The Biggest Diorama I've Ever Built! Watermill in 1/35 Scale
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 30 พ.ย. 2023
- My friends, sometimes you design a diorama around the model, and sometimes you choose a model for the diorama. This was the latter case because a truck loaded with sacks of flour sounded perfect for a large diorama with a water mill. This is definitely the most complex diorama I've done so far, featuring pretty much every texture you can imagine - bricks, rocks, old wood, grass, dry ground, a cobblestone road, figures, and let's not forget the creek made from epoxy resin!

Disclaimer: I have a good relationship with a handful of modelling brands and stores, namely VMS, Michigan Toy Soldier Company, and AK-Interactive. As such, I'm happy to use their products/services, and show them in my work. In return, they support my efforts in this hobby, although my hands are not bound nor am I obligated to push one brand or the other. This was one of the founding ideas of the channel and I will always stand by this.

I only realised recently and i hope you have too but you are a pillar of the modelling community everyone knows you and follows your guides keep it up!
Dudes a g
Best channel on yt
Love seeing "muh frens" pop up in the comments on all other things
Yes. At least three other modelers have mentioned that they either are doing something they saw Uncle doing or are trying not to do something they saw him do in just the last week.
Gotta say that one thing I really like about him is his willingness to not just step but leap out of his comfort zone. Here he is doing figures like he’s been doing it his whole life, building things that aren’t tanks, and building dioramas. Yes Uncle, some of us remember when you said you’d never build a diorama.
So true. How many figures and tanks do you think there are out there done copying NightShift techniques? I bet it's a lot. Lol
You are by FAR my favorite diorama creator on youtube not only for your detailed creation but also because your helpful commentary. Wish you all the best!
Can we also acknowledge you are a legend for donating
Dear Uncle. Now everyone sees why you changed your style of releasing videos. Its a VERY long video, but VERY GOOD as well. It soothing, detailed and - most importantly - i never felt you would rush through the topic. And thats what you did back in the day when we had weekly videos. So, dear Martin, thank you. Great video (amazing build too!) and a very own unique style too.
There's just something so satisfying seeing the diorama come together
100% !
When the World needs him most he returns!! Looks amazing uncle Night Shift!
Loving the "in person" cameos you added man! Really makes the video production oddly feel more "professional" somehow. THANK YOU FOR WHAT YOU DO.!!!
Thanks! They were very refreshing, and it's something I'd love to keep adding in future videos as well :)
THE best 50 minutes of modelling I have ever watched……truly incredible work…..for a man who wasn’t sure about going into dioramas back in the day, too arguably the best diorama modeller on this planet……stunning, stunning piece…….👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
I am nearing my sixtieth year and have modelled on and off since I was a young boy. Over the years I gained experience and some of the financial means needed to improve and enrich my modelling pleasure. You Sir are awesome! You are a leonardo da vinci of this wonderful hobby and passion we have all become enslaved to! Thank you 🙏 so much for sharing all your hard work and advice it is hugely appreciated. 🤗
50 minutes! This will be perfect for tonight, thanks for the upload uncle Night Shift!
As usual a great diorama with a superb finish only one flaw, I am fairly sure that if that soldier was driving a truck, he wouldn't be wearing all that kit!
that was the thing that jumped out at me too, and i had to scroll too far to see this comment!
This model diorama building channel is by far one of the best here on TH-cam in my humble opinion. As someone who has been doing this type of work for over forty years I’ve seen everything under the sun in terms of techniques and trends . Products good or bad come and go. Model kits horribly produced or perfectly made are everywhere. True talent and most importantly someone who genuinely enjoys what they are doing always catches my eye. Story telling and fun are paramount in diorama creation. You my friend are excelling in those areas. May your imagination and joy never end…
i was REALY looking out for this one as a 15 year old modeler you have realy inspired me thx for that
Seeing all of this come together slowly just makes me appreciate the work you Put into all of this.Modelling is a great hobby and you help to make the TH-cam community of the Hobby just simply a better płace.Thanks Uncle NS!
