A Nightshift video without a tank?! I love it!
It's small, minimalistic (the shell and the figure with some background) scene makes it stand out and really tell a story.
It's really exciting to watch you grow as a modeler.
I must say i was sceptical of the new video schedule but now i can say with confidance its so much better love seeing the model come to life all in one vid
You took two random items that you ran across while cleaning and created a beautiful piece of art. Amazing as always. I'm not a big fan of tanks but your work and explanations of what you're doing and why are enough to bring me back any time I see that you've posted a new video.
When you let your mind be creative, you can build a nice vignette from anything! You've got some unused tank tracks and a figure in your stash? Boom, scrapyard vignette!
Same here.
@@NightShiftScaleModels Hello
I'm a big fan and plastic model Beginner.
I'd like to take a video, too. I'd like to know which camera and lens you use.
Thank you.
What kind of grey foam do you use and where can you get it?
@@NightShiftScaleModels Hi, I am replying to this post as I was not sure how to get ahold of you. I received a reply to my post saying I had won a prize and to message you on Telegram. This seems like a scam.
You are not a modeller, you are an artist! In 2 words, absolutely amazing!
37 mins of Night Shift… yes please!
Im from Poland, Warsaw Uspring 1944💪 Great diorama.
If I had to use one word to describe Martins approach it would have to be 'harmony'. Everything is harmoniously arranged built and blended until every speck of trademarked dust looks like it belongs. Fantastic to watch.
That's a huge compliment and I appreciate it a lot! Achieving harmony in every part of the scene was tough for me at first (years of experience with armor and none with landscapes and figures) and I always envied the diorama masters for having everything so balanced! :)
@@NightShiftScaleModels practice has definitely made perfect. Silly as it may seem, I am always in awe of the foam brick walls, watching them come to life is brilliant!
This vignette is probably the best I’ve ever seen you do! Simple and extremely effective! I love the way you paint your figures. Once again, simple and effective!
I was thinking the exact same thing. Everything in such perfect harmony.
What I really love visually here is that most of the setting - the floor, shell, bricks, and ceiling - is horizontal, but the scene is framed by two single vertical pieces - the guy on the left and the doorframe on the right.
This seems to allow for all the detail in the floor and brick wall while still letting key parts like the guy and the shell stand out.
Really amazing setup here, Night Shift!
Whoah, and I never even thought about that! While composing, I was too preoccupied with the wall and the ceiling :)
@@NightShiftScaleModels you tend to downplay your talents, but I’d be willing to bet that with your talent and experience, you’ve developed a very good instinct for what works when framing or laying out a scene, even when you’re not consciously aware of it.
Whether it’s tanks, crew, or scenery, you always produce fantastic results and with solid techniques. Your brickwork and concrete in this video are both better than I’ve seen in a lot of terrain videos - you’ve really become just an all-around talented modeler.
Great work, thank you for doing a Warsaw Uprising inspired project, it is special! a few funfacts:
- the unexploded shell was disarmed by Polish engineers and extracted explosives were used for making hand granades
- the shell was not extracted until 1965 and is on display in Polish Army museum nearby
- use of rebar is 100 per cent accurate - Adria was built in 1930s using reinforced concrete, and on some after-war photos of its ruins you can actually see a pieces of concrete hanging like in your diorama - the whole builing was rebuild and still exists
- since the war, several of these unexploded shells have been found in Warsaw - even around 20 years ago they found one when building a subway station
- the concrete platform the Germans build for Ziu still stands in Sowinski Park
- about the figure - I see you painted a german Panzerwaffe soldier, but the soldiers on your reference photos are from Polish Home Army - the germans were only able to reach Adria after the Uprising surrender, but at that point the building laid in ruins and basements were blocked with rubble; yes - polish fighters used german uniforms (never seen a panzerwaffe, buth it,s possible) but without german insignia and the had a white-and-red armband on their right arm
Cheers!
Thats the „new“ Uncle Night Shift aka Martin, who does NOW what he wants and in the speed he feels well. We like the „new“ Martin!
I love that sagging broken concrete. Looks amazing as always, uncle!
My friend, I hope you enjoyed doing this one as much as we’ve enjoyed watching you create yet another masterpiece.
