- My friends, tonight we'll take this WW1 diorama through the painting booth and give every element a base coat with an airbrush and acrylic colors!

hey i made my own ww1 diorama of a mark v crossing a trench for my school history project and it turned out great thanks to your tank weathering tips and miniature painting tips, you really go me into my modelling thankyou and i am always leaning from you thanks
You can do dioramas for school projects? Dayum
@@legendaryleon6270 I did it all the time, very fun
I recently completed the same theme diorama xD
@@legendaryleon6270 had to do a couple when I was in school 30 years ago.
yes but did you get an A
That chunk you cut off the bottom of the tank, don't throw it out! Do another diorama of one completely upside down in water. Two for one dioramas! Is there an escape hatch in the bottom of these tanks? If so, show it open.
THAT'S AN AWESOME IDEA SIR‼️
I feel like Uncle Nightshift just has a switch that says. “Easy mode”. But no really, this is freaking amazing dude! I love watching your work come to life.
tbh I thought creating an entire diorama all at once would be easier, but who would've thought it would actually be a ton of work? :D
@@NightShiftScaleModels Would you say that the easy part is that you don't have to blend together models painted individually with different techniques?
It's really cool to see how your process is changing since you started this channel. The composition of this diorama is crazy!
Improvise, adapt, overcome :D

Thanks Uncle, had a mega rubbish day and this has cheered me up no end. Love the diorama, you're endlessly talented! Big love from the UK
I feel ya, but remember, things ALWAYS get better!
So excited to see this one, no mans land makes for such an incredible diorama
Ahhh the words that make my day.... "MAAAAA-FRENS!"
"that's some artsy fartsy bullcrap ma friends"......I laughed hard at that one
Man, your dioramas are just great and impressive
Interesting. You have demonstrated much more than technical ability and modelling hacks. You have something that cannot be taught, namely an artistic talent. The use of colour to direct the eye to the soldier as the only living thing did not go unnoticed. So, any negatives? Yes. We don’t say, “So to say”, we say “So to speak”. Picky ain’t I?
I've seen the WWI photograph that the diorama is depicting and I was like W💥W! Thats really impressive. Great skills for the Great War!
He shows the photo in the first video...
Beautiful work as always, Martin. Forget all the 'challenge' stuff, like 'airbrush only' - do whatever it takes to make the whole scene pop!
Been waiting all week for this!!! 👍👍
That Friday do be hitting different
Love this ww1 diorama, I make some myself, mainly figures and artillery
Im a 3D artist and listening to how you make your dioramas is awesome and really helps me know more about visual story telling. Awesome work!
I love the rifle sling :)
I like your Art .Thanks
Lookin' great!👍🏻👏🏻👍🏻👏🏻
Every of your videos is so interesting to watch. Thank you so much.
I wish I could make my models look as good as yours. You do such an awesome job with the painting, weathering, and chipping. I started scale modeling in the middle of 2020. And so far it has brought me pure joy thank you for being a inspiration to me and many others.
Uncle Night Shift has uploaded...wild heart beats ;)
Thank you uncle night shift more making ww1 diorama
amazing work! I cant believe it was literally cut in half in such a crude way.
Thank you I am in so much praise of your craft -just a jot to watch . i think i just need 20 years of practice to get close to your skills
Very nice job. Diorama is going to be great.
Thanks for sharing your expertise…very realistic!
Good Day Modelcomrade.
The painting for the Tank is exelent.
Especialy the british marks in Front of the Tank.
I hope to see soon the Final 🤗🤗👍i wish you a nice weekend 🍺🍺🍺Greets from Christian
Thank you nightshift I woke up early to watch this I’m so excited 👍
It would be cool to leave a tide mark stain along the side and have the track be much more rusted at that level
Beautiful work)
Almost spooky looking! I'd love to see some black and white photos of the finished diorama, maybe make them look vintage?!
Great looking result so far. Painting everything Black and then let it post shade itself, is my most favorite painting technique right now. :D
The narrative and captioning made this into the most enjoyable video ever, I especially enjoy when you said "my friends" a lots.
Absolutely loved the video! I really like how it’s coming along, the gritty and dull nature really suits the time period and the fact that the soldier will have brighter tones that makes them stand out is almost like an art piece. Love from Australia!
wow looks great and your not even finished, if I could get even close to this as it is now I would be ecstatic, looking forward to the final result
I have a archeology paper somewhere where they dug up a track shoe (circa 1918) for British tank and the amazing thing is what's clinging to it is Moss/MG/British railroad green. I think they call it Service Color. The black primer and thinned paint do make a huge difference. This diorama is great inspiration to continue down the WW1 rabbit hole. Always so creative. Thanks!
Atmospheric and gorgeous, love the work on the tank and on the ground...😍😍👍👍👍
Fantastic dio.
Rewatched film '1917' today and decided to try recreating the broken canal bridge crossing scene. Watching your dio building and painting is inspiring.
friday night is another master class by uncle night shift
Every project you do is superb and tells a story. This diorama is no exception!! It is awesome. My favorite is the paint job and weathering on the tank. Thank you for another great video!
Awesome work, as usual 👍🏻
What looks really good is the loop of the track, gives it a really interesting feel.
I see in this diorama the drowned tank in a swamp where was a chlorine gas. Died trees and slight covered by a green color ground tell about it. It's just my point of view. Work is great.
