It really is a thoroughly convincing rendition of one of my favourite prototype tanks of WW2. It's been a pleasure. With the kind of work this is, a month is not too long to wait.
I know you probably won't (it's likely just not something you're interested in), but I would love to see you tackle a Warhammer 40k tank or Dreadnought (walker). The detail is much larger and much easier to do (also build) and would likely be perfect for video material while you are busy anyway. This is an absolutely stunning model, congratulations on a job well done and making entertaining videos out of it. This has been a treat, thank you.
Yes, Martin! A wood tutorial would be great! The hardest thing about doing Russian or Warsaw Pact subjects is making the ditching log look right! Awesome work on the Type 5 Chi-Ri!
I loved the fact that you put the recap of all the techniques used, it helps remembering the whole process. On a side note, when you finish such a nice model with a story depicted on it what you do is not go to another one I'm afraid. What you do is create a lovely base for it so it looks in place, rather than a white background.
Chi-Ri vypadá skvěle! Všechna ta práce se vyplatila! Jinak za sebe mohu dodat, že se budu těšit na budoucí epizody/tipy, i když nebudou každý týden. Díky moc za inspiraci a ilustraci různých technik!
This model has been one of the most informative guides to painting and weathering that I've seen posted online. Kind of sad to see it come to an end but I also realize there's only so far you can push something and eventually it's time to call it good and move on. Looking forward to seeing what's next. Thank you!
Martin! This may be the most beautiful tank I've seen in a while. What makes it so good is the subtlety of the effects you use. Yours is most certainly my favorite modeling channel in all of the UA-cams!
Sir, your modelling skills and tips is out of this world, to say the least! I've learnt alot from you so far.....AND I enjoy your humour; modelling must be fun or what.
It's been a pleasure watching this come together. I've learnt so much as wargamer rather than scale modeler, my tanks now realy pop on the table top. Thank you.
Congrats on the finished model. It's an absolute triumph. I'd happily support you on Patreon. I wouldn't need, nor would I expect daily content though :). You are spoiling us with weekly videos as it is! Thanks again.
Martin this was a gorgeous model and paint job. I must say I love your personality. It’s one of the things that set you apart from other UA-cam modelers. Keep up the good work. I’m learning a lot from your videos. Thank you again.
Incredible! I have enjoyed your tutorials so very much. Alas, I think we all appreciate the curse of the majority of many modellers - work! I would definitely sigh up as a patron too! Sincere kind regards Johnny.
Friday night is best night because Night Shift uploads a vid. Amazing work on this right from the word go. You've honestly taken this to another level. Truly amazing work. If you wanted to do shorter vids or vids not so regular whilst you're working; we understand, real life gets in the way of modelling life; bills still need to be paid etc. So no worries mate, always look forward to your vids, even if they were only once a month. Panther in the new year might just be the best xmas present ever. Looking forward to it, and also anything else you do between now and then.
In the words of Tina Turner, "You're Simply the best" Thank you for how much time and effort you have put into this build series :) Dont worry yourself about the working schedule, life gets in the way of modelling at times and we just roll with it :D I have learnt so much from this series. Thank you :D - Ivan
Outstanding work, your method is now my method! You've really cleared up the confusions I had and have followed your steps on my own work. I am very pleased indeed and amazed at how my work turned out! Thanks Martin
Thanks for all the wonderful videos out of this build! The results are amazing! This was really fun and educational for me, in fact I think people like you are keeping this hobby alive. Don’t stress the quantity of videos! I think I could speak for a lot of people when I say the quality of your content is well worth any wait. You can count me in as a Patreon!
Every one of your videos inspires me to build models and I hope one day I can have the patience and skill to build models of your quality. You are simply an artist
Great job. Its looks awesome! HARD wood huh? yup. Hey if you are pressed for time, just do a 3-5minute Tips video or something. Review a couple tools or paints. Stuff like that.
The end result is great! I did only tabletop paintjobs so far and your videos gave me an insight into more realistic style and inspired me to try some.
7:18 this was reenactment then LOL. My friend, mi amigo, it's been a pleasure to share at least a couple minutes in awe with your craft. All in all, this is a killer model which kind of inspired me to pick up again my airbrush (hopefully). See you around!
Amazing journey, learned lots of thing :) And it's a good thing you clarified the schedule won't be the same. Definitely better for you, you shouldn't get anxious to upload every week. Probably better to focus on technique tutorials, as the lack of continuity between those types of videos will probably take a load of your chest
amazing as usual, the final product looks amazing. cant wait for the next project. also a patreon page sounds very cool, would allow us, the fans to like you said get a little bit more nightshift :)
Such a good subject for showing all the possibilities weathering has to offer.Great job,i like the 'sunbleached' grey effect for wood,far superior to brown tones(i use).One thing missing..you need Shimomura Alec 0.15mm 'Holly' scribing tool.Its the tank scribers dream tool.No damaging flat surface pipe or handle is on.
Somehow i feel the same as when finishing great book. I'm looking forward to follow new project. I hope, you will cover it in same manner as this one. All the best!
Great finale Mr Kovac. I paused on the front view of the tank to admire the superb job on those tracks, wow, really impressive, well, the whole tank is impressive, truth be told. As you mentioned Christmas and the winter months fast approaching, it will be time to get back to the bench myself and try out some of these techniques. Last word on this build......fantastic. 👍🏻
9:29 each week you say? Dude, I just binge watched the whole playlist for this model. Excellent work. Love your accent, reminds me of Kovacs from `How to survive`. Looking forward for your next projects.
"We did it....me and all of you " wohhahaha! Epic. What ever is gonna be your next project I don't mind...JUST MAKE IT FUUUNNYYY. Upload for on Sunday morning so I can spit my coffee laughing my ars out Martin. Cheers and thanks.
The hole project was very interesting to watch and I think there was a lot of potential to learn from it! Regarding your working hours: UA-cam is a hobby and should be fun for you. If you don't have time time or don't feel like it - that's how it is. I think we all know that and can understand it. That said, I will be happy about every new video I will see from you. PS: And even if you start the Panther build in 2022 it will be fine. I will be waiting.
Thankyou so much for the series of videos on this tank. I looked forward to each new episode and found them to be highly educational and entertaining. Everything was well shot, well explained and easy to follow which will help less experienced modellers gain the courage to try your techniques and improve their models. Thankyou again Night Shift and I’ll see you on Instagram. Cheers😊👍👍👍👍👍👍
Absolutely stellar model model, that is. Also, another way to make wood look grey and rotted is with steel wool and vinegar (although that might not have the precise control one might desire for some pieces and also it looks better on some woods than others, so ymmv).
Thank you so much for this! And any more that are to come! No need to stress about them. I have learnt so much from your videos so far, I'm applying them to 40k tanks that I do!
I really enjoy your tour off how to paint this model, i learned so much from you, and you bring a big smile on my face whiff your comments. Keep the models coming you bilt, i can’t wait for the next one 👍 Please ad a link for donating by PayPal, i like to donate to your so you can keep up making great stuff and commenting the builds
Watched all the steps along the way, and learned a lot of things that I want to apply to my own models. You have a very good technique for producing the videos and the techniques can actually be seen while you do them.... which means that I actually know what you did. I am getting excited to try some of the techniques on my next model... and frankly, I hate painting. So, for your videos to get me excited to try it is something. Oh, and the model turned out beautifully.... Thank you for sharing.
Excellent job, outstanding result! I just binged this playlist, couldn´t stop watching. Your videos are very entertaining and filled to the brim with know how, methods and tips - a very enjoyable waste of my time; thanks for sharing this stuff! Subbed & best wishes from austria ;)
Your video’s are wonderfully inspiring. I need you to do a Soviet tank, as I have several T-34s, and a Bt-7, T-27... love the wood effects. I have a building I need to work on the wood.
Awesome Monstertank. I don't think I've ever seen tracks on a scale model that looked more realistic. I'll try my best to copy your technique soon ^^ And regarding that "I have a live and won't be able to post a video every week" thing: Don't ever stress yourself into it. That's a thing I learned pretty quickly in my own time as a small UA-camr. Especially in a hobby like ours. Sometimes there are weathering steps that take so much time that it can be hard to motivate oneself to do them even without the additional video-work. Stressing yourself to make a Video for every week can lead to rushing those steps, work unclean and, most important: Not enjoying any of it, neither the painting of the model nor the video-work. So short: Always take your time when you need it ;) No excuses needed
this is so amazing man! watched all your videos of this tank being made a crazy journey full of patience! wish i had this patience :O looking forward to your next project!
It looks awesome dude! I hope my models will look like this in the future, espicially with all the attention to detail... Thats why I love your content!
Love your work Brother, you are my new favorite modeler for Armor, and your videos are awesome 👍🏻🇦🇺 oh and I almost forgot, do you do figurines as well ???
This is one of my most anticipated videos on UA-cam you did such a great job my friend :)
Dude. You absolutely NAILED it!!!!! I only wish I could be 15% as good as you! I'm really happy I got to be a part of this AWESOME JOURNEY!
It really is a thoroughly convincing rendition of one of my favourite prototype tanks of WW2. It's been a pleasure. With the kind of work this is, a month is not too long to wait.

