do with larger scales where even more detail can be fit in :)
It would have to be a smol tank like the FT-17, although I'd love to have a T-26 in 1/16 scale!
"Hey you know what this model needs? Some genuine fricking quality dirt from Tunisia!!!"
It looks very... dusty👌
I'd love to see a Pz III or Pz IV done this well! You, sir, are one of the best modelers on this site and I look forward to every video you post.

Hey man!
I just discovered your channel. I used to build models when I was a kid, but never like the ones you build.
You constantly talk about your lack of skill, how there are modelers out there much better than you, professionals, etc.
I don't really know about any of that. I just know that the models you build completely blow away the things that I used to build when I was a kid. If my skill level is 1, yours is 10!
I've been immensely enjoying your videos. However, why not build some airplane models? Some ship models? Some science fiction models? The space shuttle? That's one I spent a lot of time with when I was a kid, and it turned out looking halfway decent. The best model I ever built.
Anyway, I love tanks, too. But with your skill, I'd really love to see you apply it toward some airplanes. Like one of those Corsair Navy planes with the w-shaped, foldable wings. Or a P-51 mustang. Or an F-22 raptor.
Anyway.
Great job modeling! Especially that easy eight Sherman tank, with the concrete reinforcement. I'd never seen anyone use techniques like that.
Have a perfect day!
Real nice Martin. I had fun with the T-34/122 I did on my channel as well. I love desert vehicles and those dusty campaigns. Looking forward to see what’s in store for the base.😊
Next step after this true piece of art integration of figurines, they give live to battle vehicles. Without they looked like robot, but there where peoples living inside of these monsters.
Uncle Night has said many times that figures aren't his thing, but I think he can do for figures what he does for armor. Getting skin and fabric and leather and such believable especially in smaller scales is a far greater challenge, I agree, but all it takes is practice, determination and more practice.
Come on, he's doing diorama vignettes- give him some time and he'll be doing figures with believable sweat on them.
Can you help me with some advice for the base color of a Type-69 II from Iraq?
Green base with desert color on top? :)
The rust effect on your gloves looks better than anything I could do
You know the weekend is off to a good start when there's a new Night Shift video!
Looks fantastic. Great work. Nice vid thanks for sharing.
I'm thinking that the scale size of that Tunisian sand that you used on the model looks more like chicken egg size gravel (in that scale) rather than the real "sand/dust" that would accumulate on an North African desert tank. Maybe something more like a fine dirt colored powder would look more "in scale". Not meant as an insult, just an observation. Thanks for the video.
Yeah, it was meant to represent random accumulations of loose dirt, not sand per se. Photos from Tunisia show a wide variety of earth ranging from sand, brown dirt and lots of loose rocks.For actual in scale sand I'd most likely go with some of those 0.25mm stones I used on the Syrian vignette.
Another great video my friend!!! 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Ending up looking totally amazing, no surprise there. I'd love to see you tackle an artillery piece like the WW1 big Bertha or the Leopold railway gun
4:02 So you are like Tom Sizemore's character in Saving Private Ryan? OK!
That is one beautiful Crusader
*A lot of technics on this beautiful model, it's a habit with Uncle NS! 👍👏*
Was fun watching you make this one. I made the Crusader in Call of Duty II and I kept flashing back to making it while watching this series. I know this tank so well as it was my first fully normal mapped model in the game. I agree it's an awesome tank. Makes me realize I need to build this kit! Great work as usual.
P.s. Nice tip wiv the 'Real Dirt' Pigment work around, too.!!
Sadly getting to Tunisia for a Pot of Dirt might be a little Difficult from Oz. ( even if we weren't all Locked Down. ) But Oz has Plenty of Dust n Dirt. In great variety of colour.
Next Drive I'm taking Pots. ( Not Pot..!! 😜)
Kim in Oz.😎
Congratulations on another beautiful video.
We are always here to listen.
