You probably won't see this in the sea of comments but the model is gorgeous. I appreciate the painting on the shells and the over all weathering. Over the last few months of watching your videos I've steadily been trying various techniques and ideas talked about in your videos and they have greatly improved my own work. Keep it up! I'm always looking forward to the next video.
The most realistic model I've seen in a long time. You're truly a master and it gives all of us something to aim for so please keep doing what you do so well.
Beautiful! I've never done a tank model but I want to now! A neat grease effect is to mix up a small batch of vaseline with food colouring gel and apply with toothpick. No it will never dry and is applied last over your surface coat, the fun factor is if someone touches it lol hey it will act like actual packed grease. Still an impressive example thank you uncle night shift!!!
Another fantastic looking armour model, well done. I really admire your approach to wearhering and the fact you work to produce a model that is interesting to look at and not just a replica of a reference photo. If you are looking for an experiment on a future project, try using acrylic paints for pin washing. The trick is to add some liquid soap to my acrylic washes so they behave like enamel washes, (the soap breaks the surface tension and allows the paint to flow like an enamel), but without the smell. And the soap seems to slow the drying time as well allowing for easier clean up. At any rate, thanks for another great video series, gotta love the German cats.
I am amazed by your work. Super detail, great effects. I'm still trying to get the simple things down , I'm not even close to doing the things you do. One day, I'll get better. . But I sure better hurry up, I'm 58 , clock is ticking. . LoL !!! But really , very, very nice. I'm picking up a little bit everytime I watch. Thanks for sharing your builds.
Love this channel. You really inspire me to push my modelling skills and I love the fact that you are also willing to push your skills too even thou you are a grand master IMO
I have loved this series Uncle! The finished Jagdtiger is awesome. I have completed quite a few of my own models, with unfinished figures being the last piece of the puzzle. I have been hesitant to try them, so I will be keen to watch how you approach the subject next week. Cheers from Australia1
Ive been saving the painting job for this tamiya 1/48 tiger h1 for this upcoming winter break, and ive been trying to watch as many of these videos as i can for inspiration. This is going to be one of my smaller models, but i want it to be one of my most detailed yet
Give me those street cred points for watching every episode! Another excellent series, love all of the stoage and surface details. Can't wait to see you do some figure painting.
Another excellent build. This one is truly a master work. The knowledge you pass on with each video is very much appreciated. I don't build armor kits (unless they have missiles) but I have used many of your techniques on Automotive builds (think exhaust pipes, mufflers, headers) and most of all in building SF3D/Ma.K (Maschinen Krieger) kits. Which are a type of armor I guess. Thanks.
Hey Nightshift! I have an Idea for an upcoming project. What about a starting A4/V2 Rocket or an firing Tank Diorama? I'm interested in this flames/explosion techniques!
Ohne of the Jerrycans you painted was a jerrycan for water. They differ from the other ones because they normally have a karge white cross painted on both sides so the Tank crews wouldnt confuse them with normal jerrycans while refueling
Such a great looking model Martin! You've really made this cat pop! Ooooh, I'm so looking forward to the next video on the figure. Hey if it doesn't turn out send it to me and I'll paint it up and send it back to you... hell, maybe we could do a collab sometime where figures are involved. KUTGW!
Learnt so much on this series...Inspired!!! Stupendous work Night Shift! Thanks for the friendly and casual approach... gives a load of encouragement to attempt at something that would otherwise be a lot more intimidating.
Aircraft safety wire. .020. .040 .062 stainless 301 annealed totally soft spools are 25 yards and helmets are always kept close to the hatches for quick downing
