"Gone Fishing" - Epoxy Resin Water Diorama

[@womblissimo6666]

I have binge watched all your other material, so am always excited when I see something new ... Never disappointed - keep up the good work.

[@bobgrab4860]

“Once everything was ROCK HARD in the morning” I bet everything was. I found that so funny, but take it wrong it just made me laugh. I really love your work and the content you make. Your voiceovers are one of my favorite parts next to your beautiful models.

[@russianwhoopiecushion]

Yeah, it caught me a bit off guard lol

[@Mizeriatylkozjogurtem2]

im going to make my first diorama for a 1/72 scale model ,and im going to use your videos as some type of tutorial , love your work

[@21EpicFail]

Because of Night Shift I have officially sold my first commissioned model of Gaspatch's 1:48 Salmson 2A2 Mid Type! THANK YOU NIGHT SHIFT FOR GETTING ME INTO THE HOBBY!

[@lesthiele4921]

Congratulations on your first commission build, it must feel really good, best regards from Australia, 👍👍👍👍

[@oldforestroad]

That is so cool, congratulations!

[@Wally56S]

The beauty of your creations lies not only in your technical skills, but in the balance and artistry of the compositions. Thanks much for your work.

[@enigmamod]

I agree his artistic and stylistic approach is what breathes life into the work.

[@ianbrown9189]

honestly id love to get stuff from AK, but unless you are from Europe, you have to use Paypal with them as other Cards not from Europe don't seem to work. it's highly annoying. the exact opposite of your work. highly amazing.

[@emmetropiax9]

Paypal is a good thing! It has a lot of cool features

[@soldier8487]

Always love seeing a new Night Shift video. Keep it up.❤

[@soldier8487]

Btw this was day 91 of trying to get noticed by Night Shift mission complete

[@kszaczuch]

Now You need to make a matching vignette where the hull without the turret sits in the woods and if You don't want to do the inside of the tank then put a fallen tree on it or make the tank overgrown with plants.

[@thatotherguy7596]

Cool idea 💡

[@mikemcculloch7118]

Anymore dioramas and your backyard will be down to bedrock. Awesome build, love these vignette vids (probably a little more than your full dioramas, weird huh?) and the potent concise story the viewer can glean from them (the UXB vignette is breathtaking). Cheers.

[@RamoArt]

3:30 so you're telling us you spent hours rearranging a figure, a turret and a piece of wood on a styrofoam. That's passion for the hobby if I've ever seen it.

[@russellmary175]

Even when there's a mistake, Uncle, you still manage to roll with the flow and come up with approachable solutions. Love the fish detail! Made me smile when you were painting them!

[@warcrimes2100]

Its very good to see you again night shift

[@mahadewacatra3641]

I suggest you to make academy panzer iv ausf h/j or make tamiya m18 hellcat, both are my fav tank

[@cycoholic]

For your next 'palate cleanser' vignette, build The Tonk. After all, you already build The Tank of the Lake'. 😂👍🤦‍♂️

You build an paint dioramas I dreamt of making as a kid,,,great work man 😊🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@deetsitmeisterjd]

Your skills are unreal, watched every video and every new one I'm blown away 🙏 Have you ever tried making a diorama with cracked ice? Like a frozen lake/stream or partially frozen puddles is it possible? Enjoy your Holiday Shift!

[@cycoholic]

Question. You mentioned stepping back and reviewing your work. Do you ever take a photo of your work to do the same thing?

[@Chubzic.]

What I absolutely love in your videos is that models, effects and dioramas/vignettes that were on an impossible level of skill for me are decomposed and explained so well, that it becomes very clear how this and that should be done, and very easy to do. The rest is the matter of 'technical' skills. And my models that were made after I found your channel are a great confirmation of that :)

[@Vmssupplies]

Make something out of leftover parts! Great! 🤩

[@janofe2232]

That plant work is fantastic. You've really inspired me to try a forest floor terrain piece with all the different plant products! Enjoy your vacation :) You thoroughly deserve it!

[@stevenlitkey9354]

Simply outstanding Martin !!! I love how well done vignettes can convey such a poignant story. Well done as always sir 👍👍

[@LegoBiker]

its always a great day when nightshift uploads

[@jennylarrabee5303]

hey night shift always loved whatching your content but i wanted to ask you to try a 1/16th scale tiger as i have 1 from hobby boss and it is a realy fun build

[@TheDualTatorz]

I know it doesn't really fit your style, but I liked when you added the little fish around the tank! It just made it seem more lively.

[@Lambeast]

Yo Uncle Night Shift. Have you tried Magic sculpt for weld seams?

[@AVgeek91]

Am I the only one who laughed when whipped out that massive dagger. It was just so random.

[@idiotmcgee9379]

always great to see a new night shift video! also, using extra parts from an old model is an amazing use of the old stuff that you might not have used otherwise

[@tiagopt]

I actually liked the look of the edges with the process, even though it was a mistake in resin mixing. The sloped edges seemed more natural in the scene.