Absolutely love this. The diorama aspect and realistic buildings are my favorite parts, so I’m all for more of these style dioramas!
The mortar project continues to be a gift that keeps giving. A very cool display!
Things like this really made me feel good. It just goes to show, that with very little you can make an awful lot! With two pieces that most people would've put in a box and forgotten about, you've made a visual story. And at the end of the day, that is exactly what this hobby is about in my opinion!
Well, Martin, you really transisioned from being an armor modeller into an full blown scale artist! Can't wait to see your next projects, man!
This is fantastic. A small vinyette like this really supplements the larger Carl mortar nicely
you don't need to feel like you sinned, it's called innovating with what you have, it's a big part of the creative process!
The square wall corner offset at an angle from the square vignette edges is such a great looking compositional choice
First off, Love the scene, it does the reference photos proud. Second I'm liking the new format, I always prefer longer videos, I just don't like waiting for them.
One of your best in my opinion! would definitely love to see more small dioramas
This is one of my absolute favourites of all your builds. Loving the format of a whole build and paint in one video. Absolutely fantastic, and an inspiration to my own modelling!
“Build your models don’t just collect them”
That is the wisest thing I have ever heard in the miniature world
There was a time I was doing well with that...
@@ScottKenny1978 We all start that way…
@@SherlockSpiner I was spending an hour or two a day painting then.
And now for something completely different is great advice.
Definitely looking forward to the next project, whatever it may be.
You make me breath in and out. Some time hold my breath, and some time burst with joy.
WOW!!! Such detail in a postage stamp diorama. Beautiful.
This is probably my favourite project so far. It's small... But just oozes so much character and story
I thought this was an excellent excursion away from the usual vehicle model. I often find I need a "palette cleanser" after doing multiple tank/vehicle models. I think this was a great way of showing all modelers what you can do with just a couple of left over parts, or the many figure models we have in our stash. This model definitely tells a story and I think is a good counter point to the many other dioramas and vignettes you have done. So, my friend, I hope you had fun with this and I'm looking forward to more!
Great job and the part I love most is how the scene comes into it's own... Like a tanker was tasked to help set up an outpost in a building in a small town they just won and found one of Karl's shells and is now wondering "Ok what now?"
A great way to start my morning, a cup of coffee and a Night Shift video.... thank you.
Amazing, I realy love this vignette. Yes please lets have more of this.
This is crazy good Martin! It is great to see you getting these kinds of results with new techniques! I like seeing the smaller builds too, especially if they help you find a new way to do things.
That concrete texture was absolutely incredible! Your urban dioramas have become the golden standard for texture, your painting and weathering style compliments it so well! Amazing work!
My Friend, much had already been said describing this vignette.. out of rubble comes another Craftmanship build using two left over items from previous builds, your imagination is impeccable..
The top, whether to call it the second floor, or whatever, is fabulous. One if my favorite treatments you have done.
Love these mini dioramas! So many useful techniques and tips! Glad you had this happy accident of having the leftover shells and perfectly posed figure.
I love that you did a TINY scene. It gives me more confidence to try experimenting on my own, with limited display room :)
As always, it's amazing to watch you create..
Gorgeous. Absolute work of art.
The fact that you had a lot of fun really came through on this video & the results were fantastic! I don't know how extensive your stash and parts/spares bin is, but another fun palette cleanser might be to kitbash what you think would be the ultimate ww2 tank. The comments section would undeniably turn into a mess, but given your extensive knowledge of armour, i'd love to see your take on what the combination of best suspension/wheel system, armour, main gun, etc would look like.
did you just say "Machinen Krieger????"
damn. cant wait.
i've never built or painted tanks, i was always on scifi model kits. and i subscribed to your channel to try and pick up techniques that i can implement on scifi models. now that you are hinting on scifi model kits, it has come full circle!
Watching you make buildings/ruins is my favourite part of your content :)
For a small diorama That packs a big visual punch. Well done.
I would like to think that if I watched this, I might be able to copy your technique, but I was fooling myself. You have a special talent which few people have. Outstanding job!
wow. the shading and detail on the guy looks great. bomb looks real nice too.
