@@tonysun2472 Went to sleep at 3AM because I was finishing a new video, woke up at 11, started exporting the finished video, did some modelling while the computer was hissing and steaming, then started catching up with everyone and responding to e-mails, messages and comments, went for a quick ride in the mountains, and now I'm here enjoying some pizza and a cold one 😁
@@panadatm the building is not really for everyone, for some reasons like, impatience, lack of time, etc. Personally I love the whole process, the building, painting detailing and weathering because I have time and I enjoy it. But some others might be the opposite, either having time or enjoying just the building or the painting or just watching someone else do it. I'm not trying to sound bashful just a little insight
I like building because I’m not great at painting( and I’m learning how to use my airbrush)😀 the best part is when you put the decals on and can see what it will be like when your done
That is biggest pro of being an armor modeler compared to making ships, aircrafts or cars: We can fuck it up and we can fuck it up badly - And then throw mud, tarps or storage on there and call it a feature.
This is unbelievably relatable. The drive sprocket is bent ? Don't sweat it, let's just say the tank crashed into something. Oh, I lost a headlight, bummer... Let's say the crew lost it in a sandstorm ! Ah shoot, I broke the hull MG... Ah fuck it, let's carve another one with my hobby blade. It 1/48 scale, my vision's so blurry I can't see the difference anyway.
FINALLY A BRITISH TANKKK :) And also great work with everything I never realised how much work making a video was until i tried it. Keep up the good work!
I have to say that I simply love watching your videos. Very interesting and informative with an added hint of humour. You are one excellent modeller who I learn from with each video of yours I watch. Keep up the great work and many thanks my friend.
I have to agree that the crusader really looks awesome!. What about making a Churchill tank in the future?, I really think it would be something totally different especially if you build one without the side fenders, It’s my favorite Tank so I might be biased but it would be amazing :D
At first I thought this was going to be a bit boring- until you started fretting with the texture around the bolts and then you mentioned being stoked about building a base for it! We're so proud of you Uncle! We still have to work on your aversion to figures though...

OMG. I'm so happy you are building the crusader... I like this tank on a special level (World of Tanks). I love you're channel. You're building the most accurate and detailed models on the internet. Thanks for showing us all your ways of putting all those awesome technics in your models! Love your channel👍🏻❤️
Uncle Night Shift: "The traditionally useless string for tow cables" String: "😮 I am trying my best! At least I'm better than molded on tow cables!" Molded on tow cables: "😒😔"
Great video again! Love the volume level differences between your voice and background music. Could you please do one of two things: 1. Explain what qualities that Wilder products have that you like best 2. Suggest a few other product options because Wilder has paused shipping orders until covid19 is under control. THANKS EVEN IF YOU DO NOTHING --LOVE YOUR VIDEOS!!!
I had and have a hard time remembering "pewter" for things like old Warhammer models too, because tin is "Zinn" in German as you might probably know.. And let's be honest here guys, it basically and usually is just that - tin. Also, why are they "tin soldiers" instead of "pewter soldiers"? It's really confusing at times. From Wikipedia: "Pewter (/ˈpjuːtər/) is a malleable metal alloy composed of 85-99% tin, mixed with approximately 5-10% antimony, 2% copper, bismuth, and sometimes silver.[1]" As usual, nice video :) Keep them coming!
Yea im german and it confused tf out of me i went to google translate and it said Zinn (Tin), then i translated Tin and it was Zinn Then i was like *p a n i k*
I've been watching your videos for a little while and just wanted to say you're a fantastic model maker. Your videos are a treat to watch, and to have playing in the background whilst I do my own art projects. I also friggin love British WW2 tanks, the Churchill Tank possibly being my favourite tank overall, so this Crusader is ticking all my boxes. Hope to see more projects like this in the future!
Nice, I like the instructions for scratch build details. I tried to make the rivets with thick aluminium (food containers) over an hard eraser, but I had more miss than success. Last time, I used my old cutting mat, and it's perfect.
