Let's Build A Barn From Styrofoam And Balsa Wood!

My friends, tonight we're trying something completely new and next week we'll paint this small building! Let me tell you, creating stuff from styrofoam is pure joy, and we'll explore other ways to make foam bricks in my future projects!

For a first timer, this scratch build is absolutely incredible. When it's painted it's going to look outstanding.

[@hrmpug1092]

Yeah this is basically how Nightshift works. Literally no matter what it look incredible.

[@johannesb.2928]

Waiiiit the Miniac is watching a tank youtuber???

[@NightShiftScaleModels]

Painting this thing was the most fun experience ever!

@@NightShiftScaleModels now you know why we love buildings so much!!!

[@wafflyfox7550]

Yeah ikr

[@CaliRR]

While Uncle Nightshift is making professional dioramas I just started sanding tanks

[@NightShiftScaleModels]

But hey, that's a solid start!

[@CaliRR]

@@NightShiftScaleModels I'd say the same! I had a Tamyia M1A2 Abrams that I covered in way too much wash. When I sanded and cleaned it, it looked much finer

[@lordzombey1337]

Im so hyped for the full diorama

[@NightShiftScaleModels]

It's gonna be my largest diorama so far :)

[@mephisto7549]

"fluster cluck" uuuhhh I see what you did there xD

[@phlyphan1083]

for a second I didn't see the channel name and i thought someone was building an actuall full sized barn from balsa and foam lol

[@NightShiftScaleModels]

Hey, let's do that! Styrofoam bricks are so much fun, and you'd be able to build and insulate the house at the same time :D

[@ryanbruner8928]

That would be great,at least until the first wind over a breeze :)

[@NightShiftScaleModels]

@@ryanbruner8928 The foam bricks would have to be connected using toothpicks and PVA glue, then it would have 100% structural integrity!

[@phlyphan1083]

@@NightShiftScaleModels true plus you could take the whole shed with you anywhere because it'd be so light :D

[@andrew6745]

Haven't even watched it, still know it's going to be great.

“Limited by the material at hand” basically describes my entire modeling history

I can just imagine night shift trying to figure out how he can do chipping effects on a barn

Lol!

"You'll see just darkness inside." 😀 😀 😀 Love your work and your commentary! 😀

[@dominiquea.j.lallement228]

I think that you speak very well! For a “frog-eater “living in Italy,it’s realy nice to learn from you!❤😮

[@JeremyBowkett]

Hey, Uncle Night Shift! That was cool of you to shout out Black Magic Craft! I've been watching both you and him since we first got locked down here in Canada in March 2020. You guys are both truly inspirational.

[@mansbergdahl5427]

My favorit Night shift videos is bilding and diorama.

[@kivitelezo]

Scott the Miniature Maniac just mentioned you as one of his favorite hobby youtubers in his recent video.

[@woody5109]

Model building keeps me occupied as my wife recovers from cancer, that you sir.

[@itsyaboineilcee]

I have been waiting for 2 weeks already! Now I know why it took so long! Another thumbs up! Thank you for bringing us joy Uncle Night Shift.

[@NightShiftScaleModels]

Yeah, took a little longer than I anticipated, but it was so much fun!

[@itsyaboineilcee]

@@NightShiftScaleModels salute for your hardwork Uncle! i hope to be as good as your skills.

[@jklew9486]

Yeah like this is actually better then most crafters detail wise. Youve got the patience part down to a tee

[@blitzkrieg2524]

You should do an ambush scene. Like a house cut open so you can see a bunch of men inside preparing to ambush a convoy or something

[@andrewschanck3363]

Bro. How are you so friggin good at everything???????? Uncle Nightshift you are some kind of sorcerer.

[@shorok9333]

I really like that you try out new objects and technics. That's what makes real experts.

[@Antenne02]

So... Now after watching this. I'm really looking forward to seeing more dioramas from you. They have gotten better and better. You started with a scenery piece with only a sign for the crusader, then you painted a figure for the Jagdtiger and now there is an awesome building. What's next? A T34 in front of an in-scale Reichstag?! Amazing work

[@NightShiftScaleModels]

Actually the very first scene was that Syrian T-90 with a base cut on a table saw :) Next I'd like to try an urban setting with a damaged building!

[@bluefoxanimations2600]

@@NightShiftScaleModels I think that'd be a fun one with something like a Panzer IV :P

even without paint that looks REALLY impressive!

[@stephenbridges2791]

Very nice effects. The sky is the limit with dioramas. You can innovate just about anything the mind can imagine. Very cool!

[@ellesse3862]

Looks amazing, very relaxing to watch. Those warped wonky planks are so good, good idea going with strips of vaneer, I especially like the finished brick work.

[@user-zw3ux5zu8m]

Wow! It's amazing!!! Fantastic job!!!

[@ryannightingale2457]

The brick work looks legit

[@OGTalon]

I find that tile grout works well for making mortar that has a natural looking texture and adds mad strength to the building as well!

[@skatterpro]

Absolutely stellar!

[@silverdragontm9548]

Looks great even in its initial stages. An I know how it’s looking finished... so, yeah. Loving it!

[@markbarrett3082]

Omg best Friday ever😍

[@bugler75]

Great result and fantastic tips too😊👍🏼

[@LyleHatch]

Your skillset is amazing! Once again, I am blown away by your attention to detail, tools, and tricks. That barn looks awesome even though it isn't painted or weathered yet. Wow!

[@Youcanbuildmodels]

I REALLY hope you continue to expand beyond just models to more dioramas and detailed vignettes.

[@korysakvr2560]

It looks great. Little tip though... If you go to the store buy foamcore board and use it instead. Peel the paper off of both sides. You can carve the foam with a dull pencil.

[@SalemElloit]

Looks excellent.

[@Brave_Sir_Robin]

Very clever technique for making the bricks!

[@MrAyley7]

Perfect, an uncle nightshift video before I sleep ❤️

[@KentuckyFriedChildren]

I can't even put together a Kit and this man's building a whole-ass barn from scratch.

[@ariochiv]

Building the scene brick by brick and tile by tile... it's madness, but I would expect no less. I'm really looking forward to the progress on this one. It already looks great and I'm glad that you're having fun. As someone evidently obsessed with realistic detail, I would imagine that diorama work is going to be something that you'll really like. I also appreciated your comment about "story" and omitting details where they do not contribute or would detract from the story of the piece. All artists are storytellers at some fundamental level.

[@davidkilby1043]

Great work, Uncle Nightshift

[@PaulMcCaffreyfmac]

Absolutely brilliant!

[@teamfishbikeclub4160]

This is pretty freeking awesome

[@markedwards5106]

This is one good looking barn..love it!

[@daredemontriple6]

The off-centre barn doors grate against the our natural desire for symmetry and patterns, however I think they make this building come to life. It's just like on armour when we bust up the fenders on one side but the other side remains merely dented and scratched - that detail adds a little story to the model. A close call with some artillery perhaps. As you mentioned in this video a good explanation could be the animals on each side of the barn being different. In any case this is absolutely phenomenal work and I can't wait to see more in the future. I'm very happy to see dioramas and vignettes becoming a more common thing on this channel. In my opinion it does the armour a great injustice to spend all that time on it only to put it on a display cabinet shelf, as if World War II was fought on a giant pane of glass.
