I love that you do not pretend that you build them with magic.I can see one of the most honest tutorials when I watch yours.When something is hard you say it.When you know an easier way,you easily show it!Thank you very much.
Hey uncle, can you try to build a kit from a “gift kit”, the ones with everything included and just use what us in the kit? I feel like it would be funny to see how someone good at modelling deals with beginner things
I've been having a pretty crap day mentally, so seeing this video in my feed gave me an enormous sense of wellbeing. I'm really looking forward to this series.

It’s was a treat to get the notification that you’re building the BMR as I am close to finishing my Trumpeter T-72B1 I’ve been working on and off for almost 2 years super excited to see how amazing this will come out. A great inspiration and thank you for sharing your knowledge, Martin 😀
This is a very challenging model to build. 1300 parts, with all of the tiny surfaces, curves, and corners create an interesting building experience. This reminds me of putting a 10000 piece puzzle together.
I loved the tracks on the Meng BMPT kit. If you cut the main track parts with a scalpel at the correct angle there is almost no cleanup required. Same for the central guide horn parts. The outer parts are rubber and have their sprue gates on the inside, so cleanup is pretty much no visual factor at all. For an injection molded kit this is pretty amazing.
To save you a little research time i can tell you any vehicle like this that has a welded together body is going to have multiple pass welds so you can just go ahead with your texturing method. Great video 👍
15:04 >"why are there four cables?" two provide current to either electromagnet- the other two provide voltage to the electric or hydraulic motors that raise and lower the roller so they can be lifted up off the ground when not in use.
I just stumbled across your channel and I'm loving it. I mostly do Warhammer miniatures but there are so many little tips and tricks to pick up and you do a really good job of explaining things. Keep up the good work, my dude!
I still can't get over the joke you made about the metal barrel for the Jagdtiger. Also, I started doing cast textures on 1/72 T-55s using Mr. Surfacer 500. Not quite as intense but it is great for how little effort goes into prepping the stuff. I love your channel.
I've already fiinished the construction, after this video I found some detail to be improved, so... disassamble some parts, texture, and lets start again before painting, thanks!!!
I am building a Leopard 2 A7+ from Meng, and the tracks themselves demoralized me to the point I stopped working on them. I might just glue the visible pieces on. Good kit, but for $80 it’s kinda worth it, I guess, love your videos and I learn a lot from them!
What an impressive looking model. Not just the part count, but visually that thing put together is so cool. I think it's all that reactive armor, and a lot of the wires and cabling. Can't wait to see the next episode with the paint!
Good luck with this. I built it last year and the mine-roller rig nearly broke my will to live. I recommend the RFM Assault Breacher vehicle after this to see which one causes the most stress!
Really impressive moodel! Those extra added details really make it a work of art. Can you tell us a bit about how the kit supplied tracks go together? Can't wait to see this painted.
just wanted to say something nice because i think you deserve way more subscribers than you currently have. your videos are amazing and they genuinely make my day.
I got hold of some of the VMS debonder a couple of weeks ago and it worked amazingly! The last debonder i had just used to turn both the plastic surface and the debonder glue to a goo like mush and would cause more problems than it was worth. This VMS one is well worth buying
Drive sprocket interconnects with the outer growsers/track pin connections; while the wheels ride along the flat two inner lanes. Bet you should of kept the wider stance.
This is absolutely insane! Seeing as this is a vehicle _meant_ to get blasted with explosives, I hope you'll do it justice and truly _torture_ that front when it comes to weathering!
Sometimes I think I really want to get into model making. Then I watch one of these videos and realize a certain kind of masochistic madness is required
That's a heck of a machine just as is! Your work is amazing as ever and I can't wait to see what comes next for it! (All that detail overlapping though, painting it's gonna be hard work...)
Very nice model, Uncle. Modern mines can be laid by hand, or scattered from cluster bombs. They can be pressure sensitive, sound sensitive or magnetic sensitive (proximity sensors). They can also be set to detonate randomly, or to switch off for a while when a nearby mine detonates, all to demoralise an enemy who will be too frightened to clear them manually, hence the mine clearance tanks. This particular tank looks as though it can clear pressure mines using the rollers, and plough up mines between the rollers. It can possibly detonate mines remotely using magnetic fields or noise generators, but a major issue would be shaped-charge, directional mines, hence the ERA additions to the hull. It may use the MG for remote deflagration of bombs and mines. It may even have defences against top-down attack from parachute mines that can optically target vehicles by spinning around as they drop.
Meng does put out some real monster kits! I've their M1 Assault Breecher in my stash along with their T-90, Panzerhaubitze & M2A3 Bradley. Great job, Martin! Can't wait to see next week's video!