This is an absolutely stunning model, congratulations on a job well done and making entertaining videos out of it. This has been a treat, thank you.
I suppose I'll give a 40k a try at some point :)
This wood painting technique is really great, please consider separate "how to" video.
Very yes.
Man. I wish i had a teacher like you when i was in school. Very well explained yet amusing. Congratulations. You earned another fan
Yes, Martin! A wood tutorial would be great! The hardest thing about doing Russian or Warsaw Pact subjects is making the ditching log look right! Awesome work on the Type 5 Chi-Ri!
This is fast becoming my favorite modeling channel.
Martin its looks so fckn' nice and real, your rust effects are sooooo good. Hope one day i can make all this :)
I loved the fact that you put the recap of all the techniques used, it helps remembering the whole process. On a side note, when you finish such a nice model with a story depicted on it what you do is not go to another one I'm afraid. What you do is create a lovely base for it so it looks in place, rather than a white background.
I hear ya, but in most cases I preferno base for my models. That might change with my future models though!
Chi-Ri vypadá skvěle! Všechna ta práce se vyplatila! Jinak za sebe mohu dodat, že se budu těšit na budoucí epizody/tipy, i když nebudou každý týden. Díky moc za inspiraci a ilustraci různých technik!
Another great build, fantastic weathering techniques once again. Congrats on completing it, I can hear the relief in your voice!
Great Video! Can't wait to see your next project!

