Just realized that night shift made this video for himself in case he forgets where something is, he can just re-watch the video and find it easily. genius idea night shift!
Uncle, thank you for inviting us into your home, much appreciated. If I could ask, maybe a tour of your display case? This could be used as a future short video to "fill a gap" while on a long break while your out biking!? Oh and thank you, I had imagined that you had no junk drawers...YOU ARE HUMAN!!
From the standard of your work, I guess I expected a huge room full of magical, mysticaL stuff. Amazed and impressed to see such incredible work from a fairly tiny space. Love it! Thanks Uncle
i should do a workbench tour... So we got our paintbrushes in a 7-11 Slurpee cup. Paints in a small toolbox made in metal shop class. panel liner, pigments, glue, thinners in a metal tin. Knives and cutters, just lying around ready to misplaced. Painting and building in a Cardboard box. thank you for coming to my workbench tour
My modeling supply/tools storage is a 20x14inch plastic bin and a kids pencil box. My 'workbench' is the spare computer desk that used for lots of hobbies/tasks.
I like that "custom" paint shaker lol...pretty sweet idea....That whole distilled water vs regular old tap water to me depends on the water quality+ if you have one of those water softeners/purifiers installed in your place, for me distilled made no difference but others might have a massive different result..I just run my water through one of those Pur water filters for drinking to get the alkalines down (no hard water chalkyness when the water dries out) pus extra clean drinking water...2 birds 1 stone lol
Distilled water is great if you’re thinning or diluting paints or washes and then putting them into storage containers. Stops them going off. Also essential if you use a wet pallet - slows the growth of moss/fungus/gunk, since ordinary tap water is infested with all sorts of lifeforms.
As a lapsed model-maker it was so great to discover your other passion is MTB! Looking forward to the upcoming ‘Uncle Nightshift hits some big drops’ vid!
If you want a good grab handle tool - Trumpy do a set of 6 crimpers for different handle sizes and thicknesses.Simply put some brass rod in the slot, crimp the tool together - like pressing a stapler, and you get instant perfectly bent handles for either surface mount [with feet] or drill-mount [with feet cut off].
I would say the only thing to ad would be a well lit hobby paint booth. I made mine from heavy card board and computer fans intake and exhaust filters work well to keep airborne overspray manageable. Thanks for the very informative videos.
I'm the same way with certain products, I have a bunch of it like the Mig's Pigments and washes but hardly ever use them. I often find their washes too thick. Also have a bunch of the Wilder Oil Paints but just can't seem to like them for some reason. When it comes to space, I use only the tools I need or use the most due to space. I have to share a workbench with my gaming PC stuff so...yeah. Maybe one day I can have a dedicated room for my armor stuff.
This is true, not a lot of stuff and it doesnt need to be expensive. I use a chinee $25 airbrush, it works fine. Now if only kits and paint werent soo expensive.
fun tour. I have a small collection of vallejo model paints and it's about all that I use. I might pickup some Wilder stuff if they ever are back in stock.
The distilled water won't show an effect until a model has sat for quite a while. (years probably) the chemicals they add to your tap water would, over time, degrade the colors of the paint. It's a longevity hack more than anything. :) Thank you for the tour!
Oh yes. Completely forgot about the fluorides they put in tap water. I use distilled water for my wet pallet and for any paint mixtures I intend to store for more than a couple of days - tap water goes off within a weeks because of all the bugs and microbes in it.
I really like the tidiness you're able to keep. I wish I could keep my workbench in such an order, but I'm inspired now to get my modelling room looking more like yours.
Nice setup Martin. I really need to get a couple of those softboxes for filming and photos, I think they'd really help make things epic! Hey if you don't use those pigments... send to me! :):) I use them all the time. Anyway, great model room you have there. I think you'll agree, a nice working environment really helps keep the mojo morale up! Cheers!
@@mirrorblue100 oh yeah.. i love the junkers.. I built one in my late teens and it's still a fav of mine. did a crashed dio in a desert setting. but i'd like to see nightshift do a ship or plane for sure.. especially with his eccentric style of building.
