"I don't really like this model so let's spend a lot of time heavily modifying it"
I expected no less.
That's after he blew his 401k buying the kit and 3 kilos of parts.

Really puts it into perspective
It's always a good day when night shift uploads.
Yep makes my day
Amen

good night** c'mon dude!

You are such a big inspiration to me night shift you've really gotten me to go out of my comfort zone and try new things thank you so much for that I've even suggested you to a bunch of my friends
Have you tried making a rusting tank targets scene or an unsung hero, the Armoured Recovery Vehicle, scene? You could really indulge your rust and moss fetish😁👍🏻
Have a good weekend.
That mantlet looks so much cooler with the dust cover mounting! I’m looking forward to seeing you take on another rusty finish, nice work!
I had the privilege in 2020 of working on the restoration of one of these brutes, which was itself a gate guard in a sorry state, [similar to those range targets] so the Conq has a special place in my heart. Nice work.
If you're planning on adding the side stowage bins, do note that on the real tank, they're made of aluminium so they didn't rust like the fenders/mudguards did [those were completely full of holes.] Also, there were inexplicable bullet-sized, but non-penetrating dents in said aluminium stowage bins, presumably from blanks/airsoft/some other kind of weak projectile. Maybe you could include something like that in the final model, though at this stage it's probably too late. I am thoroughly impressed by those details on the gun mantlet's dust cover mounts.
I worked on one at the Imperial War Museum trying to keep it in running condition, this was in 1979 - 1981.
Great work! I suggest a challenge where you take a relatively simple kit (ie Tamiya Panther) and build it OOB with no extra media AT ALL! And see what the end result is!
Cool idea!
I always look forward to Fridays because of this.
@@NightShiftScaleModels Yes and it must be the (dreaded) Panzerkampfwagen V Panther Ausf. A (MM165) to see if even you can fix that piece of horror... Styrene and sheet metal scratch building is allowed, or more precise, required! :P
Bonus is that it's so cheap it's almost nothing but it's the kit that has singlehandedly made the most first scale model builders to quit the hobby in less than one hour due to the shady quality?! I've tried three times, as an exercise, to fix the kit but they never even ended up in the corner of shame and instead went straight in the bin...
I'm more than happy to buy the kit for you just to see you attack it! It will generate a lot of content for you since there's so much room for fixing it so it's a real winner winner from that point of view! ;)
If you do this I promise I will attempt it the fourth time and not send it to the bin before finishing it - and I will send photos as proof doing it!
This I'd love to see you having a go at but you can't be angry with me after started it... ;)
I'd love to see a someone build and modify an old Monogram Armor kit in a Homage to the Late Shepard Paine...his pack in leaflets with Monogram kits were what inspired me as a kid. Another idea I'd love to see is maybe do a diorama on the book Devils of D-day by Graham Masterton. A spooky tale about a Demonic Sherman tank...and with Halloween just around the corner...
Night Shift is life. Keep going! If it’s a target practice piece, I’m curious to see how you give it that torn up look. A bent barrel would be cool.
Man, the work you do is absolutely amazing, and that's an understatement! Cheers from 🇺🇸👍
Aw hell yeah, one of my favorite heavy tanks along with the M103.
A model that's definitely a headscratcher but the amount of details it has makes it a beauty to look at even unfinished as it is.
I love the small details!
Thrilling prospect! Sorry to hear that you got sick. Stay safe. 🙏
A beautiful model, I am inspired by the finish of my projects. Thanks for this.
I'm not sure I've even seen Night Shift build a kit WITHOUT buying all the available aftermarket parts!
One detail that is missing is the fuel filler caps on the outer engine decks 👍
Brilliant as always, much love from America.
Awesome!!
There is an actual Conqueror at Bovington tank museum
THE Tank Museum
So manufacturers had no excuse for not getting it right.
* I had a dose of the virus "of unknown origin" recently too .. 2 years plus after it arrived here
Looking forward to seeing this one come together. Get well soon buddy 🙏
Awesome work as always! I really like the worn out models, even civil cars, abandoned dioramas etc. Waiting for more content like the old vw bug. :) Keep up the great work!
Get well soon!
This is awesome! Also, I'd love to see a battle ship or fighter plane diorama one of these days. I think that would be awesome if you wanted do that.
This is going to be an awesome series!
Oh my god posted 9 seconds ago!!
Awesome video. I know these are a lot of work for you but it’s super relaxing for me to watch. Keep up the great work.
You should display this when it’s done, next to the Chi Nu.
It looks great, however hard targets are covered in craters and holes, they've literally had thousands of training rounds fired at them.
