I love that you do not pretend that you build them with magic.I can see one of the most honest tutorials when I watch yours.When something is hard you say it.When you know an easier way,you easily show it!Thank you very much.
@@NightShiftScaleModels Dear Mr. Night Shift , I really enjoy watching your videos , I find your narrative fun to listen to Anyway , I would like to share one of my techniques for chipping , I have many more for photoetch , texture and coloring that I would like to share with all modelers , only not the time to devout to my own channel perhaps you could try these and do a video ? Hmm , Chipping , you need a piece of scrap styrene , diluted white glue and silver leaf , not foil paint a light coat of glue on the styrene , allow to dry until tacky , then lay the leaf on top , Don't worry about the wrinkles , with your bare index finger start tapping the leaf , you will notice tiny flakes build up on your finger , then just go tap your finger on the grab hooks , edge's , what ever , You need to experiment tapping the leaf to make smaller or larger flakes as desired , I have tried other tools beside my finger , a brush quickly gums up at the tip , sticks don't transfer well after you have chipped you can do a light burnish to seat the flakes , Hope you try this
I've been having a pretty crap day mentally, so seeing this video in my feed gave me an enormous sense of wellbeing. I'm really looking forward to this series.
Hey uncle, can you try to build a kit from a “gift kit”, the ones with everything included and just use what us in the kit? I feel like it would be funny to see how someone good at modelling deals with beginner things
15:04 >"why are there four cables?" two provide current to either electromagnet- the other two provide voltage to the electric or hydraulic motors that raise and lower the roller so they can be lifted up off the ground when not in use.
It’s was a treat to get the notification that you’re building the BMR as I am close to finishing my Trumpeter T-72B1 I’ve been working on and off for almost 2 years super excited to see how amazing this will come out. A great inspiration and thank you for sharing your knowledge, Martin 😀
Sometimes I think I really want to get into model making. Then I watch one of these videos and realize a certain kind of masochistic madness is required
This is a very challenging model to build. 1300 parts, with all of the tiny surfaces, curves, and corners create an interesting building experience. This reminds me of putting a 10000 piece puzzle together.
I loved the tracks on the Meng BMPT kit. If you cut the main track parts with a scalpel at the correct angle there is almost no cleanup required. Same for the central guide horn parts. The outer parts are rubber and have their sprue gates on the inside, so cleanup is pretty much no visual factor at all. For an injection molded kit this is pretty amazing.
I still can't get over the joke you made about the metal barrel for the Jagdtiger. Also, I started doing cast textures on 1/72 T-55s using Mr. Surfacer 500. Not quite as intense but it is great for how little effort goes into prepping the stuff. I love your channel.
I just stumbled across your channel and I'm loving it. I mostly do Warhammer miniatures but there are so many little tips and tricks to pick up and you do a really good job of explaining things. Keep up the good work, my dude!
Very nice model, Uncle. Modern mines can be laid by hand, or scattered from cluster bombs. They can be pressure sensitive, sound sensitive or magnetic sensitive (proximity sensors). They can also be set to detonate randomly, or to switch off for a while when a nearby mine detonates, all to demoralise an enemy who will be too frightened to clear them manually, hence the mine clearance tanks. This particular tank looks as though it can clear pressure mines using the rollers, and plough up mines between the rollers. It can possibly detonate mines remotely using magnetic fields or noise generators, but a major issue would be shaped-charge, directional mines, hence the ERA additions to the hull. It may use the MG for remote deflagration of bombs and mines. It may even have defences against top-down attack from parachute mines that can optically target vehicles by spinning around as they drop.
What an impressive looking model. Not just the part count, but visually that thing put together is so cool. I think it's all that reactive armor, and a lot of the wires and cabling. Can't wait to see the next episode with the paint!
just wanted to say something nice because i think you deserve way more subscribers than you currently have. your videos are amazing and they genuinely make my day.
i just want to thank RUclips for providing me with another video to watch while im eating that has nothing to do with my interest, encouraging me to do this, and providing me a false hope that i can do this hobby one day.
I got hold of some of the VMS debonder a couple of weeks ago and it worked amazingly! The last debonder i had just used to turn both the plastic surface and the debonder glue to a goo like mush and would cause more problems than it was worth. This VMS one is well worth buying
I am building a Leopard 2 A7+ from Meng, and the tracks themselves demoralized me to the point I stopped working on them. I might just glue the visible pieces on. Good kit, but for $80 it’s kinda worth it, I guess, love your videos and I learn a lot from them!
I've already fiinished the construction, after this video I found some detail to be improved, so... disassamble some parts, texture, and lets start again before painting, thanks!!!
To save you a little research time i can tell you any vehicle like this that has a welded together body is going to have multiple pass welds so you can just go ahead with your texturing method. Great video 👍
Good luck with this. I built it last year and the mine-roller rig nearly broke my will to live. I recommend the RFM Assault Breacher vehicle after this to see which one causes the most stress!
and yet again my favorite modeler is doing a great job, always when i fade away from it, because its now more than a year ago sience i was blazing away at modeling again, once i watch this, i always get that "itch" again. thank u ! u have such a nice karakter, u always tell it in a intresting way, to the point and with some jokes occasionaly. Love it !
Really impressive moodel! Those extra added details really make it a work of art. Can you tell us a bit about how the kit supplied tracks go together? Can't wait to see this painted.
Your look at 0:30 is relatable :D I looked the same when I opened the box of the RFM Tiger with full interior. The amount of parts just kicked me in the head like a horse :D Looking forward to what you will do with this beast! Cheers
Meng does put out some real monster kits! I've their M1 Assault Breecher in my stash along with their T-90, Panzerhaubitze & M2A3 Bradley. Great job, Martin! Can't wait to see next week's video!

