    To me, the weekly show formula is better than waiting weeks to a big video.
    This one was another masterclass by the way.

    • @kaferrat
      @kaferrat ปีที่แล้ว +6

      I agree. I would rather have shorter weekly content than a long video every 2-3 weeks. I personally just don't care for the really long videos. I usually end up skipping through the slower parts of a build.

    @RotnDot ปีที่แล้ว +350

    I like the variation of subjects you've got going on right now. I like the multi-episode tank-specific builds, but I love the sprinkling of "one-offs" like this one in between, just to showcase some techniques or even do stuff that wouldn't easily fit in with armoured models.

  • @zemerarts
    @zemerarts ปีที่แล้ว +140

    The weekly formula is great. More smaller passion projects like this are so welcomed

  • @thephilifluffy1838
    @thephilifluffy1838 ปีที่แล้ว +40

    I definitely prefer these newer "full length" videos. And I also really like the idea of you doing more types of vehicles, not just tanks!

  • @jacobakana5649
    @jacobakana5649 ปีที่แล้ว +51

    The streaking on the sides of this looks amazing, it compliments the chips nicely! I also think that this is some of the best plant life that you have ever made, it looks just like the Forrest near my house!
    I quite like these different videos, as it shows a wide range of applications for your techniques. I can certainly agree that it is satisfying to have one video to cover an entire project, I think that you should do what you think is best. A happy and comfortable modeler can produce the best work, so if you need to step away from an upload schedule sometimes, it would be okay. Keep up the great work!

  • @tpaul802

    For me one complete video is preferred, unless it has a complex diorama. Then its one for the subject and one for the diorama. Again, a matter of complexity.
    If it is a tutorial type, make a series, break it down per subject/objective. (Short videos into a playlist)
    Importantly, do what you enjoy most. Take as much time as you need. I am here for the QUALITY RESULTS you have put out over the years. Don’t really care about the frequency. Of course, more videos the better 😋 Keep em coming!

  • @Gattobuono
    @Gattobuono ปีที่แล้ว +15

    I love the end product, and the format in terms of time and detail was perfect for me.

    A tiny side note for future reference, the first thing to rust away on abandoned cars is usually the floor.

    Martin: your videos never fail to make me smile - but when the big brush came out at 17:45 that produced a proper laugh! Thank you, for your skills, your teaching and your humility.
    PS. Your garden must be just a crater now, as you've taken all the soil, dust, leaves and twigs for dioramas!

  • @flyingscotsman9657
    @flyingscotsman9657 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I prefer a video every week as it feels like I'm getting more content even if I'm actually not. I also like these smaller projects as they seem more achievable for me replicate as I don't have room to store large dioramas and build models to the limit that my pocket money stretches

  • @marlonharris7230
    @marlonharris7230 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    Small tip. When I add the isopropyl alcohol to seal the dirt I put it in a small spray bottle so I can cover the whole diorama in a couple sprays. But as usual you’ve created a masterpiece!

    You are the Bob Ross of armor modelers with less happy accidents, your videos are strangely soothing I never miss one. Make a tutorial on the finish of your studio wall, it looks like you applied some armor techniques in there😁

  • @h.a.9880
    @h.a.9880 ปีที่แล้ว +16

    I really enjoyed this video as a change of pace. For one thing, it's nice having one self-contained video every now and then, but it's also nice to have something radically different. I'd actually like to see you do a plane or helicopter model tbh.
    The projects that end up with several videos are nice to get a more detailled look at your work process and how to get certain effects, but a short, sweet video that gives you payoff in one go is nice when one craves a bite-sized Night Shift video.

    I really like the post-apocalyptic look. I would love to see other ruin scenes, perhaps a WWII tank wreck scene set in 1946 - 48 after nature has taken over. The idea of a civilian poking around the wreck would be exciting as well.

  • @SgtWayneNilesLSA
    @SgtWayneNilesLSA ปีที่แล้ว

    I think that you should create video's that you want Martin. This new format is a great idea, but the past history has been very successful also. I honestly think that it's your building/painting/ presentation that is the attraction. As an armour builder myself, I love the subject change, and this was very helpful as a learning tool.

  • @JayEllis76
    @JayEllis76 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    I love this style, im a big nerd for rotting abandoned vehicles! A subtle thing that would be very cool, is to have a figure with tools working on it, either to salvage parts from it or to getting it back to the road again

  • @rafaelvoncina6036
    @rafaelvoncina6036 ปีที่แล้ว

    Loved how you achieved volume with moss by layering the foam AND the paint, it makes it pop.
    Also, adding 'mistery plants' was a very clever way to introduce some crisp verticals into the composition. Good eye!
    You could go for full feature videos instead of episodical. However, using time stamps (or chapters) would then be in order for all those who are into the "I don't have the time" hype.
    I'm glad you went for a non-weapon this time, too.

    Well since I had a 1965 beetle gifted to me by my father about a month, I'm into modeling and wargames, and TH-cam's algorithm based on phone searches allowed this video to pop up today. I liked it and I'm definitely going to share this with some fellow VW and VW Beetle enthusiast.

  • @truelazerlight
    @truelazerlight ปีที่แล้ว

    Personally I like channels that post less frequently but have long polished videos. It's just such a nice surprise when one of my favourite channels finally posts a video after a while and a longer video of a finished project is just a nicer watch than what feels like a bunch of truncated clips. Also, personally I have enough going on in my life that I don't need constant entertainment from TH-cam and I'd rather take the time to watch longer stuff.

  • @randomberk
    @randomberk ปีที่แล้ว

    Weekly is better for me, rather than waiting for weeks between videos. I don't mind whether it is full build or broken up. I like variety though, so I think modelling other subjects that interest you is the best, rather than just armour.

  • @DavidSmith-ss1cg
    @DavidSmith-ss1cg ปีที่แล้ว

    WOW ! What a GREAT job ! I have to admit that I've owned several VW Beetles in my life(I'm 67) - and one of 'em was an off-white(almost yellow) one with LOTS of rust. I remember watching the VW slowly become popular during the 1960s and it never seemed to change; they just slowly, incrementally improved. I also loved the German concept of a utilitarian "People's Car."
    One of my favorite VWs was one that I owned in Germany, when I was stationed there with the US Army. It was very light yellow, like the one in your video, and the doors were red-oxide primer, with softball-sized light-grey primer dots where the trim clips had been, so it was named "Spot." They're STILL one of my favorites.

  • @thetacticaldeer2792
    @thetacticaldeer2792 ปีที่แล้ว

    I was surprised to see you building something that’s not a tank, let alone a civilian car! As always, it turned out incredible. I have an idea for you too… A German train from WWII hauling tanks that was blown up, maybe on a bridge. The diorama would include broken train tracks / a broken bridge, a train car, and some tanks rotting away in the bottom of a ditch / ravine. An extra addition could be civilians visiting the wreck about 20 years later, and having a 1960s truck that the civilians drove to the wreck site. Of course this is a idea of mine and your free to build as you please.

    I'd rather watch a few episodes on each model, because I believe it can be more specific and viewers may learn more from them. I personally use your video as a kind of a guidebook and it really helps me when your videos are divided, due to the fact that I don't have to skim through one long episode, but rather watch one specific episode. You are doing a great job, keep doing that, and I'm looking forward to watching your next video.
