Cutting The Best Tamiya Tank Model In Half... For Diorama Purposes!

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 29 ก.ย. 2024
- My friends, in this video I'll cut one of the most enjoyable Tamiya kits with a hacksaw. And I'm also going to build a WW1-themed diorama around it! All in raw materials, the paint will come in the next episode!

Absolutely loving the WW1 representation, armour from that period is a beautiful canvas for weathering, especially with all those rivets. Hoping to see more WW1 stuff in the future, maybe an A7V? 🤔
The A7V has been in my stash for years, but it's the interior that's putting me off :D
maybe like a a7v cut in half on the battlefield. That way you can see the action inside an outside
@@MieseKartoffel218 That would be cool to see, but to be honest, the A7V should probably be shown on its side, apparently they had a nasty reputation for falling over!
@@NightShiftScaleModels Understandable lol, I have the same problem with the FT-17, and gluing all hatches closed seems like a waste...
@@NightShiftScaleModels Hmm, integrate the A7V into the diorama like a building aka as a cut-off corner piece with full interior and everything? Knowing your approach to scary new techniques is to tackle them head on this might be the best way to approach the interior of it ^^
I begin to think that WW1 tanks could work really well as part of the terrain of a diorama in general.
I can't watch the videos on Fridays because of work and in the evening I go play music with mah friends! So, I watch them like Saturday morning cartoons with a coffee when I get up the next day.
BTW, the thumbnail made me think about a tank in desert camo stuck in a winterscape!!
Nice change of subject for you uncle. I can almost feel the mud coming!
I haven't even got past pre-roll ads and I already know this is gonna be f*ckin epic!
I love your channel! I just discovered it and am hooked! I have learned so many new techniques for painting and weathering. I am so impressed by the quality and detail level of your models and dioramas. Thank you so much for sharing your incredible talent and experience with us!
Nice touch with the runtime of the video, it's not often you can have a matching number like that.
The best armor modeling channel!
Think the planks of wood were carried on top of the tank acrossways. They were put down over boggy ground to give the tracks more grip.
I think I've seen the old one in a modelling magazine back in the day, so glad I can see this one being built "live"
7:00 When night shift cut the model with a hack saw, That killed me emotionally
Will you make a Walk-Around your collection and your workshop?
Would be awesome, but i also understand if its too private!
Keep up the amazing work!
Well done! Your work is fantastic.
love the historical acuracy I saw this model but couldn't find it anywhere!
This is a great idea for a diorama! I cant wait to watch it come to life.
This looks fantastic Martin and its good to see you back at the bench too. Without your video last week I had to build my own models and not just collect them.
Love your videos, always a inspiration
Bravo, amazing dio!.
Love ya uncle night shift!! Love you work too, you make my Fridays enjoyable and i look forward to see what amazing projects you cook up!!
Can’t wait for the next episode!!
Really excited by this, it'll be awesome.
Looking really good and looking forward to the next video. Thank you!!
Best video of yours so far, I cannot wait for the next part
Great video and an unusual subject. Nerve wracking to see you take a hacksaw to a model. Be very interested to see how you tackle the water. Going to look great when it's finished!
I’ve been waiting for you to do a wrecked WWI tank for a long time. This is going to be epic!
This is gonna be awesome to watch and I look forward to the next video. Love your work!
Ah here goes my weekly dose of mah friends! Martin, could you please send a link on where to buy this new putty you did the groundwork with?
Ooooh that was hard to watch, but it is going to be amazing in the end. Thanks for another awesome video my friend!
I’m kinda liking where this channel is headed, last model might be our last “traditional” Night Shift project lads.
Thank you so much for these videos. They're always a highlight to my Friday.
Love it!! I think your skills are really going to shine with this project mate. 👍
If you could go back would you do the same process with cutting the model? Or would you have deepened the terrain so you didn’t have to cut it?
I absolutely love this model!
Now build an upside down mark 4 with the other half! 😂
I think that when a machine gun was dismounted the ball mount would have been left in situ.
What about you BUILDING the RFM challenger 2 TES
Gooood job!!
real cool
Love it
Hang in there!
😱😱😱😱HHHH NN😱😱😱😱YOU DIDN'T ‼️‼️‼️😭😭😭😭,,,,,,,,,,,,
Okay,,,, I'm Okay,,,, I'm Okay Now,,,, You DID IT ‼️‼️ DANG THAT'S Looking Pretty 1:1 Looking Already Uncle, I'll Definitely Be Watching For Updates On This Series Too !!
P.S. Prayers Going Your Way For Personal Issues To Be Resolved and a More Joyful Future My Friend. God Bless All !!
Wow, nasiel som ta nahodou ale super content!
This is already looking so damn cool! I can't wait to see more :)
😍😍 amazing
why you didnt dig in the foam instead
It's a weird time for loving tanks. Perhaps a slightly different diorama is in order, like one matching that Russian tank driving over that civilian's car with them in it. But, since we're on this kit, I found a way to make rivets on a Masterpiece Models 31" Resin Nautilus by drilling holes and pushing Tamiya modeling putty from inside out into them. Yes, the nautilus already has a million rivets...but....