Thats exactly what I thought too.

Been quite depressed lately, your positive energy and beautiful models have really cheered me up! Thanks man!
Stay strong and take care!
This would be a terrifying build when I’m still building the lower hull of the takom blitz jagdtiger
make sure to superglue those road wheels together and you're golden!
@@NightShiftScaleModels that is exactly what I did

about the wrinkles , with your bare index finger start tapping the leaf , you will notice tiny flakes build up

You need to experiment tapping the leaf to make smaller or larger flakes as desired ,
I have tried other tools beside my finger , a brush quickly gums up at the tip , sticks don't transfer well
after you have chipped you can do a light burnish to seat the flakes ,

Me looking at the K-Wagen: 🧐
Nice catch! It's in 1/200 scale, 1/100 wouldn't even fit on the print bed 😆
I've been having a pretty crap day mentally, so seeing this video in my feed gave me an enormous sense of wellbeing. I'm really looking forward to this series.

Haha, that sounds like a really painful challenge 😁
@@NightShiftScaleModels we believe in you
@@NightShiftScaleModels Yea! I know its painful but for a novice those gift kits are all we have
@@NightShiftScaleModels I would really like to see that.
I'll have to do a modern tank sooner or later...
ideal for winter lockdown, especially when it has 1000+ parts

>"why are there four cables?"
two provide current to either electromagnet-
the other two provide voltage to the electric or hydraulic motors that raise and lower the roller so they can be lifted up off the ground when not in use.
Fairly sure the "thick" cables are hydraulic lines to the mine rollers. Awesome model!
yeah, either that or pneumatic

Is it just me or is there at 8:39 minutes into the video there is a 3D printed K wagen super heavy at the top of the screen?
I have always been impressed with modellers doing even the simplest models, it takes alot of time and precision. You mate, you are on another level.
The wood grain effect on the ditching log……..Mind Blown!!
It's a lovely 1,300 piece kit. Now I'm going to add even more bits. Love this Channel!
now i gotta choose to pay attention to an online gym class or watching uncle night shift

That thing is massive ! both the model and the real vehicle. The armor texture is the icing on the cake. Can't wait to see the finished product.
Uncle Nightishift could build a tank made out of stick and stones I would still be watching ! Great project
The amount of detail you add to every one of these models makes my sleep deprivation worth it. I love every one of them... super jealous