Strong hug
Another quality video uncle night shift thanks for sharing 👍👍
Another great one!
While I´m just speechless of your skills, I want to make a few comments based on observations I made in North Africa including Tunisia. I went there for holidays with my 4x4 car and saw effects on it as well as on equipment left behind by oil companys, such as abandoned caterpillars and other things:
1.: Dust collects in the seamlines of vehicles very quickly, and it accumulates to a point that there is no shadow of the seamlines anymore. So if the colour of the dust is lighter than the base colour of the vehicle, it makes those seam lines look lighter. So the opposite of what we usually do with dark washes. A very light tone, sth 80% white and 20% iraqi-sand mix would fit as a wash.
This happens not only in sandy desert conditions but in other very dry places too, i.e southern Hungary during summer if you drive on dusty roads for some time.
2.: Everything that is in moving motion with sand will get polished to the bare metal very quickly. This happend to the rims of my car in Tunisia. So I would think the outer surface of the tracks, a major part of their inner surface, and maybe even the road wheels of a tank. Frequent sand storms can even polish a whole vehicle.
3.: You did right in aplying rust. Rust forms from dew wich falls in the desert because of rather extreme temperature offsets. This means rust would mainly form on horizontal surfaces and barely on vertical ones.
In some cases I’ve seen thick opaque layers of dust that look like they are painted on, especially after a mountain bike ride in the desert
yeah, I noticed the same effect after an entire summer day in a bike park when it's very dusty and loose
@@NightShiftScaleModels I think you got the dust damned near perfect. Getting it to look similar but not painted on with different camo colors is a bitch.
Supposedly a Challenger crew member once said: in the desert, sand will get absolutely everywhere.
One of the best desert weathering 'how to's' that I've ever watched.... no scratch that - The BEST, and now I'm a subscriber !!
Very best from New Zealand.
Great build (as always) I am in the progress of building the Thunder Model Scammell Tank Transporter in full desert glory (maybe even Caunter scheme) so will be watching these videos a few times as I progress in to painting... And yes a German Panzer Grey would be a good next build
No pigment? Except that black one on exhaust :D but nevertheless, I enjoy Your videos ;) greetings from Košice.
Great Martin... When you will go build a truck kit, man??? I wait for this build... you is a great modelist...
Those really aren’t flimsy cans. Flimisies were 4 gal square topped cans. Those are 2 gal POW cans.
awesome ! wanna see Panzergrey tank in next series . do you know most of ur video have been reproduce to Chinese videoplatform BILIBILI ? do they have ur authorization ?
Fantastic work, I've got 2 Crusaders in the stash ;)
Just when I thought it was bed time............... Nope! Uncle Night Shift!
Now my Last week of holydays is over :( PS Damn Great Job Agin and Thanks for providing us content Every week :)
There's always the next week :)
Please do a DAK Panzer III someday! Seems like the ultimate WWII desert afv. Great series of videos, thank you.
Bit random, but I have figured out why on the exhaust the middle and top metal strips are closer together and the bottom and middle. For the top and bottom strips you have put them below the guide marker, but for the middle it is above the marker. Random but it makes sense why they aren't an equal distance. Anyway good job, and have fun with the diorama.
Please do something in 1/35 Russian / Ukrainian from recent wars in Donbass :)
Night shift, could you do another a amusing hobby model?
Hey, Mr. Night Shift your next build should be a Wartoon tank build by Meng, there are really interesting and fun to build.
Guitar strings make great tow cables, antennas, interior & exterior details like piping, conduit, grab handles, etc.
2:36 Wait a second, no astrophysics? Wrong channel I qeus. Great video btw
Recently I started making a Matilda in North Africa and this helped me get an idea on how much weathering I should have so thank you!
How about T-34-85? I'd like to see it on your channel.
Hello 👋
Fridays - new episode of The Boys and Night Shift's new video.
You're right! The second season is 🔥
Not going with the star antenna? Can you do an Israeli centurion? Best british tank ever and the grand daddy of modern armour.
