Realistic Miniature Shack Built From Plastic!

[@ndewingful]

You said that you could see how some people might not value these facades, but honestly this feels like some of your best work. It's such a small slice of life but the level of contrast and exuberance you bring to these pieces is incredible.

[@dkstudioart]

The facades or my favorite thing he does.

[@markfergerson2145]

What I’m liking most about them is the history you can see in them. There’s the original building, the modifications and repairs, and then the weathering, plus the debris suggests a larger environment that the facade is part of. A model should tell a story. A full blown diorama or even a vignette can tell about a whole war or just a moment in that war while implying what came before and what might happen immediately after. These facades speak of decades.

[@ianstewartbrown5308]

@@markfergerson2145 I so much prefer his armoured vehicle modelling to these pretty facades

[@plasticbattle]

Think the mixture of models, figures, dioramas/vignettes and these facades are keeping it fresh.

[@ianmckinney1053]

As a model railroader, these are some of favorite videos of yours. I learn so many things that I can translate over. Not that armor isn’t entertaining and helpful, I love watching those videos, but please keep doing the diorama/structure builds.👍

[@G60syncro]

Same here and whenever I see other channels talking about paint and weathering and not obviously connected to here I send them here because Martin's paint and weathering skills are off the charts!!

[@fraserskomorowski2311]

That facade had the look of an HDR photo of an old building. Amazing work again! Those bloopers were priceless. More please!

[@c-r]

It's more beautiful outside when we're out here together.

[@cycoholic]

Damn. The completed facade looks amazingly real. 😎

[@utahjohnnymontana3373]

Almost more than real because the surfaces and shapes are so enhanced. Pretty amazing stuff.

[@Samo-sn5yt]

"I'm the director" 😂 love these outdoor bloopers

[@hansvandermeer7635]

I missed the goofy stuff in the latest videos.

[@JDSG360]

Got to say you are the reason why im as into diorama building. i made my first wooden planks for a ruined building from your techniques and it worked out beautifully.

[@minimal9001]

Lovely indeed! Stuck around for over 5 yrs now. Never disappointed.

[@50043211]

I truly enjoy these buildings from you.

[@jamfjord]

I love these façades, they are some of my favourite models anywhere. It sounds like you enjoy making them just as much. Keep doing what you love, the joy shines through 😊🌞 Thank you for the neverending inspiration 🙏🙌 PS really need to get myself a copy of Emmanuel's book

[@cschnauz]

You never cease to amaze me uncle nightshift…

[@negotiableaffections]

These facades are miniature works of art, Martin. As fascinating as any kit or diorama and incredible practice for all the disciplines involved. Incredible work as always!

[@nicolepsycho5319]

It reminds me the Emmanuel Nouaillier work...and, it's a compliment when you know his facades. Good job !

[@NightShiftScaleModels]

He's been my biggest inspiration over the past several months!

[@nickogden6200]

In addition to checking out the amazing facades that Emmanuel creates , viewers should see what Swiss modeller Marcel Ackle and American modeller Chuck Doane produce . These truly are works of art. For me Chuck is the true master. However, I love what Uncle has created here with lots of ideas and techniques to be filed away for future use.

[@kastorviking538]

My best half an hour of the week is gonna start Jayy !!!!

[@marcdassonville7780]

Beautiful, you’re the number one in my book

[@neilbradley9035]

nightshift, you are brilliantly talented and seeing you connect with your authentic inner joy to create beautiful work is one of the most inspiring things to see. hope you realize that pursuing joy is one of the most profound and engaging things you can share with us. :)

[@fingerbo]

Martin, Martin, Martin, you keep outdoing yourself! This is an absolutely breathtaking masterpiece of miniature making. Every aspect of it is gorgeous, from the composition to the color palette to the incredible realism. Bravo!

[@TheGrayfrog100]

M' Friend. The words that start the best, most Chill Videos on the internet. I learn new stuff for my projects as well, so double Good.

[@stelstorm5157]

You are on a imaginative creative journey. Thanks for taking us on the ride with you. May your imagination and fun be endless.

[@neuromancer2709]

Really amazing job, I enjoy the occasional change.

[@MercutioUK2006]

Chipping fluid is now sold out worldwide. Utterly amazing. Again.

[@bobthecomputerguy]

I like how you show that even the side of an old building can be a piece of art.

[@daniellejones5981]

Amazing!!! Finally someone can do Modeling as Art!

[@gregrandolph]

I don't know where to start, Martin. The brickwork and wood detail is so incredible, and the metal signs really bring it all together. Well done, and thanks so much for sharing this build! And, yay bloopers!

[@ManglingMinis]

Absolutely love these facades, and if they make you happy to make them then even better!

