Hi Martin, GREAT video and finish. Congratulations on your first Maschinen Krieger model and thank you very much for the kind mentions. Sincerely appreciated!!
I'm really enjoying the 30+ minute videos you've been doing recently! The worst part about a Night Shift video is when it ends, so I'm glad that I can watch for longer before that happens. Great video as always!
"a suit like this can be efficiently finished in 3 days"... meanwhile I'm 6 months into my MK44 build 🤣. Awesome as usual Martin. Absolutely love this man. Guarantee we will start seeing more seems on the under-suit of Ma.K kits.
It's a lot of fun and goes together pretty well. Some of the interior parts on the inside of the 'cockpit' gave me a little trouble but pretty sure that was on me. I think you would love it. Give it that WW2 Soviet super heavy cast look.
adding mud on one side from where the suit may of come in contact with the wall(s) might have been a nice touch. Very nice work overall. You never disappoint.
Gotta say I would love to see you tackle a WH40K Imperial Guard tank, I bet it would look fantastic with all the techniques you use to make these scale models look realistic.
Hi Martin, small chance you will ever see this but I hope you do. It was you who got me into modeling in late 2022. 6 months, a Panzer IV, Pz. 38(t), Churchill 7, and Panther later, I’m loving it. Thank you so much.
This is mind-blowing! The discipline and patience that you dedicated to the details really paid off. I hope this project opens the idea of you doing more mechs in this style in the future.
I'd love to see him tackle a 40k model. Seeing a guard tank being given the full weathering and modeling treatment would be amazing. Or seeing how he makes a Space Marine tank a bit more grounded would also be really cool to see.
I love seeing these historical modelling techniques used on SciFi models. I'd be fascinated to see how you would paint something like an Imperial Knight from 40k.
Martin.. i dont care what you do.. your work is inspiring for me. Your models are so incredible.. i have watched almost every video you have made.. and i always enjoy listening to your own spin on things.. you have taught meany many techniques and tricks.. DONT STOP MODELING.. !!
"All good things come to those that wait" and my friend you are always worth waiting for. How you can make such an unbelievable scene so beautifully believable is awesome! Stay true to your passion and don’t ever let time restraints destroy the beauty you deliver each and ever time. I would rather wait 6 months to be able to share in you’re journey of building models than expect them every week or two. Live the passion.
Holy CoW! You REALLY covered all the bases in this one. I have a formal academic background in fine art, drawing & painting. Watching fundamental painting principals being applied with out of the 'blue-box' simple recycled materials truly inspirational. The possibilities are huge! Thank you for sharing your inspirational travels in this amazing adventure in modelling and for helping to make our own journeys more fun. Peace, love & good health to you!
Holy cow this is so good. I am loving the juxtaposition of your ww1 stuff mixed with futuristic mechs. It’s a combination of two of my favorite areas of modeling. I was just so pleased to see this video. Love your stuff
I seldomly watch an entire video these days. But, on your channel I always find myself enjoying the whole process. I love seeing your "traditional" historcial style being used on sci-fi models. I loved this and your 40k one. The 40k community could learn a lot from you.
First time to see your video. I can't believe the detail and results of your work. The sandbags, the paint, the groundwork. Amazing. Definitely subscribing.
Hi Martin, I am a firefighter here in new Zealand who has been fighting cancer for the past seven years or so. I am also a railway modeller, but was drawn to your site by the title, after all most of us firefighters have done a night shift or two during our careers. Anyway I have watched all your videos during my treatment and recovery. I am in remission now, but I have to say that this video and the one of the VW car covered in moss are simply brilliant and will be an inspiration to me now I'm resuming my modelling journey. Thank you for your inspiration, your adventures and thoughts. Regards Russell. Wellington New Zealand
This was an absolute pleasure to watch. Your attention to details, lighting, and colors is always a joy to see. Blending these two concepts together into a cohesive diorama worked really well. I'm a huge fan of alternate war histories and this works so well together!
Just found your channel and being a modeler/wargamer for 40+ years, your teaching me some great new tips, so thanks for that. Love the Mac stuff and keep, keeping it WEIRD!
If you're not the best in the business, I don't know who is. This is what modelling is all about...just having fun, creating, using your imagination and coming with something you can be proud of. I found this vignette to be whimsical...very enjoyable.
