"Gone Fishing" - Epoxy Resin Water Diorama
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
My friends, it's again one of those nice moments when you're left with a few parts from a previous project, and it's just enough to create another small yet exciting diorama. This time featuring a blown-off turret sitting in a forest, submerged in water!

“Once everything was ROCK HARD in the morning” I bet everything was. I found that so funny, but take it wrong it just made me laugh. I really love your work and the content you make. Your voiceovers are one of my favorite parts next to your beautiful models.

Yeah, it caught me a bit off guard lol
I have binge watched all your other material, so am always excited when I see something new ... Never disappointed - keep up the good work.
I know it doesn't really fit your style, but I liked when you added the little fish around the tank! It just made it seem more lively.
Because of Night Shift I have officially sold my first commissioned model of Gaspatch's 1:48 Salmson 2A2 Mid Type! THANK YOU NIGHT SHIFT FOR GETTING ME INTO THE HOBBY!

That is so cool, congratulations!
Back in the day, we called this kit bashing.🍻
The beauty of your creations lies not only in your technical skills, but in the balance and artistry of the compositions. Thanks much for your work.

I agree his artistic and stylistic approach is what breathes life into the work.
The stained wood bordering looks much better than the flat black you normally go for.
Yes somebody My Garden TM's monopoly. Truly hope My Backyard TM can shake up the market, excited for their catalogue
Enjoy your vacation.
Its very good to see you again night shift
Now You need to make a matching vignette where the hull without the turret sits in the woods and if You don't want to do the inside of the tank then put a fallen tree on it or make the tank overgrown with plants.

i love that turret. i know its sunk in the water and in shadow but my grandfather was a american tank commander during the korean war and he said all US tanks then were painted bright white inside to help reflect what little light was in the inside.
This is...breathtakingly beautiful.
Thank you , Uncle Martin . 🐺 Loupis Canis .
Even when there's a mistake, Uncle, you still manage to roll with the flow and come up with approachable solutions. Love the fish detail! Made me smile when you were painting them!
Always love seeing a new Night Shift video. Keep it up.❤

