Dear Uncle Martin, today i want to praise a skill of you no one is talking about: You are such a good narrator! Your model skills are so overwhelming, that real no one realizes your videos would be only half as good if you wouldn’t narrate the, in such details. I dont know any other modeller that talks so much and adds at the same time so much depth to the experience.

Agreed, there are lots of modeling channels, but Martin’s videos are easy to listen to, unlike some of the others.

A boat. You’ve done armor, planes, trains and automobiles and buildings and even a fricking sci fi walking tank. But far as I know, no boats yet.

Who else checked the play bar at the exact moment he said we would ? dude's a psychic!! And an amazing artist Respect

(raises hand) What’s really weird is that I checked it not five seconds before he said not to.

Always good to change the lane and gear from time to time. And this German contraption from the early 20th century looks right out of a Ghibli film! 😊

The only thing that can top a Friday for me is a video from Uncle Night Shift😊 29:28 something completely new? Praying for a belly land, wrecked, and rusted B-17 in a field along the German countryside just left to rot. Maybe with an old rusty plow in tall grass near the bomber.

This is a pleasant surprise. My particular niche in modeling is model railroading, but I get tons of inspiration from other areas of modeling, so it's nice to see this

Spot on , I do the same regards Fred

Best model maker on the Internet. Such an inspiration.

Your dioramas always have a story to tell. You can see that this little pancake train has lived a colourful life, great job dude.

I'm thinking of a plane or a boat next. Branching out into the world is always good to help the creativity keep flowing all the time. You never get bored or tired if you challenge your creativity with something different. Good Job 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

Hi Martin, I've neglected my own diorama channel for over 2yrs, but I've kept my engine chugging by watching and re-watching all of your previous videos, every one of which is pretty much perfect and all of which are interesting, and inspiring. In short, your videos make me cry! How can anyone hope to compete??? I can't hope to match your camera work/editing, production, narration, and modelling skills. I'm sure I'd beat you in a few rounds of shin-kicking though. Joking aside, I AM learning your method for producing videos and hope to reach a reasonable standard soon and get back to doing stuff on my own channel. Oh, welcome to the world of plaster of Paris buildings by the way. Now get and cast your own rather than purchase a plaster kit! Keep up the great work!

I think you should try making a boat diorama. Probably best to start with someone small though. They take up quite a bit of space

Ma’Friend! As a railway modeller this is awesome!!!

When it comes to rust effects, you simply have NO equal!!!

Your IRL intros are so great. Almost like an "Oh hi, didn't see you there!" sort of way. I'm just waiting for a day where the intro has literally nothing to do with the video at all. Its just you at a stop light or something. xD

Your videos always make me smile. I love your voice, and the way you play with the English language is so much fun. I have only one complaint, nearly every time I watch a new build you end up costing me money! Now I'm off to Michigan Toy Soldier to buy some mud and rocks and probably some weeds. Yay!

Very cool!. Ive not done any modelling in 2-3 years. Skills like this that I had developed since I was a kid have become "rusty"!!!! Found memories of working into the wee hours of the morning on projects like this. Family obligations required this time of day when all my sane family members were in bed. Now that the family has grown up I have competition from other hobbies.

Excellent rust technique. Using airbrush to create light rust after chipping is master class 👍

Hell yeah. It’s been so long, nice to see you back muh friend.

Are we still doing the „yay I’m first“? If so, u know, first…

It's always nice to see a new Night Shift video drop!! Thank you Martin for sharing your talents! The bloopers are awesome!!😂😂

@nightshift due to your mentions of Michigan Toy Soldier & Figure Company on a recent visit to Berkeley Michigan I sought out their store and I was not disappointed. I have been making models since 1974, and this is the essence of what a great hobby shop should be. Well socked with armor kits, tools, paints and basing supplies with all the major brands and many many niche products as well. Incredible dioramas and scenic displays are top quality, and make it worth the visit alone. I love your videos, and i've learned so much. Great to see your techniques grow and improve. Keep up the great work night shift.

Love getting to see the entire process in one video. I think showing the paint job on the interior first before going back to do the same treatment to the outside is a pro editing move. It was really cool to know the final result and see how each technique contributes to the final effect.

