Build & Paint: Miniature Wooden Road Signs
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 17 ก.ย. 2020
- My friends, tonight we're going to scratchbuild and paint some very simple, but effective diorama accessories - wooden road signs. We're not going to need much - just a couple of plastic oil drums, some styrene sheets, a wire, pewter foil and a bunch of rocks!

Ah, my favorite “professional”👌 scale modeler has arrived👍
I think Martin is a literal professional scale modeler... He makes like 30k a year on patreon
This is a great idea for wargaming scatter terrain as well. great video as Always Martin!
That one person that disliked just doesn’t like road signs
5 lamers now
Maybe hit their head one, been there but love the video!
6 of them are just envious of his skill.
Could be a form of Amaxophobia.
Ah, something not tank related! 😂🍷
I really wonder who are the 9 viwers who pressed dislike on this fantastic job. And what they can do in modelling. (Probably Nothing) My Greatest respect to the Master Nighy Shift and zillions of thnx for sharing his techniques.
Something I'm just looking at for a diorama as it happens; these are beautifully done "my friend".😊
Ooooo a video of storage and signs!!! That's a good tutorial for everyone to learn. Thanks!
you dont owe us thank you's, we owe you thank yous. so thank you
The king has posted
OUTSTANDING! Variety is the spice of life............
I very like the preweathered signs from RT-Diorama, in general a very nice brand for Dioramas and Accessories
true :) I got a few buildings from them about a year ago very nice detail and great prices
Haha 😅 Thank you, sadly we (at the moment) just make stuff for 1:35 scale; and Martin again did an awesome job on this one!👍👍👍
@@rt-diorama5657 I think you would get good sales in Europe expanding to 1/72 scale. Not just modelers, but also wargamers.
@@rt-diorama5657 Yeah im into wargaming and i would totally buy them in 1/72 scale
Hey man! You have a GREAT calligraphy! To me that's hard to achieve even with a pen or pencil, not to say with a brush. An excellent build just as the others you make.
Great video makes a change from the boring Tiger, Panther tanks etc. just proves you can do anything related and push the boundary for a change!
Imagine building the one and only... The Tonk!
Edit after watching video: Great video as always
Just painted today a wooden roadsign for my Red Army Matilda vignette.
A tip for watered down PVA add a couple of drops of dishwashing liquid
It will reduce the surface tension
More diorama stuff please!!!
Damn, you're so good with a brush ! (painting the letters on those signs) Wish my hand was that steady. Good point, too, on how various components of dioramas can become elaborate models in their own right. Thanks
Uncle, we love your work... Cheers from Indonesia :D
Little drop off dish soap in the watered down PVA will get rid of the surface tension and it will flow more easily. That's what I'm using for my terrain builds.
Make a dropper bottle of alcohol and put a drops down first. Then put the diluted glue, it will flow like a dream. Alternately you could put the diluted glue in a dropper and add a drop of dish soap or flow aid. Personally I like the alcohol method.
A nice change of pace. Some really nice tips as usual.
those signs are superb... and lots of tips to take elsewhere in my model building....
Night Shift keeps doing these accessories, he'll upgrade soon from scenic bases to full-blown dioramas! Good job on these pieces, they are pretty good!
This goes to all modellers! Could anyone recommend some cool subject to me? I am thinking about making a diorama when the exam period starts and I have more free time from uni. (I hate Jungle scenes, too much vegetation, too hard to do with any realism. I love the desert though!)
They look insane! Well done mate
Freaking Awesome Work Brother, God Bless All.
A drop of dishwash soap in the diluted glue will kill the surface tension and make it flow better into the scenic materials whether they're stones or ground foam!!
The lettering is really good
I want to find those military miniatures super bad!
Awesoma as always. Great video.
Apologies if someone has mentioned it, but add a drop of washing up liquid to the diluted PVA glue which breaks the surface tension. An old railway modeller trick.
I love the idea off models scenic builds.
Very useful video! Greetings from Uruguay
Layer upon layer upon layer. A joy to watch. Oh and hand painting those letters is simply staggering
Awesome. These are fantastic. My wargamer head is overloading with a need to make some in 28mm scale.
Fun part would be trying to make hive city signs for 40k. Mostly because we really don't know what those would look like aside from Imperial posters and warning signs thus giving alot of creative freedom imho.
Thank you , Uncle Martin .
You’re badass in handpainting😮
Always a good day when night shift posts
I liked this one. More please.
Add a little bit of thinner to the rocks or any diorama surface with a brush or spray to break the surface tension of the diluted pva glue!
Picasso would be jealous 👍
Cool as heck mate love it! You should make some diorama stuff to purchase like miniart do! Yours is 100% cooler man! Or just have some availability for your fans! I'd love stuff as good as this to get inspiration!
Great video. Full of useful tips as always! Love the attention to detail, even on a road sign.
More videos like this would be awesome :D
Nice work, loving the video! A trick I learned from my father (who was a railway modeller) is to add a little dish soap or IPA when watering down PVA for fixing rocks, sand, flock etc. It doesn't affect how the glue sticks, but it breaks down the surface tension so it flows much better.
I would love to see you turn these techniques to a sci-fi armour model like a space marine tank from Warhammer 40k. Would be really interesting to see these realistic textures and meticulous attention to detail applied to that style of model kit
Welp, what else do I do for my Friday? This is pretty much my highlight. Great signage. It’s pretty incredible what you can do. Good stuff as always!!
Honestly, I loved this compared to the normal content. While the tank videos and tutorials are always fun, I *love* seeing something scenery based!
These little guys definitely deserved their own video so I am very glad you were able to do that for them. 😁
Me: Spending half the afternoon cutting thick styrene by doing multiple passes with a hobby blade.
One minute in to this video: You actually should have used a scribing tool..
Great job sir it's pleasur to see your job. 😉
Those turned out awesome. 👍
amigo great hand writing, love this video is great, Thank you

Tony
Awesome as always!
Oh yeah, new video, good as always!
Loved this tutorial! Great job.
Amazing!!!! Thank you
I think you should try some modern dio for the future, modelling concrete weathering and tanks in modern cities ( can also be small form factor )
Absolutely excellent!
Awesome!
Fantastic job!
Perfect as usual! Thanks!
Yes definately make this a feature!
Great ideas!
Awesome work
That was superb.
They look awesome
Brilliant!
And extremely helpful as always :)
Awesome video! Thanks.
That was a very refreshing change.
Excellent!
To decrease the surface tension of your Pva-water-mix you can use some soap or so
Wow, very well done! Thanks.
just perfect ! Skill 11/10 :)
That was a great class! Thanks!
Sooo awesome! I love watching your works of art.
Fantastic video and tutorial!
These are brilliant. Now I want to try it myself!
Nice results.
Brilliant mate 😁👌
Great video, they look so real
Well done!
Really cool little tutorial!
Outstanding job once again, looks superb and so real!
My favourite part of friday has come.
Thanks, sign painting is great for adding detail and often overlooked!
Yes, more of these!
*Simple and efficient, thanks for sharing us this "little" but so nice details for dioramas!*
you are amazing ...thanks for your wonderful videos
I can’t do this due to my tight budget but still, I love your videos, and wish I could do something similar, cheers.
And now, for something different, but the same, lol! I thought this was a nice change, lots of good tips and one of those pieces that adds tons of character to a project! 👍
Really great and unusual ! I loved it
nice work and tutorial martin.
interesting results on the wood parts and those signs are great
amazing!!
