Let's Build: Realistic Rusty Train Diorama!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 9 май 2024
- My friends, railroad dioramas are a completely different miniature world than historical military sceneries, but they can be made using the same construction and painting methods!
Tonight we'll look at a recent release from AK - the Breuer IV rail shunter in 1/35th scale. I found a reference image so intriguing that I've based the entire scene on it. These small happy projects are simply the best!

As such, I'm happy to use their products/services, and show them in my work.

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.
i use muh frends all the time
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
i wanted to but then remembered that it was fully painted in the thumbnail
Guilty!!
It's that panel sliding sound! I'm so conditioned by it lol
I had too, it's the 'don't touch that it's hot' reflex
(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! 😊
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
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.
Best model maker on the Internet. Such an inspiration.
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.
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 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
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
I love VMS , put in about $400 order every year and I’m never disappointed
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.
Your dioramas always have a story to tell. You can see that this little pancake train has lived a colourful life, great job dude.
Ma’Friend! As a railway modeller this is awesome!!!
Excellent rust technique. Using airbrush to create light rust after chipping is master class 👍
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.
0:30 love the Borderlands 2 reference to Krieg🤣
It's always nice to see a new Night Shift video drop!! Thank you Martin for sharing your talents! The bloopers are awesome!!😂😂
When it comes to rust effects, you simply have NO equal!!!
This is some Metro : Exodus level grime. Love it.
Please do some longer videos concentrating on individual techniques. That would be great. A book would be nice too. Thanks
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…
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.
Seeing your style and efficiency shift over has been a joy.
This is awesome, such a small diorama, but the feeling of an entire train yard!!
Babe wake up, Nightshift just uploaded
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!
My dude, my favorite and most talented scale modeler and painter on RUclips. 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.
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.
i absolutly LOVE the krieg reference at the start.... I AM THE CONDUCTOR OF THE POOP TRAIN!!
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.
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
I have been waiting for Uncle Nightshift to make something railway related for a long, long time. Finally!
I've never seen those grass sea balls before. Neat.
You're diorama turned out great.
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
Oh, Martin, I would have loved to see how you did the inside of the 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
Extraordinary job, my friend………..😎🦾
Wow, you work copper foil just like Tomas from Laser Creation World. You contain multitudes, Maestro Kovach.
Great work as always . You inspire me to build more and better dioramas .
AMAZING Work .
Mike Espo.
God Bless.
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.
As much as I prefer stuff that does stuff... I can learn here too. Thanks!
Great looking diorama. My only gripe would be the flattened motor. It looks comically large for such a small shunter.
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
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.
AS USUAL, EPIC WORK
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.
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.
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!
Uncle--as always--a pleasure to watch. Love the method of the subtle green over the white for the industrial base...one I plan to use on a car model. Prost, brother!
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.
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
Awasome. But also depressing because you set the bar so high! 😉
Really beautiful deviant from your usual subject. The weathering came out amazing 😊
Love watching you create ❤😊❤
I'm guessing that you are finally tackling that huge Soviet self-propelled 403 mm howitzer.
Haha finally WE have outtakes again. How long ago were the old classic ones? 4 years? 🎉
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?
Absolutely incredible fun to watch you work on this one. Seems like a fantastic kit!
This video came across like a sales pamphlet.
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 😁😉
Just this week i painted some really distressed looking railroad ties in H0-scale. They are specially made with cracks etc. it was interesting.
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...
Amazing work! Love the rust effect
What a strange model, never seen a loco like it. But you did a great job on it, it has so much patina!
Your the best uncle nightshift !
YES! He dives into my realm!
an amazing diorama. Great to see the varied techniques you use.
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.
Absolutely fantastic work
Another Masterpiece from the Master!❤❤
What a cool and unique subject. I really enjoyed this one. KUTGW!
Excellent video! Thank you.
"Build your models, not just collect them" - amen! ;-)
Another masterpiece Martin.
Big respect. You make a nice model into a wonderfull beautiful one-of-a-kind piece. Masterwork. Thx for showing
ahh .. my main hobbies combine. I am happy.
Your really making me want to step out of my realm of fantasy models and try a scalemodel kit!
t’s funny how the wind plays with your hair)))) It’s amazing how in such a small area of the diorama we managed to convey a cozy atmosphere of abandonment.
Man, I need this in my life!
Useful techniques. Will use them for very different purposes.
That is absolutely outstanding Martin !!! Such a cool little subject 👍🏼👍🏼
Thanks so much for sharing! your creativity blows my mind ! ✌Canada✌
My Slovakian wife said one thing - toto je chrumkavé ❤
What an incredible job you have done
disgustingly brilliant as usual , fantastic .
Outstanding video and build.
best intro ever
Here in the states that “steel rope” is called a guy wire. We install them all the time on corner/deadend power poles (I’m a lineman lol). They hold the tension from the conductors to keep the poles from coming over. Looks great as always! I especially appreciate how convincing that old pole looked lol
This Video is going to be about... I'm taking a walk today... Uhh... Thanks for the Bloopers!!!
Now we can remember that you're still one of us regular people!
Hats off to the Master, Martin! That Loco is Beautiful!!!
Finally!!! A train diorama.
It looks amazing ❤
now that's different. top build.
I love when you do other stuff other than tanks your Volkswagen is my favorite diorama love your work keep up the good work.
ABSOLUTELY GREAT!😮😅
Awesome work as always. I think this type of vehicle is called a dreisine which were used by railroad inspection and maintenance.
Amazing quality as always
My guess for next project is a 1930's German farm tractor
1:08 no way! never thought of that!
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 am amazed. This is beautiful!
Good afternoon Uncle Night Shift, very happy to see you back at the modelling desk, that was a absolutely stunning build, and your weathering was at another level, best regards from Australia, Les
I love Trains and i love your great work ❤👍
