Many thousands of years ago I saw an article in modeling magazine. The model was a Testors Land Rover. All painted up,rusted out,seat cushions had springs poking out. It was a fine example of why you do research. Land Rovers have aluminum bodies,no rust and the seats are foam rubber and notorious for being uncomfortable. Look forward to the next chapter Uncle Night Shift.
That's correct. Edd China is painfully restoring a Range Rover on his YT channel. The amount of rust on the chassis was just amazing. Didn't watch the episode dealing with the body, but the ones on the chassis... Dear God. A true rust bucket.
This is technically the second AK kit. AK35001 is the hard top SUV version of the FJ43. 35002 is the pickup/technical version you have. Both look like awesome kits that I need in my collection! Killer job on the build, as always!
Cool subject to build, I like those easy and less complicated projects. Can't wait for weathering stage because this model bring a looot of possibilities.
One of these days, either the curiosity alone, or something else is gonna drive you to do a Gundam, and good god I cannot wait to see your style applied to that, man. I do them myself, and it’s been your style and techniques that’s helped me.
Guntank would be great. Or maybe something from the 40K or Star Wars universe. I just want to see him apply a super realistic paint job to something fantasy, that'd be really cool.
I've literally been planning out a technical build all day, planning on buying a separate Toyota Hilux model and either a Tow, recoiless rifle, or soviet cold war AA gun to smack on the back. So funny he uploads this today
I am rally glad you mentioned your "cheap" air brush. Watching your videos got me into modeling again. I have an older Badger AB, but it is a siphon feed and is not fine enough for fine detailing and I can't spend the money on a pricey option. I will pick up a BD 130 and can finally finish that KV3 that my son built this summer.
As always, great work and video! Regarding your Airbrush, I have swapped to a Pasche Talon. They aren't the cheapest, but nor are they the most expensive, in the US a Talon kit sells for around $120. But what I love is the way they mark all the needles, aircaps, and tips for the appropriate size, and all the parts are MUCH more heavy duty, so they last a very long time and I never have to bust out the micrometer when changing from .5mm to .2mm to make sure I have all the right bits.
Brilliant! Love the blue they were also base coated white and painted blue I read but alot of old land crusers were just plain Jane white on a white primer
Superb job, as usual, Martin. 👍 We learn a lot of tricks with your videos, and the result is way ahead of other videos we can see on RUclips. Regarding the gap you got on the tail gate (3:40), you need to start gluing the side walls from the back end first, then going on with the gluing towards the front. This way you get no gap on the tail gate. Keep on with the good job !
Would love to see more technicals…I think they are great subjects for you, especially once you do some research and see the incredible array of home-brew mods out there. Also, because they are usually quite neglected, worn and weathered…. Just the thing for your style.
*I think that "CONTINENTAU" is for the copyright, AK don't want to pay this fee not to increase the price of its kit. Well done, the paint is delicious!*
Even in an unfinished state it looks great, all the shading just makes everything pop. I'm a real sucker for weathering though so looking forward to the finished model.
I don't use Lead for straps anymore! It breaks to easy... Now I paint Paper with Craft Paint! It's much stronger than Lead and is flexible. And you can have any color and the paint won't flake off.
One more week until I can watch a new exciting nightshift video. Just kidding. I loved this video. I know im not owed anything and im very grateful for this channel and the videos it is just wonderful to see new mind blowing videos!
If you like improvised AAA vehicles: BTR-D with ZSU-23-2 It's basically just the deployed ZSU trailer, strapped on top of the BTR-D. The 'feet' rest on wooden blocks and actually strapping it down (with scale ratchets) would look amazing. I think it's pretty cute and with the guns pointed up, would fit on just a small vignette, with some bushes and maybe a small tree.
I don't know if this is sacrilege or not, but man would I love to watch a series of you building, improving, and painting an iconic Warhammer 40k vehicle.
Well, I receive the best result in creating blankets, sheets, etc. when using a single layer of a paper handkerchief and deluded PVA glue. It is far mor adhesive and soft when putting it into place.
Personally, I like having a mix of "soft skins" mixed in with the armor. Jeeps, MUTTs, kubelwagens, etc. That FJ40 (?) is looking pretty awesome already.
Greetings my friend, another excellent build from one of the hobby's true masters, looking forward to the next installment, best regards from Australia.
Completely amazing ! I didn't understand what is that blue color.. could you tell me ? Or something similar maybe by Vallejo / Tamiya ? I noticed for the deck tan / white add for highlight.
If I'm not wrong, AK interactive made a very short amount of kits of a model of a Toyota pick-up a looong time ago, that should be the 001 model of the series. Keep on going with the great job you are doing with your vids. 👍👍👍
You should have wear and tear on the outer side of the driver's seat. If you can, add cigarette burns and simulate exposed foam from the seat cushion, while leaving the passenger seat in slightly better condition. Just look up used trucks and SUVs for sale to see what I mean.
Excellent video as usual.................But Dude, air brushes do not wear out. Mine is over 19 years old and has had a lot of paint go thru it. I'm even using the original needle
i know you said technicals arent your intrest but i think i tamiya pink panther would be a good build its not as complicated as some of the things you build however seeing how you would paint the pink colour would be good there is also some really good photos of the weathering on them
I don't know if you take requests but I'd really like to see a stridsvang 103 (b or c) featured on the channel. I think it would be an interesting tank to make and weather given the shape, and i also think it would a good and interesting challenge for you as well. Keep up the entertaining videos ma friend :)
![BLACK BAG - Official Trailer [HD] - Only in Theaters March 14](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/Du0Xp8WX_7I/mqdefault.jpg)
you should totally give technicals more love they're very weird and wild things
i second this, toyota hilux with Dshk
@@maybeblakemclemore I thrid this very rare to see.

