could you do a video on how to add battle damage like bullets and tank shells/ like ricochet and non-penetration in the armor pls and thanks for all the tips
if you want to make the hatch open you can do it easily , drill a hole in the hinges . use a PE saw and cut the hatch hinges from the hull hinges and insert a wire in it to use as axle . you now have more realistic and FUNCTIONING hatches !
You are, by far, the best scale modeling channel here! I really enjoy the content you put out! You inspire me to take my scale models to the next level and actually show me how to take them to the next level! Thank you for all the hard work you put into your videos, I really appreciate it and they help a lot!
Dude, this is the best channel ever made on youtube!!!! always making me laugh and have a awesome content, by the way, I want to see more about that MAUS lmao.
I must say out of all the videos I watched your channel is the best. You describe everything in detail and over and above I love the humor as part of it. Well done! Greetings from South Africa
"I'm from Eastern Europe, we don't have money for such capitalist toys..."! So funny, great videos, excellent techniques, and fantastic modelling mixed with humor = AWESOME CHANNEL! Keep going, looks like Plasmo found some competition.
As always an entertaining education in your skills. And of course the best narration mixed with humour. I've almost stopped watching other channels now because I doubt there's much I could learn from anyone else.
i love your videos dude, im more of gunpla models but yea your vids are simple, detailed explanation and makes me learn new things, also when your making your model you talk straight to the point, no unescessary talks
16:13 get a drill press. I simply cannot overstate how great an addition it is. The experience of using one is so much better compared to drilling holes free-hand. I think Proxxon has a conversion kit for the Micromot. Alternatively, you can always make your own.
I'm a new subscriber and also new to modelling, I'm so glad I found you, you're amazing, I used a lot of your tips and tricks on my recently completed Bismarck which is in a video on my profile. I've learned so much from you, you're great!!
Yooo this isn't a what-if build at all! This is actually how the tank looked in real life... almost :) Also, I've got some photos of that Maus on my Instagram, link is in the description of this video.
I learned just as much... perhaps even more construction techniques, watching this live demo than all the content that Adam Wilder and Mig Jimenez stuff into their books, not to take away from their incredible content, but watching it live with your tips and the reasons "why" behind them... I'm hard pressed to find this level of modeling education anywhere else. Outstanding stuff Martin! Cheers!
Started watching modelling videos 2 days ago. Watched ModelChili Scale Models and PLASMO - plastic models and you are by far the most interesting one! Great explanations, the tutorial videos are a great help for beginners (haven't even bought my first model yet) and the videos are just so easy to watch due to your funny nature! Keep up your great work!
i discovered your channel about 5 hours ago and i have to admit, you're one of the most entertaining model making channles to watch. all the other ones i know are much more serious but you make everything so entertaining. i subscribed and rang the bell in the 1st video i saw from you
just found your channel, you have instantly become one of my favourite channels. can't wait for the painting, actually so excited to see how this will turn out.
Fine molds is re releasing their japanese tanks series with link and length tracks which is a great. So far we have Ho-Ni III (also with full interior), Chi-Nu and Chi-Nu Kai / II. All new releases have updated parts (tracks and intetior) listed on the box front.
Absolutely exceptional. It will look great painted up. I'm very interested in battle damage techniques. Maybe make a tutorial or two about them if you want.
Nice, really nice!. I must be weird because I actually enjoy putting tracks together, even ones that have five pieces per link. I find it therapeutic in some ways.
This is the first video I watched and it was definately entertaining! The 20 minutes flew by and subscribed for future updates. Very nice modelling and excellent filming, Keep up the good work!
For sanding sharp corner i makemy own tools from sheet styrene. A decent strong thickness i then glue sanding paper and bevel the edges inward at the top so it flares out at the sanding part
As soon as you mentioned the tracks i relived the hell i went thought doing them hahaha. That was the only thing stopping me from building a second one now that iv gotten alot more experience. I might do another one... One day... (maybe)
@@NightShiftScaleModels ... instantly supported the piece you wanted for the next cut ...we know .. but we always forget ... we will learn again for next time ....... wont we ? ;D
I really enjoy your videos. Your attention to detail is astounding!
5 ปีที่แล้ว
Our Aunt Carla worked at the Aberdeen Proving Grounds and told us years ago about a "strange Jap tank" and other captured military armor. It was all scrapped in the mid 1950s.
Dude, keep up your work! I love your channel and your videos. Your tanks look awesome! And all those details... man you can be proud of your models! Right now, youre my favourite channel on TH-cam! I really want to see the finished project now... Greetings from Germany!
Fantastic video again, thank you so much. I've got some big scratch building projects planned and I am learning a huge amount from you. Keep up the great work and best of luck to you on TH-cam.
Great videos and awesome channel! I noticed that you use the Tamiya scoring tool for your weld seams. Have you considered using a jeweler’s graver? They are very sharp, cheap, and you can buy them in a variety of cutting angles/widths.
Great video, I look forward to the paint job! Also a cool side project could be to create the tray loading Type 5 gun intended for the tank in its field test mounting.
@@NightShiftScaleModels The Japanese wikipedia gives a detailed account of the tank's gun and prototyping, technically it ran through a few guns and the early Chi Ri used a different turret (the one eventually thrown onto a Chi He hull which became the Chi Nu). The tray loading Type 5 gun prototype was developed, and a photo can be found here: ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E4%BA%94%E5%BC%8F%E4%B8%AD%E6%88%A6%E8%BB%8A#/media/%E3%83%95%E3%82%A1%E3%82%A4%E3%83%AB:Type5_75mm_tank_gun_01.jpg
Night Shift indeed, for the record I’m fairly certain the Chi Ri I design never got fully assembled either, and of course the Type 5 prototype gun was never mounted in the turret either. It’s a pretty interesting loading system however.
Wow... The "tracks" part was actually tiring to watch :,D. Amazing work! Any time I see one of your videos I just realise how bad I am at modelling.... Keep up the good work!
What's the reason for using black super glue instead of clear super glue in certain places? Is it because it's easier to tell where there's glue when you're cleaning it up with debonder?
What a great channel :) You definitely need to show us how you paint your tanks :) I saw your Maus in some Paper panzer magazine. Superb build, I would really like to see more of your builds here on youtube. It is always great to see how you work.
The part covering the huge hole after the missing gun mount isn't steel or fabric; it's wood. In one picture, you can see the cover is simply made from five scraps of wood nailed together to cover the opening.