Amazing work! After You painted the lower cobblestone sections, the "horror-look" was completely gone! It's a very nice and cosy scene!:)
This is your best one yet! It's been really fun and rewarding to follow your journey in modelling. Thank you, uncle Nightshift!
this guy not a modeller anymore , he's a truly artist.
This was a fantastic upload. The diorama was stunning. Thank you so much for sharing.
Oh wow the birch catkin bits as ivy leaves is such an inspired choice, love the small natural variation in exact shape and size versus store bought foliage
This looks spectacular! There’s always a place for both sides of the diorama coin. Scratchbuilding gives you infinite freedom, but these commercial kits look amazing too. Love it at always, can’t wait for the next one!
This is by far the best one you've done. This diorama creates a story that's begging to be written. Have you thought about doing a railroad themed diorama?
Again perfect diorama!!!
Always a good day when you post a new video! Thank you for your inspiration!
Amazing craftsmanship as always!
Man, you nailed it once again - IN SPADES !!! This is just SO good - ideas, technique and your approach to showing your work. THANKS - you are my go to channel for good advice and inspiration.
As someone who has no clue whatsoever about the effort that goes into making a diorama, its mind blowing to watch your craft and see the scene coming alive with every addition of detail. There were countless instances during the video when I thought - "Wow, that looks absolutely stunning" and you go ahead and add several more layers of detail and I am just speechless. Good is not good enough - perfection is where you draw the line! Thank you for sharing your work and amazing talent.
I love how at the 30 minute mark when you assembled everything I thought ohhh wow!! that looks pretty good and very realistic and then you ere like ohh btw the base is nowhere near finished lol so much detail man amazing work!
The best diorama I've ever seen. The detailed painting really brings it to life.
My main thought here is....your followers love what you offer in its truest form...meaning we dont count the days and apply pressure for you to produce. A true fan / follower appreciates you in your natural form of creating & sharing WITH YOUR HAPPINESS THRUNOUT being a HUGE reason we watch. #YourHappyWeRHappy
5% kit + 95% Martin = 100% Perfection. I loved the ivy leaves and the pillows of moss on the roof.
absolutely crazy, like 3d rendered, crazy
Chlape máš to super, co si budeme povídat, no velká paráda..... ❤
Thank you for the lovely inspiration, as always!! This was just absolutely incredible
Such a pleasure watching you work. Thank you for sharing!
Wow amazing art work .
Thank you so much.
Absolutely brilliant… bravo‼️
Absolutely stunning work!
Extraordinary piece of work. Wow…🙌
Awesomeness i really enjoyed watching this thankyou
Incredible skill. Thanks for sharing.
This dude is an artists! My word the detail...
I try to watch other diorama builder videos…but none paint their grass, like you…so I just can’t watch them. Your builds are the best, for the extra attention you pay to your ground work. Thank you for your videos🤘
Outstanding, as always! Genius!
Excellent diorama, RT diorama make some fantastic diorama buildings. The church is a really nice building, you must try it sometime
Night shift ive been watching your videos from pretty much the beginning and I'm amazed to see that they get better every time, every video seems to be an improvement on the last which I didn't think would be possible. It genuinely shows how much care and how much time you put in, the small talks you have added with your tips and reviews are amazing and I hope to see more of them in the future, outstanding work as always mate, thankyou for providing such high quality content.
Stunning. Thanks for all.
Your eye for the details is impeccable..those wood beams looked so natural and real..I love all your content and I too enjoy the commentary rather than having nothing but music play as you build..This piece turned out simply amazing
You are so amazing. Thank you for sharing this. I could watch you create all day.
You got me back into modeling, thank you for wonderful inspirations. Love your work!
Amazing, thank you as ever.
I really love your attitude!
