  • My friends, tonight I'm bringing you the longest video I've done to date, packed with diorama techniques. From cutting and laminating an oval base to pouring an epoxy resin river!

    That IS-2 from the picture at the beginning belonged to the Polish 4th Heavy Tank Regiment, and our local tank museum decided to give their own IS-2 this particular turret number (4241 with the last number barely visible). It's in running condition, and when they were still holding reenactements at the old museum square, they even hanged the milk churn on the turret.

    The evolution of this channel is crazy, I can remember when not that long ago Night Shift was afraid of adding stowage, now he's got a full blown diorama! Keep up the good work.

    The tank is fantastic enough, but the setting itself (especially the tree trunk bridge) is perfection!

    How funny and wholesome is the fact that 2 years ago Uncle Nightshift was just flirting with dioramas and now he is hooked. I await the video where there isn't a model, ONLY a setting.
    Dioramas are fun to do, and economical as well. While more expensive tools make the work easier you don't need the fancy stuff to produce a pretty good diorama, even if you only have some basic brushes, basic superglue from the supermarket, lots of plaster, the cheapest paints and TRASH!!! Plastic and metal trash can be a godsend!
    The father of a friend of mine is a veteran modeler, won contests and such. He once built a biplane model from scratch for the local airport; an exact replica of one of the biplanes based there. He used empty sour crème cups, cut them up, straightened them with steam and cut them to shape. He build the cockpit, the engine, everything out of plastic garbage and the cheaper, 2 component plasticine-like epoxy. Took him like a week or two. The airport has been rebuilt since but as far as I know it is still displayed there.
    Scratch-builds and dioramas are fun to do because there is NO END to your own autonomy. Takes a lot more effort, time, work, but you'll end up making your best works like this.

  • @trident6547

    I just started smiling when I looked at the angle you had the gun. The IS-2 had notoriously bad gun depression and thus a rather slow rate of fire because the gun had to be returned to the default angle for loading. It was best in the role of bunkerbuster and not a tankdestroyer as intended from the beginning.
    The finnish tank museum in Parola has a few Soviet heavy armored vehicles from WW-2 and among them a ISU-152 built upon the chassi of the IS-2. Those beasts were huge.

    For anyone interested in real corduroy trench filling, we used bundles of logs tied into rounds and put on the backs of flatbed or tipper trucks. We did this because it was easier to roll them off the trucks into ditches without man-handling lots of individual logs. It also made them easier to move around with our rough-terrain fork-lifts.
    Once the top row was in place you only had to cut the top strings and spread them out level.

    you've probably already selected your next model and starting building it with a diorama in mind, but i think you should build some sort of winter diorama next. you've made a lot of dioramas with a relatively similar colour palette of muted greens, browns, and grays, and it would probably be a refreshing change for both us viewers and you as the modeller. and based on the videos on your channel, you've never done a winter diorama so i think it might be a fun challenge for you as well. just a suggestion though.