I have been wanting to build something like this for a while. Needless to say, you did an absolutely amazing job.

I own a 1981 FJ43 and love seeing this model in a wartime configuration.
One of these days, either the curiosity alone, or something else is gonna drive you to do a Gundam, and good god I cannot wait to see your style applied to that, man.
I do them myself, and it’s been your style and techniques that’s helped me.
Hope does a Guntank first, if not a Type 61
For all that is Holy, never do a Gundam kit. Don't ruin this channel with that weird robot mess. Keep this channel as it is please.
Guntank would be great. Or maybe something from the 40K or Star Wars universe. I just want to see him apply a super realistic paint job to something fantasy, that'd be really cool.
Thank you so much until today I never knew there was a fiberglass pencil that's going to make my life so much easier
It's good to try something a little different every once in a while. Looking forward to part 2.
Hell yeah, new Uncle Nightshift video, my Friday morning is complete.

I'm always super excited when you upload something different! Love the main tank conent too but the occasional variation is just amazing!
Brilliant! Love the blue they were also base coated white and painted blue I read but alot of old land crusers were just plain Jane white on a white primer
Never thought about a curved blade making less contact with the plastic and thus being more precise in certain cases. I can see that coming in handy.
Can't wait for these on Friday!
Superb job, as usual, Martin. 👍

Great job on the Toyota, back in the 1970s they were the best bang for your buck in base line 4X4s.
Would love to see more technicals…I think they are great subjects for you, especially once you do some research and see the incredible array of home-brew mods out there. Also, because they are usually quite neglected, worn and weathered…. Just the thing for your style.
This already looks awesome and I know it's only going to get better from here, looking forward to the next video.
*I think that "CONTINENTAU" is for the copyright, AK don't want to pay this fee not to increase the price of its kit. Well done, the paint is delicious!*
Nice work as always! The body gaps around the front fenders and hood are pretty dead on for an old FJ 40, they're huge!
It’s a new kind of build for this channel and I like it! Maybe they all interactive can make humvees and stuff for like a Afganistán diorama
Even in an unfinished state it looks great, all the shading just makes everything pop. I'm a real sucker for weathering though so looking forward to the finished model.
Been a fan of theyre acrylics for years. Excited to see what models they come up with
A bit of subtle texturing never hurt anyone.
I don't use Lead for straps anymore! It breaks to easy... Now I paint Paper with Craft Paint! It's much stronger than Lead and is flexible. And you can have any color and the paint won't flake off.

Looks cool, looking forward to see the next technical episode!
Totally COOL!! Great COLORS!!! NICE JOB, I await the next one!! WOOP WOOP!!!
Great model and love blue paint. Thx for show us
Please please please either do more technicals or more tanks!! This is so enjoyable, since most of us have seen a similar scene/car irl!!
Uncle, your videos always make my week. Thank you 😁
Looks like a great model to work up. Great job. Looking forward to the final product. 👍🏻