Btw this was day 91 of trying to get noticed by Night Shift mission complete
Yes! Another video!
That's NOT a mess! Not even close! Another great video...
im going to make my first diorama for a 1/72 scale model ,and im going to use your videos as some type of tutorial , love your work
Have a great vacation !!
Good day to you Mr. Night Shift.
A dog at the start of a nightshift video? A blessing indeed!
HAVE FUN ON YOUR VACATION!
Nice recovery with the resin. Enjoy the vacation.
Am I the only one who laughed when whipped out that massive dagger. It was just so random.
When you mix your resin pour it into another mixing pot and mix again, this will ensure you get a more even mix. I learnt the hard way as well... 🤣
Time to make a vignette. I have lots of leftover parts. Love what you did with the tree!
Just another night shift classic 😄
hahaha Love the fish mate... very nice build
Binge Watching your vids on a road trip and saw you uploaded
Amazing! Small vignettes are the best.
Night shift your skill is perfect for scrapyard scenes like for instance the rev w awdrys drawings of scrapped trains
Happy travels, first vacation in years I now the feeling.
Very weird things happen in war and tornadoes 🌪️💥 No explanation necessary 😁 It's your vignette Uncle Night Shift, do what you want. Great job. I'll be waiting to see what you come up with next. 👍
This is a great example of why you shouldn't toss your bits. A moment of creation may hit you! 😎
Good to see another one if your fantastic videos 👍👍😎😎
love it, love it, love it! a lil' thing that I would add, is a bit of organic debris and dust accumulated in the creases of the turret, and maybe rain stains, somethong like that. cheers to that beautiful work!
Love it, I really really like it good work night shift
have a good vacation! 10 years is a lot of time and u deserve it for posting these vids. Hope u have fun and take a nice break :)
I love your little dog
Excellent Diorama. I don't know if anyone has mentioned it here but if you put a couple of drops of dish soap in your bottle of diluted PVA it should break the surface tension and soak in, saving you the trouble of using IPA. That's what I've always done and it works for me. Keep the videos coming.
Hello. A very nice little Dio. Again a masterpiece from you. Thx for showing.
Happy upcoming vacation. The diorama looks great.
As a student of Verlinden , you have far out shown the master , And yes , two part epoxy is a mess ! My last build required me to cast numerous small parts using silicone molds and epoxy , half of them never cured right ! Out of frustration I decided to pour 3D print resin into the molds , and leave them out in the sun Parts where fully cured in 5 minutes , with no air bubbles
its always a great day when nightshift uploads
When I see you posted it makes me want to stay up even later than 2 am
I love your floors lol 😆
3:30 so you're telling us you spent hours rearranging a figure, a turret and a piece of wood on a styrofoam. That's passion for the hobby if I've ever seen it.
For your next 'palate cleanser' vignette, build The Tonk. After all, you already build The Tank of the Lake'. 😂👍🤦♂️
Size difference with the figures is fine and adds more realism, people are different sizes..!
What I absolutely love in your videos is that models, effects and dioramas/vignettes that were on an impossible level of skill for me are decomposed and explained so well, that it becomes very clear how this and that should be done, and very easy to do. The rest is the matter of 'technical' skills. And my models that were made after I found your channel are a great confirmation of that :)
Great job on the vignette Martin even with the resin not curing it looks great cheers my friend. Enjoy your vacation
Love the yellow face 👍
SOOOO KOOOOOLLLLL !! Love your projects . Just amazing . Great , WOW .
Just as I was on a binging spree of your old videos, Nightshift returns in glorious fashion.
Congratulation! Next fantastic work! 🙂🙋
Looks good. Have a good vacation.
Anymore dioramas and your backyard will be down to bedrock. Awesome build, love these vignette vids (probably a little more than your full dioramas, weird huh?) and the potent concise story the viewer can glean from them (the UXB vignette is breathtaking). Cheers.
By far my favorite project you’ve done was the “cats and dogs” jagdpanther build. I know it was a long time ago now but it really shows the immense amount of detail you put into your builds. I’m not a modeler myself but i watch a lot of modeling channels and so far I haven’t seen anyone use a real life example of the power lines outside of their house for a model. I love your content and I’ve been watching for a while just thought I should comment this to hopefully give your day a boost. 💕
Perfect model i love your models a your perfect modeling and ideas you have my respect
I actually liked the look of the edges with the process, even though it was a mistake in resin mixing. The sloped edges seemed more natural in the scene.
always great to see a new night shift video! also, using extra parts from an old model is an amazing use of the old stuff that you might not have used otherwise
Another great model. Thanks
So, I am LOVING these small vignettes using leftovers. I never thought of this, and it’s honestly a great way to accomplish something cool in a much smaller time frame. That stump is sooooo col
My friend, one thing that always help me. When I got to the liquid resin was this. After about 4 to 6 minutes of mixing. Then I always added the color to make it cloudy. I never add the color in the beginning. Every single time I did it messed it up. So now I just mix the hardener and the resin together first. Be careful with color my friend. You can always put more color in but you can never take out too much color. I hope that helped you with the clear resin. I also buy my clear risen from a hardware store. It seems to work better the other type. We buy for models and diagrams..
I really want to make a diorama for my wrecker I made but it's a long vehicle and I want to show when I recovered a vehicle on a hill basicly seeing your videos gives me inspiration but my lack of confidence holds me back
Gorgeous wee dio, and enjoy your vacation.
for someone who has an attention span of 4 mins, I could watch these FOR HOURS straight!
If the figures are both 1/35 scale but there is a little size difference, that shouldn't be a problem; military units are not sorted by height and width. One of the units I was in, the shortest guy was 5'5" and the tallest was a whopping 6'8". He had a LOT of trouble in our M2 BFV. So a little height difference can only add to the realism. But that's just my opinion. Beautiful build, but I've been watching you for years and I don't ever remember seeing you do a bad one. Cheers, and enjoy your vacation!
Another masterpiece, compliments!!!
Halfway through vid didn’t know I was watching for so long
Great vignette 👏
Just got home from vacation, your video is the perfect rest at the end of the day.
Valentine of the lake🤩
Add some flotsam & jetsam around the part of the turret in the water to make it look like the stuff washed up and gathered around those parts. Maybe some water staining effects...unless the explosion happened fairly recently - in that case, never mind! :)
that is really good please make more from this
have a nice holiday
Thanks for another interesting diorama.
As always nicely done.......Can"t wait whats next to build here.
Getting to watch Uncle Night Shift whilst working a Night Shift? What a treat!!!
Love how you make the small things look awesome so much effort into a small but detailed project.
"My haste and my lack of brain cells that caused such an unpleasant problem." That's a mood. In all seriousness, it still came out amazing and you had a great way to overcome the issue. Hope you have a great vacay, NS!
You build an paint dioramas I dreamt of making as a kid,,,great work man 😊🏴
2:20 man got quick scoped 😂😂
Yes new vid love it
I like these smaller scenes with the occasional big project
Love the fish!! Every time I get stuck in a bit of a hobby rut and don’t feel like modelling, your videos always inspire me and make me want to pick up the brushes and hobby knife again!
Yet another superb video my friend!
Inspired everytime i watch your video. Great advices. Many thanks
congrats on the vacation!
love the fish. brilliant.
Good work! So much detail) Thank you for video!
You should make a Canadian Sherman firefly. Also love you videos❤
So cool
Cant wait for the next armor model, perhaps an Italian tank next time?
Watching for the video comment for the algorithm
You inspired me to continue working on my Gundam. It's been sitting and waiting half done since last summer. Thank you! 💜
Amazing :))))))))))))
That's an awesome way to use left overs, it turned out very well, Happy Holidays.
it looks really good I enjoyed the process i love despite miner mistakes with the water it all turned out great.
