Night shift I just wanna say I love your TH-cam videos, thank you so much for sharing these videos and showing all the tips and tricks, keep up the good work buddy (:
I'm a great admirer of your work. Not only are your skills quite amazing but your commentaries are very informative and humorous at times keeping it interesting to watch full videos. Keep up the great work.
"MA-FRENS!!!" .... how I know my weekend is off to a good start. Damn, that manhole cover looked so real, I swear I heard it go CLANG-CLANG when you dropped it into place!!!
I really love the look of the multi-colored brick/stonework in this video & last weeks video. What a difference it makes. Looking forward to next week.
Absolutely fantastic - I always considered you one of the best modellers on TH-cam, but recently you went above and beyond and I think you top my private ranking right now, just a length of the brush tip ahead of Plasmo. Excellent work and attention to details.
Also, if you ever think of writing a book, please rest assured that you have my money. I'd love to buy an album-like, thick (200-300 pages) tome or 2-3 smaller tomes with buckets of written-down knowledge (from the rather beginner level to what you present here recently) and a ton of beautiful, detailed pictures, printed on a good quality paper.
Very nice cobblestones. I really enjoyed today's episode. I had a hip replaced Wednesday so I'm sort of laid up. Your channel is going to be my model fix for awhile. Enjoyed the hell out of it, today.
Wow!!! Fantastic concept! I love how so many modeling techniques use things that would otherwise be discarded, yet create something so individualistic and superior to something that comes as a kit! There is no subsitute for talent and ingenuiety! Thank you for sharing this information and the techniques involved!
Wow, just wow! So realistic! Makes me ashamed of the way I build my diorama, but mine are just temporary. Up a couple months and then dismantled and thrown out. But I loved watching this!
Can't believe how easy, fun and accessible you make these diorama pieces.... huge thanks for sharing! Will have to try my newbie hands on exploring and create 🙏🏼👍
Excepcional trabajo, enhorabuena. Me podrias indicar que tipo de material utilizas y donde lo compras, pues yo trabajo siempre poliestireno extruido pero me doy cuenta que no es ese material, que tipo de espuma utilizas. Muchas gracias me ha encantado el vídeo.
A friend of mine use to carve the dense florist foam from craft stores into shapes he wanted and then impregnate it with auto fiberglass resin... made the carving as solid as a rock.... that way it could be handled without damaging it... he had great luck with it....he created a space ship model of the Spindrift from "Land of the Giants" with that technique used for the hull... people were amazed by it...
It would be great to see a vehicle on the eastern front with white wash and snow. But in 1/35 this time. A wheeled vehicle like an armoured car would be really nice too, especially for the different weathering involved.
I'm constantly doing the same, I work at the T Mobile campus here in Kansas City and I'm always taking pictures of brick formations, drip stains, rust stains on the sides of the garages, using the pine needles and other foliage for dioramas for my ground cover .
Thank you I really needed this video, I'm working on finishing put my jagdpanther and I was looking Into trying a vignette for it, this really helps give me and idea of what to do and makes me feel confident I could do it, ever since I found your chanel I started working on tanks with full interior and started using my airbrush more, thank you Uncle Nightshift
The fact you recorded yourself walking down the those cobblestone streets means you must be getting better regarding your leg, hope you're on the mend. Great work as ever
Haven't seen such an authentic looking model road in a while, I truly admire how it eventually turned out. A perfectionist paert of me suggests, that that a little bit of epoxy resin would have been needed under that drain in order to represent sewage water in the tunnels (although, it probably would have melted the styrofoam, but that's just a speculation), albeit it is just my opinion, and it doesn't change the fact that this looks amazing.
Instead of wiggling something in the cut lines you can use a hairdryer/heat gun on the foam to make it shrink slightly from the cuts. Should save you some time 🙂