@@Entity282 That would be in order. I will be building the DML Ju-88G6 using a Quickboost FuG 240 resin nose replacement - hope to begin that project in September.
I wish I had half that stuff you said you don't use. LoL Thank you for showing us around the shop. Gave me some ideas for setting up my workbench. Especially with the paints, washes, textures and pigments. I made my own drawer system already.
Put lighters few centimeters away from glue. 🤔🤔 Sounds like a good idea!!😂😂 Just kidding, keep up the good work, watched all of your amazing videos✌🏻✌🏻✌🏻.
Love the setup! Interesting that you two desks. One thing I am so happy I added to my desk is a hover! It's a small cheap one, maybe £20-30, with a foot start and the pipe goes up behind the desk.
Great walk through man... Thanx for showing your workbench... Tell me, where do u buy your VMS supplies. I live in Denmark, but I can't for the life of me, find any suppliers in Europe... I'm sure it's me, but could point me in the right direction?
Very nice and clean set up there. LOL at your tan lines, several years ago I rode my motorcycle on a long trip and my gloves had round holes on the back and when I was done I had a kitty cat paw print on the back o f my hand.
Awesome videos and modeling! As if that wasn't enough, finding out you're a mountain biker as well is even more awesomeness! Ride/model on, maaa friend!
Three things. 1. Love the set up, I think you would have a fit if you saw mine. 2. Can you do a video showcasing all you painted models. Like all of them. 3. I'd really like to see you work on a Warhammer model. I don't think you'd be very impressed by the detail but I think the models are cool and have character. (If you do decide to do a Warhammer model I'd advise doing one from the astra militarum.
Uncle night Shift. All looks great. Now we are not being nosey! But how about all those tanks you built over time. How your display?? . I had one in the past. But i couldn't bring it. ,it was one of those display shelf with glass shelves and sidings. And a light came with it. I think it was one of those departments kind. And it was nice!
On top of your building bench you have some nice plywood storage drawers in sort of a cabinet structure. Did you build those? I do woodworking and those make sense for odds and ends on the bench. Thanks for the tour!!!
Normal water can cause some parts of your airbrush to rust like in my case. Using destilled water prevents that. Also it's quite nice knowing you also are a fellow mountain biker :)
Great work place and thanks for the tour! But, I gotta make one suggestion, ditch those glass tabletops as soon as ya can. I've had too many of the damn things explode on me with no warning.
Hi, you are making very interesting videos, thank you. I was surprised that you have a camera with a matrix of 16 million pixels and records so well. I have a canon 550d and I'm learning how to drive it now. I'm just going to use the manual lens of the Industrar 61lz. And I have a request for you, if you can and have free time, then please record a video about what settings you use on the camera to shoot videos. Thanks
Nice dojo you got there bro! Around the time you made that video, there was a shortage of TP here in the states. If the EU had a similar problem, I bet that TP was worth its weight in gold lol. Cheers!
I just came across your channel , & WOW at the detail you put into weathering . I can see why or how you would acquire all of the pigments & washes that you have on your shelves. Which brings me to my question. What type of shelves do you have & are the home made or did you buy them , if so where did you get them? Thank you for sharing your videos n plzzz keep up the great work
IM SO GLAD U POSTED I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS im busy with a grand slam bomber,from tamiya im done building just gonna paint tomorrow my fingers cramped after the wings but anyways keep uploading your doing great!
Just realized that night shift made this video for himself in case he forgets where something is, he can just re-watch the video and find it easily.
genius idea night shift!
It wouldn't be the first time I went back to my older vids to check for something :)
Big Brain time
Great setup. Where's the area you break down in tears while trying to clean individual track links??
That's the shed out back
At least he doesn't need to make tracks from scratch
hey cleaning tracks is fun, I do that in my hidden pleasure room
@@NightShiftScaleModels I'm not here to kink shame.
Ummmm what kind of “pleasure room” you said?
"I didn't even know I had those..." The cry of every hobbyist. Thanks for the tour Uncle Night Shift, we'll see you in the next video.
That, and "Why do I have six of these??"
Uncle, thank you for inviting us into your home, much appreciated. If I could ask, maybe a tour of your display case?

