That was so cool especially the sign. Most people don't own the airbrush painter but it sure does come in handy for this project.

Sadly, it looks just like the roof on my house now!! I really enjoyed the video Martin!!

My jaw dropped when you finally revealed those cracks painted and highlighted. For a split second I refused to believe that you actually painted those by hand. Great job, and I really like how this work turned out.

Those painted cracks is a trick I learned from my diorama sensei Volker Bembennek. Most of the techniques used on this house come from his work, he's the real MVP! If you google his name you'll find many of his amazing works!

Martin....you should be model building in the major film studios! The quality of this work is just ridiculously good!! Exceptional... 😁👍

man.... that is really awesome. YOU ought to be in the movie industry... making minatures... They still use them. WOW.

Oh, I'm very early now. Well, wanted to say, I'm always in awe of what you do each video, and I'm really pumped for the final dio🤘

That is fantastic work, and it was deeply satisfying seeing it come together!

I can't imagine making such a building from styrofoam! Awesome!

It's hard to imagine until you try it out! I was in the same position earlier this year :)

In case you're wondering, Byrrh is an aromatised wine apertif made of red wine. It was more popular in the early 20th century than today.

We're not worthy! Truly beautiful work.

Uncle Nightshift videos are what make my Friday’s complete. :-)

I live in France and Byrrh is a product that still exists. I've used it to make cocktails before.

I was a big fan from the beginning! But after all those tanks you lost me. Now with the diorama video's i am so happy to be back.. I missed your voice😅 Even bought a proxxon wire cutter now. I love it...

I just fell into this randomly to say my mind is blown is an understatement, I'm dying to try my hand at it I just know I don't have the creativity level to carry it out

The white stuff on some roofs is calcium and / or limescale, as far as I know. Leeching out of the stonework during the rain. Another awesome project, man. Always enjoy your uploads.

"brick and morty' love it.

Bravo...Night shift, thats a beautiful piece of work. I seriously think you should bring out a 2 hour dvd. I know no one buys dvds, but you know what I mean. Have a think about it, I know I would buy it.

Wow ! Awesome, really love how the advertising letters came out!👍 Building is looking great !

Just amazing watching this house come to "life". Clear explanation and a great result. Just one thing though: when applying the wash to the moss did the PVA glue not dissolve?

The PVA dries really fast and it won't budge :) You can go to town with watered down acrylics.

@@NightShiftScaleModelsMany thanks for your reaction :-) Because I normally use watered down PVA when I want to put on static grass etc. and when I saw you put on the wash the first thing I thought was isnt that going to give some issues with the PVA?

@@marckoppelman7170 Not all PVA's are the same. It took me a long time to figure that out. What you're looking for is a PVA for exterior use that's water resistant. Interior use PVA's tend to reactivate when soaked in water. I'd suggest you go to a store and check the descriptions of different PVA's. I've been using a wood glue which claims that it's intended for both interior and exterior use, is also water resistant and I have no issues when applying washes :)

If I ever need some inspiration to model, this is a go to channel, unfortunately it also makes me feel very inferior in my skills!!! AMAZING!!!

yellow mortar, is old type of mortar made of lime and sand, variations of it (it is dependent on location and lime / sand) were used most notably on medieval castles, but before and after. Grey mortar you are more used to, is Portland cement based. Portland cement in large enough quantities was only available from like mid to late 1800's, but it was expensive, more so if you had to ship it to rural areas so lime mortar was used well into mid 20th century, and is still used in renovations and such.

The fact that this started out life as a humble, non-descript block of styrofoam is simply mind-boggling.

I don’t even model but I love your videos.

I live in Thuir France where Byrrh (the locals say is not a wine it's an apéritif) is made, the building is a good copy of what is seen here it is a bit too tall (about half a meter or so IRL) but over all well-made the colors are great the advertisement for Byrrh is fantastic! You could send a photo to the main office of Byrrh with your tank in the photo, their would love it! Some place here use bricks that are much larger by three or four sizes bigger that go back 300 or so years! Look at the castle of Perpignan, near Thuir!

This is definitely museum quality.

Utterly incredible and has changed how I approach wood

Marvelous. I'd like to see a pic of it taken outdoors.

Something I would love to see is a middle eastern style building

i just love how even he isn´t like a super profesional that can do everything out the book but rather he learns doing things and i can just only respect that! love your videos and can´t wait to learn more.

