A Nightshift video without a tank?! I love it! It's small, minimalistic (the shell and the figure with some background) scene makes it stand out and really tell a story. It's really exciting to watch you grow as a modeler.
You took two random items that you ran across while cleaning and created a beautiful piece of art. Amazing as always. I'm not a big fan of tanks but your work and explanations of what you're doing and why are enough to bring me back any time I see that you've posted a new video.
When you let your mind be creative, you can build a nice vignette from anything! You've got some unused tank tracks and a figure in your stash? Boom, scrapyard vignette!
@@NightShiftScaleModels Hello I'm a big fan and plastic model Beginner. I'd like to take a video, too. I'd like to know which camera and lens you use. Thank you.
@@NightShiftScaleModels Hi, I am replying to this post as I was not sure how to get ahold of you. I received a reply to my post saying I had won a prize and to message you on Telegram. This seems like a scam.
I must say i was sceptical of the new video schedule but now i can say with confidance its so much better love seeing the model come to life all in one vid
If I had to use one word to describe Martins approach it would have to be 'harmony'. Everything is harmoniously arranged built and blended until every speck of trademarked dust looks like it belongs. Fantastic to watch.
That's a huge compliment and I appreciate it a lot! Achieving harmony in every part of the scene was tough for me at first (years of experience with armor and none with landscapes and figures) and I always envied the diorama masters for having everything so balanced! :)
@@NightShiftScaleModels practice has definitely made perfect. Silly as it may seem, I am always in awe of the foam brick walls, watching them come to life is brilliant!
This vignette is probably the best I’ve ever seen you do! Simple and extremely effective! I love the way you paint your figures. Once again, simple and effective!
What I really love visually here is that most of the setting - the floor, shell, bricks, and ceiling - is horizontal, but the scene is framed by two single vertical pieces - the guy on the left and the doorframe on the right. This seems to allow for all the detail in the floor and brick wall while still letting key parts like the guy and the shell stand out. Really amazing setup here, Night Shift!
@@NightShiftScaleModels you tend to downplay your talents, but I’d be willing to bet that with your talent and experience, you’ve developed a very good instinct for what works when framing or laying out a scene, even when you’re not consciously aware of it. Whether it’s tanks, crew, or scenery, you always produce fantastic results and with solid techniques. Your brickwork and concrete in this video are both better than I’ve seen in a lot of terrain videos - you’ve really become just an all-around talented modeler.
Great work, thank you for doing a Warsaw Uprising inspired project, it is special! a few funfacts: - the unexploded shell was disarmed by Polish engineers and extracted explosives were used for making hand granades - the shell was not extracted until 1965 and is on display in Polish Army museum nearby - use of rebar is 100 per cent accurate - Adria was built in 1930s using reinforced concrete, and on some after-war photos of its ruins you can actually see a pieces of concrete hanging like in your diorama - the whole builing was rebuild and still exists - since the war, several of these unexploded shells have been found in Warsaw - even around 20 years ago they found one when building a subway station - the concrete platform the Germans build for Ziu still stands in Sowinski Park - about the figure - I see you painted a german Panzerwaffe soldier, but the soldiers on your reference photos are from Polish Home Army - the germans were only able to reach Adria after the Uprising surrender, but at that point the building laid in ruins and basements were blocked with rubble; yes - polish fighters used german uniforms (never seen a panzerwaffe, buth it,s possible) but without german insignia and the had a white-and-red armband on their right arm Cheers!
did you just say "Machinen Krieger????" damn. cant wait. i've never built or painted tanks, i was always on scifi model kits. and i subscribed to your channel to try and pick up techniques that i can implement on scifi models. now that you are hinting on scifi model kits, it has come full circle!
Things like this really made me feel good. It just goes to show, that with very little you can make an awful lot! With two pieces that most people would've put in a box and forgotten about, you've made a visual story. And at the end of the day, that is exactly what this hobby is about in my opinion!
It's fantastic considering what you started with. More importantly you've helped inspire me to take up modelling again after a break of 34 years. I've just ordered my first ever airbrush set up with birthday money. I plan on building the Tamiya Dragon Wagon and probably a Sherman to sit on it. I also need to rebuild my modelling tool kit. All my old stuff was stored at my mother's and she ended up throwing everything away years ago.
Welcome back Mark . Your Dragon Wagon rig sounds cool . I had a similar experience with my father chucking away all MY models and gear . Admittedly he was going through a nasty time in his life. Start again bud .
@@markstott6689 I often spend 30 mins or so simply drooling over the quality of the mouldings and details . Then however long it takes to really study the instructions and perhaps making a note of possible problems or extra care required with a part or sub-assembly . I've got several models on the go at present . I might try and finish one soon . All the best , mate . Enjoy .
This is one of my absolute favourites of all your builds. Loving the format of a whole build and paint in one video. Absolutely fantastic, and an inspiration to my own modelling!
I thought this was an excellent excursion away from the usual vehicle model. I often find I need a "palette cleanser" after doing multiple tank/vehicle models. I think this was a great way of showing all modelers what you can do with just a couple of left over parts, or the many figure models we have in our stash. This model definitely tells a story and I think is a good counter point to the many other dioramas and vignettes you have done. So, my friend, I hope you had fun with this and I'm looking forward to more!
My Friend, much had already been said describing this vignette.. out of rubble comes another Craftmanship build using two left over items from previous builds, your imagination is impeccable..