Just finished after school class and the notification drops, Friday just got a whole lotta better :D
Same
Thats exactly what I thought too.
Been quite depressed lately, your positive energy and beautiful models have really cheered me up! Thanks man!
Stay strong and take care!

This would be a terrifying build when I’m still building the lower hull of the takom blitz jagdtiger
make sure to superglue those road wheels together and you're golden!
@@NightShiftScaleModels that is exactly what I did

"As you can glimpse in the background, I also modeled and printed individual reactive armour bricks...."
Me looking at the K-Wagen: 🧐
Nice catch! It's in 1/200 scale, 1/100 wouldn't even fit on the print bed 😆
>Me after watching jagdtiger series
"It fits perfectly"
: )
"In fact, too perfectly"

Hey uncle, can you try to build a kit from a “gift kit”, the ones with everything included and just use what us in the kit? I feel like it would be funny to see how someone good at modelling deals with beginner things
Haha, that sounds like a really painful challenge 😁
@@NightShiftScaleModels we believe in you
@@NightShiftScaleModels Yea! I know its painful but for a novice those gift kits are all we have
@@NightShiftScaleModels I would really like to see that.
I've been having a pretty crap day mentally, so seeing this video in my feed gave me an enormous sense of wellbeing. I'm really looking forward to this series.
Fairly sure the "thick" cables are hydraulic lines to the mine rollers. Awesome model!
yeah, either that or pneumatic
Uncle night shift torturing himself again
This one was a treat 👌 Meng kits are awesome
@@NightShiftScaleModels Dear Mr. Night Shift , I really enjoy watching your videos , I find your narrative fun to listen to
Anyway , I would like to share one of my techniques for chipping , I have many more for photoetch ,
texture and coloring that I would like to share with all modelers , only not the time to devout to my own channel
perhaps you could try these and do a video ?
Hmm , Chipping , you need a piece of scrap styrene , diluted white glue and silver leaf , not foil
paint a light coat of glue on the styrene , allow to dry until tacky , then lay the leaf on top , Don't worry
about the wrinkles , with your bare index finger start tapping the leaf , you will notice tiny flakes build up
on your finger , then just go tap your finger on the grab hooks , edge's , what ever ,
You need to experiment tapping the leaf to make smaller or larger flakes as desired ,
I have tried other tools beside my finger , a brush quickly gums up at the tip , sticks don't transfer well
after you have chipped you can do a light burnish to seat the flakes ,
Hope you try this

ideal for winter lockdown, especially when it has 1000+ parts

I have always been impressed with modellers doing even the simplest models, it takes alot of time and precision. You mate, you are on another level.
Beautiful proyect 😍! Take advance of the movile torsion bars to create a diorama passing a obstacle.
It's a lovely 1,300 piece kit. Now I'm going to add even more bits. Love this Channel!
That thing is massive ! both the model and the real vehicle. The armor texture is the icing on the cake. Can't wait to see the finished product.
I loved the tracks on the Meng BMPT kit.
If you cut the main track parts with a scalpel at the correct angle there is almost no cleanup required. Same for the central guide horn parts. The outer parts are rubber and have their sprue gates on the inside, so cleanup is pretty much no visual factor at all.
For an injection molded kit this is pretty amazing.
You HAVE to build one of your scenic bases for it...it's so insanely cool that it deserves one
Uncle Nightishift could build a tank made out of stick and stones I would still be watching ! Great project
The amount of detail you add to every one of these models makes my sleep deprivation worth it. I love every one of them... super jealous
To save you a little research time i can tell you any vehicle like this that has a welded together body is going to have multiple pass welds so you can just go ahead with your texturing method. Great video 👍

Simply put, that many pieces and parts would scare the he'll out of me!!! Well done looking forward to watching the whole painting process.