I have been building models for 40 years. Nevertheless, i learn something new from you. Thank you for that and greetings from Germany.
I've been building for 23 years :)
I love the fact that you took one model and explained the living s*** out of it. UA-cam really needs more awesome people like you
Incredible! I have enjoyed your tutorials so very much. Alas, I think we all appreciate the curse of the majority of many modellers - work! I would definitely sigh up as a patron too! Sincere kind regards Johnny.
yayyy 😁 thanks!

Wow. You have some of the most detailed videos with such clear instructions. Love your voice btw. Looking forward to your next project.
Your tutorials and tricks are coolest part. Fine to have them instead of full build :)
Wow... that's a great model! Your finish work makes it look like the real thing... full size. Your models would look great as miniatures in film.
Two enthusiastic thumbs up!! Waiting patiently for your next project Martin
In the words of Tina Turner, "You're Simply the best" Thank you for how much time and effort you have put into this build series :) Dont worry yourself about the working schedule, life gets in the way of modelling at times and we just roll with it :D I have learnt so much from this series.

Yes this was a wonderful series I learned so much on to the next model!! Woop
Excellent tutorials mate! Definitely the best modelling videos on youtube!
Amazing work, this series of videos was very informative and fun to watch. Looking forward to more content like this, techniques, tips and bloopers!
Outstanding work, your method is now my method! You've really cleared up the confusions I had and have followed your steps on my own work. I am very pleased indeed and amazed at how my work turned out! Thanks Martin

Amazing work! You are definitely one of the best modelers here on UA-cam! I bet you wont have trouble winning prizes with your work!
I don't compete anymore, don't care for those prizes :)
Hi Martin, I've been eagerly watching this complete series...you did awesome job on this one. Many thanks for such bunch of showcase and inspiration.
Great job. Its looks awesome! HARD wood huh? yup. Hey if you are pressed for time, just do a 3-5minute Tips video or something. Review a couple tools or paints. Stuff like that.

@@NightShiftScaleModels just don't sweat it man. You are already giving out more content than average for this community :D
@@CetoFreakingKaiba yes, I agree.....less in most time, is more!
Absolutely beautiful finish Martin.
Thanks for the videos. This has been inspiring to follow.
Great end to the project Martin really enjoyed this series and Patreon sounds good my friend
amazing as usual, the final product looks amazing. cant wait for the next project. also a patreon page sounds very cool, would allow us, the fans to like you said get a little bit more nightshift :)
Hey there Martin, Great work, very helpful tips and tricks. Luv your sense of humour. Keep up the good work.
Hi Martin - that was great, thanks. Re your future schedule, if it's worth waiting for (and I'm sure it will be) then I'll wait - no pressure. Cheers!
Your content on a daylie basis? Nothing better than that, great idea!

The model came out looking fantastic! Don't worry about your upload schedule. We should all understand that you need to pay the bills. 😉
This turned out quite spectacular, Night. I learned alot of new stuff in this series. Keep up the stellar work!

What an outcome, loved the journey here. Thanks for sharing and I look forward to your Panzer build when you get around to it :D
Fantastic build. And looking forward to what ever you're next project is. Life always gets in the way of fun. Later.
Absolutely superb work Sir, I've thoroughly enjoyed watching you complete it👍👏
It sure has that "OOMPH!",as you said! Great looking model!
I love watching your videos, i learn a lot from them. I really hope to see you do a T34/76 model, i'd love to see how you weather it.
The hole project was very interesting to watch and I think there was a lot of potential to learn from it!
Regarding your working hours:
UA-cam is a hobby and should be fun for you. If you don't have time time or don't feel like it - that's how it is.

You motivated me to work on my panzer 4 night shift thx 😁
Up there with the best, real jedi model maker, work comes first, 1 good video a month is more than ample
Naaah that would be so insufficient!

Absolutely awesome work Martin.