This is crazy good Martin! It is great to see you getting these kinds of results with new techniques! I like seeing the smaller builds too, especially if they help you find a new way to do things. That concrete texture was absolutely incredible! Your urban dioramas have become the golden standard for texture, your painting and weathering style compliments it so well! Amazing work!
I would like to think that if I watched this, I might be able to copy your technique, but I was fooling myself. You have a special talent which few people have. Outstanding job!
The fact that you had a lot of fun really came through on this video & the results were fantastic! I don't know how extensive your stash and parts/spares bin is, but another fun palette cleanser might be to kitbash what you think would be the ultimate ww2 tank. The comments section would undeniably turn into a mess, but given your extensive knowledge of armour, i'd love to see your take on what the combination of best suspension/wheel system, armour, main gun, etc would look like.
I just want to say thank you. Your videos have helped me in so many ways from helping me fight my depression to getting me in to building models. I just finished my first full model today of a m41 walker bulldog. With your tips and tricks it has made it fun and easy to build and add details to the tank I would have never dreamed of. So thank you and keep up the amazing work.
Hello Duncan . I'm in that fight too . The 'Black dog' of depression , as well as chronic ill-health from birth . May I wholeheartedly agree about model-making bringing genuine relief and also offer you a well-done ? My Doctor suggested these 'new-fangled' plastic kits to my father . I was a very poorly child, and often on life-support . So he gave them a try . I was 4 in 1955 and I was hooked ! My 1st kit was a tiny Wright Biplane in Pink plastic . My older sister was given a Viking 'Longship' in Brown plastic . Shortly after that I got Airfix 'official' No 1 , the delightful Grey Ferguson tractor . Apart from really bad days , I'm still building and customizing . All the best my dear friend . I'm also on twitter if/when you need a caring ear or simply a chat . Pete
Whatever projects you choose to do in the future it's the groundwork, rubble and structures that go with your projects that are so unique and worth watching for me.
Definitely would love to see more of the same! I enjoy all your builds, but love thr longer fotmat that goes through the build from concept through to fruition. Gives time to go into what you are doing. Obviously it won't work for all projects, but yeah, loved this video. Thank you!
i have to say, i found myself in a rather dark place the past few years, and your videos have been a shining bright place for my heavy mind, all i need is to hear you say "my Friend" and my mind set shifts to enjoying your dioramas and build videos, even when i cant find the energy to enjoy the hobby myself anymore. so thank you for you wonderful warm personality and fantastic content. im vary proud to call you, My Friend.
Absolutely fantastic! as always! i know nothing about modelling (except what I've "learned" from your videos) so it is difficult for me to critique... but there is one important detail missing in your diorama - it's the riffling engagement ring (ring with stripes visible on the example photos @1:11). A minor thing but still ;) a fired shell would have the ring marked with multiple stripes.
Love these mini dioramas! So many useful techniques and tips! Glad you had this happy accident of having the leftover shells and perfectly posed figure.
First off, Love the scene, it does the reference photos proud. Second I'm liking the new format, I always prefer longer videos, I just don't like waiting for them.
That vignette turned out fantastic!!! Thank you Martin for sharing your talents with us. I can't wait to see what you do with the Ma.K figures you just got!!
Amazing subject! You made it look easy, not to mention how simple items can turn out a great build, please continue them. I'm always learning from your videos.
I will be honest, I like your terrain making and painting now even more then your model painting. Your models are great, but your terrain making is a lot of fun to watch.
Slowly going through all your vids, looked at other tubers doing the same stuff for ideas, yet yours are just another level, even your descriptions are very informative. Very talented sir..
I'm another person that isn't here for tanks specifically, just to watch you work and hear about your techniques. I love this vignette, and look forward to more!
A Diorama should always tell a story. That's why I love vignettes so much. On a 7x7 place, there is more story than in a monster diorama. Amazing!! Go on like that!
One word - inspirational (as always). The most reassuring thing for me is that you clearly still have the love for the hobby! Long may we have you driving us on to better things!
I absolutely LOVE this!!! Your "simplified" method of figure painting looks better than my professional work. I think you have a great idea; run with it. Gorgeous work as usual, muh friend.
Sometimes I hit the scrapbox and pull out the most diverse stuff and diorama materials I never got around to using and making a vignette or diorama I never would have made otherways... a fun self challenge. Love how you make your methods and work so accessible. You remind me of Verlinden in his early days! Keep building Martin! Don't get too commercial.
I love to see someone pushing their boundaries. It really shows the artistic flare. Such a beautiful piece. I can imagine this illuminated on your shelf somewhere
I always love watching Martin doing his thing. He inspired me to try different techniques and methods when doing my own models. Always look forward to his Video.
Amazing! Absolutely beautiful work. One constructive technical comment for future consideration. On a fired projectile, there would be deep grooves from the rifling in the barrel on the driving band. The driving band (that band near the base of the projectile that is slightly larger diameter) is what engages the rifling and seals the bore allowing pressure to build and push the projectile out. They are soft metal and don’t damage the bore of the gun.
What a tremendous vignette. Fabulouse ideia. The way you explain it’s so easy And so inspire (as usual). You ask what we think about small dioramas or vignettes like this one. Do what you want. Small, medium, large or even big mighty ones. You do it well And it’s a pleasure watching those masterpieces. Thank you Keep on Rocking (in a FREE world)
Yes more like this. Very cool little diorama. I am an automotive modeler. But have watched you from day one. Your work is outstanding and giving me the confidence to try something new. Painted my first figure a while back.