[@mensrea2686]

Love it,love it, love it

[@jovishark]

these videos have so much love and care put into them, just like the models. im learning so much, and the passion is palpable!

[@thespaniard1810]

I really like the facade work. There are so many textures and materials to go to town on. Wonderful work as always. I like the bloopers, too; always listen to the director though!😊

[@CraftandQuest]

To say your technical skills are an inspiration would be a massive understatement.

[@FlyByWireYT47]

Oh yes, the Night Shift. My second favourite thing from Slovakia. After the Tatras of course :D

[@cerisekappes580]

The amount of realistic details are mind blowing!!! Absolutely stunning!!! ❤😊❤

[@aviewfromtheduckpond]

I learnt so much from this video. Some people might not value these facades, but they are amazing.

[@thebobloblawshow8832]

This looks absolutely amazing, incredible detail.

[@jeffmurphree2937]

This is one of your best models, and videos, EVER!!! Wow!

[@FunWithHOScaleStuff]

As with all your art working, the final effect you created is just outstanding.

[@Palter7x]

I build mainly gunpla and i started building tanks a while ago, and your videos just make everything easier to understand and learn. This one in specific hits home because my grandpa's garage in Argentina looked the same and haven't been there in years. It makes me feel really nostalgic.

[@ErzgebirgsMoBaHO]

Absolutely unbelievable what you have conjured up here again. My greatest respect. Greetings Tino

[@matthall143]

That was absolutely brilliant!!! Thank you for showing us all that with practice, patience, imagination and a bit of luck, dioramas can be truly exciting.

[@jaymaples30]

Absolutely Inspired!!

[@executivedirector7467]

Another beauty!

[@anthonytisone4863]

Uncle Nightshift is back in the house !!! He does it again. Nice work

[@workbenchhobbies4316]

Hey Martin. Those oils over the white base creating that timber looks was incredible! well done! Loved it - so simple!

[@giuseppe4909]

The facades are really awesome. The tips, tricks and techniques are always interesting and fun. Many may disagree with me, but I prefer a bit less contrast.

[@30stovebolt]

Your technique keeps getting better! Whether it be tanks or facades, there’s no limit to your talent. Cheers:

[@milannes1574]

Naprosto parádní a velmi inspirativní práce. Díky za tyhle úžasné modely ...

[@chrisjordan4210]

A miniature masterpiece.

[@josephtreece3842]

This'll help me paint the wooden planks on my diorama 🥳 It honestly looks like you shrunk a real building!

[@roadweary5252]

Nice way to start the weekend - a nightshift upload 👍

[@KayserEin]

Uncle Night Shift, Martin! Good to hear from you!

[@navejen9227]

You are the King of modeling!

[@markmccoy2559]

It's awesome to see you putting in all your efforts to this subject the same as you do for a tank. Keep up with the great work.

[@evernightcreations]

This piece is absolutely gorgeous!

[@YouOnlyIiveTwice]

I love any model, facade, or diorama you do so don't think your subs aren't interested in stuff like this because we are. I'd actually say most of us watch because of your incredible attention to detail and creativity in how you approach things like that. I'd love to see you try to tackle an airplane model at some point. Since you do such a fantastic job of weathering your models, it would be cool to see that on a plane like a B-17 like it was battle damaged after a mission or something.

[@jeremycalderon4177]

Martin, your skills are constantly improving, and I like that you always want to try new things. On top of that I think you are one of the best you-tubers in general, as your videos are so well made and entertaining.

[@dralbora]

I love returning to your videos when I need inspiration to carry on with my own projects*. Your care and attention to detail reminds me to work at excellence! Thank you!!! (*Fiber artist; quilter; graphic artist; paper artist; appreciator of great talent!)

[@brieoshiro]

This is so beautiful! I love all the details. The paint dots for the wood was so cool. I think it's so amazing what paint can do to transform some plastic. Great work!

[@apathtrampledbydeer8446]

That is just ace! Simply beautiful! The woodchipping method is great, have try that one.

[@TJHahn624]

I think it would be awesome to see what you could do with a plane or a ship, can’t wait for the next video 🙏

[@speez3354]

Love it. People that don’t understand don’t appreciate The work. On my metal roofs I use “ferric chloride” it etches the metal and gives it a rusted look with realistic chunks missing.

[@newuser1101]

Every aspect of this was, once again, phenomenal. You continue to be an inspiration -- and the fact that you describe every step in detail shows how you do it for the love of the hobby and to help others improve and not to show how good you are. I wish you nothing but success

[@JonesHS]

What a fun video! The facade turned out amazing, and the filming outside was great.

[@Quick-Silver206]

Your skills continue to improve and impress! Thank you for the videos! They're very inspirational to me and my pop. We're both modellers. I do table top minis and he's a railroader.

