The Biggest Diorama I've Ever Built! Watermill in 1/35 Scale
Вставка
- Опубліковано 30 лис 2023
- My friends, sometimes you design a diorama around the model, and sometimes you choose a model for the diorama. This was the latter case because a truck loaded with sacks of flour sounded perfect for a large diorama with a water mill. This is definitely the most complex diorama I've done so far, featuring pretty much every texture you can imagine - bricks, rocks, old wood, grass, dry ground, a cobblestone road, figures, and let's not forget the creek made from epoxy resin!

Disclaimer: I have a good relationship with a handful of modelling brands and stores, namely VMS, Michigan Toy Soldier Company, and AK-Interactive. As such, I'm happy to use their products/services, and show them in my work. In return, they support my efforts in this hobby, although my hands are not bound nor am I obligated to push one brand or the other. This was one of the founding ideas of the channel and I will always stand by this.

I only realised recently and i hope you have too but you are a pillar of the modelling community everyone knows you and follows your guides keep it up!
Dudes a g
Best channel on yt
Love seeing "muh frens" pop up in the comments on all other things
Yes. At least three other modelers have mentioned that they either are doing something they saw Uncle doing or are trying not to do something they saw him do in just the last week.
Gotta say that one thing I really like about him is his willingness to not just step but leap out of his comfort zone. Here he is doing figures like he’s been doing it his whole life, building things that aren’t tanks, and building dioramas. Yes Uncle, some of us remember when you said you’d never build a diorama.
So true. How many figures and tanks do you think there are out there done copying NightShift techniques? I bet it's a lot. Lol
You are by FAR my favorite diorama creator on youtube not only for your detailed creation but also because your helpful commentary. Wish you all the best!
Can we also acknowledge you are a legend for donating
Dear Uncle. Now everyone sees why you changed your style of releasing videos. Its a VERY long video, but VERY GOOD as well. It soothing, detailed and - most importantly - i never felt you would rush through the topic. And thats what you did back in the day when we had weekly videos. So, dear Martin, thank you. Great video (amazing build too!) and a very own unique style too.
There's just something so satisfying seeing the diorama come together
100% !
When the World needs him most he returns!! Looks amazing uncle Night Shift!
It’s always a great day when I see a new video from Uncle Nightshift
Loving the "in person" cameos you added man! Really makes the video production oddly feel more "professional" somehow. THANK YOU FOR WHAT YOU DO.!!!
Thanks! They were very refreshing, and it's something I'd love to keep adding in future videos as well :)
night shift will always be my favourite diorama creator
Out of hundreds of channels I'm subscribed to, this is one of only 4 or 5 that I have notifications turned on for when you release a new one. Always a great video.
THE best 50 minutes of modelling I have ever watched……truly incredible work…..for a man who wasn’t sure about going into dioramas back in the day, too arguably the best diorama modeller on this planet……stunning, stunning piece…….👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Night shift is the reason why I got into this hobby
50 minutes! This will be perfect for tonight, thanks for the upload uncle Night Shift!
Seeing you paint all this wood makes me think painting a wooden ship of some sort would be interesting to see
I bow in the presence of The Master. And your sense of humor is a nice addition. These kind of videos can get somewhat dry just based on the subject itself. A smile once in a while makes it all the better
Friday night. Work done. Whiskey in hand. Dog on lap. New video from Night Shift. Perfect entry into the weekend.
Everytime I screw something up on my model and lose spirit to build them, I watch your videos and all of anger fades away. You are awesome
I am nearing my sixtieth year and have modelled on and off since I was a young boy. Over the years I gained experience and some of the financial means needed to improve and enrich my modelling pleasure. You Sir are awesome! You are a leonardo da vinci of this wonderful hobby and passion we have all become enslaved to! Thank you 🙏 so much for sharing all your hard work and advice it is hugely appreciated. 🤗
Seeing all of this come together slowly just makes me appreciate the work you Put into all of this.Modelling is a great hobby and you help to make the UA-cam community of the Hobby just simply a better płace.Thanks Uncle NS!