Have you seen Ebroin's Miniatures? That dude can do literally anything with a toothpick, it's 50% inspiring and 50% maddening. He uses magic sculpt though
Excellent video again mr. Uncle nightshift! All the way through the video I was rooting for the 3 color desert scheme (sand,dark brown and light blue). I was always amazed by the "toy tank" look of the 3 color desert scheme and the actual use of it
Let the great caunter debate begin! Seriously, though, I love your updates, your willingness to share and educate, and your skill. Always a pleasure to watch, Martin.
Have you thought about uploading your 3D modeled stowage to your patreon? I think it would be nice to have a wider range of in-scale and easily printable stowage and more incentive for people is always good.
Hey Uncle Night Shift! I call the foil: "Lead foil" and I get it from Wine bottle tops. It is thicker and heavier than "tin foil". Hey Mr Night Shift, your English is really wonderful. I am very impressed with your speaking and love your content. Please be well, sir!!!!
It is so funny watching one of your videos and one of Plasmo's on the same day, and just hearing the entirely different reactions when it comes time to add stowage and other extras!
I think Crusader tanks are the most underrepresented tanks as far as manufacturers are concerned. Don't know why because they have a very unique shape. Can't wait for next Friday Martin
Thanks . Looks fun and interesting and so small.. Amazing job. 1/35 is small enough for me.. maybe some day I'll try a 1/48 tank. Still waiting for that cast Soviet turret.. Keep up the good work.
THANK YOU FOR THE RIVET TECHNIQUE! I really need it for various steampunk scratch builds. I will let you know how annealed copper foil works because I HAVE copper foil and I'm too lazy to order sheet pewter. CHEERS!
You're the first channel I've ever turned on notifications for, I'm not sure how you managed that lol. I'd also like to humbly suggest something with the glorious 17pdr in a future build. (I'm not even British, just saying) Tankyou.
I'm currently working on this kit and also the cruisader AA variant as well at the minute. My local hobby store had both of them together as a package deal and I couldn't walk past it.
Nice done. I have great sentiment for Crusader, one of my first tanks in 1/72 scale was nice Crusader from Revell. So, great to see that from Tamiya. All the best for You! ;)
I love your videos and I wait for fridays just to watch your videos. thank you for your contribution to this community. (currently building a tiger 2 whilst watching your video)
for the diy rivets they make soldering balls in sizes around 0.7mm - 0.2 mm. might be better than punching your own one at a time and are a few thousand for dollar or two. just google soldering balls or solder reballing. keep up the great work!
Awesome! Finally someone showing some love to a British tank! The crusader is a very good looking machine, and has an awesome name too, what's not to like? As a fan of British armour, I can't wait to see how this one turns out!
That idea with using mr. surfaceer 500 diluted to a wash to fill into gaps is a great idea. Definatly useing that next time, as I HATE WHEN THE PIN WASH DISAPPEARS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
MOOOORRRREEEEE!!! :D by the way, you have helped me get back into modeling. I have 3 Zvezda 1/144 planes to make, so, time to build! best of luck to you
Louvred. Top and bottom are fitted below the bracket, middle one is sitting on top of the bracket which gives the uneven spacing. All three should be on top. Unlike you to make a boo-boo like that but at least it makes you seem more human. Great video as ever Martin. You are a true artist.
1:48 is really not my scale, i only build 1:35 but the time to watch is still well spent, good camerawork, and i like your general weathering style, not to much but just enough. Keep up the work and ill keep watching
I dont know if you know this but ca filler is just baking soda, you can usually buy it in big bags for cheap. I found this out watching people hand make fishing lures.
I hope everyone's having a wonderful day! Thanks again for all your support lately!

3:02 excellent wheel alignment.
Best technique ever for making bolted on grabhandles!!! Lets all make grab handles and bolts!