Okay mates, how many of you expected me to build this big boi as a what-if 46+ vehicle?
could you do a video on how to add battle damage like bullets and tank shells/ like ricochet and non-penetration in the armor pls and thanks for all the tips
Could you build a Chi-Ha and make the 'You Chi-ed your last Ha joke'?
You are the master Mr. Night Shift
if you want to make the hatch open you can do it easily , drill a hole in the hinges . use a PE saw and cut the hatch hinges from the hull hinges and insert a wire in it to use as axle . you now have more realistic and FUNCTIONING hatches !
Excellent video Martin. Not a '46 what if please.
Maybe a '46 waiting for examination by its allied captors or in a storage/scrapyard.
Like Shep Paine said: "a modeller: a mixture of artist, engineer, microbiologist and a Buddhist monk". Great work man !!!
"weighed down with somethig heavy"
puts maus on top of it
T H I C C
なにぃ！？
Right after he said that, TH-cam inserted one of those commercials with heavy women using some kind of slimming panty!
If youre had to make the weight of the Maus in 1:35 Scale, it must weight 5371.43 kilos or 5,371 tonnes... THATS A HEAVY GERMAN BOI
bodek *NANI?*
"But I'm from Eastern Europe, we don't have money for such capitalist tools" okay this sentence killed me xDDDD
I was drinking water when he said that.
I'm luck I didn't choke.
I'm from Eastern Europe too and it's totally true.
@@Lebenspiel Yeah I totaly feel that, I'm from Hungary :D
It wasn't that long ago when I was using hammers and sickles to build my models!
Yes i agree with that. Here in Croatia we make our own made tools a lot
UNESCO considers assembling tracks for model tanks a human rights violation. Needless to say, it's a favored torture method in Guantanamo Bay.
So that's where those pre-assembled tracks on ebay come from!
For a now, your channel is my favorite modeling channel [anymore]. Keep going on. (Please)
Your channel has quickly become my favourite, not just for the quality modelling but also the humour. Keep up the excellent work.