For your consideration as future project inspiration. On active duty in Germany with the 3rd Inf Div I observed on several occasions the result of a tracked vehicle doing a pivot on both cobblestone and brick roadways. The damage is tremendous with cobbles flying and bricks crunching. The tracks leave some interesting marks as well on surfaces that are not torn apart.
I wonder if this could be used for a 1:18 road, or if the wheels of the cars would sink on the surface due to weight... I'd like to have a wet cobblestone road with puddles for pictures...
The technique you have employed being to periodically compare your work to original researched images makes your video so far ahead of the rest. The comparisons make you work outstanding because we, the humble viewer has something tangible to compare it with. Inspiring.
Very cool, love the moss!
Moss on architectural models is like mud on tanks, always juicy!
oh I'm a huge fan nigel, fun to see you here as well!
Watching you while modeling is Just giving so many more ideas you can do to whatever you have infront of you rn
watching him while modeling is why my projects take years!
Can't wait to a crater with stowage in it maybe? Love you uncle!
"Man, this week is diaorama week, I love seeing how all this comes together"
Uncle Night Shift:
"So I hear you like roads"
I mean, roads are the BEST!
Diaorama same the real
Night shift I just wanna say I love your TH-cam videos, thank you so much for sharing these videos and showing all the tips and tricks, keep up the good work buddy (:
Thank you , Uncle Martin ,
Good to see you walking again .
Is this planning to be done by Christmas? Would be pretty nice to watch Nightshift Christmas morning with some cocoa and new kits lol
Let this man have a private life if only for christmass
@@karomiooo you can set upload times, so he doesn't have to take time on Christmas to post it
@@karomiooo chill.
@@karomiooo Christmas is overrated
The full diorama video is coming up next week, so 1 week before Christmas :)
can’t wait to see the finished product uncle night shift!!
Happy seeing the footage of you walking around. Glad your leg is better, Uncle NS.
I've been doing this a long time and I still look for other's work for inspiration. Yours is some of the best stone work I've seen.
Thanks
Uncle Night Shift could post 365 days a year and I still wouldn't get enough. I love the content!
Incredible work as always. Great commentary as well. The best modeling channel online in my opinion. Thank you.
Your skill at turning simple foam into works of art is outstanding.
The detail to each stone is impeccable! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Here we see a master turning a block of foam into an actual cobble road.
I will never cease to be amazed
These videos are great, they never feel the same. These videos really help me getting better
Unky Night Shift makes my weekend with a new video :)
Wish all them patrions had model TH-cam channel's! Be great to see all the hidden away talent in the model community
I’ve been planning on a cobble stone road on my idea. This helps a lot, thank you.
Looks just like the streets in my neighbourhood, so cool
Really cool how you cobbled that together! 😄
Looks fantastic! Your attention to detail is incredible and the illusion is perfect. Thank you for sharing.
Man, I am sure you heard this a million times, but you are a true A-R-T-I-S-T-!
I'm a great admirer of your work. Not only are your skills quite amazing but your commentaries are very informative and humorous at times keeping it interesting to watch full videos. Keep up the great work.
IMPRESSIVE SET UP OUT OF THE SHED WITH A LOT OF HARD WORK NICE .
"MA-FRENS!!!" .... how I know my weekend is off to a good start.
Damn, that manhole cover looked so real, I swear I heard it go CLANG-CLANG when you dropped it into place!!!
Very realistic looking cobblestone road... very realistic. Beautiful work !!!!
I really love the look of the multi-colored brick/stonework in this video & last weeks video. What a difference it makes. Looking forward to next week.
Great at the beginning to see you walking briskly!
I love your work on armor, but the diorama work you're doing might be my favorite. Absolutely fantastic work! Super inspiring!
Man, you are really, really, really good at this stuff. That's it. That's all I have.
This has more entertainment value than the typical two hour movie!