The scratch flex cable, the sculpted sandbags, artistry above and beyond. Reminded me of bomb disposal suits, could see life imitating art at some point once battery technology improves.
this is a beautiful build and as a welder, i just about cried when you added those gorgeous welds on the outsides. between the metal texture, the welds, and the bolts it made this thing feel genuine and real. i love the little hoses too! this is amazing!
I always say Martin does the best videos and I look forward to watching him work. The great thing is that he always inspires me to try A new technique and have fun doing it. Thank "My Friend"
Thanks so much for the running commentary, explaining in detail what you did, as well as explaining (sometimes) what you didn't do and why.. It's a fantastic piece of art, from a ultra-skilled craftsman (you). Thanks for sharing.
Great video Martin. I'd never considered it before, but yes, MaK looks really good in a WWI setting and colour scheme. Take care and enjoy the spring weather!
I've only ever painted fantasy models and watching videos of others doing the same. Your work is on a totally different level! Definitely an entertaining and informative watch my friend
Great finish my friend! And no worries on the "fuel cap" 😂 maybe they welded a fuel rod in there and called it a day. Less wasted time in the maintenance yard- more time shooting panzerfäusts that appear like farts on the battlefield. I am glad you leaned into this project and had fun with it, it looks absolutely epic in your style and you made the kitbash decals seamlessly integrated into the vehicle. I believe most of these original kits from the early days took decals from scale aircraft kits, so no doubt the lore accurate essence of Ma.K lives on. See you in the next one
Youre my favorite modeller youtuber and each project you show us are always stunning in how meticulous you are with the details and end result, carry on muh friend
Have you ever considered including battle damage? Stuff like bullet impacts or scratches? Things that cut a little deeper than the weathered look. Great vid as always!
Thats a looong video my dude!!! Hope you feel better with that schedule. For me it does not matter when/how often, will watch anyway. Most important thing is enjoying what you do everyday. Take care and thanks for your insights
Im loving the longer well edited content and the face to face intros. I hope your doing well and doing the models you really want to do.
🤔 This is one of the only YT Channels I actually watch at *Normal Playback Speed.*
Wow, I'm glad to see new things on this channel, it would be great to see more like this.
Agreed. There are more than enough tank/armor only modelers on UA-cam, it’s nice to see modelers using kits like these.
We need more Maschinen Krieger, Uncle Nightshift! Those kits NEVER get enough attention!
i would love to see him do an imperial knight from warhammer
From the thumbnail I thought this was Boylei Hobby Time. It's awesome to see something more in the historical fantasy genre from you.
Hi Martin, GREAT video and finish. Congratulations on your first Maschinen Krieger model and thank you very much for the kind mentions. Sincerely appreciated!!
I'm really enjoying the 30+ minute videos you've been doing recently! The worst part about a Night Shift video is when it ends, so I'm glad that I can watch for longer before that happens. Great video as always!
"a suit like this can be efficiently finished in 3 days"... meanwhile I'm 6 months into my MK44 build 🤣. Awesome as usual Martin. Absolutely love this man. Guarantee we will start seeing more seems on the under-suit of Ma.K kits.
How's the Mk 44? That's the one I wanted to build initially!
It's a lot of fun and goes together pretty well. Some of the interior parts on the inside of the 'cockpit' gave me a little trouble but pretty sure that was on me. I think you would love it. Give it that WW2 Soviet super heavy cast look.
@@NightShiftScaleModels id love to see something painted in another light level or even at night instead of in daylight
adding mud on one side from where the suit may of come in contact with the wall(s) might have been a nice touch. Very nice work overall. You never disappoint.
Rule of cool should win out everytime when modeling for fun! Glad to see you enjoying yourself with projects like these!
Hell yeah! Been waiting to see you build some Ma.k.!!!
This was an excellent episode! Love the concept.
Wow! I never though to see you here @Boylei Hobby Time lol, btw loved your most recent vid 😎👌
We found em boys
This model made a nice change of subject. And the ww1 setting actually fits super well.
This was so awesome, I really hope you branch out into more sci-fi or fantasy stuff on occasion more in the future.
Gotta say I would love to see you tackle a WH40K Imperial Guard tank, I bet it would look fantastic with all the techniques you use to make these scale models look realistic.
That is glorious! I'm a huge Ma.K fan and I've used your armor techniques on my figures and it's a joy to see you paint one of these awesome models!
Loved it. I like the format of the entire build and finish process in one video. It was worth the wait!
like how you combine WW1 battlefield scenes with combat robots.
absolutely loving the blend of realistic and weird-sci fi! Please do more of that stuff
The Return of the King!
