You may have waited many years to create a building, but your practice at building everything else paid off! Bravo! Excellent use of materials that are not always common. Your painting skills definitely transferred to structures.
Martin, when you were painting the doors and windows, I had an idea. If you were to pint a base coat, (the original paint when the barn was new), you could then use your "Chipping Technique" to have a newer paint on top, but the old paint showing through in places, especially where hands interact with the doors in the usual places, like around the locks and where the farmer pushes the doors closed. In this way, it would be just like painting a tank where the paint was scuffed by walking on it, etc.
For one who claims to never have done something like this... all I can say is Whoa! The subtle colorvariations on the bricks and rooftiles are top notch! Also I love the name "Slimey Grime"
For someone who doesn't do buildings, this has been a great tutorial series showing your thought process and how much fun you have making these videos. Thanks Martin. Love your work!
This is SO COOL!!!!!! My history of model painting comes from Warhammer which is generally 100% acrylic. I love seeing all the different techniques and products available and how to use them successful
@@NightShiftScaleModels Totally agreed! I'm very happy with the work I've accomplished with them. Mainly my eyes have just been opened now that I'm trying my hand at Gundam painting. Every product has its place :) Wonderful job on your videos. I'm a new viewer but I'm so happy to have your videos as a resource!
That is a work of art, the colour blending in wood work, the bricks, the roof, the decay and dirt, perfect. The material you used for the windows, didnt expect that. There is an old out house in yard at the end of a street I've passed all my life, that building looks so much like your model.
Absolutely mind-blowing these crafts! I wish you would do more of these builds (again). I love every detail of it. Thank you for sharing. Have you ever thought about creating a course to share your knowledge in more detail with people? I think you would be a great teacher
That broken glass kit is definitely microscope glass. It works like a dream! It's just a bit unpredictable when you're cutting it, but that probably comes down to a proper cutting technique.
I just wanted to say thank you for making these videos! I have learned so much from seeing you actually use the techniques as opposed to reading about them in a magazine or book. My dad and I have both had head smack moments when we're said "so that's how you do that!" Keep up the great work!
Awesome video! I normally watch all my videos in 2x speed, but this one had to be watched in real time. What an awesome model and even better tutorial. Lots of new techniques I want to try here
Thank you for your videos. I’m sure I speak for many people when I say this; Life can make you question things, relationships, life decisions. Your videos truly take my mind off of the chaos and uncertainty of this world we all share. Idk how many mile between us, or if we will ever say a word to each other, you’ve helped in ways I can’t explain. From depression/anxiety issues. Your videos give me the break I need. A moment to stop and remember that everything in life is to be cherished, BIG or .. smaLL! I wish the best to you mah friend. Thankyou for the distraction! You spark my modeling side everytime! I wish the best of health
As an architect, you did a fabulous job designing the building. The exterior looks amazing with the combination of wood and brick. The roof has a steep pitch proper for Eastern Europe and the elements and the roof tiles graciously fit the space above. Kudos to you mah friend.
@@lordzombey1337 I see, finding a good foam can be tricky. It has to be the densest foam you can find. For example, I bought a large slab of Styrodur 2800C the other day and while it looked okay at a first glance, it's too coarse, but it could work with some extra effort. The higher the number, the denser the foam is gonna be.
Yup made my evening. Have painted military models since I was in grade school. Yeah some of those lovely snap together types that make us cringe now were among the starters. Seeing a "heads up" from Night Shift means popcorn and kick back. Always up for seeing how someone else does it. Most of my painting now is for this or that table top game, but the occasional diorama of "this picture of Grandpa" comes in. Almost all Vietnam era stuff now with around 15 of this or that from Desert Storm or Iraqi/Enduring Freedom. Thanks for the ideas. Have tried a few though still not a fan of oil paints.
You’ve got the skills “Myyyyy Friennnnd”..That seriously is Next level model building. The detail is so convincing and will add a level of realism to the tank that’s going to sit by it. Excellent job! Looking forward to next weeks episode!
Ive been wondering what it would be like if you did stuff like this. I really hope you do even more because unlike so many in this kinda hobby. You add your tank painting patience to a hobby where everyone slaps a base coat adds a wash highlight a few things and bam thats it. Lol they arent painting individual wood planks and i fing love it
You are a real artist Martin! This building turned out beautifully, and I can’t wait to see the final diorama you have planned. Your work is inspirational ‘ma friend’, so please keep them coming! Cheers from Australia!
I love when you say you've never done this before lol then I can't help to hear hold my brush haha awesome job and looking forward to the finish diorama
“It looks like a Barbie house if Barbie lived in Eastern Europe!” That part took the cake! This looks amazing, I’m very happy you tried something new!
Her name would be Branislava, though :D
You know its eastern europe when you live in a village.
@@mistrimeat I would bet that she sholud be named "Nastya"
Ken is wearing an Adidas tracksuit.
You have no idea how much I look forward to hearing "My friends!"
So true tho
Nice to have something to look forward to on fridays right?!!
How about "hello fellow modellers"?
exactly the same feeling every week
Mha friends!
Even unpainted Uncle's miniature barn looks amazing
It looked like a medieval house without paint... those grey stone-like bricks and everything 😁
Yeah
@@NightShiftScaleModels couple of knights instead of T29 and voila - diorama is finished)
@@ЕвгенийВолков-х1г or a blacksmith hammering some chest plates 😁
It looks amazing!….the best diorama house that I ever seen!!!…..congratulations!!
The best thing that you test different techniques and even post some mistakes etc. I appreciate that. Most UA-camrs won't share any mistakes.
Even a building can be a masterpiece! Congratulations Martin!
So many colours and layers - but such wonderful, photographic results.
“My friends!”
Yes you have my utmost attention