I always liked Phil Stuckinska's method of water. He painted a gradient that got darker towards the middle to represent increasing depth, then layered on some Klear and built up the water effect like that. Very effective!
Wow......i am absolutely blown away by your Incredible attention to detail, you certainly have an eye for the very fine details. Can't wait to see the completely finished diorama.
The "Arty-Farty Bull Crap" approach seems to be working out just fine so far. Looking forward to the next installment.
exellent weathering !
I'm so happy you uploaded a new video! It's gonna be awesome as always
Can't wait to see the next phase. I am quite impressed but wouldn't have a clue on which colours would look best.
It's definitely starting to look like a movie still. The color grading is excellent
Hope all's well with you at home Martin!
Great skill yet again. Just a little pointer for the future. The tanks names and squadron markings always began with the same letter. I know you said you were depicting a fictional tank from the markings you had, but with the name Firefly, the sqn number should have been F358, not A358. This doesn’t detract from the superb dio though.
About a year late to reply to this comment, but this is completely untrue of British WW1 tanks. The markings you refer to are specific to the Whippets, which were all fielded with the 'A' designation followed by a 3 digit numbering ranging from 200 to 399. In fact, the Whippet nicknamed 'Firefly' is actually still around today in a museum in Brussels, complete with the correct designation markings, 'A347'.
As for the Mark IV being depicted, the tank number designations didn't even feature a letter, all being numbered in a 4-digit designation ranging from 2001-8200 (excluding various ranges of numbers in between).
Incredible work. What you call a first layer looks like a finished product to me. I can't wait to see the next video!
Very cool! I certainly agree with the desaturated and gloomy look, but I like that you have some variation with the flimsy cans, markings, and the figure. I still can’t wait to see the mud and water effects in future videos!
A single red poppy breaking thru the death and destruction would look cool
Потрясающе!!!
🤗🤗🤗
Unique and different, Very nice as always 😀👍
BAAAAADD AAAASSSS AGAIN ‼️‼️ God Bless.
Работа мастера 👍👍👍👍
Awesome work!!I would love seeing you do a char 2c super heavy tank sometime in the future
I love waiting for Sat morning (my time) to see your latest work. Thank you :)
Exceptional as always and love the narration. Looking forward to seeing this one progress.
I love the super glue and toothpick trick! I need to try that.
Extremely cool!!
The tank looks so good in just black!
Nice painting
Happy Friday Uncle Nightshift!
You are really on a totally different level to absolutely everyone else on TH-cam. Inspiring!
Looking good .
Just warched a t.v programe on recovering parts of ww1 tanks red oxide paint base colour and the green they first used was british racing green matt there was loads of camoflage variations.
Looking pretty good so far. Lots of work.
Very nice. Its coming along very nicely. Speaking of airbrushes, just ordered another detail brush a couple of hours ago.
night shift in order to airbrush resin the airbrush must have a .5 bec and above to spray ,and hi presure, I have pesonally sprayed resin with a procon boy ps 290 with the .7 bec on . if you want you can thin a bit the resin with IPA . .PS you can mist the resin with pure IPA to brake se surface tention a bit. I hope this helps you .
Amazing as usual
This. Is. Absolutely. Amazing!
Great work, I can't wait to see the final result! I really dig the "artsy fartsy bullcrap" - your idea is poignant and intriguing, and simple enough to be clear to any viewer!
Uncle night shift!!!! You are very talented and every new project you do gets better and better every time. I was wanting to know if you could do the M41 walker bulldog in a later video. I love the tank and if there’s anyone I know who could pull it off it’s you big man!!! Love ya
I learned ewrything abouth modelling from you. Thanks you so much
Totally perfect. All the best for You! ;)
Beautiful work. I love these WWI British tanks. I have this one and unlike you, I am going to motorize it just for the fun of it!
Hi buddy your diorama looks amazing I always look forward to your modelling videos you do amazing work looking forward to the next one. thank you for sharing mate.
cheers Gary 🇬🇧.
Very good always ,stay safe.
Sehr interessant,wie immer sehr gut erklärt
Hey night shift you should get the Suyata T90A which comes with a GAZ armoured car I think it’s a awesome detailed kit it has bolts and weld lines built in
Awesome... and it's not even finished 😎
I stopped model making many years ago, but love your channel as you do such amazing work. Kind of surrogate modelling! 🙂
*Vicarious modeling
@@mastodonseven Yes, I like that even better 😀
@@slartybartfarst55
You should give it another go yourself in my opinion tho 👍
Cheers Unc, Crazy way to treat a tank but I love it! TFS, GB :)
Crazy! Super cool
Your in progress looks better than my finished projects.
You've inspired me to make a ww1 diorama! Keep up the excellent work!
i was waiting so hard for this
Looking amazing Martin, love how you keep trying new things to improve your skills. Have a great weekend 😊👍
Good progress, really enjoying the direction you're taking with this build! 👍
I waited soo Long for this Video 👍👍
Your work is always stunning.
You should try working with resin at some point, I have just started using it and I have created some dioramas so good I never knew I could do something like it
I was waiting so hard for "It ain't much, but it's honest work" line, but it never came 🥺
Such a huge opportunity missed!:(
very nice!
Can't wait to see part 3!
Awesome work! I can not wait for the next video!