What happened last week? Did we miss a video?
This is going to be an amazing series!
I've built almost all the 1/35 Tamiya Armour and this is definitely one of the super stars. My rough cutoff for when their design/engineering improved significantly are new tools after 35228 (M8 Greyhound) with the most memorable ones being the FAMO, JSU-152/IS-2, B1 Bis and Type 10. Currently starting the M26 (The front portion of the Dragon Wagon, not Pershing)
I'd love to build the Dragon Wagon as well, just the tractor without a trailer! :)
@@NightShiftScaleModels it appears the m26 was re-released in early 2022, i caught it because it showed up for pre-order on some sites I frequent but I havent actually seen them switch to "in stock". I randomly came across the M26 kit at a store and it doesnt appear to be from a preowned collection and I have no clue where they got it, sorry. Best of luck finding one - i stared at ebay listings for years and never pulled the trigger. If you do get it, I highly recommend getting resin after market wheels at a minimum.
@@NightShiftScaleModels You could always do the 2000 release, which was just the recovery version. Those go for a fair bit cheaper on the market and if you're just doing the prime mover anyway...
I certainly would love to see you take on something that isn't a tank, and a tank transporter would certainly be an appropriate addition to an armor modelers collection
@@Danfunnyman1234 yup thats the M26 (kit 35244)
VERY cool - I appreciate that you prefer doing so different projects: from WW2 to fantasy tanks, back to modern times, WW2, "drawing board" - prototypes to WW1; I love it!
Best Tamiya model .....maybe, but have you built their Char B1 bis? That thing is perfection :)
I’m trying to find one but my local hobby shop says they don’t have any
I guess I’ll try Amazon or eBay?
Good to know. There's one waiting for me in the stash :)
I've seen the kit and it's a true beauty. But this one... it kinda feels like the next step from the Char B :)
Have you ever thought about converting a warhammer 40k tank to look super realistic?
I want this too, mostly to hear his comments on how bizarre everything 40k is. :D
But also for seeing how crazy good it would look. He would have to add details though...
Cool project Martin. WW1 just doesn't get the love it deserves especially in scale modelling. I'm excited to see this is your next project and it'll be very interesting to see how it comes together.
Wait, his name is Martin? Sounds similar to my name...
@@HanSolo__ Correct
Finally a WW1 diorama! Thanks Martin!
This looks so good but I have to ask, why cut it in half when the base was going to be so thick? Wouldn't it have been easier to just cut into the foam and then fill around the edges?
That's what I thought too!
getting the angle right
It’s called not seeing the trees for the wood.
It’s probably because he doesn’t want to use to much resin
Better title i guess
I love it that the video lasts 19:18 minutes xD
So excited to see more of this! I love WW1 scenery and this looks awesome
I have wanted to see something like this for a long time!
And the time has finally come :)
Looks like a great project, and a very interesting composition. I'm looking forward to seeing it progress.
There is like 50 of these just sitting in my local modelling shop, I've been considering buying one
Use water for level.
Spray paint to mark the line.
How much do we love Night Shift? YES!
Flinching because a friend of mine had his Dremel/air compressor power skipped and climbed and slashed his arm it required 82 stitches ( starting from the first knuckle joint before it’s the thumb finger itself and ended 4 inches above the the inner elbow)
considering the height of stand you could just sink that tank in a bath with some melted substance ( I don't know what is it, but they use it to display submarines in underwater position) and then add some snow on top... But you are not the one looking for easy ways ))
Peace for Ukraine! 💙💛
Watching 1917 while filming. Video last 19:17 genius
Awesome start to what will be an amazing diorama. Also, coincidence the video is 19:17 in length....? ;)
I tried the water trick on a project with clothing dye and it did absolutely nothing to the plastic either... It should have stained the plastic but didn't.
Why not use hight of base to have it suck..would have saved a lot of time, and stress to see one being cut up😉
I love that you're jumping into WW1 but man the cherry on top is the fact that this videos duration is 19:17. Chef Kiss/10
What is the material you use for rivet can you please tell us more ?i think this one is one of the most favorite diorama just awesome 👌
I see what you did there with the play time.
If there is a new world war there will be new modelling content?
Curious though, how come you didn't try the method some ship modelers do with the full-hull models where they just cut out the place of the ship and fill up the empty edges, if it was such a pain to cut the piece in half?
That was my thought as well. Still an excellent build though.
With out doubt the best modelling channel on the tube . Love the humer , skill ,coupled with the great filming. Thanks Martin .
Thank you , Uncle Martin .
🐺
This man has the best humor in the modeling world 😂 And wow, such incredible skill!!!
So ... you cut the tank in half so it could be sunk into the diorama, then put it on a base that's deeper than the cut-off part of the tank? Seems like digging a crater in the foam would have been much easier (if not more dramatic) ... you could even backfill with dirt/sand to close up the gap?