This is so awesome. If you had taken actual jagdtiger photos and photoshopped them to look like a small model, it would have looked less real :P Now i regret throwing out the few tanks i built. With your great videos i could have made them worth throwing out the dining table and my piano for!
Going a bit tank nerd-y for a bit: German tracks usually had wet tracks, where each track joint (sometimes every single bearing, but that varies from vehicle to vehicle and wouldn't apply to ones with wet bushings instead of bearings like Jagdtiger) had a cap that would be filled and refilled with lubricant at regular intervals. This could often get quite nasty and grimey as the tank or half track went along, especially if it got damaged, so that could be a point for adding the grease effects. Anyways, I quite like this model. You've crammed a lot of character into such a large model, and without obscuring any details. Also your having a reference picture of everything reminds me of how some old modelling magazines would have dedicated sections to photos of odd things appearing where they might not be expected, basically as a gentle middle finger to the "that will never happen" kind of people who judge models on 'absolute realism', and that thought amused me a good bit.
Miniart German weapons set have the inside detail on the helmets too mate! There bloody stunning to be honest! I have that feild workshop too the ladders are cool so easy to pin and make them folding closed etc I think I have every set lol and that new petrol pump set is very cool only wish they included clear past for the top glass globe's!
The tree effects look great on the finished model. Have you tried camouflaged netting? As always, your models are amazing and dripping with realistic details!
I am building a King Tiger with my 9 year old son, and this series has been perfect for us to learn what we need to do. It won’t come off so well as “Uncle’s” as some things have been glued at obscure angles, but we’ll do our best
Absolutely fantastic work, been following many of your builds and they are all very inspiring. More than anything I enjoy your casual easy to enjoy video style and it’s really helped me improve. Thanks!
Hey man, thanks for this series! I used a lot of your weathering techniques on my 1/35 hetzer. It's been a while since I weathered a tank, so your videos were really convenient :)
Man, as always... very satisfying video of you weathering a model... just so good! Thinkin about doing a Jagdtiger too soon and trying... just like you.. haha;)
I just want to build one, just one model tank that is half as good. I pray I have enough time left to do it ! The Jagdtiger is 100% PERFECT and your explanations are idiot proof ( I'm in trouble with that part ). Even if we can't build to your level, it's always something to shoot for. Be safe.
I use Humbrol for this rust tone you say you don't get that tone of trust in enamels mate! It's the nicest rust ever and you can thin it and use it in airbrush! I use it for a base tone quite alot but yeah Humbrol definitely do that rust tone you done in track links there mate!
I would like thank you for the tips for this model. I built one using similar techniques from this build. Don't know how to send a DM to you and show you a picture or two. Lots of firsts for me building it. Weld beads, use of actual dirt and sea grass and so on. It turned out pretty good in my opinion.
Turned out well. Photos are the actual secret to realism. At the end of the war, when this vehicle came out; all kinds of odd things were done. Usually, out of desperation. See you guys next week.
Next week: apply chipping and rust tones to a German uniform
Savage
He could probably do it and make it look good!
Spoiler alert: how to add chipping to a set of binoculars :)
@@NightShiftScaleModels How 'bout gold teeth? Finger Nails?
@@NightShiftScaleModels I am excessively excited for the next video now. Love your techniques and style Uncle, keep up the good work
Me: I should be paying attention in class.
Night Shift: Uploads*
Me:
Me at work....often..
Bet you learned more here.
@@ScottKenny1978 I sure did
I'm learning more from NightShift than I am from school🤣. Great job on it. Can't wait for the diorama!

