I say diorama! It is FUN to do them, and they are as time consuming as you want them to be. For example creating a building (or a ruin, or a wall) out of matches, toothpicks, sticks, whatever you can find lying around. It can be a nice experience. You can flex your creativity, your fantasy, and best, you can broaden your knowledge about things.
Once I helped a friend to build a diorama. He wanted a blasted apart building. So I spent time creating the building, I even created some brittle glass-like stuff, out of a glue I think, can't remember, but it broke like glass, and was as thin as a 1:72 model would need to be. Made the windows, the doors, piping, all the good stuff, even some furniture. Painted it to look pristine. The base was a mix of earth, pebbles, and white cement plus some paint so it would look like proper earth. However I left a hole in the middle of the house for the FIRECRACKER!
The result was quite authentic damage, and it needed very little clean up, surface fixing, and painting. It was kinda dangerous, but FUN! :D We were young! :) Also I can say I blown up a house, even if a small one.
I imagine an interesting diorama would be a tank factory. However no weathering would be needed, so it would be more about the space, partial assemblies, racks, overhead stuff, workers, etc.
Who woulda thought that dirt and grime can be so stunningly beautiful... big Kudos to you, as always!
Hi Uncle Nightshift! Just a suggestion, but it really helps me out as a modeler when I can see the source photographs you mention that helped you in your build. I really like seeing the pictures that you often reference along the way.
I think that approach may entail copyright issues.
I don’t look forward to any of my other subs as much I enjoy and look forward to Friday’s when I get chill watching you create suck awesome “layered” effects. Thank you and I hope you and you channel become everything you want it to be.
Uncle Nightshift, make a yugoslav tank, i dare you
I made 2 in the past, another one is a must!
Night Shift im making a M36 Jackson, cant wait to find out which one you'll make!
Hopeless Gaming he’s already made a yugo m36 it’s on his Instagram
@@NightShiftScaleModels M84!
Yeah but I have noticed on all the tanks with mud you never put any muddy footprints on them from the crew climbing up and down. If the stepping points and the ground is muddy, there are bound to be boot prints or at least the tip points of the boots as they transferred from the ground and step points up to around the hatches, and around the bundling areas on the rear deck.
There are two types of water, mud transfers on tanks: the splashing of a puddle or river crossing up across the wheels and glacis, and deep rut mud, that comes up and squished through the track and road wheels like toothpaste. If you reach a certain speed, the tracks will begin to clean themselves by throwing the mud off to both sides. The Fury mud scheme seems to suggest it went across light hardball or unimproved road with pothole mud, then washed through several smaller puddles to take some of it off. Then it almost drove clean.
When you pick up dust it sticks as a coat, and when the gun is fired, all the dust lifts up, and so it leaves dust under protected over-surfaces and at 90 degree turns in the hull metal.
Just my two cents from driving around at Fort Knox. It also seems like if the cement wasn't reinforced, it would crack along the back sides and hang there on the rebar underneath, or be thrown off.
Me: hmm looks amazing! Are u done?
Uncle night shift: um I think I'll add some more layers
Love the tarp!!!
Looks amazing as always. The concrete is superb. Now to have it along side some Bocage?
I constantly forget that you post every Friday... It's always a very nice surprise tho
Edit: just finished watching the video! I'm very interested to see the diorama!
I'm not convinced there would be bare steel on the barrel from the recoil, to that degree anyway. These old black and white reference images can be deceiving as well, I always wait til I've found several photos to confirm that something was in fact present on a vehicle.
But then again the recoil wear does look badass so there is that.
Can you do the Tamiya M41 Walker Bulldog? I would love to see more Korea Vietnam era vehicles.
Ohhh where is 50°cal? But this is perfect model.
Hello uncle :D
I have a few thinner/varnish questions. Is there a difference between laquer and enamel thinner? What varnish do you use that these thinners dont effect? I've used laquer thinner on the oil paints and it stripped everything down to the plastic.
Any tips for modern tanks?
If I messed up a plastic model kit when I was a kid. Is there any way to repair it?
Nice
Is it illegal if I watch this vid again on my day shift tomorrow?
How bout an urban setting for the model? Like an entrance to a town street
5/1 RAAC please :D
Nightshift I've liked too many comments, you can rest now
DAK panzer iii when?
Would you consider putting figures into the diorama?? Like volksturm
🖤🖤
I dare you to build a warship, a little something out of your comfort zone.
no! the stress is bad enough watching Ebroin's insane miniature work..
the very rusty submarine option from the 100k video might scratch that itch!
Model Brand? *Revell*
it has to be the Bismarck, Iowa, or Yamato.
Yes
the sun is out, and a new Night Shift vid. Gonna be a great Friday
Night Shift makes me look forward to any Friday, his videos are always a little treat
left off the human component like muddy boot prints
it's been another great build can't wait to see what's next.
