I know you didn't dig the kit but this small series was one of my favorites from you. Building the tank, adding details, painting and creating the base made it pretty "complete" and it looks amazing IMO. For something so still and barren of human life it manages to feel lived in and draw the eyes to lots of different elements.
Actually scratchbuilding madness made me rethink my life decisions and I started this channel shortly after. It was after I spent 8 months detailing, rebuilding and scratchbuilding pretty much 99% of a 1/35th scale Nagmachon APC. Building superdetailed models is cool and all, but there are just too many other kits to be built.
I am in awe. Seriously, I watched all 4 from start to finish, and it was a better series from any kind of entertainment that Hollywood puts out. Your work is amazing and inspiring.
I love Fridays, not because it's the end of the week, but because of NightShift's videos.👌 I didn't know you had a head either, I thought you were just a floating pair of hands.
About the diorama definition and as a diorama builder , I say that it's not the figures that define it rather than the story your model describe. I mean if this was a blown up vehicle with parts all around and a destroyed building wall by its side, it would tell a story for sure. An abandoned tank in a repair factory with parts like its engine, missing , surrounded by other metal stuff and a lot of vegetation due to abandonment is a diorama too, even without a single figure. This here my friend is just a base , a very good one nevertheless, as your model is just another T90 with a lot of use and some battle damage. I love your work and never miss an episode. Kudos.
Yeah, this was pretty much an experiment in an uncharted territory for me. That's why I chose this type of terrain - I simply had everything needed to build it at home.
I don't care what the judges call it, diorama or scenic base, it's Gorgeous! I watched the whole video and it went from a bunch of junk getting added bit by bit to this terrific scene that really made the model pop! Thank you, Thank you, thank You for showing me another terrific set of techniques and encouraging me to try new stuff!
After a long week of work, there is nothing better than getting home and watching your video, something so small but with so much detail, now I want a printer to do those little details, thanks Martin.
Watching this retrospectively - wow, just the part where you are cutting and shaping the foam for the base shows how far you've come. That and dropping the "Uncle" moniker....! 😊😊😊
Great job Martin! the base integrates seamlessly with the vehicle and it is providing the viewer with a context and a prologue if you will, for the story you wanted to tell. Will let the judges decide if it is a diorama or not.
Wow! A partial face reveal and a Sheperd Paine reference. Truly epic episode. Sheperd Paine's book " How to build dioramas " was a huge influence on us modelers in the 80s. You are my new Shep Paine inspiration. Thanks for sharing Martin
Whem I was making a diorama for my tanks, I asked my mom to pick up foam for me. After i got home from school I come in to see a huge slab of planting foam. This stuff is used for fake plants and breaks apart even by rubbing it with your finger. Wish I had your tools.
I also worked with that florist foam in the past. It works good enough as long as you have solid walls for your base, like from balsa wood or styrene, but overall it's quite messy and not very strong. But it's better than nothing!
If you finish a kit you hated building and you like the end result more than you thought you would , that's a win and you learnt many new approaches. M
I haven't done a scale model since my time in the military, but thanks to your inspiration I am ordering one and plan to attempt your techniques. Thanks!
Hey, I love the commentary, the humour is great, I have learnt a lot to make my 1/35th dioramas much better and much more real, thank you, you top man, I will use your many tips and respect your work 🙂😊
I am completely blown away by this series. Absolutely stunning! I didn't even know I had an interest in modelling. But to me, the sandbags could have used a bit of blending (yeah, I know, all of a sudden I'm an expert).
The youtube algorithm recommended your first t-90 video and i ended up binging all of them. Amazing quality, both in the model and in the production. Subscribed.
This has been a great 4 part series, I was really intruiged when the first video popped up in my reccomended and I'm really glad I watched it because your soothing voice and intrinsic explination is fascinating and I'm definitley going to have to go back and watch all of your old videos.
Your terrain and the items in your 'diorama' set the scene and tell a small part of that tanks story, so you're on your way. Btw for a rusty builder; you did very well, its looks great, Uncle N.S.
I absolutely adore your videos Mister Night Shift, they're informative, funny and the end-results are as always, amazing! Thank you for sharing your hobby with us!
Uncle Night Shift, probably the most excellent technique you have taught me on your channel was how to cut styrofoam with a swift foot to the offending part. Thanks U.N.S.!
I would call this a vignette. And..... it really turned out great. As I understand it, the differences are: Base - a simple stand or pedestal, sometimes with non-descript terrain, for the model to sit on. Vignette - a small setting to place the model in a general or specific terrain/environment that doesn’t necessarily tell a story, usually no figures are incorporated but may have up to three. Diorama - typically larger settings designed to tell a story through the placement of the focus model and numerous supporting pieces that often include terrain, structures, “vegetation”, multiple vehicles and/or equipment & figures. I really enjoy making dioramas, because I like to see if people get the story I’m trying to tell, and you can hide “easter eggs” that can really pull people into studying the piece much closer to noticing the detail.
It's always good to put a face to the voice.😁 I really like how you handled the base..especially the rough edges of the terrain. Like you said...the dark color brought out the terrain shape even more. Really nice work on the kit & base. Great project.
For me it's really simple. Scenic base is just that. A scenic/fancy looking base for a miniature. You know, like the one space marines are placed on. Diorama is scene, mainly from history or conveying some story, with models in it. What you made is more of a scenic base. Add a miniature crew member looking at the burned armor plate (while smoking to emphasise his nervousness) and it is a nifty little diorama.
Hey night shift, i have a nice tip for the paste you use. 1. Use a flat surface to slap it on the base (make it flat). 2. Let it dry for 10-20min. 3. Use a Sponge slitghly dapped in water to make a nice ground like texture on the surface. 4. Let it dry propperly for 24 hours.