Hello Night shift... Great job, as always. One question: when a modern self-propelled howitzer? Thank you 👍🏼 👍🏼 👍🏼
I cant believe you made a video about *Cockeror* 😳😳
I like to see you do your thing with a gundam model, a bit different from your normal models but would be cool to see you do one.
Always fun to see the sheer amount of detail you put into your work. Just amazes me
Great as always! Looking forward to more! I did a T34 1942 mod recently and a Kamaz 4350 Mustang with environments and learned a some great tricks from your channel :) Thanks!
Make a super conqueror, put 2 spaced armor around the turret
Hey uuhh. I have a few shelf queens myself. Mind if I send them your way?No but seriously that Conqueror already looks beautiful.
best part of Friday...:)
Look who's back from another unannounced brake...
Hope you're doing good tho
For ppl who r tryna use this as a reference if building the same tank, they’ll have trouble as your getting pieces from other kits XD (I love ur content and I’m gonna use your T-90 vid as a reference to what I’m building, same company, same tank and same qualityj
Hi Great channel
Have you ever thought about diversing to something totally different.....I`m in the middle of doing 1/16 Steam traction engine by Revell. It would be a real challenge for you I think to take something like that and turn it, say, in to a scene of one rusting away in a barn or farm yard like you did with that wonderful VW Beatle
By the way my main job is restoring antique boxes and I`ve used a couple of your techniques for that mainly on a couple of automotons that came my way
I have always wondered how do you add cloth or sheets on your models. I am starting a pzII.ausf F/G by Tamiya and really want to put a flag on the roof but dont know how..........
I know you focus on armour models, but I would love to see you do some ships and aircraft to see what you would end up with, for example 1/350 IJN Mogami and 1/35 Me109. Love the videos and the information to improve my modeling skills.
That Dragon kit is very bad, but I have to say I actually really love the subject, such a big strange monster of a tank.
Love your videos!! The detail you put in is amazing.
1 question, did you mount the tracks in opposite directions on purpose?
Mounted them according to those abandoned hulks from photos :)
@@NightShiftScaleModels i knew it wouldnt be left to chance with you ;) Thank you for getting back, and creating such interesting vids!
I really like you videos and I am going to start making my own models and dioramas but I have a few questions, where did you get you airbrush and what is it, and what is an affordable airbrush you think would be good for beginners?
Looks amazing as always!
Love the vids, can you make a diorama with this tank at a range or a scrapyard?
Uncle night shift cheers up my day
Thank you , Uncle Martin .
🐺
the bigest respect just for you
Do you use Mr. Metal Primer for the photo edge?
I absolutely love this model, but it's quite pricey where I like (UK) - should I save up and get it, or get two models which I like a bit less?
Btw: Thanks your inspiration and dedication Night Shift, you helped me improve my technique massively, and thanks to you (and to the annoyance of my girlfriend), I have a fantastic collection of 7 1:35 scale tanks and self-propelled guns - thank you!
get the amusing hobby kit, cheaper and more accurate than this 💀
A Conqueror is not an exciting model? Would be an insta buy for me if there was one in 1/72nd
As a huge model it doesn't have that much weathering potential :) I bought a book from Tankograd where they're photographed with some minor fender damage, but nothing spectacular.
Glad To Hear You're Recovering Well and Your Work DEFINITELY PROVES IT 👍👍 Have a Blessed Wknd Uncle NS 🤗🤗 Gary.
Hope you feel a lot better, very soon. Good to see that you're able to continue to model and film, as we need our regular fix 😉 lol
Interesting Project. Looking forward to the paint job and Diorama I guess. 🤘
Next interesting tank. All the best for You, stay healthy! ;)
May I recommend the "Abandoned supra of the mountain" for one of your dioramas? There is a modified MK3 Toyota Supra that was evidently crashed off a mountain road by a youth driving enthusiastically in Japan. The car was subsequently abandoned, and is still there 30 years later. Noriyaro has a video of the car in it's current state for reference.
👍👍👍👍
*Watching at your excellent work as i have the Amusing Hobby kit in stach it's not tomorrow that i'll start the build. Soon the paint?*
You can say this model is a "bad dragon".
I understood that reference
God bless our fallen queen
If it is possible you should add some hit marks, like marks from bounced off shells, to make it more like an training target
Get those Archer Transfers while you can. They're closing up shop in November.
Hi Martin, Great job, as usual ! Suggestion for a next project... why don't you built a tank with snorkel like UsM60 A1? And of course on a diorama "under water"...
This video almost inspired me to finish my B-17 shelf Queen.
Almost.
What’s the next for you Uncle Nighty?? The same ol round of figuring out the subject, buying all the parts, starting the build, finishing, recoding.
I serious, I go through the same thing on a smaller level.