I cannot wait to see this painted. The mess of wires on the front looks absolutely amazing
I really appreciate that kit manufactureres make models like this. Military vehicles are much mote than tanks, trucks and guns.
Thanks Uncle Night Shift, I'm about to start a Tiran 4 interior kit from MiniArt. I was nervous but this video gave me the boost I needed!
Now that's a lesson in super detailing. Looking up .4 lead wire and .2 wire for future builds. Can't wait for the next video.
I admire your great attention to detail. Even unpainted the model looks really good.
I've already fiinished the construction, after this video I found some detail to be improved, so... disassamble some parts, texture, and lets start again before painting, thanks!!!
I think that if that "tank" was kitbashed with a turret, it could look like a modern KV-1 due to that hull design.
Dear Martin, Outstanding workmanship once again! Looking forward to watching you paint this beast! Kind Regards Johnny

I'm now prepared to do my Trumpeter T-80BVM with over 1000 parts
Lovely!
what I'd love to see though is a diorama with 2+ 1/72 scale tanks in it

Wow, that's an absolute beast. Can't wait to see the painting process on this.👍
Wow mate. Beautiful job, looking forward to seeing it dressed up in green
Dude, I swear. You are insane. You have so much attention to detail, its crazy. Well done man!
Amazing!. I don't think I will ever attempt to build this one,but I will use some of the techniques you showed on my 40k minis.
Wow! You are a top notch modeller! Beautiful build dude!
Good luck with this. I built it last year and the mine-roller rig nearly broke my will to live. I recommend the RFM Assault Breacher vehicle after this to see which one causes the most stress!
Love this build! All the extra details are perfection. This is why I look fwd to Friday’s. Great Job!
Uncle nightshift once again does More than he needs to and even makes the barren model quite good looking if i say so myself
Looking rally forward to seeing you paint it!
Thank Goodness It’s Night Shift Friday’s!
Great build! Looking forward to the painting!
8:35 don't think we didn't see the cheeky Grösskampfwagen in the background!
Really impressive moodel! Those extra added details really make it a work of art. Can you tell us a bit about how the kit supplied tracks go together? Can't wait to see this painted.
Super mega modern vehicle!
Also a super mega modern vehicle: it uses the first generation explosive reactive armour "Kontakt-1" blocks.
Thanks for the build! I have this kit at home, maybe I'll follow your tip, and get metal tracks too!
Already know this is going to look amazing when painted
possibly the most visually interesting tank yet
Fantastic build choice, I couldn’t have wished for more.
just wanted to say something nice because i think you deserve way more subscribers than you currently have. your videos are amazing and they genuinely make my day.
Night shift - the only man capable of adding "missing bolts".^^
My god that looks detailed!
I subscribed to Night Shift patreon, and now I can assemble workable tracks 10x as fast! Be like me!
You are really inspiring. Only through this video have I decided that I will now buy myself proper tweezers. :D Thank you so much :)

Oh damn thats a really nice kit, can’t wait for the painting!
Man I love detailed kits but this is next level
Hey. Speaking of cables, check out Polish company calls Eureka they're creating well detail cables with resin hooks. Its cheap and very fine.
That's a heck of a machine just as is! Your work is amazing as ever and I can't wait to see what comes next for it! (All that detail overlapping though, painting it's gonna be hard work...)
Super cool waiting for painting , Greetings Marcin!!!!
At least this was better than the Revell t-80. Good job! Can't wait for the paint job
A different model to say the least. I'm looking forward to seeing the rest of this series.

I love this. The model has 1300 parts. So what's he do? Makes even more parts to add to it. Awesome :)
Nice job. I enjoy Meng kits and considered building this one actually.