All I can sayis..say is... 😅😅, because...I had the same result!
You've inspired me to take up modeling, I just finished my first model yesterday (Tamiya 1/35 M41 Walker Bulldog) and I'm very proud of it. Thank you
I am currently laying down after spending all day finishing my bulldog (also my first model)
Best tank ive seen yet... the weathering is impeccable
Boy, I'm glad I don't build anymore because I'd have to give it up after seeing all your amazing, superior builds
So glad I found your channel when I was just about to try weathering. Best video quality on UA-cam with such a charming voice!

Worth watching every time , the details speak for themselves regardless of how long it takes .
Another Friday, another relaxing night shift video
I learned so many techniques in your channel.
I love you work from project to project. Thanks for your work. I stay with you. You are a real actor.
Video duration 1945...it's a sign! Excellent work!
easter egg
Don't ever stop! Best videos I've ever seen!
I'm learning a lot.
Keep it up!
The most realistic model I've seen in a long time. You're truly a master and it gives all of us something to aim for so please keep doing what you do so well.
Bro, that’s one of the best armor models I’ve ever seen. Good job 👍🏼
Yessir! Those spent shell casings and those helmets look amazing! Awesome work! Cheers!
Fantastic looking Jagdtiger.
Awesome! And that wire in the end... ;)

The marathon is complete. Thank you for teaching us so much.

What a great.'wrap up' video. I cam hardly wait for your presentation on how you present the figure. 👍
It's a really beautiful model, cant wait for the complete diorama!
Turned out pretty well in my opinion
Me that I think it is the best plastic model ever seen

Love the weathered helmets

Your work is fantastic and yes it may take a while to do the chipping but the result speaks for itself
Keep up the fantastic work
One of the most beautiful models so far, cant wait for the Commander and diorama 😇
Another stellar build my friend! and your right, the photos of it are VERY good!
You my friend, are an artistic modeling genius. Inspiration.

I just cant get past the out of scale decal on the fire extinguisher. Lol. Good work my man

These videos have given me many ideas and ways to improve my subpar models, I really appreciate this channel’s existence.
just phenomenal, I love watching mini vehicle series like these from your channel, they're so fun to watch!
*Build a piece of history is a hard work, beautiful model!*
Hey Nightshift!
I have an Idea for an upcoming project. What about a starting A4/V2 Rocket or an firing Tank Diorama?
I'm interested in this flames/explosion techniques!
Beautiful. In a well-worn, rusted and battered way.
Amazing result as always !
And thank you for sharing your technics and expiriance !
My anticipation is through the roof rn
Aw yeeee, its Uncle Nightshift day.
Ohne of the Jerrycans you painted was a jerrycan for water. They differ from the other ones because they normally have a karge white cross painted on both sides so the Tank crews wouldnt confuse them with normal jerrycans while refueling
This has been a great series to watch. Thank you for taking the time to put this together. The finished tank looks awesome.
Thats one hell of a model Jagdtiger! I love learning your techniques as well, great channel!
Friday night is reserved for Night Shift. Love your work! Stay healthy and safe! Greetings from Athens!
Another great job Martin. I look forward to your vids every weekend, it's never disappointing, thank you.
Such a great looking model Martin! You've really made this cat pop! Ooooh, I'm so looking forward to the next video on the figure. Hey if it doesn't turn out send it to me and I'll paint it up and send it back to you... hell, maybe we could do a collab sometime where figures are involved. KUTGW!
Looking damb cool mate and the foliage is perfect

I seen like 4 videos on youtube titled nightshifts jagdtiger lol . You inspired alot of people with this masterpeice..
I can’t wait for the scene and the commander! I know you’ll make it look great!

Museum quality work here! You are incredibly skilled at finishing work and explaining the reasons for every step. Keep up the good work!
A very fine build and great weathering effects. If I wore a hat I would take it off to you and your great walk through's.
Best work i've ever seen. VERY, VERY NICE.

Great build as always. Have you ever thought about building a model/ scene from an old black and white picture in black and white?
great build. love watching your work
OH YEAHHH IT LOOKS AMAZZINNNNNG!!!!!
caps be worth it
Great series. I really enjoyed the little details, ie shells, helmets(straps) and the foliage camo. Keep up the great work.
Incredible work. Really enjoyed watching this series.

Good job 👍🏼. Would be nice to see a photo of it in a slightly blurred gray tone, just like an old photo from the war.
I love watching your videos at UA-cam at TV!
Absolutely fantastic work, been following many of your builds and they are all very inspiring. More than anything I enjoy your casual easy to enjoy video style and it’s really helped me improve. Thanks!

Ah yes, NIght Shift video while I'm struggling with painting. Good stuff
This series was great. I can’t wait to see how the commander and diorama turn out! It looks like you shrunk a real tank.
Loved this series - can’t wait to see the figure and base!

Those new touches on the intro are very nice 👌🏼
Simply amazing ! Great work !