I'm amazed to see how good the rocks look. I would NOT believe it if someone told me that this warm grey basecoat + watered down light color could give such a nice result. I really like how you mention the various references and how you let them kind of guide your thought process. And I need to get myself some of that ballast fixer :D That wood coloring and orange staining from rusty nails really reminded me of what I saw at my grandparets' houses in their villages. The only thing I'm not too sure about is the wood grain, looks quite aggressive. When you type in 'old fence' into google images you can see a lot of those grey washed out planks, but the wood grain is barely visible without a serious zoom in. Or maybe it's just your camera work being too good and it catches those sharp color changes too well :D

One would normally assume that neutral grey, or even cold, bluish tones would be appropriate for stones. However, I've seen it done in other dioramas and didn't quite like the result. Rocks are often dusty, covered in lichen and whatnot, so they naturally look "warmer". You're making a good point about the woodgrain. I got carried away because it was a new, fast and easy technique :D

I dunno why but I thought he was gonna scream like "WOOO HOOOO WE DID IT BOYZZZ WOOOOOOOO" also this is generally a really good building Outstanding work man !

1 word...... AWESOME!

Спасибо за видео. Это один из лучших результатов окрашивания макета 1:35, который я видел в сети. Лайк! Thanks for the video. This is one of the best results of coloring a 1:35 layout that I have seen online. Like!

Amazing, you are an artist and have the patience of a Saint.

I just may think you are better at buildings than vehicles lol, thats out of this world perfect.

Byrrh factory is in my hometown!😅 So fun to see the brand featured here!😆

I agree with you that it is more satisfying to create something completely on your own, instead of just building a model!

Awesome ,details and realism pushed to the extreme !!! 👍👍

Whenever you get to making/ painting water from resin; you should do a “ Panzer of the lake “ diorama to show it off!

Fantastic work!!! Mike Rinaldi gave you props in a live stream the other day....

Fantastic build!! I think you flipped the door 180 degress, the lagre ”mirror” should be at the top. Keep up the fantastic work!!!

Great great job Martin! Who can imagine it's only foam under! You should take a picture in B&W and compare to your reference picture. Difference should be mostly unseeable. Congratulations

The one thing I notice with all the grout techniques is that the finished look makes it look newer than it would. Excess grout left on the brick/stone faces would wear off over the years but it’s still visible in these techniques. I wonder if doing a quick wipe with a wet cloth or paper towel would help get rid of the grout remnants on the stone faces.

I throughly impressed. Your work is fenominal!. Very well done, sir.

Oh boy a man pleased with his results , loved the build Martin 👌😎

Insta-liking this video. I have yet to watch it!

I LOVE IT! You're a wizard my man.

Looks so good that makes me want to move in...

Hi and thanks for the great video. You are a real diorama god. LG Björn.

incroyable. the mossy roof in particular is amazing.

On those old roofs the things you called bird droppings is actually a lichen :D

Your voice sounds modulated in this video, like you're underwater. Did you do something different? Not complaining, just... noticing.

It's usually about working with the same color palette, such as using mostly the same colors on wood and rocks, but also blending different textures with washes, filters and whatnot :)

Absolutely fantastic. Extremely well done

This is a really good video. I'm learning a lot watching you work.

THIS IS CRAZY!!! WOW!!!

Your foray into building construction is inspirational. It had me do an online search for Byrrh during which I find it still exists although now owned by Ricard instead of the original family. I'll be heading on to your road building next it would seem. I expect to be wowed 😊

Honestly Martin, you've outdone yourself once again. That building looks absolutely stunning!

That joyfull scream was full of hidden pain! :D

Detail is awesome, 4th time viewing this -wow!😊

THIS WAS GREAT, Every step with great detail Thank You , Please do more FUN Stuff !

Aw man my parents live near the town that make Byrrh! it's a good choice of poster.

My mind is blown! Amazing! Thank you

That is one of the most amazing architectural dioramas I have ever seen. You are trully an inspiring artist.

Very nice result. You are probably closer to being right about the bird droppings than you might think. I worked for awhile in construction many years ago and the amount of damage that is done to various roofing materials is astounding. Birds, tree limbs, winds, etc. all contribute in their own fashion to the look of a roof. Yours looks very realistic. Seriously realistic!