Thank you , Uncle Martin .
🐺
Klassic , well done , and thank you .
🐺
Outstanding job on that diorama. If you want to continue with these small dioramas go for it.
F****n' well done! And watching longer videos Is actually more pleasant than watching smaller ones!
While as someone from Warsaw I really appreciate the topic, I really think that if you wanted a figure in this diorama it should be of a partisan sapper. They actually took explosives from this shell and made grenades from it.
Damn, your painting is out of this world! In any of your projects.
And I love this little vignette!
Cheers!
New, longer form of your videos works great. It's cool to see the process from start to finish in one episode.
I finished the same figure last week and must say that the quality is really top notch. Overall all vignette looks great, especially concrete cellling and brick wall. Can't wait to see your next project
I would like to watch you do smaller dioramas. It's tempting to make ever-larger Dioramas, but these small ones with a lot of passion will always outshine anything made under duress to impress.
Wow that video of the shell ricocheting off of the ground was pretty awesome! Great build! Love the channel!!
Definitely would love to see more of the same! I enjoy all your builds, but love thr longer fotmat that goes through the build from concept through to fruition. Gives time to go into what you are doing. Obviously it won't work for all projects, but yeah, loved this video. Thank you!
A Diorama should always tell a story. That's why I love vignettes so much. On a 7x7 place, there is more story than in a monster diorama. Amazing!! Go on like that!
Absolutely fantastic! as always! i know nothing about modelling (except what I've "learned" from your videos) so it is difficult for me to critique... but there is one important detail missing in your diorama - it's the riffling engagement ring (ring with stripes visible on the example photos @1:11). A minor thing but still ;) a fired shell would have the ring marked with multiple stripes.
Slowly going through all your vids, looked at other tubers doing the same stuff for ideas, yet yours are just another level, even your descriptions are very informative.
Very talented sir..
It's fantastic considering what you started with.
More importantly you've helped inspire me to take up modelling again after a break of 34 years.
I've just ordered my first ever airbrush set up with birthday money. I plan on building the Tamiya Dragon Wagon and probably a Sherman to sit on it.
I also need to rebuild my modelling tool kit. All my old stuff was stored at my mother's and she ended up throwing everything away years ago.
Welcome back Mark . Your Dragon Wagon rig sounds cool . I had a similar experience with my father chucking away all MY models and gear . Admittedly he was going through a nasty time in his life. Start again bud .
@@peterbellwood5412 Thanks. It arrived yesterday. I'll probably have a good look at it tomorrow morning.
@@markstott6689 I often spend 30 mins or so simply drooling over the quality of the mouldings and details . Then however long it takes to really study the instructions and perhaps making a note of possible problems or extra care required with a part or sub-assembly . I've got several models on the go at present . I might try and finish one soon . All the best , mate . Enjoy .
You sir are an inspiration!! I absolutely love it!😮
That's very realistic. The shell is extremely well done.
That vignette turned out fantastic!!! Thank you Martin for sharing your talents with us. I can't wait to see what you do with the Ma.K figures you just got!!
I like it. It’s good to go on hiatus from what you usually do, reinvent your art, put your old work under a rock, lift the rock up occasionally and maybe go back to it later but don’t worry about it.
Whatever projects you choose to do in the future it's the groundwork, rubble and structures that go with your projects that are so unique and worth watching for me.
You are absolutely talented! This was a treat. Thank you.
I'm another person that isn't here for tanks specifically, just to watch you work and hear about your techniques. I love this vignette, and look forward to more!
Martin, this was very interesting for me. Thank you. It was great to learn of new products with different techniques.
You seem to be able to make this type of stuff simple with great results. All of your non-armour projects have been just as interesting as the tanks. Keep it up.👍
absolutely amazing there sir, i know im not the only one that would love to see you do more of this, keep the great work, stay save sir
This is awesome and making it out of 'leftovers' is a great way to fuel creativity. Diversification is a good thing! Cheers, Chris.
fantastic use of spare parts and story telling in a small model. more please
This was such an amazing lesson. Amazing model
Amazing subject! You made it look easy, not to mention how simple items can turn out a great build, please continue them. I'm always learning from your videos.