[@Soul.125]

Loving the new wooden sides! Really makes it look more professional, so to say, Keep it up man!

[@jessclark9725]

lmao your "messy" workspace looks like mine after a good tidying...

[@8.bit_gun340]

By far my favorite project you’ve done was the “cats and dogs” jagdpanther build. I know it was a long time ago now but it really shows the immense amount of detail you put into your builds. I’m not a modeler myself but i watch a lot of modeling channels and so far I haven’t seen anyone use a real life example of the power lines outside of their house for a model. I love your content and I’ve been watching for a while just thought I should comment this to hopefully give your day a boost. 💕

[@sidwainhouse]

When you mix your resin pour it into another mixing pot and mix again, this will ensure you get a more even mix. I learnt the hard way as well... 🤣

[@somedude1502]

Just as I was on a binging spree of your old videos, Nightshift returns in glorious fashion.

[@iggi_gaming]

Binge Watching your vids on a road trip and saw you uploaded

[@chrisgoehring7732]

I love your work! It has gotten me back into the hobby and just finished my first diorama in 15 years! Thank you

Congratulation! Next fantastic work! 🙂🙋

[@ComicAndrew39]

I’m very interested in model trains and these form of dioramas. I have been consider to do another diorama themed around my childhood favorite show. This will take practice as my first diorama was for a school essay and I made that 6 years ago. After that I haven’t tried anything else besides a temporary outside layout. So I think it would a fun thing to do this summer.

[@loganski_2158]

Love how you make the small things look awesome so much effort into a small but detailed project.

So, I am LOVING these small vignettes using leftovers. I never thought of this, and it’s honestly a great way to accomplish something cool in a much smaller time frame. That stump is sooooo col

As always nicely done.......Can"t wait whats next to build here.

[@OzScalemodeling]

Enjoy your vacation.

[@dogforeyals]

Good day to you Mr. Night Shift.

[@nickdunning6004]

Love the fish!! Every time I get stuck in a bit of a hobby rut and don’t feel like modelling, your videos always inspire me and make me want to pick up the brushes and hobby knife again!

[@Tesserae]

I wondered whether brushing hardener instead of Still Water into the uncurled resin would have helped. To give the plant leaves a three-dimensional look, paint half of each leaf with a lighter shade of green which tricks the eye into thinking that there’s a fold in the leaf.

[@executivedirector7467]

Cool idea.

[@jamesrutherford9643]

Good to see another one if your fantastic videos 👍👍😎😎

[@shakal7168]

I mostly do planes in 1/32 but watching your videos made me come back to armor. Thanks for your hard work!

[@michaelrafferty4783]

Yet another fantastic build. You have some serious talent when it comes to composing vignettes and dioramas.

[@antonisauren8998]

I had small vaccum pump with integrated magnetic mixer in my past workplace. It even had cut off timer and alarm bell so you just left it for 5 min. But to be fair it still left bunch of air bubbles and we stopped using mixer pretty fast as doint it with plastic spoon was more reliable and you hadn't to clean it up at the end. Even large industrial cnc resign applier machine had issues with mixing and tightness on daily basis. Epoxy resign just sux. :P

[@matthewcragg3607]

3:03 Where creeks can take out loans.

[@GilHezkia]

Great work! However,there's a good chance that the uncured resin will release oils and other chemicals after a few months and they will show on the surface and ruin the model.

[@Redslayer0908]

Just another night shift classic 😄

[@Bluewater1976]

Doggo! And very well done diorama! Love your work!

[@Jeffsmodelgarage]

Great job on the vignette Martin even with the resin not curing it looks great cheers my friend. Enjoy your vacation

[@Mr.Modeler.]

A dog at the start of a nightshift video? A blessing indeed!

[@CaptainRon1913]

I don't care what anyone says, you always thoroughly mix the resin and hardener first, then add your additives. I've been using epoxies building and restoring wooden boats for 30yrs. When I saw you mix the resin with the color, I knew that wouldn't cure correctly. The resin and hardener must create a molecular covalent bond first before anything else is added. It's just the way it works. Try experimenting with adding denatured alcohol to thin an epoxy mix. It will petrify anything it soaks into. Acetone will do the same thing, but will react with your Styrofoam.

[@Ingsoc75]

My once perfect eyesight is gone in my late 40s, any recommendations on magnifier glasses or something similar?

[@DrepZZy]

Hello dear Night Shift, I want to get started in making dioramas but I'm a total beginner. Could you possibly give me some advice on what to start with and what to buy to begin dioramas? Thank you in advance.