I was watching a completely different video on a completely different channel and saw this pop up in my notifications, never have I clicked a notification faster
Edit: also do a Halftrack
Half track would be sick
I'd love to see one done without the concrete painted, and just some nicks and chips taken out of it, to make it look like it was a rushed job put straight into battle, I think that would look really interesting...
Can you make tamiya T34/76 1:48 ? It would be nice to see a legendary tank built by legendary modeler😂
Hey Night Shift, could you make a Swedish tank?
Been waiting all week! I love your vids keep up the amazing work!
Martin, you seem to have such boundless enthusiasm for modeling, do you ever find your enthusiasm waning or get fed up? I love modeling but I go long periods where I just can't be bothered actually sitting down and doing some work.
Having mild depression doesn't help but also other hobbies get in the way and I get put off by safety concerns.
But nothing gives me such a sense of satisfaction and wellbeing as having a model on the go that I'm really pleased with. I really miss it.
Maybe add a .50 caliber M2 Browning Machine Gun in the future???
Can you make a video about weathering vinyl tracks ? Would be very nice!
Would you ever think of building a gunpla and make a "real" weathering like this on it?
Now, I'm no expert on these things and I may be wrong, but to me it seems that the oil wouldn't spill quite the way you painted it. In the picture of the real sherman you showed, the tank doesn't have concrete armour, so the oil flows directly down the sides of the tank. On your model, the concrete "shelf" is slanted away from the tank and backwards,so the oil wouldn't flow straight downwards, but adopt a sort of diagonal path (on the sides it would still flow straight downwards, it's just on the top that I think it would be diagonal). I hope you understand what I was trying to say, it would be a lot easier to explain with a picture.
If it is a "mistake", it's certainly not a big one, the model looks great and you did a really good job, I can't wait to see the diorama and the next model
That is what I was thinking! ;)
"from some tank festival."
DO YOU MEAN TANKFEST???
Fst like
This is really amazing, but I didn’t see you put any chipping on the antenna
Great work as always!
You have helped me with my modeling, I'm still new to the hobby and have only made 3 models so far. A panther ausf d, a b-25j, and a stuka ju 87.
Painting episode be a thing
Me:
This olive drab looks way too light, no way this model will turn out looking right
Model be finished
Me:
Oh,
Okay,
I accept,
its gorgeous.
I wish I had more color photos of Shermans in the field from WW2.
Try using acupuncture needles for antennas. They are ideal for that.
guitar strings are awesome for 1/35
ferst
yey!
@@NightShiftScaleModels thnaks you unkel
Night Shift: and now we add our 200th layer of mud texture
I think a pretty cool idea would be to make a tank museum for your models, I think that would be pretty interesting :)
i would like to se the diorama with troops , love your videos
Day 1 of trying to get noticed by night shift
Built a german tank painted with brushes and non modelism acrylics
So good!
-one minor thing though: I think if I had made this I would be tempted to add mud splashes up along the skirts/side of the hull. If you drive any vehicle fast over mud it usually ends up everywhere? (I'm thinking of quads and 4x4's).
The Warhammer equivalent of your mud trick for accidental gaps is "give that trooper a medal!" Pretty much every Imperial kit comes with wax-sealed scroll/ribbons called purity seals that are great for filling awkward gaps
I love you
It's nice work as usual. This Easy 8 series are very impressive video of painting for me . Thanks for uploading.
A good yt channel for making dioramas is Luke Towan. Check him out! Love the content
I can always write the same thing... what an AMAZING work! I'm glad to hear that You build a base for this tank! You should try figures sometime... :D
Uncle Nightshift I dare you to build a Modelcollect 1/72 T-64A, it's a legendary Soviet main battle tank that paved the way for the T-72, T-80, and the T-90
Uncle, uncle, uncle, uncle!!! -Jackie Chan, Rumble in the Bronx 1995
Now I see why Jackie was so excited, good content(as always of course).
Nice Mr Night Shift
I would like to suggest a future video based on how do you finish the bottom part of your tanks. I mean... what to simulate? Mud (how it would behave in real vehicles), rust, oil spots, etc. It will be greatly appreciated!
I'd be interested to see how you approach a factory fresh (or recently cleaned) tank
A good idea but I imagine it might be a bit bland
I would REALLY want to see you build and M26 Pershing or super Pershing my friend. Please consider it. Thanks.
Damn i wish i had a fifteenth of your skill......I put a Sturngeschutz 3 Ausf.G together bare bones no paint or anything and was happy.... seeing your work makes mine look like crap XD....then again... I really don't have the funds to properly paint or texture models...