[@utahjohnnymontana3373]

Yes, armor is cool but these little slices of the world in miniature are just as amazing in their own right. You're taking something that seems ordinary and making it extraordinary.

[@hardcoremedic]

watching this at work, I wished I was at home, so I could try some of those techniques .thanks for the upload

[@michakrupowicz8901]

If you want a quick and drity chipping fluid layer without using an airbrush, hairspray straight from the can does a great job

[@robgeerds7659]

I need to apologize that I did not subscribe after seeing your earlier videos. But this facade really compelled me to subscribe immediately. This level of craftmanship and art is both inspiring and intimidating.

[@herrlogan17]

It looks simply stunning!

[@ArmorModelsbyGlennBartolotti]

these are so much fun because you make your own design its my favorite to build now.

[@kaneworsnop1007]

Absolutely incredible work, like usual.

[@keithsquires4985]

Outstanding Work! I really appreciate and love your attention to the little details that add so much life to your models, or should I say artwork. I have learned so many tips and techniques from your videos since discovering your channel, they have inspired me to never just build a model from the directions but to always alter the model in some sort of way to add more detail and try new techniques. I would also like to thank you for the excitement, humour and positivity you place into your videos, it is refreshing.

[@MiniGamerDusty]

That terrain is amazing!

[@lowenization]

I would love more building videos! I'd love to see a full city or something like that

[@garyparker2969]

Absolutely "GORGEOUS" FACADE MFreind 🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆 Thanks For Sharing n GBA 🙏🤗 Gary.

[@rune3191]

At the beginning I thought that these facades where nothing for me but ut actually gave me so much inspiration for my dioramas

[@josemateu2205]

Looks awesome, but next time, maybe you try to make those shadows less dark. You will get a way more real look.

[@muddydave01]

Mate, I reckon the techniques and inspiration value of these facades is totally worth it. I get a lot of ideas that I want to try out from watching. I could see them being useful not just for armor but car/train/tractor/boat/plain diorama or even just as a book end conversation starter.

[@lowenization]

this is my favorite youtube channel holy shit

[@benvanboom8907]

I really like these facades, the inspiration I got from you made me do a first one myself. Bedside this…you are an absolute artist and funny filmmaker ! Thanks a lot!❤

[@GnonUthersson]

This is uncanny! Just wow!

[@benjoe130793]

That is absolutely outstanding mate.

[@timothycommo1903]

Thanks for the great work and the promo code, got myself some black super glue and de-bonder. Yay!

[@bradcraig6676]

I learned so much from this video, thanks Martin for sharing your incredible work.

Great work Martin, I love to watch how you make things so very lifelike, thank you for sharing your skills

[@thoward816]

The jaw dropping technique when you painted wood texture. Simply awesome Mau Friend!!!

[@jeffmurphree2937]

OUTSTANDING!!!!

[@petermcdonald4740]

These are my favourite videos of yours. There are lots of channels but few facades

Hi Uncle Night Shift that was a totally outstanding building, your work is always way above my own level, this building looks so real, bedt regards from Australia, Les

[@user-yr7go2jh9h]

This was so, so good. True skill!

[@sabii416]

Outstanding work , great use of various techniques.

[@BADDERSBETTERDIORAMAHACKS121]

Hi Martin, another great video. I confess that I love making buildings too, and I've used ALL of the materials you have used, past and present, except, believe it or not, foam board! LOL. My favourite material is plaster of Paris, because you can obviously make and use molds to make wall sections and repeat the process as many times as you like, cutting up and carving some casts in whatever way you like. In other words it's very versatile, very quick and the plaster is as close as you can get material-wise, to real bricks, stone blocks, concrete etc etc and it is easy to paint/ink etc. I seem to be going down the 'best materials for making buildings list' in the reverse direction to you. LOL I will be making a lot of foam board buildings soon, and I have developed a great technique which makes carving details into foam board a piece of cake and will feature in future vids in the not-too-distant future. Viewers of your video might like to know that the material you describe as 'foamed PVC board' and 'Forex' can be found for FREE at many larger supermarkets! It's used for making advertising and information signs, usually hanging from the ceilings, or stuck to walls, or even making temporary display stands, all of which are seasonal and get thrown out once the promotions are over. I approached a manager who was throwing some out and he was happy to give me several sheets for free. I ended up with about 4 square metres of the stuff!. Yes, it's not the easiest substance to carve, but it's tough and sturdy and pretty much indestructible whilst accepting acrylics and enamels. I do use medium or thick CA glue to glue the stuff together, but line the insides of the walls corners/joints with strips of CA-doused paper to help hold them together whilst it all dries. Keep up the great work.

[@PUBHEAD1]

WHOOHOO! 1 hour of work left on a sunny summer Friday afternoon, and Uncle Night Shift drops a new video to start the weekend. Life is good.