You're always very humble and saying such things like "it wasn't much work" and everybody can see, your work is absolutely perfect and a long way to go!
This diorama is absolutely awesome and with insane details. It's telling a very nice story and it was very informative (again) about some of your techniques.
One reason more, why I love your work and this channel!
Many thanks again!
Ur not the only one with this level of attention to detail, all modelers have the same problem. Yeah we can reproduce real world exactly in miniature, cool. After uve built thousands, then what ...
I really enjoyed the video and the artwork too!!!
Everyone of your Dioramas are awesome and inspiring. The way you describe your techniques is a wonderful way to learn from.
Another one of a kind Uncle Nightshift work of art. Beautiful. 👍
Thanks Martin.
Awsome as allways, thank you for this.
AWESOME !!! So much detail, but not overly so
You don't get lost, or over look something, but you never aren't seeing something. Your step by step narration & hints are so very appreciated. Learn something everytime I watch, even repeat veiwing. I wish I had your talents. Keep up the great work.
Fantastic! I love the way you put foam inside the building! And if you want to use Oil Washes on foam Buildings, you can! Seal them with Acrylic Medium, Flat or Gloss! There's no pigment so it Seals Better and doesn't obscure detail. Just make sure it penetrates Every Crack and Crevasse!!! I usually airbrush it, but sometimes use a Brush, especially with Brick. So far I've done about 20 buildings with No Melting!!! And nazca247 is right, you are known to everyone! An Inspiration!!!
YES OH YES. I LOVE IT
Fantastic craftsmanship thanks for sharing your tips
Looks amazing. Great job!
Just too good beyond words.
I can’t believe how long this video is! This is great.
OMG, wow, incredible
Always a joy to watch. Thanks.
Everytime I screw something up on my model and lose spirit to build them, I watch your videos and all of anger fades away. You are awesome
Beautiful work, well done Martin!
Always worth the wait😊
Pure Genius....Love it
What a beautiful roject! Magnificient craftsmanship!
Looks beautiful.
Beautiful piece!
So beautiful. Congratulations
OH HELL YEA.....the thumbnail alone got me very VRRY EXCITED! I don't even build / collect tanks and such ( i collect other stuff)...until your one of only a couple channels / hosts that I truly love to watch!
Beautiful work!!
The roof reminded me of Lincoln Logs from my youth :) Thank you for all you do!
So beautiful ❤
Absolutely stunning sir. Just wonderful.
Definitely worth the wait, look forward to your next masterpiece!
Fantastic! Enjoy learning from you.
Outstanding details as usual, inspiring and gorgeous!!
Superbe diorama, belle utilisation du modèle RT DIORAMA
bravo bravo bravo
I'm loving these long form videos. Your work is very inspiring to me!
This blew us away with how amazing it looks!
Two thoughts, the window panes reflect the light very uniformly, if they were separated and reflected the light as individual panes they would mimic how the old windows look in real life.
Second, I've found that wood stains applied directly to porous timber never looks quite natural, what is a very effective solution is to first apply a timber sealer, and then the stain, this makes it look like real timber, as it stops the over saturation of more porous areas.
Amazing work!!!
Just absolutely wow. I'm blown away by how good this looks.
Just fantastic!
2 words, Absolutely beautiful 😊❤🇦🇺🎉
You make everything look easy. 😊.
Great work, as usual!
Absolutely beautiful and incredible
I love all the work you do it is always so cool to watch your projects come together
Fantastic work.
Man, don’t let ‘em come down on your darker style, that’s one thing I love about your work. There’s a kind of Tim Burton-ish color palette inside your results, I love them. Your results look lived in, they have real personality, good work.
Right on buddy well done!!!!
totally awesome job dude. Well done.
Insane amount of work and detail. Always looking forward to the next one.
Splendid!
Perfect friday watch! Nice work as always
Absolutely beautiful
Wow wow wow !!! Amazing work,
