What an incredible recreation of history, tremendous detailing from the 3D printing, down to the birds, especially the poppies which are very appropriate, and remarkable painting of the ambulance. The painting of the figures so real. I always enjoy your videos, but this is definitely one my favorites as I'm sure all you subscribers might agree Thanks for sharing, Cheers from the colonies.
That sir was a absolutely outstanding build and paint and weathering finish, the base really addec to the effect of the scene, congratulations on a job very well done, best regards from a Kiwi living in Australia 👌👍👌👍👌👍
Interesting kit and very good build and diorama concept. Maybe some more dirt, especialy on the wehicle, wold be a good idea? Great video I`ve watched with pleasure. Congrats.
Been waiting on this one!! I love anything WW1!!👍🏻👍🏻 When painting the faces, the ones that didnt blend, just go back over with a glaze of the base coat, this will tone it down and blend the colour variation underneath 👍🏻👍🏻 also try giving the figures a light dry brush at the end and a coat of vms matt will blend it all together and completely change the look. Great job tho, im currently working on a british ww1 mark.1 tank, im going to recreate the display from bovington of that very tank.
Some Great Tips for Figures. Thank you. I am never happy with my Attempts, and if you think your work look Average. You need to see some of mine. And after you recover from Laughing. You won't be so hard on yourself. Love the fact you can 3D print yours, that is just Brilliant..! Your Right there are very few Injured Troop kits about..! The Bus is Just Amazing. It looks like you could just Hobble on in..! Impressive work Sir..! All Round Impressive. Thanks for Sharing some great tips..! Cheers All. Kim in Oz. 😎
Thanks Kim - much appreciated. 3D printing figures really is great and I have another source of very high quality figures that I will be printing soon :)
You mentioned Night Shift’s skill at painting figures. If you go back in his catalog about a year and a half or so, when he finally broke down and decided to try doing figures, you’ll find him being far less confident in his ability and far more critical of his results than you. But like you he didn’t quit despite nearly none of his armor painting skills being applicable to figures. Hence considering your current casual facility at painting… let’s say inorganic subjects, I see no reason you won’t be progressively happier with your results as time passes. I don’t know if it matters to you, but the best figure I ever painted was the pilot figure for the early 1980s X-Wing. All I had to work with was Testor’s enamels, meaning I had to mix up shades as I went along, coincidentally using a wet on wet technique for the face and hands. By today’s modeling standards it was the equivalent of a third grader’s crayon drawing but if I had not quit modeling at that time I have no doubt that the incredible range of products available today would drastically improve my results too. I like the diorama for its “island of quiet” feeling. No one is at combat alert, shells aren’t falling and the enemy is clearly well out of sight. Only thing that trips me up is, how are they going to get those stretchers on the bus? I suppose making the diorama big enough for both the bus and ambulance would have been a bit much though.
Thanks Mark. Yes, you're completely right. I've followed Night Shift since almost the beginning and it is all about learning. Re the stretchers - I think the issue is partly scale - the bus interior is slightly small and the stretchers are definitely a bit over scale. But I also left the one stretcher on the ground to suggest maybe casualties were being collected here ready for another vehicle :)
He has wandered off while the ambulance loads up :) I did consider putting one of the figures from the top deck (the one without obvious wounds) as the driver, but decided against it.
Wow, what a masterpiece! 🏆🏅🥇 I hope that you enter it in several contests, as it will surely win a lot of awards. Edit: you have a great voice for narration, you should check into doing some audiobook work.
Hi Stu, Great work and the detail is superb. The figures add quite a story. Very evocative. It looks like the whole thing could use a dusting no?. Thanks for a fine image. Mikey V.
Very impressive. The figures came out nice too.
Thanks. Yes, I'm hoping to print more figures in the near future.
With your skills you need more detailed figures.
Fantastic job!
Thanks!
Hello my dear friend!
Great creation for the pleasure of my eyes!
So particular and interesting.
Don't forget about me.
I'm your new fan.
Ciao.😊

EXCELLENT job 👍
Thank you
Great build you can almost see them coming a life
Thanks
Don't see too many WW1 dioramas, and this is a very interesting one indeed, great work!
Thank you. Yes, I find WW1 subjects really interesting.
@ModelNerd so do I, although my last was a bit morbid, a mk4 on the battlefield but with skeletal remains visible
Another good looking model buuuut where is the driver?? It looks like a real situation 😳, the birds are a nice feature.
He has wandered off while the ambulance loads up :) I did consider putting one of the figures from the top deck (the one without obvious wounds) as the driver, but decided against it.
I bet the clippy is taking a leak somewhere, too 😊
Well done
Thanks James
Wow, what a masterpiece!
🏆🏅🥇
I hope that you enter it in several contests, as it will surely win a lot of awards.
Edit: you have a great voice for narration, you should check into doing some audiobook work.
Thank you mate. I've never entered anything in a competition before! :)
Great job. I really enjoyed the unique kit. I also enjoyed you demonstrating the "glazing" technique! As always, thank you for everything you do.
Thank you - I really appreciate your support
Wow that is stunning, don’t see to many WW1 Dioramas but you have absolutely nailed this one 👍🏻👋🏻👋🏻
Thanks Mark

Thank you mate
Top drawer mate,nice one😉👍
Thanks mate!
Excellent work, MN!
Thank you my friend!
Nice work. Nice video
Thank you mate
The overall effect is amazing. Interesting subject and a wonderful Miniart kit to boot.
Thanks! Yes, the Miniart kit was great.
Hi Stu, Great work and the detail is superb. The figures add quite a story. Very evocative. It looks like the whole thing could use a dusting no?. Thanks for a fine image. Mikey V.
Thanks Mikey. Do you mean it needs a dust coat or it is covered in dust and I need to clean it? :)