You are such a delight to listen to! Funny, well spoken and smart.
Most realistic old barn I ever saw. A lot of work. Thanks for sharing.
These video's are the highlight of my week, after a week of working, this is like heaven!
simply AMAZING , those paint effects are top notch !!!
Just wow! It looks real man! Thankyou for sharing all your techniques. Stay healthy and happy man ☺️👍
For one who claims to never have done something like this... all I can say is Whoa! The subtle colorvariations on the bricks and rooftiles are top notch! Also I love the name "Slimey Grime"
the finish on the boards is fantastic. Great job
I still say... your best work yet!! A true craftsman! Thank you!!
I really enjoyed watching this, and you're voice is nice to listen to. Thank you.
just watched a master builder and painter,outstanding
Man, that’s the best diorama building I’ve ever seen! You are the essence of fast learner! Congrats, from Brazil
I wait every week for the Night Shift video! You're really good
The god of modelling has blessed us with another video!
Simply Fantastic. Inspirational at the least. Looking forward to the diorama.
Easiest diorama building tutorial. Finally you motivated me to try this!
For someone who doesn't do buildings, this has been a great tutorial series showing your thought process and how much fun you have making these videos. Thanks Martin. Love your work!
This is SO COOL!!!!!!
My history of model painting comes from Warhammer which is generally 100% acrylic. I love seeing all the different techniques and products available and how to use them successful
Acrylics are so cool though, after all about 80% of all effects here were done with acrylics :)
@@NightShiftScaleModels Totally agreed! I'm very happy with the work I've accomplished with them.
Mainly my eyes have just been opened now that I'm trying my hand at Gundam painting. Every product has its place :)
Wonderful job on your videos. I'm a new viewer but I'm so happy to have your videos as a resource!
Still probably my favourite night shift building, it just looks so good, a perfect balance of everything
WOW!!! That’s AMAZING realism!!! One would never know it was a scale model and not the real thing. Excellent work!!! Have a great weekend.
Love it. Nothing satisfies more than scratch building. I will probably reference this video a hundred times .
Terrific work! I was dubious about the black window areas but the addition of the cracked and painted windows took care of any worries. 👍🏻
you are a master of scale modelling. please make more video like this
really outstanding
Wow! That looks superb my friend. Don't know how you do it but glad you do.Inspirational
Excellent build and paint job. Love the moss on the roof.
Keep up the good work.
Cheers from Canada
Bob
That wood came out looking especially great.
Brilliant project Love that wood effect.
so excited to enjoy this one and im here less than a min after drop. excited!!!
🤩🤩🤩 OUTSTANDING paintwork !!!!