RT-DIORAMA Watermill, a true masterpiece 😁🎉🎉🎉🎉
Amazing work! After You painted the lower cobblestone sections, the "horror-look" was completely gone! It's a very nice and cosy scene!:)
This was well worth the wait
This model diorama building channel is by far one of the best here on UA-cam in my humble opinion. As someone who has been doing this type of work for over forty years I’ve seen everything under the sun in terms of techniques and trends . Products good or bad come and go. Model kits horribly produced or perfectly made are everywhere. True talent and most importantly someone who genuinely enjoys what they are doing always catches my eye. Story telling and fun are paramount in diorama creation. You my friend are excelling in those areas. May your imagination and joy never end…
i was REALY looking out for this one as a 15 year old modeler you have realy inspired me thx for that
Glad I get my natural stuff from my “back yard”. Hate to violate your “Trademark”👍🏻😆
I really enjoyed the video and the artwork too!!!
Oh i know you're having fun, well done
Martin, if you want to even out the surface of your wood stain try using a "rubber" as French polishers call it, it's basically a small cloth 'bag' filled with cotton waste that holds the stain, and you can wipe it over a surface to give a really even finish - much better than using a brush.
Sorry for using English terminology, but there's sure to be a video on it to give you an idea.
Miss you uncle! 🤩
Sometimes you just know when you are in the presence of genius.
This is your best one yet! It's been really fun and rewarding to follow your journey in modelling. Thank you, uncle Nightshift!
Always a good day when you post a new video! Thank you for your inspiration!
holy crap thats stunning... puts my simple "Wespe on a road, 3 figures, couple of oil drums" to shame .....
Always a great plesure to see you Mr. Nightshift...
Only one soldier implies that he's the driver. He wouldn't be wearing a pack.
This looks spectacular! There’s always a place for both sides of the diorama coin. Scratchbuilding gives you infinite freedom, but these commercial kits look amazing too. Love it at always, can’t wait for the next one!
Amazing craftsmanship as always!
That blue-green color on the door looks like Haint blue, which was used in the American south to ward off ghosts. On one hand it's ironic that the pop of color meant to make it look less like a horror movie actually made me think more about ghosts, but on the other hand, if the haint blue was effective then the mill isn't haunted, so mission accomplished.
Incredible I cant wait for the day you build this in a 1 to 1 scale :)
this guy not a modeller anymore , he's a truly artist.
Oh wow the birch catkin bits as ivy leaves is such an inspired choice, love the small natural variation in exact shape and size versus store bought foliage
The best diorama I've ever seen. The detailed painting really brings it to life.
Again perfect diorama!!!
I know his is repetitive but this is outstanding. Keep on keeping on.
I actually got a Chevy Ad before the video began XD
When I saw the dancing 3D images first I laughed, then I thought of a diorama of Bing, Danny, Rosemary, and Vera doing the, "I wish I was back in the army" scene from White Christmas.
This is by far the best one you've done. This diorama creates a story that's begging to be written. Have you thought about doing a railroad themed diorama?
one of best dioramas ive seen nice one Martin
That building is so beautiful!!
This was a fantastic upload. The diorama was stunning. Thank you so much for sharing.
This dude is an artists! My word the detail...
I just thought of a funny idea - Uncle Nightshift selling Real Earth from his Garden™.
Awesomeness i really enjoyed watching this thankyou
that is incredible , and heres me worrying about weathering a tank lol
Man, you nailed it once again - IN SPADES !!! This is just SO good - ideas, technique and your approach to showing your work. THANKS - you are my go to channel for good advice and inspiration.
The building is indeed spooky af
Really A M A Z I N G ! I’m speechless 😮
I can’t believe how long this video is! This is great.
Next you can do a large tank battle with two or three tanks!
absolutely crazy, like 3d rendered, crazy
Замечательная работа! Поздравляю с очередным шедевром!!! 👍👍👍
My main thought here is....your followers love what you offer in its truest form...meaning we dont count the days and apply pressure for you to produce. A true fan / follower appreciates you in your natural form of creating & sharing WITH YOUR HAPPINESS THRUNOUT being a HUGE reason we watch. #YourHappyWeRHappy
New subscriber; what a great build, excellent video production, and teriffic narration!
This is a masterpiece! Oh and I can't wait for the romantic Christmas comedy episode!
What a joy to watch you work! What an extraordinarily well planned presentation! You offer us all authentic technical expertise and masterful artistry wonderfully blended into an engaging vignette. This presents to all who see your incomparable handiwork a satisfying example of storytelling in three dimensions, with this exquisite, little moment held in place for all time . . . .