Some day, soon probably to be honest, you will be looked at as raising the bar for the hobby and pushing it forward while sharing all your knowledge for everyone to raise their skills considerably, just like the legend Sheperd Paine did.

11:56 The second before you said that I checked the play bar 😂 Your models are absolutely incredible. I’ve only built a couple models and you are my inspiration to get better. Thank you so much for these videos 🙏

Seeing your style and efficiency shift over has been a joy.

0:30 love the Borderlands 2 reference to Krieg🤣

Great work as always . You inspire me to build more and better dioramas . AMAZING Work . Mike Espo. God Bless.

I have been waiting for Uncle Nightshift to make something railway related for a long, long time. Finally!

This is awesome, such a small diorama, but the feeling of an entire train yard!!

What a cool and unique subject. I really enjoyed this one. KUTGW!

I think the next model could possibly be a motorcycle of some sort. You've done tanks, cars, dioramas and buildings so now's about time for something civilian. Maybe even an aircraft of some kind.

Finally!!! A train diorama. It looks amazing ❤

My guess is either a car or an airplane fresh from the factory. Something with a nice new paint job and no corrosion or weathering.

I've never seen those grass sea balls before. Neat. You're diorama turned out great.

AS USUAL, EPIC WORK

Oh, Martin, I would have loved to see how you did the inside of the train!

You mentioned something along the line of "rust attracts dust, rocks, and plants" during the detailing phase of the build. This made me wonder about dust, rocks, and plants collecting in corners of the machine, attracting and holding onto water, accelerating rust in those locations, perhaps? As always, LOVE your work, and your explanations of your techniques.

Recently I started modeling again after 10 years of not doing it Been working on a Tiger E that a relative gave me when he gave up after just assembly the lower hull and I had an idea for a diorama you might like A vehicle (tank, apc, truck, whatever...) in its assembly line on a factory, like if it was being finished to be put into service Great train diorama btw, great as always

Wow, you work copper foil just like Tomas from Laser Creation World. You contain multitudes, Maestro Kovach.

Build and paint in the same video? Awesome! I would love to see something civilian set in WW2 as the next project. Where the the war can be seen, but it isn't war material that is presented

Great looking diorama. My only gripe would be the flattened motor. It looks comically large for such a small shunter.

My dude, my favorite and most talented scale modeler and painter on KZread. You gotta make a turtle tank next. I would love to, but my skills are no match for that level of mad max, custom orkiness. The chicken coop! I believe in you! But….you know, should make it look like it just got knocked out cause that’s only right and proper.

This is such an interesting train, i never knew something like this existed, it looks almost like something that could be from a dystopian future with its harsh desgin and odd aesthetics. After seeing this i would love to se you do a marine subject, like a abandoned tug boat or military ship.

It looks amazing! I know there aren't many train model kits in larger scales, meant for static display, but if you find any in the future, i would love to watch you build them.

Please do some longer videos concentrating on individual techniques. That would be great. A book would be nice too. Thanks

Would love to see some more trains!

I'm guessing that you are finally tackling that huge Soviet self-propelled 403 mm howitzer.

Just this week i painted some really distressed looking railroad ties in H0-scale. They are specially made with cracks etc. it was interesting.

I love your work mate, realistically one of the best modellers around... Now lets talk about one of the funniest opening screens of all time!! Thank you for a bloody good laugh

Oh man Martin, this came out amazing! I can't wait to see what you do with that 40k tank you bought, especially since there's very little "reference" pictures for the tank. Imagination is gonna run wild!

Really beautiful deviant from your usual subject. The weathering came out amazing 😊 Love watching you create ❤😊❤

Extraordinary job, my friend………..😎🦾

Haha finally WE have outtakes again. How long ago were the old classic ones? 4 years? 🎉

i absolutly LOVE the krieg reference at the start.... I AM THE CONDUCTOR OF THE POOP TRAIN!!

it would be really interesting to get a reference picture in black and white and try to replicate it completely in only black and white

Awasome. But also depressing because you set the bar so high! 😉

As much as I prefer stuff that does stuff... I can learn here too. Thanks!

Love the intro buddy! Great stuff! 😁

YES! He dives into my realm!

