Just realized that night shift made this video for himself in case he forgets where something is, he can just re-watch the video and find it easily. genius idea night shift!

[@NightShiftScaleModels]

It wouldn't be the first time I went back to my older vids to check for something :)

Great setup. Where's the area you break down in tears while trying to clean individual track links??

That's the shed out back

hey cleaning tracks is fun, I do that in my hidden pleasure room

[@alienfrogmodeller5875]

Uncle, thank you for inviting us into your home, much appreciated. If I could ask, maybe a tour of your display case? This could be used as a future short video to "fill a gap" while on a long break while your out biking!? Oh and thank you, I had imagined that you had no junk drawers...YOU ARE HUMAN!!

[@NightShiftScaleModels]

I'll show my entire collection in another video :)

[@Road.Tripping]

From the standard of your work, I guess I expected a huge room full of magical, mysticaL stuff. Amazed and impressed to see such incredible work from a fairly tiny space. Love it! Thanks Uncle

i should do a workbench tour... So we got our paintbrushes in a 7-11 Slurpee cup. Paints in a small toolbox made in metal shop class. panel liner, pigments, glue, thinners in a metal tin. Knives and cutters, just lying around ready to misplaced. Painting and building in a Cardboard box. thank you for coming to my workbench tour

[@orbitalair2103]

My modeling supply/tools storage is a 20x14inch plastic bin and a kids pencil box. My 'workbench' is the spare computer desk that used for lots of hobbies/tasks.

[@soofm-frenchscalemodeler7903]

That "AH!" When the AK real color pot drops at 12:35 killed me lmao

[@rongray8416]

I like that "custom" paint shaker lol...pretty sweet idea....That whole distilled water vs regular old tap water to me depends on the water quality+ if you have one of those water softeners/purifiers installed in your place, for me distilled made no difference but others might have a massive different result..I just run my water through one of those Pur water filters for drinking to get the alkalines down (no hard water chalkyness when the water dries out) pus extra clean drinking water...2 birds 1 stone lol

[@TheModelGuy]

Very true. I have a water softener and have to buy distilled water for thinning

[@NightShiftScaleModels]

Yeah I didn't notice any difference either because I have a carbon filter or something under my sink... but it was worth a try

[@sirrathersplendid4825]

Distilled water is great if you’re thinning or diluting paints or washes and then putting them into storage containers. Stops them going off. Also essential if you use a wet pallet - slows the growth of moss/fungus/gunk, since ordinary tap water is infested with all sorts of lifeforms.

[@Uli_Krosse]

Organized enough to actually find what you're looking for in a snap, yet "chaotic" enough to see that it's actually being used. Very nice, thank you.

[@mestapho2011]

right.. i spend 70% of my time looking for what I need to do whatever task i'm doing on model at that session. i need to organize..

[@Youcanbuildmodels]

Glad my modeling area isn't the only one that is essentially organized chaos. 😁

[@Tmaxxnc]

what is this organized you speak off i know not of this word lol

[@toby6326]

GEEZ! No wonder your models are so good you literally have enough materials to make models from scratch on your desk! 😂👍🏻

[@Uselesswizard]

Thanks for the tour! I've been learning a lot from your channel over the past year, and I really appreciate your good humor and attention to detail.

[@OtterCreek]

"Heavy Duty Paint Mixer" Brilliant!!! I had one of those and didn't even know it.

[@matthewmontgomery6670]

Excellent! This definitely points me in the right direction when it comes to work space. Thanks, Uncle Nightshift!

[@orbitalair2103]

Get me da Choppa !! HA!! I LOVE your paint mixer idea ! Brilliant.

[@Hori_Ado]

I really like the tidiness you're able to keep. I wish I could keep my workbench in such an order, but I'm inspired now to get my modelling room looking more like yours.

[@matus_wuki]

Put lighters few centimeters away from glue. 🤔🤔 Sounds like a good idea!!😂😂 Just kidding, keep up the good work, watched all of your amazing videos✌🏻✌🏻✌🏻.

Hey Martin we have the same compressor ! I really enjoy the video thanks for sharing your space with us.

fastest ive ever clicked on a video

[@doomsdaydad2488]

I would say the only thing to ad would be a well lit hobby paint booth. I made mine from heavy card board and computer fans intake and exhaust filters work well to keep airborne overspray manageable. Thanks for the very informative videos.