Indeed. Martin just chirped.
From the standard of your work, I guess I expected a huge room full of magical, mysticaL stuff. Amazed and impressed to see such incredible work from a fairly tiny space. Love it! Thanks Uncle
Definitely felt encouraged seeing that it wasn't anything crazy.
7:12 that is perfect for realistic battle damage!
that's how we fix stuff here
The way it works: once you get rid of it, you will need it

The story of my life🤣
Yep, that's the rule. ;)
always lol
i should do a workbench tour...

@@orbitalair2103
nice
is this a personal attack or somethin
Organized enough to actually find what you're looking for in a snap, yet "chaotic" enough to see that it's actually being used.
Very nice, thank you.
right.. i spend 70% of my time looking for what I need to do whatever task i'm doing on model at that session. i need to organize..
"Quarantine haircut here"
Boy if that ain't a mood right there
I like that "custom" paint shaker lol...pretty sweet idea....That whole distilled water vs regular old tap water to me depends on the water quality+ if you have one of those water softeners/purifiers installed in your place, for me distilled made no difference but others might have a massive different result..I just run my water through one of those Pur water filters for drinking to get the alkalines down (no hard water chalkyness when the water dries out) pus extra clean drinking water...2 birds 1 stone lol
Very true. I have a water softener and have to buy distilled water for thinning
Yeah I didn't notice any difference either because I have a carbon filter or something under my sink... but it was worth a try
Distilled water is great if you’re thinning or diluting paints or washes and then putting them into storage containers. Stops them going off. Also essential if you use a wet pallet - slows the growth of moss/fungus/gunk, since ordinary tap water is infested with all sorts of lifeforms.
I thought you were about to say the tan was from wearing rubber gloves lol
lol, and I've gotten it from those studio softboxes, right? :)
GEEZ! No wonder your models are so good you literally have enough materials to make models from scratch on your desk! 😂👍🏻
Glad my modeling area isn't the only one that is essentially organized chaos. 😁
what is this organized you speak off i know not of this word lol
"Heavy Duty Paint Mixer" Brilliant!!! I had one of those and didn't even know it.
That "AH!" When the AK real color pot drops at 12:35 killed me lmao
Coolest thing "heavy duty paint mixer"!
Get me da Choppa !! HA!! I LOVE your paint mixer idea ! Brilliant.
You can buy these mesh covers for windows that you attach with magnets to a window. Really good and helps keep some of the bugs away.
I have them, but those bugs are so small they'll squeeze right through
Yes! I asked for this. Thank you. Mine looks 100 times worse

Thanks for the tour! I've been learning a lot from your channel over the past year, and I really appreciate your good humor and attention to detail.
Pretty nice work bench! Thanks for giving us opportunity to see it!
I would say the only thing to ad would be a well lit hobby paint booth. I made mine from heavy card board and computer fans intake and exhaust filters work well to keep airborne overspray manageable. Thanks for the very informative videos.
Lighters in the same wooden container as a bunch of super flammable glue. I like your style!
Now we saw your workbench, we want to see your collection showroom!
The saw converted into a paint mixer is pretty clever i must say.👍

I just got my first tank model because of you lol. Got a Tamyia M41 Walker Bulldog kit. We will see how it goes!
Sweet setup, love the paint rack! 🤙
Cool to see your work areas. All you really need are the basics, to produce great models.
This is true, not a lot of stuff and it doesnt need to be expensive. I use a chinee $25 airbrush, it works fine. Now if only kits and paint werent soo expensive.

thanks for making my day a little bit better. 😊
Great to see how much stuff you have that you don’t use. Got to say I’m jealous of the Wilder stuff. Can’t wait till they sell it again.
My wife has a custom paint shaker as well!😀 all do... i never see her near my bench late at night🤔