Thanks Uncle Night Shift, I'm about to start a Tiran 4 interior kit from MiniArt. I was nervous but this video gave me the boost I needed!
Dear Martin, Outstanding workmanship once again! Looking forward to watching you paint this beast! Kind Regards Johnny
I cannot wait to see this painted. The mess of wires on the front looks absolutely amazing
Simply put, that many pieces and parts would scare the he'll out of me!!! Well done looking forward to watching the whole painting process.
I admire your great attention to detail. Even unpainted the model looks really good.
I really appreciate that kit manufactureres make models like this. Military vehicles are much mote than tanks, trucks and guns.

Night shift - the only man capable of adding "missing bolts".^^
I'm now prepared to do my Trumpeter T-80BVM with over 1000 parts
just wanted to say something nice because i think you deserve way more subscribers than you currently have. your videos are amazing and they genuinely make my day.
Now that's a lesson in super detailing. Looking up .4 lead wire and .2 wire for future builds. Can't wait for the next video.
"The brand new super-glue debonder Bosnian Bill and I made..." oh wait, different show.
You HAVE to build one of your scenic bases for it...it's so insanely cool that it deserves one
Dude, I swear. You are insane. You have so much attention to detail, its crazy. Well done man!
i just want to thank RUclips for providing me with another video to watch while im eating that has nothing to do with my interest, encouraging me to do this, and providing me a false hope that i can do this hobby one day.

Uncle nightshift once again does More than he needs to and even makes the barren model quite good looking if i say so myself
Wow! You are a top notch modeller! Beautiful build dude!
SUPER GLUE DE-BONDER! for a kitbasher like me that's a godsend!!!!! awesome video.
Yes you gave me the texture bug! I texture all my armour plates now. I love the acetone than stab with stiff brush method.
Looking rally forward to seeing you paint it!
Great build! Looking forward to the painting!
Wow, that's an absolute beast. Can't wait to see the painting process on this.👍
Amazing!. I don't think I will ever attempt to build this one,but I will use some of the techniques you showed on my 40k minis.
Thanks for the build! I have this kit at home, maybe I'll follow your tip, and get metal tracks too!
I am building a Leopard 2 A7+ from Meng, and the tracks themselves demoralized me to the point I stopped working on them. I might just glue the visible pieces on. Good kit, but for $80 it’s kinda worth it, I guess, love your videos and I learn a lot from them!
Wow mate. Beautiful job, looking forward to seeing it dressed up in green
I have a bunch of VMS stuff coming. Can't wait to try out their stuff.
That "měděný drát 0.2mm" left me speechlesss :D
I've already fiinished the construction, after this video I found some detail to be improved, so... disassamble some parts, texture, and lets start again before painting, thanks!!!
Love this build! All the extra details are perfection. This is why I look fwd to Friday’s. Great Job!
Friday, nothing interesting left to do, but then Night Shift uploads :D
Excellent model, excellent video, excellent Uncle) Thx for great content!
Can't wait to see how it looks painted..... keep up the great work!
You are really inspiring. Only through this video have I decided that I will now buy myself proper tweezers. :D Thank you so much :)
To save you a little research time i can tell you any vehicle like this that has a welded together body is going to have multiple pass welds so you can just go ahead with your texturing method. Great video 👍
each friday we have wonderful gift from you...thanks
15:53 "... still in my wheelhouse, ..."
Man you must have strange conversations with your psychiatrist. "No I don't hate myself, I *enjoy* the 1300 part tiny models."
Lovely!
what I'd love to see though is a diorama with 2+ 1/72 scale tanks in it
Thank Goodness It’s Night Shift Friday’s!
I think that if that "tank" was kitbashed with a turret, it could look like a modern KV-1 due to that hull design.
Me making a Areoplane: yes, this is very good
Night shift: oh I don't think that's enough
Fantastic build choice, I couldn’t have wished for more.
Good luck with this. I built it last year and the mine-roller rig nearly broke my will to live. I recommend the RFM Assault Breacher vehicle after this to see which one causes the most stress!