The more I watch these kind of videos the more I think you modelers are crazy. I love it.
Friday lunch break has never been better :)
enjoy mate, I’m having dinner 😁
Panzermeister and Night Shift on the same channel? Sign me up!
Sign me up too :D
love watching your work. you have a lot of patients and great sense of humor

I just got flashbacks on building tiger 1 tracks on the RFM tiger 1
Yes! I wanted you to build this tank.
The surface is amazing, I can't wait for the spare no expense series
16:13 get a drill press. I simply cannot overstate how great an addition it is. The experience of using one is so much better compared to drilling holes free-hand. I think Proxxon has a conversion kit for the Micromot. Alternatively, you can always make your own.
Great vid Night Shift. Loved the "nani" part! Interesting model, the Chi-Ri was an interesting tank for sure.
NANI?! Those tracks are a model in of themselves. Good work as always.
I'm a new subscriber and also new to modelling, I'm so glad I found you, you're amazing, I used a lot of your tips and tricks on my recently completed Bismarck which is in a video on my profile. I've learned so much from you, you're great!!
Another great build sir. I'm not usually into what if builds but that looks really cool. I also love that Maus. Would like to see more photos of it!
Yooo this isn't a what-if build at all! This is actually how the tank looked in real life... almost :)
Also, I've got some photos of that Maus on my Instagram, link is in the description of this video.
Ok. My mistake!! Won't happen again lol
You are awesome! Well done. Fantastic sense of humour!!! A pleasure to watch and listen!
hey Martin, my weekly dose of you......;-) Thanks for sharing, Bloopers are superb this week ;-)
Love it! Looking forward to painting/weathering.
When I think I have a uphill battle doing individual link tracks, I just watch this video, and "POOF' I feel better!!! Thanks for this video!!!!

LOVE THE BLOOPERS THANKS FOR THE TANKS AND YOUR SKILLS .
Someone should pay you just for talking. Your narration is brilliant, funny and entertaining. Modelling, well what should i say. Amazing!
Thanks a lot!
i dont know why this is on my recomended feed, im not even into models
but this is satisfying to watch

Those track steps are worth it! Better than rubber.
I'm so glad I found this channel. Love your work and I love your sense of humor. Can't wait to see you paint and weather this.
major zen moment with the tracks there, can't wait for the next episode. thanks a ton once more for the lovely and informative video!
That looks amazing. I really need to put more effort into the models I build. Thanks for sharing. I can't wait to see what it looks like with paint.

Very nice build and customizing. I'm looking for part two.
7:58 Seeing as the japanese did similar with the O-I prototype, I think this is the right choice.
Absolutely exceptional. It will look great painted up. I'm very interested in battle damage techniques. Maybe make a tutorial or two about them if you want.
I'll make those tutorials as soon as I'll build a tank with some dings and dents :)
Now you are my favorite modelling channel. I think you don't realize how awesome you are :)
I love your style. very entertaining and informative.
Awesome video, really enjoying the content. I also enjoy the bloopers. This channel is going places.
I wished you had like 100 videos. Been re-watching them all like 50 times.
Maybe one day we'll get to 100 videos :)
The greatest channel, and you are the greatest modeller! Thanks man!
Nice, really nice!.
I must be weird because I actually enjoy putting tracks together, even ones that have five pieces per link. I find it therapeutic in some ways.
It IS therapeutic, unless you have a 1-week video uploading schedule :D

And later I found it when I stepped on it so hard it punctured my foot!

cant wait for next episode !! i'm going to start play around with Tamiya Putty texture !
Awesome build !
And yes the Chi-Ri was a massive vehicle ! It is much larger than Tiger 1 and even slightly larger than the Tiger 2.
It really caught me off guard!
These some high quality models and videos.

haha you are such a funny guy, i like your editing and presenting style! Keep on going my friend, you rock!

Mainly yes. It also seems to dry slower.

Can you do a video on dealing with rubberband tracks? Still a ton of them around.
So good. Thank you! Keep the videos coming
Perfect timing! I just sat down with my lunch.
Amazing video! Vey well done nad great fun to watch!
It was likely used for target practise.

Can you make a tutorial on how to make simple acrylic washes?
I really like the armour texture 😁
Acrylic pinwash? Those are not good :( Enamel/oil is better.
would love if you could show us some of the reference pictures so we can understand what you are talking about, build looking great soo far!
They're protected by copyright. But they're easy to google, just type in Type 5 Chi-Ri and they'll pop up immediately.