One of my favorites ever! Love all kinds of alternate history/fictional history. Very inspiring!
Hi Martin, small chance you will ever see this but I hope you do. It was you who got me into modeling in late 2022. 6 months, a Panzer IV, Pz. 38(t), Churchill 7, and Panther later, I’m loving it. Thank you so much.
This is mind-blowing! The discipline and patience that you dedicated to the details really paid off. I hope this project opens the idea of you doing more mechs in this style in the future.
I love seeing you tackle these non-traditional projects!
I love these scifi, yet historical diorama's! Great job
Dieselpunk
I've missed you, uncle nightshift. But , oh boy, it was well worth waiting for! It was really nice to watch you step out of your comfort zone.
finally a really good acrylic painting tutorial on Ma. K, and not friggin lacquer paint! great video!
loving the longer videos! getting closer and closer to a warhammer 40k model ;)
My thoughts exactly. Someone needs to send Martin a Baneblade!
I'd love to see him tackle a 40k model. Seeing a guard tank being given the full weathering and modeling treatment would be amazing. Or seeing how he makes a Space Marine tank a bit more grounded would also be really cool to see.
Each video we getting closer and closer to WH40k dioramas and I'm waiting patiently...
I love seeing these historical modelling techniques used on SciFi models. I'd be fascinated to see how you would paint something like an Imperial Knight from 40k.
I love trenches and sci-fi, so this was one of my favorites. Thank you!
I'm glad to finally see you tackle a Maschinen Krieger kit! I'll look you up on Instagram and we can compare builds.
This was interesting custom project to watch. First time encountering this type of diesel punk series as well. 🤔
Martin.. i dont care what you do.. your work is inspiring for me. Your models are so incredible.. i have watched almost every video you have made.. and i always enjoy listening to your own spin on things.. you have taught meany many techniques and tricks.. DONT STOP MODELING.. !!
Even your beautiful house has incredible intentional weathering!! Love it Unc!!
I really appreciate how realistic, vivid and ultra focus the video looks, heck it looks more color correct than real life.
These are honestly the best modeling videos on UA-cam
*WHoo!* this is what I've been waiting for!!!
Love the MaK world. Outstanding weathering as always...
Those sandbags are soooo well done. 👍👌 the rest of awesome too. But that really stood out to me.
I've been waiting on a Ma.K kit on your channel and you knocked it out of the park. Amazing build and fits the theme beautifully. Thanks for the video
That was great on many levels - the trench work alone made it worth the watch. Thank you!
"All good things come to those that wait" and my friend you are always worth waiting for. How you can make such an unbelievable scene so beautifully believable is awesome! Stay true to your passion and don’t ever let time restraints destroy the beauty you deliver each and ever time. I would rather wait 6 months to be able to share in you’re journey of building models than expect them every week or two. Live the passion.
Those hand sculpted rubber joints are just top notch job, much more realistic and "used" look.
I wouldn't mind seeing another one of these but on the allies side amazing work man
Holy CoW! You REALLY covered all the bases in this one. I have a formal academic background in fine art, drawing & painting. Watching fundamental painting principals being applied with out of the 'blue-box' simple recycled materials truly inspirational. The possibilities are huge!

Places putty over rubber joints due to seam lines >> putty joints looking good! >> Adds seam lines
your ground work just blows me away every time.
I seldomly watch an entire video these days. But, on your channel I always find myself enjoying the whole process. I love seeing your "traditional" historcial style being used on sci-fi models. I loved this and your 40k one. The 40k community could learn a lot from you.
Mah friend, I love this change from the normal tanks. Diversity is great and you nailed this one!
First time to see your video. I can't believe the detail and results of your work. The sandbags, the paint, the groundwork. Amazing. Definitely subscribing.
Is this for real? Or a scam?

I find these small dioramas really fascinating. They force you to focus on a very small space and you get inside it. Simply brutal Martin!!!
Это что ли альтернативная ПМВ
This is awesome! Please do more Ma.K, it's such a cool subject and you've absolutely nailed it.
Love this long videos, no cliff hangers. Vingette looks awesome!!! Next Warhammer 40k.
This was an absolute pleasure to watch. Your attention to details, lighting, and colors is always a joy to see. Blending these two concepts together into a cohesive diorama worked really well. I'm a huge fan of alternate war histories and this works so well together!