[@devrolijkerodelaar2063]

Yes new vid love it

[@unjarredoutdoors5513]

Great video. Thanks for sharing! Left a like to support your channel 👍🏽

[@MikeS-um1nm]

Two tiny critiques I have (among a PLETHORA of praises) are these: The "roots" of the tree trunk look a little "janky" like an octopusian (if that's a word) alien, and the pants on the figure are a tad bit too bright and not blended softly enough into the shadows. The rest of this dio is MASTERFULLY DONE! The broken tree trunk looks sublime and the groundwork is outta this World (or EXACTLY LIKE this World!!). Yeah, the water effects along the edges of the base aren't perfect, but I think it looks fine. As usual, the blown off tank turret is a masterclass in armor modeling! What a perfect little diorama!!! I just found this channel and I've been binge watching around the clock. I think these are some of the best dioramas in the World!

[@Absaalookemensch]

Happy upcoming vacation. The diorama looks great.

[@apathtrampledbydeer8446]

Oh wise "Panzer" of the lake, share with me you wisdom!! I would like to see you take on the S-tank (Strv-103), really curiousof how you'd approach this unicorn! Have a nice vacation! No have a great vacation!

[@jasongeorgeson8551]

Dude love your channel, I’ve seen all your videos you fucking rock!. Please please please build a Tamiya M41 walker bulldog. In a diorama. It would be much appreciated. Thank you

[@alpine7487]

awesome diorama!! yet another master thumbnail. Why don't you put the wooden outline at the end after painting? you wouldn't have to hide it! 😉

[@jacobreid8391]

Uncle nightshift. When 3d printing look up the arctan in degrees to remove layer lines. Use layer height / resolution. I.e. .035 layer height, by .035 resolution makes 45 degrees. Rotate the item 45 degrees horizontally and 45 degrees vertically and it will help reduce layer lines.

[@darealsherlock8026]

I have an idea. You're really good at weathering. Your groundwork is also absolutely fantastic. Could do an aircraft crash scene? I'm thinking something like the Bf 109 in the Imperial War Museum.

[@colossalbigfoot256]

Hey they actually have VMS Smart Mud in stock. But Uncle NS doesn’t mention you have to spend $35 before the discount code is applicable. But that’s not hard with VMS products.

[@waid1406]

You should start a modeling company selling stuff from your backyard like the all new exlusive random pebbles from my backyard for only 7.99$!

[@MikeS-um1nm]

I like the stained wood panels on the sides of the base better than black. I use stained wood plaques on my diorama bases. I think it looks a little more professional and clean, although the black looks good too, and maybe even looks better on certain dioramas. Actually, with enough planning, you could use the black sides (of the built up groundwork) on TOP of a nicely framed plaque! Adding a brass nameplate or "Title" is cool too!

[@stephanwolfhunter]

If the figures are both 1/35 scale but there is a little size difference, that shouldn't be a problem; military units are not sorted by height and width. One of the units I was in, the shortest guy was 5'5" and the tallest was a whopping 6'8". He had a LOT of trouble in our M2 BFV. So a little height difference can only add to the realism. But that's just my opinion. Beautiful build, but I've been watching you for years and I don't ever remember seeing you do a bad one. Cheers, and enjoy your vacation!

[@MGB-learning]

Always an Outstanding video and presentation.

[@lat-roc9733]

I tried diluting the surface with alcohol and, according to court documents, proceeded to go on a 3 day bender costing some $300k in damages. Mainly caused by stripping naked and covering myself in Tamiya paints, then running through model shops "post Shading". Multiple minor injuries from a "hot-wire" cutting tool and a claim election interference with details redacted. Police dropped charges relating to the garden rocks*, agreeing that the garden rocks* can be trademarked even if the original application was misplaced, much like the Polish tank divisions. Do any other avid "Nights Shift" friends have such misadventures from following these "relaxing steps".

[@thatotherguy7596]

Very weird things happen in war and tornadoes 🌪️💥 No explanation necessary 😁 It's your vignette Uncle Night Shift, do what you want. Great job. I'll be waiting to see what you come up with next. 👍

[@Joe125g20]

Hey Uncle! Would you consider a Vietnam war diorama? Lots of opportunities for really dense foliage, some cool camo patterns on the US soldiers, a good excuse to paint darker skin, and you could even make it fun with some hidden Viet Cong. I was thinking a M113 APC perhaps?

[@daniellejones5981]

Genius... You do know you're making the 'Great Modelers' of the past look 'not as great now'... And that Resin Water? Is learning experience, move on!

have a good vacation! 10 years is a lot of time and u deserve it for posting these vids. Hope u have fun and take a nice break :)

[@markodukic597]

Just curious, Night Shift. What static grass applicator do you use. I shopped for ones, but I'm really not sure what would work best. The one you use looks like it works well. If you get a chance, could you give me some feedback. Thank, Marko

[@Kchildres]

Excellent Diorama. I don't know if anyone has mentioned it here but if you put a couple of drops of dish soap in your bottle of diluted PVA it should break the surface tension and soak in, saving you the trouble of using IPA. That's what I've always done and it works for me. Keep the videos coming.