I love just that wee detail of the wedge of wood in the lock!
Microscope slides work great for windows, too. Especially broken windows. Great video, Martin.
That broken glass kit is definitely microscope glass. It works like a dream! It's just a bit unpredictable when you're cutting it, but that probably comes down to a proper cutting technique.
@@NightShiftScaleModels Nice, I'll have to give it a try.
Sei il numero 1 nel mondo in questo momento. Complimenti!!!🖤
Interesting and informative, keep in mind likin only grows on north faces, moss will grow anywhere. Very inspiring video.
I really appreciate your brick wall painting!
*Please* keep doing buildings like this. I adore the character this adds to dioramas!
Great Work! your attention to detail is outstanding! lots of more tips and tricks! Thankyou once again!
I just wanted to say thank you for making these videos! I have learned so much from seeing you actually use the techniques as opposed to reading about them in a magazine or book. My dad and I have both had head smack moments when we're said "so that's how you do that!" Keep up the great work!

skills, skills, skills! You have sooo much. Keep going! My go to Saturday morning coffe video!
Working on an m18 right now and your t29 build is super helpful for the weathering! Thank you!
DUDE THAT'S FREAKIN PHENOMENAL !!! God Bless All.
Simply stated...it looks amazing!
Wow. Loving your videos. Scale modeling has advanced so much in the last 15 years that I been away from it.
I love your tank videos, but I think this is my favorite ever.

Absolutely superb! I've spent all morning watching your videos, I've learned so much, thank you! *Gotta get me some Slimy Grime*
Incredible artistry. These creations are perfect.

Absolutely amazing only detailing I have dablled in is using lead wire for lines and things like that
Those shingles came out amazing
I have just one thing to say : this is a masterpiece !!! Really it's awsome !
Hi NightShift, thanks for inspiring me to make a building myself, i Made a factory front And a 1946 Diorama is planed :D
How many floors does it have? It sounds like a brick-wall heaven 😁
@@NightShiftScaleModels sadly only one, i have no good foam like you so i had to use plaster bricks which are unbelivably fragile

Good morning Uncle, that was outstanding, well done.
Love your videos, probably the best modeler on youtube.
I'm impressed. Looks great.
Brilliant , I love it. I will defiantly have a go at this .

jaw dropping paint job ! absolutly love it !
Very nice and meticulous work! I would add a downspout and maybe some ropes or wire hanging on the side of the building. Looks exquisite.
Bro that model is amazing, great job
You do awesome work. I really enjoyed watching this project. Great job!!
That looks spectacular Martin!
Just watched this much anticipated post and I was not disappointed. Thank you.

I hardly watch some thing from start to finish but did for this ....Amazing ...
You’re very talented. Interesting videos to watch and I’ve learnt so much!
WOW !
I had no idea you constructed the barn prop.
fantastic job man
Omg bro it looks so good, literally god tier
okay I have to say, this is maybe even more impressive than the tanks. absolutely amazaballs!
Beautiful! You are the master, ma friend.
Fantastically realistic, and you make it look soooooo easy!
Wow, absolut fantastische Arbeit.
You make us feel happy and yunger
Absolutely amazing work. Can't wait to see more dioramas and bigger projects going forward. Keep it up Uncle Nightshift!

Absolutely outstanding work, sir!
Such incredible work. Well done.
Absolutely wonderful. Very inspiring. Cheers from Chris and Lesley in Australia.