Absolutely incredible fun to watch you work on this one. Seems like a fantastic kit!

This was amazing. Its inspirational to see such a simple subject built and displayed in such a beautiful way. also, im guessing a space ship.

Maestro Kovach, can you do a special with James May of Top Gear? He's a huge modeler. I loved his History of Hornby and Airfix documentaries. Your work as always, is top-notch.

What a strange model, never seen a loco like it. But you did a great job on it, it has so much patina!

Your really making me want to step out of my realm of fantasy models and try a scalemodel kit!

That was a great job you did. There was only one thing you could have done to make it better. The light Pole, if you would have made it light up, that would be the only thing to do to make it better. I still would give this project a 10 out of 10. You are one of the best. There is out there.

Another masterpiece Martin.

Babe wake up, Nightshift just uploaded

As always, an amazing build. Love it when a New Video from you appears in my feed! And its great that it is something different than a Tank. Nice Variety! What about an Old Soviet Fire Truck abandoned and overgrown near the NPP Tschernobyl? I'd Love to see something like that from you 😁😉

Yaaay! Night Shift video!

thats actually some insane detail. you are amazing

That is absolutely outstanding Martin !!! Such a cool little subject 👍🏼👍🏼

Brillian, nice to see something different and how the usual methods translate to something else, next off how about a converted ex army truck that had a civilian life and then abandoned behind a garage years later...

Something that wasn't here before? Rusty wreck of an aircraft! Come on, pleeeaaaase 😁

My Slovakian wife said one thing - toto je chrumkavé ❤

Hi Martin, it's me, Cliff here. I am really enjoying watching this video because you are tearing stuff up! Not unlike the recent photos I sent to you, but not visible from the outside. However, you just inspired me to do more. I have a set of nice metal tracks I was going to use to get a great middle sag, but my reference photos show that the tanks had side skirts which completely hide the realistic sags so Im going with the lit tracks instead. Love the way you are building this torn up. Imagine an old rusty engine becoming a work of art! I wonder how many hours did it take to paint this kit?

Your the best uncle nightshift !

Absolutely fantastic video! i always love watching you build such amazing dioramas. Those Breuer VI switcher locomotives are really nifty little things. we had a few of them over here in Norway, and they were commonly given the nickname "Klesskapet" ("the wardrobe") due to their shape.

I love when you do other stuff other than tanks your Volkswagen is my favorite diorama love your work keep up the good work.

Thanks so much for sharing! your creativity blows my mind ! ✌Canada✌

Big respect. You make a nice model into a wonderfull beautiful one-of-a-kind piece. Masterwork. Thx for showing

I love the look of old, rusty junk! Excellent video!

an amazing diorama. Great to see the varied techniques you use.

ABSOLUTELY GREAT!😮😅

Awesome work as always.
 I think this type of vehicle is called a dreisine which were used by railroad inspection and maintenance.

I love VMS , put in about $400 order every year and I’m never disappointed

disgustingly brilliant as usual , fantastic .

you are a master at this process. I really like watching your work.

I love the light pole, that is such a distinctive feature. I am sure you have heard, watching you makes me feel so inadequate, but I am learning. Thank you for sharing your skills. Plus your videos are so relaxing.

Excellent smithers

That’s amazing!!! More trains please.

What an incredible job you have done

Rust has never been so fascinating! And bonus bloopers? Awesome!

Useful techniques. Will use them for very different purposes.

Love watching your model making! I wonder if you would be interested in doing something opposite to heavily weathered models, like a factory finished WW2 tank from a factory (could be included into a diorama as well with factory machinery) or a freshly restored old building (providing contrast between perfect finish and a dirty construction site around). Something "out of you comfort zone"? :)

TINY GOBLIN! Fun fact. In Denmark they have the nickname Clothingcabinet.

Amazing work! Love the rust effect

Amazing quality as always My guess for next project is a 1930's German farm tractor

Every time a video is uploaded by Night Shift, I learn something new.

wow that is insane, very realistic work, congratulations.

The board texture on the concrete wall is such a subtle touch, I really like it. The next video is Gunpla related!

Love watching your videos. You inspired me and I'm making my own dioramas now. A big hello from the UK 🤘
