Hope y'all safe and healthy and building models! If you don't have enough modelling videos for one evening, or Tigers, then check out Panzermeister's video about his Tiger: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hHPSm2t9jZWiobM It's definitely nicer than this thing 🤣

[@user-fp9lq9by4q]

It's really cool, but what you're making right now is not a hybrid Tiger, but a rebuilt Tiger. The last 54 tigers produced in August 1944 were used with used body and turret, but parts such as engine and transmission were completely new and were given new vehicle number.Therefore, the hybrid tiger does not differ much in appearance from the normal tiger late production, and all the vehicles used in the Fehrmann tank school are rebuilt tigers.

[@pimpsniper]

Thank for the nice video my friend... here (North Italy) i am for now safe, healty as much as i can with my family and hope the same for you... Keep the good work goin' !

[@ditzydoo4378]

I think it looks far more authentic than most I've seen. The time is late war, esthetics are about the last thing anyone is concerned with. And the whole point of camouflage is to break up an objects outline so that it appears as non-descript as possible. Well good sir you have succeeded in that. I look forward to more.

"Next up on CSI:Night Shift; he shows us how to differentiate between 15W40 and 10W30 engine oils on a T-34 by colour matching the cow in the background." You have just shown us so much about researching colours....love it

No no, we're not *human*.

[@ariochiv]

Either scale modelers are not beautiful, not human, or both. I'm not disagreeing. :D

[@lukeholsten1436]

@@NightShiftScaleModels Well I'm not going to disagree with you... also, you can use free online Black and White photo colorizes like Algorithmia if you're a bit iffy on the scheme(you probably already know this but in case you didn't...)

[@MFKR696]

@@lukeholsten1436 You're aware that colorizing isn't at all a definitive way of determining the finish on a vehicle.... Right? Depending on which colorizer you use and which settings they're being run on, the results will be entirely different. Starting to see the problem? There is no scientific method for colorizing B&W film. It's typically just done to make things *look* right from an artistic viewpoint, but it rarely has any basis on how things actually looked.

Oh my God, it looks amazing. I know I'm in the minority on this, but I love mismatched camo and this ticks all of my boxes. A gorgeous tank, painted in such variance in colour.... I really want to do something similar now You, sir, are awesome

[@AlexModeling]

I don t know why 3 guys, don t like this vídeo! Maybe they build shermans...This is great!

[@dog_creature]

This things awesome! It's very busy, but I really love how every detail tells a story with it, and it all seems very deliberate. I'm sure oils and weathering will help tie everything together too. Really inspiring!

[@alienfrogmodeller5875]

Uncle Nightshift, you are the highlight of my week. The one thing I look forward to and then rewind and watch again to help my skillz. Thank you, you are also a beautiful human being.

[@ellishinton556]

My favourite plastic modelling channel on KZbin. The most detail and opportunity to learn plus great production. Keep up the great work!

[@JCZFootball]

Love watching these videos over and over again. Always something new to learn, whether it be a modeling technique, new tool used, or just the history behind the designs that influenced your builds! Plus the level of detail and effort put into each model and video just astounds me and makes me want to watch more! Excellent work as always Uncle Night Shift!

[@vonsopas]

Thank you my mate, looking awesome, and seeing all the research put into it, and the utter weirdness of looking at an early model turret vs a late war wheels just adds up to it. Stay safe bro!

[@WolfGirl930]

I think its brilliant. i found your thought process and knowledge around the paint scheme really interesting. Clearly a lot of work and effort but already worth it. Thanks Uncle night shift.

[@GoneFishing-8373]

Uncle Nightshift, i have a challange for you, make a Tank using only *ACRYLIC* paints and pigments (so no enamel based paints) good luck

[@tonysun2472]

Even better make a tight budget

[@pglx68]

100% for the idea with acrylics

[@ryzenenjoyer2824]

and no photo etch

[@Lancia_Delta_Integrale]

Sounds toooo boring Guess better is make model without plastic and resin

Great video Martin! You were funny, entertaining and the video was quite informative. I use your tips and applications for most of my German armor. Keep up the good work 👌👍

[@donfrandsen7778]

Coming along.....just spot on phenomenal work!!! Really beautiful weathering, chouces, research and your execution of those choices....just very cool i cant wait to see your next steps Superior weather and art behind your choices and command of the process 😉😊😊👍👍

[@MasterShake9000]

Your work is amazing and so educational on both the historical details as well as the modeling techniques, I don’t think there’s a way you could fail on one of these videos. I mean, even if this attempt doesn’t pan out as you hope, I feel like there’s still a ton of knowledge in this video and series.

[@michaelgershon870]

Brilliant work as always. I like the theory and research you put into it.

[@cygnusx10]

That's a large collection of plastic, putty and metal... looks amazing. Sure it'll look even better when you're done with it Edit: I thought Fehrmann Tigers were refurbed early turrets with standard late hulls and either refurbed early/mid running gear or standard late running gear? And I don't think there should be any real blue in German Grey.

[@NightShiftScaleModels]

Well, I think late hulls had 1 headlight placed on the front plate, and the F13 had lights on top, which was a thing on early hulls.

thank you for taking the time to video all of this i know the pain of setup and re video for ytube its a pain since it can make a 30 min job a 2 hr job just for camera angles and missed footage. to the point id like to see you do a henglong 1/16 tank mainly because they have fewer details so it gives you room to make tons of your own. atleast this is what i am doing

[@hardway_6823]

Geez....I don't even have the words but I thought I needed to say something...WoW! what a GREAT model! The outright authenticity and detail just blows me away. It would really be tough to distinguish this from a real Tiger tank if you had no size context in a photo. I guess that's the whole point though isn't it, and you make it look so easy too, which is the mark of the true master. WoW! just....wow. I'm totally inspired to go out and get a kit and start modelling now, I wonder if I could get the kind of results you do, lol.

I think you have nailed it this is a tank I have been Researching for a long time and I have to agree with everything .I also a agree that your colors are spot on.i want to copy the same colors. Awesome job m8 I think if it's not a 100% Accurate but it's a good representation of the real thing and that's the most important part is to have fun with this hobby And build and complete your models Don't get hung up on if its accurate we are all going buy a black and white pictures have fun and keep building kits that's what it's all about.

[@oraszuletik]

Nice! Idea for "yellow" theme vehicle: Operation Desert Storm with modern vehicle. You can try out new technics, because of different weather and environment (dust, sand, smoke). And there were a lot of tanks with freshly applied desert pink camo over the usual green-brown-black pattern.