Im from Poland, Warsaw Uspring 1944💪 Great diorama.
As always, it's amazing to watch you create..
Great work, thank you for doing a Warsaw Uprising inspired project, it is special! a few funfacts:
- the unexploded shell was disarmed by Polish engineers and extracted explosives were used for making hand granades

- use of rebar is 100 per cent accurate - Adria was built in 1930s using reinforced concrete, and on some after-war photos of its ruins you can actually see a pieces of concrete hanging like in your diorama - the whole builing was rebuild and still exists
- since the war, several of these unexploded shells have been found in Warsaw - even around 20 years ago they found one when building a subway station
- the concrete platform the Germans build for Ziu still stands in Sowinski Park
- about the figure - I see you painted a german Panzerwaffe soldier, but the soldiers on your reference photos are from Polish Home Army - the germans were only able to reach Adria after the Uprising surrender, but at that point the building laid in ruins and basements were blocked with rubble; yes - polish fighters used german uniforms (never seen a panzerwaffe, buth it,s possible) but without german insignia and the had a white-and-red armband on their right arm

This is fantastic. A small vinyette like this really supplements the larger Carl mortar nicely
Absolutely love this. The diorama aspect and realistic buildings are my favorite parts, so I’m all for more of these style dioramas!
I love that sagging broken concrete. Looks amazing as always, uncle!
The mortar project continues to be a gift that keeps giving. A very cool display!
did you just say "Machinen Krieger????"
damn. cant wait.

fantastic use of spare parts and story telling in a small model. more please
A Diorama should always tell a story. That's why I love vignettes so much. On a 7x7 place, there is more story than in a monster diorama. Amazing!! Go on like that!
This is one of my favorite of your videos to date, really like the format and instruction was clear.
The top, whether to call it the second floor, or whatever, is fabulous. One if my favorite treatments you have done.
I love it! Great use of spare parts, and a great piece all by itself. Beautifully executed.
The amount of talent here is absurd. Bravo.
The cracks in the concrete are beyond realistic, you are a true artist!!
You are absolutely talented! This was a treat. Thank you.
absolutely amazing there sir, i know im not the only one that would love to see you do more of this, keep the great work, stay save sir
I love that you did a TINY scene. It gives me more confidence to try experimenting on my own, with limited display room :)
you don't need to feel like you sinned, it's called innovating with what you have, it's a big part of the creative process!
Watching you make buildings/ruins is my favourite part of your content :)

Always an outstanding video, build and presentation.
I absolutely LOVE this!!! Your "simplified" method of figure painting looks better than my professional work. I think you have a great idea; run with it. Gorgeous work as usual, muh friend.
I love the mini-vignette concept, and having it all done in one video was awesome.
one of my favorite videos you have done, because its nothing like the rest. To take something so small to make it so impactful amazing job
Fantastic work, keep doing what makes you happy. These small dioramas are fantastic departures from classic armored videos.
Thank you for posting the thought, design, and fabrication processes behind this vignette.
Superb!
Great concept.
And very well-executed!
More please!
Best wishes from UK. 🇬🇧
Wow! Not only are you a great artist, you’re also a fantastic teacher.

This is awesome and making it out of 'leftovers' is a great way to fuel creativity. Diversification is a good thing! Cheers, Chris.