Thank you , Uncle Night-shift .
🐺
Glad to see you back, Martin! I like your spin on this subject and am looking forward to the next one. Thanks!
Just found your channel and being a modeler/wargamer for 40+ years, your teaching me some great new tips, so thanks for that. Love the Mac stuff and keep, keeping it WEIRD!
Somehow, the 45 minutes flew away in one breath...
Good video, again
This new convention is really relaxing, joy to watch
If you're not the best in the business, I don't know who is. This is what modelling is all about...just having fun, creating, using your imagination and coming with something you can be proud of. I found this vignette to be whimsical...very enjoyable.
Wow! I love the design of the mech. Absolutely stunning.
The scratch flex cable, the sculpted sandbags, artistry above and beyond.
Reminded me of bomb disposal suits, could see life imitating art at some point once battery technology improves.

Right up my alley since I love both WW1 and MK. Great job, Glad I came across this.
Me and my son are fans and we enjoy and learn so much from you. We like so much the my friends part
Excellent. Keep building and painting what you want Uncle Night Shift. I'll keep watching 🙂
Thanks so much for the running commentary, explaining in detail what you did, as well as explaining (sometimes) what you didn't do and why..
It's a fantastic piece of art, from a ultra-skilled craftsman (you).
Thanks for sharing.
Omg I'd look for those very beautiful models before I'm so glad you did one of these.
I wish the video was longer!! This is an awesome concept and execution!!
Great video Martin. I'd never considered it before, but yes, MaK looks really good in a WWI setting and colour scheme. Take care and enjoy the spring weather!
Like a shot of morphine….your videos chill me out, first voice I hear in the week that isn’t stressed or that doesn’t want anything. Thank you!
Kind of like a Wolfenstein prequel😮
Cool build is always❤
amazing final result. the mixing of historic times is ingenious, it's called using your imagination... bravo... from central Mexico, Queretaro...
Simply put, I like it! Your diorama skills are also amazing!
Dude, those sandbags are INSANELY GOOD!
I've only ever painted fantasy models and watching videos of others doing the same. Your work is on a totally different level! Definitely an entertaining and informative watch my friend
My Friend!
This Model/Diorama looks sooo freakin' sick!
Please do more of the Maschinen Krieger Models!!!
INSANE WORK!
As others have said, the new format works with the longer in person intros, while not my thing I really enjoyed this.cheers👍
Great finish my friend! And no worries on the "fuel cap" 😂 maybe they welded a fuel rod in there and called it a day. Less wasted time in the maintenance yard- more time shooting panzerfäusts that appear like farts on the battlefield. I am glad you leaned into this project and had fun with it, it looks absolutely epic in your style and you made the kitbash decals seamlessly integrated into the vehicle.

Dude, you are simply a genius, your work is mesmerizing
16:40 You absolute madman. That's the most detailed sandbags I've ever seen.
As always, this video was incredibly inspirational. I'm about to paint some Adeptus Titanicus models and will try some of your weathering on those.
Glad to see you consulted Lincoln's work. The diorama turned out great!
This was definetly worth the wait! I love what you are doing with the new format.
This is *SO AWESOME!* Please do more "Alt-history" mech-model dioramas. 😃👍
Youre my favorite modeller youtuber and each project you show us are always stunning in how meticulous you are with the details and end result, carry on muh friend
Have you ever considered including battle damage? Stuff like bullet impacts or scratches? Things that cut a little deeper than the weathered look.
Great vid as always!
I learn so much from your videos that I take into tabletop miniatures and just my bases alone are way better and my aspirations are ever-growing.
I love this new format! Feels more personal and very authentic!
Excellent work. Really enjoyed the change of subject. Glad you're back.
So glad to see your newest video article! Love your work.
Wow amazing work. love the style and the idea. I have to say the sand bags are shockingly realistic.
This was a great project! Thank you dearest uncle!
Loved it. Quite surprised to find how long I'd been sitting here. Well worth the time.
That custom armored hose technique was absolutely beautiful to watch.
Thats a looong video my dude!!! Hope you feel better with that schedule. For me it does not matter when/how often, will watch anyway. Most important thing is enjoying what you do everyday. Take care and thanks for your insights
One word AWESOME love this , hope your well and keep doing what makes you happy, because it makes us happy.
Seeing those fantastic armour modelling and painting techniques on other sci fi or dieselpunk models would be really cool.
