Earth from your backyard + some natural fibres + static grass = probably the best thing ever.

Why would you make a model of a Russian nuclear submarine? Turn up at the docks with a crate of vodka they will probably give you a real one

Regarding Engine soot/oil stains-Diesel engines are compression spark engines vs. a gas powered vehicle, which use a spark plug. What does mean for people who don't know anything about engines? A compression style engine aka Diesel engine doesn't "warm up" the same way as gas engines do. Idling a diesel engine for long period of time doesn't allow for it reach operating temperatures, which allows the piston rings not to fully expand (which help with compression in the engine), which allows the "pushing" of engine oil and diesel fuel out the exhaust stack. To prevent this, a diesel engine needs to be "high idled", which means its running at a higher RPM then it would normally do when idle till it reaches operating temps TLDR: Your second explanation was close enough ;)

pretty satisfied with it tbh :) thanks!
I have used old tea leaves on models. I grind the tea (by hand, as needed) into the appropriate size chunks and glue it down. I also have so many colors of tea I can do just about anything with it. Green, red, brown, tan, yellow. Basically everything other than blue and purple.
oh the weathering stage is frightful and it's oh so very delightful!
Hi my name is Wayne and I’m a Nightshift Addict. I look forward every week to my Saturday morning fix. Wonderful work as always. G’day and all the best from Australia mate.
Weathering has become an art...Gorgeous!!👌
One tip for tutorial: how to clearly glue small PE parts (tips and tricks)
Night Shift is by far the most plaesant channel about modeling to watch. No talking head. No endless lectures about what would be wrong or right. Just plain good advice, yet with perspective, self mockery and room for your own preferences. Very helpfull tutorials indeed!
I’m going back and watching old episodes. I guess that’s what you call them. In any event I really like all the techniques. I guess the artistry comes in when deciding which techniques to use and which models and in which order. If it were really simple then everybody would do it. Great job Martin
Great vid
Nice save of a questionable model. I really like your style of presenting your work and tips. Very helpful and enjoyable to watch. I am a fan!
This model looks like its gonna start up any second and make a trip to Berlin.
Night Shift - Just watched this again and I have to compliment you on your excellent teaching style - you have an amazing way of conveying the technique and methods so that they are understood and easy to learn!
Great looking KV Martin. I like that gravel glue technique. I use a similar technique but use a white glue/water/alcohol mix to fuze things together. I really enjoyed this series. KUTGW man!
I have been watching your channel for quite a bit now and the skills you have shown have enabled me to create better and more realistic models of tanks and aircraft so its a very big thank you for showing us mere mortals how to really up the quality of our models. Please keep up the good work and show us even more skills as this is seriously amazing stuff you are showing us.
Hi Martin, I just watched the full restoration, You did an wonderful job. What a beauty!
Great work, Martin, you have really invested so much time and hard work into this to make this model lifelike! Well done, can't wait for the next video!
Night Shift = A Master modeller that is held in the highest esteem by everyone in the hobby and industry. Thank you for this excellent video series, once again :D
That is a great experience for me! Especially excites, that you did it with 72-nd scale!!!
You've inspired no end. So I've just bought my first set of oils and thinners, to step up my painting for the wargaming table. Great vids, keep em comming.

Hi Uncle! Doing a straight up compare with what you started with and the finished product, I think this is a damn fine job. Superb finish and great work throughout. Thanks for doing this for us, it's much appreciated.
You're the best, Night Shift! Love your techniques.
LOL - love the commentary, great sense of humor. Excellent work on this tiny model!
Awesome video! I'm an aircraft modeler, but after watching your videos, it's time to build a tank! Thank you again for taking the time to create such informative, educational, and entertaining videos!
Nice! I can't hardly wait to begin my PST 1/72 KV-1E. THANKS!!!
Great work Uncle Nightshift. Watching this restoration from start to finish has been a treat, thank you. I was thinking that a Vietnam era APC such as the M113 would be a nice project for you. I've seen many of these in real life and boy o boy, these things are all very knocked about. Lots and lots of wear, chipping, dents and scratches. Love your work
Such an awesome series. Never knew 1:72 scale models could be made to look this good, especially when painting after construction.
MARTIN!!! Dude, how are you so good at this? You turned such a sad model into a thing of beauty. Its amazing!
Fantastic finish Martin. It's been a delight watching this model progress. I found the video's very inspiring. Thank you.