Thanks for this - very interesting. Tony

[@SmallSoldier]

Nice setup Martin. I really need to get a couple of those softboxes for filming and photos, I think they'd really help make things epic! Hey if you don't use those pigments... send to me! :):) I use them all the time. Anyway, great model room you have there. I think you'll agree, a nice working environment really helps keep the mojo morale up! Cheers!

[@MichalKaczorowski]

Wow. So clean!

[@kylebroflovski5333]

You can buy these mesh covers for windows that you attach with magnets to a window. Really good and helps keep some of the bugs away.

[@DiecastMediaNetwork]

Great tour! I was curious how you shoot your videos because I really like your over the shoulder look. I built a rig that suspends from the back of my desk and shoots straight down which gives a nice top-down POV but it's not always best for showing off the final product so I have to remember to tilt the build so it can be seen. Thanks for the behind the scenes look. I feel a lot better about my "I don't use it anymore" stash. ;)

[@AndrewTube87]

I just got my first tank model because of you lol. Got a Tamyia M41 Walker Bulldog kit. We will see how it goes!

[@XxBloggs]

Great to see how much stuff you have that you don’t use. Got to say I’m jealous of the Wilder stuff. Can’t wait till they sell it again.

[@thegigantico]

yo martin, mad respect to you!

[@kaferrat]

Cool to see your work areas. All you really need are the basics, to produce great models.

[@orbitalair2103]

This is true, not a lot of stuff and it doesnt need to be expensive. I use a chinee $25 airbrush, it works fine. Now if only kits and paint werent soo expensive.

[@loupiscanis9449]

Thank you , Uncle Martin

[@willridesbikes3917]

Dude seriously it’s just kinda cool to see what you look like. My family is from Prague. Cheers.

[@mikelritchjr5911]

I just came across your channel , & WOW at the detail you put into weathering . I can see why or how you would acquire all of the pigments & washes that you have on your shelves. Which brings me to my question. What type of shelves do you have & are the home made or did you buy them , if so where did you get them? Thank you for sharing your videos n plzzz keep up the great work

[@stinkyutah7433]

Wooow, I did not expect you to be q a mountainbiker. Thats so cool because im a mountainbiker too and I also have tan lines.

[@christopherscott934]

I'm the same way with certain products, I have a bunch of it like the Mig's Pigments and washes but hardly ever use them. I often find their washes too thick. Also have a bunch of the Wilder Oil Paints but just can't seem to like them for some reason. When it comes to space, I use only the tools I need or use the most due to space. I have to share a workbench with my gaming PC stuff so...yeah. Maybe one day I can have a dedicated room for my armor stuff.

Uncle night Shift. All looks great. Now we are not being nosey! But how about all those tanks you built over time. How your display?? . I had one in the past. But i couldn't bring it. ,it was one of those display shelf with glass shelves and sidings. And a light came with it. I think it was one of those departments kind. And it was nice!

🤣🤣🤣Martin, you have the most hardcore paint mixer ever !

[@paulosborne6517]

If you want a good grab handle tool - Trumpy do a set of 6 crimpers for different handle sizes and thicknesses.Simply put some brass rod in the slot, crimp the tool together - like pressing a stapler, and you get instant perfectly bent handles for either surface mount [with feet] or drill-mount [with feet cut off].

[@030corpetlouvet]

Excellent video, but please also take a tour of the showcase, we want to see all your works of art, thank you!!!.

[@nickcharles5891]

Great vid! Amazing how much we have that we don't use.

[@rwcowell]

Nice dojo you got there bro! Around the time you made that video, there was a shortage of TP here in the states. If the EU had a similar problem, I bet that TP was worth its weight in gold lol. Cheers!

[@element4studios]

The distilled water won't show an effect until a model has sat for quite a while. (years probably) the chemicals they add to your tap water would, over time, degrade the colors of the paint. It's a longevity hack more than anything. :) Thank you for the tour!

[@sirrathersplendid4825]

Oh yes. Completely forgot about the fluorides they put in tap water. I use distilled water for my wet pallet and for any paint mixtures I intend to store for more than a couple of days - tap water goes off within a weeks because of all the bugs and microbes in it.