Wow! I don't understand why you say that, "dioramas aren't really my thing...", as you clearly bring the same level of skill and detail to the setting that you do to your models. To say that I'm impressed would be a severe understatement. As always, thanks so much for sharing. Steve
I always leave your videos for last in my morning routine of youtube binging. Not because it's my least favorite thing but it's more like that last perfect bite you save during a meal to make it oh so much more memorable.
For the next project you should consider doing the miniart 1:35 Australian m3 lee with the interior kit. Be very interesting to see how you’d price up an already impressive interior
Definitely, a diorama tells a story. Add a guy checking the oil on that scenic base, and it becomes a diorama. :D The finished piece is amazing as usual.
Wow, the base turned out great, it's so good to see you try something new :) As for the question, I think we can call the base a diorama when the vehicle isn't the main focal point, but the entire scene and the "interactions" are. When the main focus of a base is only a vehicle/figure, then the base is only a background.
I don't comment much in general, but I have to say. This project was the one that the youtube algorithm introduced me to the channel with. Even though I have pretty much 0 experience in modeling you did a fantastic job all around. I remember having a Revell kit from a local hobby shop back when I was like 8 years old (A Ferrari of some sort if I'm remembering right) but I specifically remember the pieces fitted together like total ass. And I never thought to detail with paints and stains, incredible the work that can be done. Subscribed and will be looking through your library as well as future videos, and may entertain the idea of getting a model myself.
good to know that your backyard looks like my backyard / basement ;-) . Your scenic base looks great.....and I like the logical normal step by step work how you made the base ...
Uncle night-shift you should also put the blade guard on.!! When you want everything square and flat start by getting one surface flat then that face is placed against the fence of the saw for the next cut then rotate the piece 90° After that, provided the blade is at 90° to the bed and the fence is parallel to the blade, keep rotating the piece 90° untill every side has been trimmed. It's helpful to put a pencil mark on each side you've cut so it can go ageist the fence .
Another entertaining show! I feel what you created was a diorama. The details popped, even though there wasn’t “concrete” on the cinder blocks! 😜. I look forward to another base/diorama/whatever. Thank you for a nice break from pandemic monotony.
I must agree with your preferred definition. A scenic base displays a single scene, an instant in the life of the thing you're modeling- it may have a history but you know nothing about its future. A diorama is a moment in a story *and* tells you (or gives hints about) what happens next. It's more like a frame from an action movie. So yeah, that's a scenic base. I'm not too sanguine about using printed parts though. Kind of takes the manual skill thrill out of fabricating custom parts. Also, nice AvE bit in your garage!
Looks fantastic, I specially liked the difference in color on individual stones, makes it look a lot more realistic. Uhm yeah, is not exactly a diorama since is not telling a story or there is no action, however is giving the model a context which makes the whole scenery quite interesting. Excellent job !!!
Super job....is it a vignette...maybe???? Your commentary is such a laugh.....but great to listen to, especially the tips. Can't wait for next Friday 👏🏻
I know this is an older video, but it was cool to hear Shephard Paynes book used as a reference. I have three of his books and go back to his techniques today as they are brilliant. Great scenic base. I think a diorama needs at least one figure to help it tell some sort of story or set a scene, but there's no hard and fast definition. Nice work on the model and the base!
I'm want that warhammer terrain was colored and made with same effort and passion in clubs. Awesome, just... wow. And very inspiring to try something with my own models and miniatures, thank you for this!
Hi Nightshift. When I build tracked vehicles, i fill the hull with cretestone (plaster of paris will work). It adds weight, so the vehicle doesn't levitate off the tracks and the model feels sturdier. Thanks for the vids - i've been using your techniques and my models are definitely looking the better for them!!!
Nice diorama (or what ever it is). For cutting expanded polistyrene (the white one), I always use a special knife blade on the jig saw (like the Bosch T 113 A), very safe, and superb cut surface.
Fantastic end to this build! Thank you. One thing that seems to make its way into the desert is plastic (bags, industrial waste, etc) - the ever-present wind catches the plastic on any possible edge, and the degradation from sun and wind is fast, leaving torn parts and bits around things like cinder block edges, dry vegetation, other debris. I’m not sure how this could be worked believably into small-scale environments, just an idea that I had as you were making this. Good day, Uncle!
Uncle Nightshift... whole legend destroyed since now I know you work in daylight!!!! And very nice result for a project you did not like in the beginning!
If you want more pronounced tank/tire tracks, try air drying modelling clay for just the road part. It holds its shape perfectly, is easy to paint and incredibly cheap. I always keep spare track links and tires just for that.
Something i like about your videos is when i think that what you've done looks great. There is still five or ten minutes left of the video and i watch it improve more.
AK, Tamyia, Ammo and a lot of others owe you a couple of hundred Euros comission. This series ingnited my love for scale modeling a year ago and I have lost track how much money I spent on it 🙂

Uncle night-shift you should also put the blade guard on.!!
When you want everything square and flat start by getting one surface flat then that face is placed against the fence of the saw for the next cut then rotate the piece 90°
After that, provided the blade is at 90° to the bed and the fence is parallel to the blade, keep rotating the piece 90° untill every side has been trimmed.
It's helpful to put a pencil mark on each side you've cut so it can go ageist the fence .
This is one of the best bases I've seen. And I'm a big fan of Luke Towan.
I just cannot believe that is your first base. Incredible.

Hi Nightshift. When I build tracked vehicles, i fill the hull with cretestone (plaster of paris will work). It adds weight, so the vehicle doesn't levitate off the tracks and the model feels sturdier.