Really nice Martin - what I'm most impressed with your work is your balance with the techniques - not too much or too little - I'd like to see you do a video on that ( if that's even possible as I think this is more skill then technique).
Again, another awesome series. Thanks Uncle NS!
Paráda, na to se krásně kouká. Hodně dobře udělané! Díky!
Outstanding model as usual. I really like your process of weathering the model. Again your personality is what separate you from the other you tubers. Your camera work and editing is to my point of view flawless. Thank you again for sharing with us. Hopefully one day you get wild and do a sci-fi type tank maybe just maybe in the GW line. I would love to see the weathering process on a tank that is not army green or grey ish. But I do realize that this might not be what you intend to on your channel.
Uncle Night Shift these videos have so many great tips. I think I need to go through your whole channel's content with a pen and notepad!
Hands down the best modelling channel on KZread! Just hope COPPA doesn't end it!
Excellent series, thoroughly enjoyed this 👍
awesome video as always mate.I really liked the tip on using real dirt .I have learned so much from this channel.Thanks for always giving tips and techniques your by far my favorite utube channel and the best modeler I have seen

"This is my model weathering store!" I say as I point to my backyard.... But seriously, nature can offer an excellent selection of stuff to use in your models or dioramas, plus it's pretty much free!
Once again, amazing work my friend! Cheers!
Amazing result. Can't wait to see next video.
03:25 😂😂 The dirt effects are brilliant, it’s almost a shame to finish this tank. Looking forward to the next one!
Awesome KV-1 Uncle Martin!
Excellent! Looks like a full-size tank now.
Well, entering the controversy of the week, (Coppa, Ftc and plastic modesl videos on youtube) This is the perfect example of how to transform a toy, into hardcore entertainment for adults. NOT FOR CHILDRENS. Great job my friend, as ever.
Nice Projekt. I Like the fact that the Chain is ,,real,, fixed so the thank got a real history
I didn't know how you could make Fridays any better, but here comes Night Shift putting out great videos on Fridays to kick off the weekend right.
Amazing as always sir, what a difference!
High quality content, so many interesting techniques!
Nice work as usual. I've always used diluted white glue to secure dirt and debris. then a full coat secured it further.
Always look forward to notifications of a new video. Great technique owith the debris on the tank. Look forward to new project & videos. Have a great weekend.

"Grabs popcorn" - Yo, inner child, come out here, got something to show you!!! It's awesome!!!
VERY NICE as usual!!!! more 1/72!!!!!
Interesting that is, but what makes me happy is that this KV is now complete and you squashed the best possible result out of it :)
Very interesting, a lot of possibilities. Thanks

Amazing work🤔Great master👍
Cool, haven't watched it yet since it was uploaded a mere minute ago, but I know it will be great
Another awesome model bro 👍
Great work, top video.
Dear Uncle NightShift, your inspiring videos are well explained, humourous, and the cinematography is well done. The complete package to have a successful channel. I now look forward to my Fridays more than ever. With the Mandalorian out on the same day, I am so excited for Fridays! I am so anxious to finish my aircraft and get started on my tanks. Hopefully we will get to see some of your expert craftsmanship in a desert type of environment; this environment has seen many conflicts throughout the years and multiple era of tanks would definitely be a must see series from my favourite Uncle!

...I do both scale models and miniatures...I use the techniques for scale models on warhammer and it gives awesome results, it cuts the time spent on figures and gives incredible effects...also paints ( like Tamiya, Model Master, Vallejo, Gunze), glues and cements ( Tamiya, Gunze, Revell) and effects (like AK Interactive, MiG Jimenez, Life Color) made for scale model kits are way better than those made by citadel...
Simply fantástic!!!

A comment... because you asked for 'a comment' if we liked the video :) As always, unbelievable work dude! It's hard to appreciate how detailed it is from your video because when it's done properly, you can't see the scale. at 1/72 that thing must be pretty small in real life yet it looks like the real thing!
Love it!
If I may I'll add a couple of suggestions: I use diluted white glue to fix things on dioramas and models. Once dry you cannot remove it by any solvent but only mechanically. I also use a lot a variety of medical clays that come in different shades; the consistency is that of a powder a little bigger than the usual color pigment, and mixed with water, acrylic thinner or diluted white glue can produce dust, rain shades or mud respectively. HTH Cheers
FABULOUS!😃
Okay now I'm very curious to see how Uncle Night Shift will tackle a MiniArt interior tank kit