This video turned up, I don't know why I watched it, but I'm glad I did.
What a fantastic result. 👍
I absolutely love this small but powerfull storytelling builds, its like Zen...simple but deep
This is one of my favorite of your videos to date, really like the format and instruction was clear.
Great little vignette Martin!
Looks fantastic and I love your figure painting techniques!
Thanks for sharing your great work mate as usual ❤😊
I love the new format of your video. Just amazing work as usual. Cheers from Canada
I love it! Great use of spare parts, and a great piece all by itself. Beautifully executed.
Always an outstanding video, build and presentation.
You absolutely nailed that concrete, it looks incredible
i have to say, i found myself in a rather dark place the past few years, and your videos have been a shining bright place for my heavy mind, all i need is to hear you say "my Friend" and my mind set shifts to enjoying your dioramas and build videos, even when i cant find the energy to enjoy the hobby myself anymore. so thank you for you wonderful warm personality and fantastic content. im vary proud to call you, My Friend.
I absolutely LOVE this!!! Your "simplified" method of figure painting looks better than my professional work. I think you have a great idea; run with it. Gorgeous work as usual, muh friend.
Looks absolutely amazing. Great job.
Great work, love these small scenes! I find it ironic that people insist on using terms like vignette and diorama but a small composition like this can tell just as much a story as a much larger diorama. Kind of like this video, lol!
I just want to say thank you. Your videos have helped me in so many ways from helping me fight my depression to getting me in to building models. I just finished my first full model today of a m41 walker bulldog. With your tips and tricks it has made it fun and easy to build and add details to the tank I would have never dreamed of. So thank you and keep up the amazing work.
Hello Duncan . I'm in that fight too . The 'Black dog' of depression , as well as chronic ill-health from birth . May I wholeheartedly agree about model-making bringing genuine relief and also offer you a well-done ? My Doctor suggested these 'new-fangled' plastic kits to my father . I was a very poorly child, and often on life-support . So he gave them a try . I was 4 in 1955 and I was hooked ! My 1st kit was a tiny Wright Biplane in Pink plastic . My older sister was given a Viking 'Longship' in Brown plastic . Shortly after that I got Airfix 'official' No 1 , the delightful Grey Ferguson tractor . Apart from really bad days , I'm still building and customizing . All the best my dear friend . I'm also on twitter if/when you need a caring ear or simply a chat . Pete
one of my favorite videos you have done, because its nothing like the rest. To take something so small to make it so impactful amazing job
I really liked this project. Fast and fun video show casing several different building and painting techniques.
Maybe turn this into a series? Make small viniettes using left over parts from other projects.
Great vignette off two random off the wall subject materials telling a great story.
Tvoje transformace (fyzicka, modelarska i mentalni) je uzasna. Cely ten pribeh, kdy jsi zacinal modelarit, rostl na mezinarodni scene, spolupracoval s Adamem a zakotvil mezi nejuspesnejsi influencery teto branze. MiG se stal podnikatelem, ale kdo vi zda ty nebudes druhy Verlinden😂
UA-cam ti patri jiz dnes 👍🤙 a kolo te provazi cely zivot, coz je skvele!
Reminds me of Ten Seconds To Hell (1959) with Jack Palance and Richard Chandler. Always love watching your work. Thank you.
That brick inside pushing tool is the coolest thing I've ever seen. That wall is amazing!
Such a wonderful little vignette made of what are basically spare parts. Simply outstanding work...I love it!
I would love to see more of these videos about really small scenes, it was so fun, and the diorama looked incredible at the end!
Bricks and concrete texture ideas are great!
One word - inspirational (as always). The most reassuring thing for me is that you clearly still have the love for the hobby! Long may we have you driving us on to better things!
Love it. Please more of this little Diorama. Thx for show us
This is such an incredible use of random left overs and real world inspiration, I love it! The figures expression is just absolutely perfect 😂
just brutal. You know why? Because it has much more life than a simple tank. Its much more evocative. Sincere congratulations
I'd love to see more vignettes. I found this build way more satisfying than some of your previous builds for some reason.
Have to say, you nailed this one! Great idea, great techniques, and a great video. Thanks very much for this one!