What a great diorama and what a lovely idea to do a destroyed tank, perfect in a WW1 setting which I guess is going to show off your considerable weathering techniques to the max. Loving it!❤
omg i need the next one
If I am going to paint the trim on my models I use heavy density grey board or some other names graphics chipboard. It's the same stuff hardback book are made from. And if I want a nice wood look I use cherry or walnuts self adhesive veneer.
Even in this state it looks fantastic! What a great composition that just inspires me, at least, to try something different.👏👏👍😉
The fact that the video is 19:17 minutes long
Very nice diorama idea, looking very forward to the finished thing! Just one question though: Is there a good reason for cuting away half the model, instead of cutting away a fitting cavity in the styropore base?
I wanted to ask the same question.
Like your Post and your Work. If you are interested in a GIGANTIC DIORAMA CHALLENGE; may I humbly suggest you do a TH-cam SEARCH for the ARTHUR KILL SHIP GRAVEYARD ( NY/NJ ). Lots and lots of interesting things therein.
You are Brave . Y wouldnt cut the tank. Usualy for job i make the hole. On the base, but i am experience as you
AWESOME Martin! Your first WW1 tank looks great! The weathering and "beating up" of the vehicle is so eye-catching. I look forward to this diorama. And you have inspired me to buy one these new Tamiya releases with the infantry figures included.
Love those track links. Pity their other individual track links, suck (1/48 M1A Abrams links). Bravo!
It's looking very promising! I'm looking forward to the rest of this build. Take care, Mah Friend!
Good evening Modelcomrade. The start for the Diorama Looks very intresting.. I hope to see soon the painting and the Final..
But a Little pain in my eyes🤣🤣🤣🤗🤗🤗when i see the saw at the Model 😃but the psition on the diaroma in the mud.. You dont use the komplet model.
Have a nice weekend. Greets from Christian
Emhar make similar tank kits, both machine gun and cannon variants, and the Whippet mortar carrier variant, too, along with the huge German WW1 tank (I forget the name of it). they don't have the figures, but are well worth checking out, as I bought and built the entire set almost 30 years ago, and they're still available, as far as I know :-) Granted, Tamiya make truly beautiful kits, but they can be expensive for many model makers pockets, as I found out while working in a model shop in the 1990's, so other companies started making similar kits but much cheaper. Tamiya also started bringing out brass etch after market parts for their kits, too, which made them even more in demand :-)
Hello I really love your videos, keep it up! I want to start the hobby but i have no idea what I need, like I know but what are the ESSENCIALS? What do I need fist? What should i do first? Etc etc. I was wondering cuold you please somehow show us your lab, wha u use and maybe make a little guide for begginers? I wuold definetly appreciate it!
Hi Uncle Nightshift. Do you have a homemade mixture snow that you could share please? I'm more of a figure painter than armour, but groundwork is groundwork right?Cheers from NZ
And for my next trick, ladies and gentlemen……..! Fucking magician, sawing a tank in half. It’s going to be class. Hope your personal issues are resolved. Keep your chin up. And thank you for the video.
Clearly you weren't happy with the surgery but as you say, the ragged cut is no longer visible.
The illusion that the rest of the tank is still there is remarkably convincing even given the absolute lack of realistic coloration or simulated water at this stage. I think it's the off-level cut that does it.
Looking forward to the finishing stages but I think you've nailed the hardest part of this diorama, a believable overall look. I remember when you were "afraid" of dioramas, and here you are doing one with an unusual degree of difficulty, and ever-so-casually including a figure superdetailed with barbed wire.
Any other old phobias you're thinking of conquering? Your viewers appreciate the inspiration.
Uuuuggghhhh! I hate to see you cut up all that beautiful work!
But why not just cut a hole in the dioramas floor/ground and let the tank recess into it. Once the grading and landscape features were added youd never know ......that there WAS the bottom half of the tank in the "mud".....like real life? Lol
Hey Buddy, I hope you aren't in an area that's in danger with everything going on in Ukraine right now. Anyway, LOVE this build. I wonder if you had used a thicker paint/water mixture if that would have worked for the water line? Oh well, you ended up find a good method.
Have you seen Ichiban Painting? He doesn't post anymore but he's really good at making stuff look old and beat up, I think you'd dig it. Anyways this is my first introduction to your channel so I'm glad I came across it. I've got a ton of models I need to set aside some time to complete, got the Tirpitz, a King Tiger and almost every warhammer fantasy army. Got a lot of work ahead of me haha.
Cooking with Uncle NightShift. Todays menu is plastic tank well marinated in acrylic paint water! Finger Licking Good!
Fuel canister in WW1, especially that shape? Im not so sure about that, germany invented them mid 1930s and allies don't use them before WW2.
Would've gave you that model for free... I actually just threw it away the other day.. Untouched to. Got it as a gift I never put it together.. it was just taking up space..Threw it in a goodwill bin
Hi Martin, GREAT job. Again. But why was necessery to cut it in half? You could just drown it, or? And what would you do with the rest? :)
