    Hey, Night Shift....I know you are not totally in love with the tank, but I honestly think that this might just be one of your best dioramas so far. The whole piece is very pleasing to the eye, well balanced and well executed.

    The S.35 is one of my favorite tanks ever. You did it justice with this diorama. And with your injury, this is quite an achievement. Well done! I hope you'll get well soon.

    Dear Uncle Night Shift,
    I fell off a ladder last month and broke both of my heels. I had just gotten an Eduard photoetched detail set for my Wespe. Alas, my poor Wespe and all of my other projects languish on my desk while I bang and scratch my walls up in my wheelchair.
    I appreciate your videos so I can do my projects vicariously through you, especially since I know you are going through a similar ordeal. Cheers!

    This is such a joy to watch, I love it. As for the tank; personally I love the quirkier tanks and it's a nice break from the standard Shermans and Tigers. Might I even suggest you do a Italian Tankette diorama or something?
    Get well soon and I can't wait for the Jagdpanther!

  • @khakiwolf4146
    @khakiwolf4146 Рік тому

    I still find it crazy that you create the ground work and make it look super realistic with the soil, tracks, grass, dirt, stones, etc. And then you paint it all black and paint over it. It looks so real and lifelike before you paint it. XD

    I know you said you weren't passionate about the tank, but because it's rare to see these types of vehicles modeled, it really screams early war and serves as an eerie reminder of a very hard time. Really well done really nice job, and a great diorama. Sorry to hear about your broken leg, hope it heals great!