Just to ask again, can you do the Tiger II in 1/35 from Revell/Zvezda, I have the model and have no idea to start with it. :) also, the M4A2E8 looks really nice
Hello, I'm Austin and I really enjoy the videos. They are both enjoyable and educational. I have a question though. I recently got my first armor model, a Russian T-62, and I was wondering if you had any ideas or techniques that could help me make it beautiful. I want to make it look really nice but I'm not very knowledgeable in armor modeling, (I'm a ship and wargaming modeler mostly) I'm decent enough at painting so I'm mainly looking for pointers on the construction and armor texture, the model is in 1:35 if that helps, I'm not to good at using reference photos to find textures because I don't know what I'm looking for but any help is welcome, thank you! Keep up the good work, I love the videos.
The progec is olmost done ?
Very nice model as usual, but I even like the process better ... you did a great job describing the process and your experiments !!
Just for the record, ww2 US vehicle had segmented antenas and they were painted with OD paint ... but that's just a detail.
Awesome job Uncle Night Shift!
What about an armour vehicle with complete interior? Or maybe an half track with open top?
Gundam? I would love to see your weathering skills applied to Gunpla!
I bought a big, stompy robot figure for that exact purpose. But my skills don't quite match my ambition...
Thank you as always for the awesome videos. You have no idea how much it helps me with the techniques you use to make my models look much better.
I would have one request: If possible, could you put in 2 pictures side by side, what each step changed? In this video I can not really see a change between some of your "layers" ;-) So for me a lot of your steps seems unnecessary (which I'm sure they aren't, I just can not see the changes)...
I know you hate revell but I suggest some of revell's sail ship models such as the Vasa, HMS Victory and The Black Pearl.
Speaking of ships. How about merit Soviet torpedo boat the G5? Weathering, not that many parts, definitely a platform for experiments.
I've been waiting, love your videos! :)
Looks amazing. But wouldn’t the inner of the tracks not get polished because of the rubber wheels?
Another great build Martin!!! at the beggining when you start painting the tracks it looks rare but then after it look amazing !!
If you ever do another appropriate tank, can you maybe do some with heavy battle damage? Near penetrations, splintered Armor or a German vehicle with Skirts partially missing or penetrated by heat rounds with burn effects on the hull?
To the people in the comments section, is there any way to remove concrete superglue, I was building a airfix B17 and I was up to the point where you connect both sides of the fuselage and when I tried it ended up with a massive gap, like 6mm down the whole fuselage.
Any help would be really appreciated because I spent a lot of money on the set with the paints, thanks
日本では転売ヤーとか言う怪しい人間が居るのでネットで買うよりも直接ショップで買う方がややお安く買えますよ❗
I think its taught me that "less is more" when it comes to mud effects, great lesson, expertly presented!😀
Beautiful build! Even if some italian tanks are terrible, do you think you'll make one in the future?
Maybe the diorama could be lone tank stuck on a crossroads in Germany after loosing a track to a mine and an entire SS regiment is approaching and.......... no hang on, that sounds terrible, maybe just under a tree with the crew playing baseball in the foreground.
I've not only got to the end of each video of.the Sherman build I've used your paint mix for my full interior RFM build! I sat tonight put them on and airbrushed mine along with it! Still got all the weathering to do but got all the pre shading and highlights done and the main base coat of olive drab and dunkelgelb dark I have a German dunkelgelb set and a US olive drab set but I really liked the lighter khaki tones here
Unbelievable results. So satisfying to watch. Do you stick to military models or do you also try things like race cars?
I watch this channel just for the BLENDING . Master BLENDER
Fun fact about concrete tanks
Sometimes the tank crew would fill sandbags with concrete and place them on front but all types of concrete tanks were disliked by high ranking officers because the weight on the tank meant the needed more fuel
Hm,that fuel spill should go down toward the back, not to the side of the concrete,because gravity. Other than that I like it
You forgot to put on a 50 caliber machine gun on top is really important and during that time. The reason why To prevent further attack from a German dive bomber
Speaking of Gundam! Would you ever do a Sci-Fi Vehicle/Mech?
"Well, isn't it beautifull ??"
*Spit my coke by my nose* :D :D :D
When I see work like this I want to jump off a bridge as I really want to have results like this, I really don't know how people do this weathering is much harder than a beautiful polished finish on a car
Hi Daddy night shift!
Super detail a Warhammer 40k leman Russ. I'm about to do 11 for an army.
Amazing work night shift you should show us how to do mud build up on Russian MBTs like a T80
U should do a famous tank like the super Pershing or maybe the thunderbolt 7, just a iconic tank I wanna see your take on something like that lol
How do you store or present your models? After putting so much work into them, it would be shame to get dust or finger marks on them.
I thought that ring on the barrel where you made the recoil distressing was just white paint, did Tamiya just get it completely wrong recommending you paint a stripe there?