What’s the next pathway of enjoyment and learning for a master modeler.
You don’t call yourself a figure paint but we all believe your figures are incredible. What’s more is your always developing and experimenting with new techniques.
Your armor modeling is spot on and always fresh.
What is the next chapter in Uncles modeling experience?
Love your channel, the sense of humor, your skills, and work. Best wishes!!!
Friday, just finished the work day and a video pops up from Uncle Night Shift. Perfect timing.
nice...built the zvezda sherman M4A3 (76) ? its good even has molded serial numbers on turrets(2xversions) and on bogies real nice detail sherman for £20 if shop around
Those old military tank targets usually got their vision blocks blown out by numerous close range explosions 😆😆😆...
I've hit a few of them when I was a 81mm Mortar Gunner and even had a round land right in the Commander's Cupola lmao 😂😂😂
Your "Bending Tool making Patreon" needs to go into full mass production. They'd make a fortune from your subscribers I think.
Hello my friend and congrats for your work.Would you like to share with us what equipment use for your videos? camera, microphone, tripod,stands,software etc? thanks in advance
Ed Webster from the RUclips channel Armoured Archives was allowed acces to the Kirkudbright ranges where he encountered a few very shot up Conquerors. you might like his video's on the ranges!
A nightshift, I’m building the rye field models tiger 1, but I completely forgot about primer, would you say it’s necessary for the painting process, keep in mind I’ll buy the friul metal tracks as well, thanks
Yes I found the perfect video to watch while I eat.
Random question, Uncle. How do you know how large to make tiny details, like bolts? Do you just eyeball what size looks appropriate, or do you find the actual size on the real thing and convert them based on the scale? Curious since you always seem so certain that "this bolt is 2mm, that grab handle is 4mm, etc."
Conqueror was my love in World of Tanks. Such a nice tank in all means and purposes, had extreme amount of satisfaction from it. Design wise, I really love how it looks. It's something in between atomic age and industrial age design, like best of previous age and some cool stuff from next age. glad to see you working on it, really love this tank.
The Chieftain just did a rush tour of an armor museum in Finland which had a couple examples of tank turrets with different shell and antitank gun hits. A proper "range queen" is going to need a few such beauty marks, don't you think?
Omg a Conqueror!
Now there's just 2 tanks left I want to see Night Shift do: Centurion and Chieftain
so i went to War Thunder and Wikipedia
doesn't the Conqueror have Ballistic Armour Protection or was it optional
Interesting. If it came off he wrong end of a gunnery range, shouldn't it be full of holes? An opportunity for creating penetrations from different calibers...
Dear Mr. night shift……..I tried joining your Patreon site on the top band but was dismayed at the ability to search for historic videos. I would love it if there was the ability to search in the fashion of RUclips with the separate column to the left or right. If it’s the way I have it set up please advise. Martin.
I would never throw out an incompleted model, regardless of how complete or messed up it might be. There's always something you can do with it
Удивительно насколько сильно Мартин заморочился с мелкими деталями!
I was wondering. Do you just throw out the leftover parts from kits or do you keep them for possible later use, like kitbashing and such?
Maybe raised earlier, but what about a Russian tank being pulled by a Ukrainian tank diorama? Sell it for a good cause to help the refugees/ those left behind.
Baking soda in some water is the best way to clean up flux. It nuturalizes the acid.
About 2 years ago I was working at Tidworth barracks, where I parked was a Conqueror on display I had never seen a real one before I can say there are massive, one of the most impressive military vehicles I have ever seen.
I’d add a mini name onto it. Elisabeth, after the late Queen.
Seems appropriate, as it’s a British tank after all.
EDIT: add it onto another British tank instead, seems in poor taste to do it to a destroyed tank, now she’s gone.
Nah… this was plenty exciting 🤷♂️
Thanks 🍷
Has an absolute beast of the early cold war. A huge and beastly tank that was designed to fight like a gladiator in a nuclear arena against hordes of smaller minions as well as enemy combatants of a similar size and weight class.
Nightshift: Meh, uninspiring. Time to make a range target.
It’s a nice shaped tank. Your attention to detail is On another level……..wow!
Friends: Yeah its friday!!!
Me who only knows what Nightshift day is and has no idea of what friday is: ?
Very nice, tons of talent. What manufacturer makes the punch you are using?
When will you do some airplane diorama? Like a ww1 Fokker...
Where did you get you're models from ? You are making me want to try making a diorama 🤔😂
hello, it turned out great) do you want to collect Sherman from Meng? :)
Meh crew class I want to relax with quality now
Your projects keeps blowing mi mind :O
dude, the quality of your videos doesn't let me down. I'm a fan
Ma Friends! When you hear that, you know its going to be a good episode.