You should check out S-model, they make really weird but really nice models.
Another crackin video buddy, thanks
😁👌
Shame the hatch is shut. British crews nearly always had them open, even in action. And in the desert, ventilation was vital.
Another excellent video Mate. What was the book and authors name you mentioned ?
Next build idea: Panther A or G in a winter camouflage?
Maybe you now make some burned tank wreck, like t34 hit by at gun.
Do you plan on doing any italian tanks? Like in russia, south italy, greek or simply africa?
Hello nigh shift! Is 50/50 Tamiya dark yellow and deck tan a good dungelgelb yellow? Thanks, have a great weekend!
I'd probably just use white instead of deck tan, but yeah, it's gonna look good!
can you stop using pigments as if I cant get mud and stuff so then the weathering does't work. so could you use pigments once
Ever thought about doing a tank with camouflage nets?
Another great project. Keep up the inspiring Uncle Knight Shift.
The British often had pennants on their antennas in the Desert . Nice job..I'm ready for the base.
love you’re channel it got me back into armor modeling:))
Yay! Friday nights with Uncle Night Shift!
Any chance you do a tie fighter? Or something out of Star Wars?
There are some small scrub bushes in Tunisia, so a couple spots of green plants aren't going to be unrealistic.
You should've ground down the dirt a bit for scale.
Some graphite on a few bolt heads would have gone a long way...
Even if I'm here in the first 10 minutes I never get a hearted comment lol
surprise!
@@NightShiftScaleModels thanks man, I absolutely love your work and you really influenced how I weather my models
Uncle Night Shift is related to Egon Spengler?
Any tips on german tank white washing? I’m looking to do this
Have you done a Russian KV-1 yet? I'd love to see that!
I'd love to see a late model Panzer IV with all the armour shields attached
I always admire, how You explain your works. Great Crusader! ;) All the best for You! ;)
What are all the ways to weather? Enamel, pigments, acrylics. Anything else?
There are weathering pencils which are water based I believe
Oils if ur a fancy artist and obviously real dirt :)
Its a shame this build has come to an end. Enjoyed watching you at your best. Look forward to seeing another one of your builds.
MARTIN! PLEASE! 1/35 model now mkay? :)
Thanks :)
yup :)
you kill me, bro. exquisite as per usual.
Watching Night Shift whilst working night shift.
勉強になります！いつも楽しく見てます♪From 🇯🇵
Should make a m4 Sherman captured
Loved the video. Most of my builds are WW11 European subjects.This gives me ideas for early WW11 builds
Indeed, another smoking model courtesy of my friend Uncle Night Shift. You too have an amazing weekend bruv! Cheers!
A beautiful result Uncle! I learnt a few new tricks watching you build this one from start to finish, and can’t wait to try them on my own humble efforts.
Looking forward to the next project.
Cheers from Australia!
I am painting vehicles for wargaming in the North Africa theater (1:56). I am watching this at the same time and I am now weeping with Pinterest envy (literally). Thank you so much for sharing this beautiful work of art.
Absolutely beautiful, I could watch you do your weathering techniques over and over, I learn something new in each of your videos. Thank you for all your instruction.
Don't know if you saw a video of Panther and Panzer IV in mud in Normandy on a show. If not better check that out. Also great model, again.
yaaay 1/35 scale, finally. Amazing job as always but I wonder if you could do a full interior vehicle ??
Cant wait to watch this series of videos! Love all the tanks. They look amazing! Just turned on to this channel and have a ton to watch.
Can anyone point me to a good online store to buy these types of supplies ?
I'm transitioning from painting miniatures to war models but need to find places to buy stuff like Vallejo metal colors. Wilder paints and other weathering supplies.
awesome work. love your builds. one day i will get around to finishing the 4 i am building lol.
Excellent work as usual!
Can you make a model collection video
Excellent overall finished effect. Thanks for posting.