I think it's pretty cute and with the guns pointed up, would fit on just a small vignette, with some bushes and maybe a small tree.
I would've liked to see you make a 1/35 scale model of those beaded covers for the seats.
50 shades of olive drab sounds like a great parody book
Darn it! You out did yourself again!
Looking forward most to the stowage?? Uncle Night Shift has come so far!
Great video and presentation.
Great build Martin, Thank you for sharing. Hope you have a great week.
Nice looking forward to seeing the rest I didn't know AK did models so thanks for letting us know that
Great start, looks awesome! I think we all need to go outside our comfort zone at times, mix it up a little bit and have some fun!
Nice details inside the Toyota...and most impressive work on the blue shades!
That’s very nice change of pace for the channel. Good to see you building and painting something else apart of armor
This little series is brilliant, I've got the Meng pickup technical in my stash I'm planning on building soon ☺
seeing you paint the blue makes almost makes me want to do a U.N. APC
1:18 Martin, I didn't know you are also an `editor` 😊 Lovely progress on the Toyota 👍
Super nice work👍! I love the color variations you’ve done with kit…as you said, “not 50 different shades of OD😊!
I don't know if this is sacrilege or not, but man would I love to watch a series of you building, improving, and painting an iconic Warhammer 40k vehicle.
Well, I receive the best result in creating blankets, sheets, etc. when using a single layer of a paper handkerchief and deluded PVA glue. It is far mor adhesive and soft when putting it into place.
Wonderful, nice work. Look forward to the next episode.
001 is the same kit with hard top
I didnt expect that wow!
Greay build and awesome subject.. All you need now are some Chadian troops to complete the scene.
happy Friday Uncle Nightshift!
AK is making their own models? I must have it
Nightshift doing a truck? And it's not a tank?? Am I on the right channel??? Just kidding, this is awesome to see!!
A nice refreshing video, I loved painting my Technicals for Drop Zone Commander. They are 10mm though so not as much detail 😛
Your channel is awesome keep up the awesome work
Personally, I like having a mix of "soft skins" mixed in with the armor. Jeeps, MUTTs, kubelwagens, etc. That FJ40 (?) is looking pretty awesome already.
Mr Surfacer 1200-1500 works just like the Tamiya trick.
Nice one. This kit is on my whish list 😀
I can’t wait for a takom 1/35 Apache from you. It would be awesome to see you use armor techniques on an armor-scaled chopper model
That blue is so nice. All the best for You! ;)
Greetings my friend, another excellent build from one of the hobby's true masters, looking forward to the next installment, best regards from Australia.
AK35001 is the SUV version of this model.
Excited to see some civilian vehicles, makes a nice change!
The day Uncle NightShift starts to build à car, I also star a model kit of a car (to change from tanks), but a Formula 1
Very nice tidy lit from Ak, sure to be popular :)
Damn!!! you sure make it look so simple, kudos to you Mr. Nightshift..:)
Completely amazing ! I didn't understand what is that blue color.. could you tell me ? Or something similar maybe by Vallejo / Tamiya ? I noticed for the deck tan / white add for highlight.

What is the black glue? I went back to older videos to see if there was a link but didn’t see one. Thanks!

OK, you need to do a plane next, then a ship!
Any tips on fading metallic paints?
Well done!
Looking very nice already great job
🔵🔵🔵👍👍👍😀😀😀🔵🔵🔵
Since you’re getting into technicals, i challenge you to make a scatchbuild of the killdozer
Very nice 👍 👍, I have the hardtop version in the mail and can’t wait for it.
Cheers max
Looks amazing! Just missing a few empty Coke bottles and random trash strewn in the footwell! ;)
Never seen a technical like that in Somalia. Side dorrs were on and the roof over the cab was not removed.
Amazing work!
you are great keep up the good work
Today I'm Going to make an attempt to paint figures using your techniques
great as always
Nice! Great video!
i know you said technicals arent your intrest but i think i tamiya pink panther would be a good build its not as complicated as some of the things you build however seeing how you would paint the pink colour would be good there is also some really good photos of the weathering on them
This is a really beautiful model. Which blue paint did you use? I like it a lot.
Challenge: make a model kit with like no weathering effects at all just something that looks like it just got out of a factory
Hello I was wondering if you can make panzer 3 ausf d/b by miniart
Nice work so far. The kit is the old Esci one not a new kit from AK 😂
I don't know if you take requests but I'd really like to see a stridsvang 103 (b or c) featured on the channel. I think it would be an interesting tank to make and weather given the shape, and i also think it would a good and interesting challenge for you as well. Keep up the entertaining videos ma friend :)
I see what you did there with that tile "technically fun" building a technical......clever haha
"This ain't no Zaku, boy!"
Have you ever considered scifi tanks? It would give you more of a respite from the plain grey and olive drab