As usual a great diorama with a superb finish only one flaw, I am fairly sure that if that soldier was driving a truck, he wouldn't be wearing all that kit!
that was the thing that jumped out at me too, and i had to scroll too far to see this comment!
Great vid, building a Diorama is always fun! 👍👍
Just too good beyond words.
Outstanding details as usual, inspiring and gorgeous!!
The roof reminded me of Lincoln Logs from my youth :) Thank you for all you do!
Cutting your fingers is like a rite of passage for every hobbyist.
As someone who has no clue whatsoever about the effort that goes into making a diorama, its mind blowing to watch your craft and see the scene coming alive with every addition of detail. There were countless instances during the video when I thought - "Wow, that looks absolutely stunning" and you go ahead and add several more layers of detail and I am just speechless. Good is not good enough - perfection is where you draw the line! Thank you for sharing your work and amazing talent.
A masterpiece.
Thank you My Kovacs for your effort in producing and posting this content - this is modelling on another scale. Your spoken English is impeccable too.
Outstanding work! I don't remember when I last time watched so long video from start to the end, but this one is so great.
Superbe diorama, belle utilisation du modèle RT DIORAMA
bravo bravo bravo
Excellent diorama, RT diorama make some fantastic diorama buildings. The church is a really nice building, you must try it sometime
OH HELL YEA.....the thumbnail alone got me very VRRY EXCITED! I don't even build / collect tanks and such ( i collect other stuff)...until your one of only a couple channels / hosts that I truly love to watch!
Chlape máš to super, co si budeme povídat, no velká paráda..... ❤
thinking of the unbelievable warhammer 40k dioramas you could make with tanks and scenery
This reminded me of linka, anyone remember linka ? A whole childhood of disappointment 😅
Really nice work my friend !
You are a natural..
Ur not the only one with this level of attention to detail, all modelers have the same problem. Yeah we can reproduce real world exactly in miniature, cool. After uve built thousands, then what ...
I love this new long format :D
AWESOME !!! So much detail, but not overly so
You don't get lost, or over look something, but you never aren't seeing something. Your step by step narration & hints are so very appreciated. Learn something everytime I watch, even repeat veiwing. I wish I had your talents. Keep up the great work.
Wow wow wow !!! Amazing work,
Extraordinary piece of work. Wow…🙌
I try to watch other diorama builder videos…but none paint their grass, like you…so I just can’t watch them. Your builds are the best, for the extra attention you pay to your ground work. Thank you for your videos🤘
Night shift ive been watching your videos from pretty much the beginning and I'm amazed to see that they get better every time, every video seems to be an improvement on the last which I didn't think would be possible. It genuinely shows how much care and how much time you put in, the small talks you have added with your tips and reviews are amazing and I hope to see more of them in the future, outstanding work as always mate, thankyou for providing such high quality content.
I really love your attitude!
You're always very humble and saying such things like "it wasn't much work" and everybody can see, your work is absolutely perfect and a long way to go!
This diorama is absolutely awesome and with insane details. It's telling a very nice story and it was very informative (again) about some of your techniques.
One reason more, why I love your work and this channel!
Many thanks again!
I love how at the 30 minute mark when you assembled everything I thought ohhh wow!! that looks pretty good and very realistic and then you ere like ohh btw the base is nowhere near finished lol so much detail man amazing work!
Your a magician mate ! Absolutely amazing.
Looks truly great. I love it how real the red bricks look like.
YES OH YES. I LOVE IT
Always a joy to watch. Thanks.
5% kit + 95% Martin = 100% Perfection. I loved the ivy leaves and the pillows of moss on the roof.
In one word... Amazing
45:44 The painting on the soldier's and stuff in the bed of the truck are phenomenal.
Your eye for the details is impeccable..those wood beams looked so natural and real..I love all your content and I too enjoy the commentary rather than having nothing but music play as you build..This piece turned out simply amazing
...Wow...just WOW!
WOW, what a build. Verry nice Diorama. Sorry for the late reaction, kinda new on UA-cam. You talk about problems, and dived them in small problems. That's thinking in solutions. Thats how I do it. Thinking in solutions, makes life and your work easier.