Ouch, I'm sorry for that! But you'll feel much better after about 6 weeks!
Wow!!! Fantastic concept! I love how so many modeling techniques use things that would otherwise be discarded, yet create something so individualistic and superior to something that comes as a kit! There is no subsitute for talent and ingenuiety! Thank you for sharing this information and the techniques involved!
I love your sense of humour mate
Yeah, your attention to detail , and how you apply it is very enjoyable to watch
Wow, just wow! So realistic! Makes me ashamed of the way I build my diorama, but mine are just temporary. Up a couple months and then dismantled and thrown out. But I loved watching this!
Perfect timing! I plan to try some of this on my future M8 Greyhound diorama. Beautiful as usual, the amount of texture and variation is amazing!
It’s promising for the whole diorama 👍🏻 see you next week 😊
Thank you, I was getting bored of making models until I saw your video. It inspired me so much 💚
As usual, plenty of skill and talent mixed with a great imagination. Thanks for sharing 🇦🇺👍
So well done! The depth effect from the slotted drain grate especially effective, a simple detail that just adds so much. Thanks for the inspiration.
That looks amazing! Such a good use of colors to create reality!
It just gets better and better!
Can't wait to see the finish dio!!!!
Can't believe how easy, fun and accessible you make these diorama pieces.... huge thanks for sharing! Will have to try my newbie hands on exploring and create 🙏🏼👍
Excepcional trabajo, enhorabuena. Me podrias indicar que tipo de material utilizas y donde lo compras, pues yo trabajo siempre poliestireno extruido pero me doy cuenta que no es ese material, que tipo de espuma utilizas. Muchas gracias me ha encantado el vídeo.
This is such a relaxing video to watch.
You have an exceptional sense of observation!
This is very convincing.
Greetings from south africa once again, your techniques are so amazing, thank you so much…..please do take care and be safe
A friend of mine gifted me all these 8 to 12" tall DC figures and now I want to build a diorama using these techniques!
A friend of mine use to carve the dense florist foam from craft stores into shapes he wanted and then impregnate it with auto fiberglass resin... made the carving as solid as a rock.... that way it could be handled without damaging it... he had great luck with it....he created a space ship model of the Spindrift from "Land of the Giants" with that technique used for the hull... people were amazed by it...
Nicely done, Sir; thank you for sharing!
Great work, I like your approach of weathing and using foam very much.
Masterpiece of Detail.
It would be great to see a vehicle on the eastern front with white wash and snow. But in 1/35 this time.
A wheeled vehicle like an armoured car would be really nice too, especially for the different weathering involved.
Yes, absolutely, but from the German side this time. Panther ausf. D/A would be cool
That was a very good quick lesson on making a street section, I have always enjoyec your videos, take care and keep safe mate.
I have seen videos of people building roads like this with individual plastic cobbles, this seems like a way better solution
I'm sure both approaches are strangely therapeutic in their own ways :)
Cant wait for next Friday!
I'm constantly doing the same, I work at the T Mobile campus here in Kansas City and I'm always taking pictures of brick formations, drip stains, rust stains on the sides of the garages, using the pine needles and other foliage for dioramas for my ground cover .

Amazing artwork. Thank you for sharing.
Truly love watching tour content. Great work nightshift!!
Once again, outstanding! Bravo sir, thanks for sharing your talent
The fact you recorded yourself walking down the those cobblestone streets means you must be getting better regarding your leg, hope you're on the mend. Great work as ever
You are a continuing inspiration for the hobby, and an excellent and entertaining source of high quality information. Great stuff.
Love this! Always a pleasure watching your videos.
Man you are a GENIUS Sir.

Brilliant as always. So many tips for me.
Best Slovak Award🥇

Very effective, you have inspired me to give it a try soon, make a nice vignette to sit a tank or 2 on top of :-)
Quel Artiste !!! Bravo
Absolutely beautiful work, and great tips! Very well done video!

Wow it just keeps getting better! Really looking forward to the big reveal next week👍
Love your works, really apreciated.

Really enjoyed this, easy and very good 👍
Wow! That looks really nice! 👍🏻 Thanks for the tips!
Brilliant video Thanks
Love your stuff - ever thought of making a book/structured video course with all of your tips?
