Similar to the lungs.. When I first got a 3D printer (Anycubic Photon Mono SE) I did my first print with the printer on my modelling bench in my bedroom, I thought it smelt a bit bad so I opened a window but thought I could still sleep in there. I woke up at around 1 am dashed to the bathroom and vomited for around half an hour. I now keep the printer in the loft. Make sure you always have ventilation when working with chemicals, especially paint and resin!

[@NightShiftScaleModels]

That's interesting, lots of people are talking about this but honestly, I never felt anything or smelled anything bad, and I have the 3D printer right next to me... it just has no odor. Or my lungs are already way beyond saving :D

[@Snoopmasta]

Important is the 2:1 ration so 6 ml of resin and 2 ml of hardener." XD That one really got me!

[@Otterpawp]

"I know... It looks pretty weird so far." Literally looks better than my finished product.

[@TheBonsaiZone]

So much "almost hidden" detail to explore!!! Excellent!

[@ashelyfrankow149]

I KNOW RIGHT, the amount of concealed details could keep me searching for visual gems for HOURS. His dedication is ASTOUNDING!!!

Saw the thumbnail and thought it was a historical video essay... Yes you did that good of a job on this project so realistic!

[@loupiscanis9449]

Thank you , Uncle Martin .

Yesss, it's that time of the week! Very eager to see the result.

The diorama looks phenomenal with the tank and figures, great job and keep up the good work!

[@wi-fi3231]

I was in the middle of cleaning my airbrush after painting my panzer iv, when I looked at my phone and saw “Night Shift - 1 minute ago.” Ive never cleaned my airbrush faster before, and I rushed to be able to watch this video. Your work looks absolutely amazing, and like I most of the time say: I love your models and everything! :) What are you gonna build next? Greetings from Sweden, I’m looking forward to the next video :)

A lot of work, but beautifully done. And this diorama will now live forever on the internet in all its glory! Another masterpiece, Uncle!

[@sammiller7018]

It amazes me how you can consistently make the most polished, detailed and unbelievably realistic dioramas time and time again. Love your work night shift

[@jacobakana5649]

This looks great! I still love the paint job on the tank, it subtly offsets the desaturated nature is the scene without appearing too stark. I can’t wait for more!

[@AndrewPayne]

Absolutely fantastic - well done! Thoroughly enjoyed this series. Thank you!

Nothing I’d rather do more, than spend my afternoon after 8th grade graduation than watching some Uncle Night Shift! Seriously, this stuff is crazy cool

Joke about pair of lungs is so reasonable, i remember how i tried to prime smol truck in room where i live and i had no respirator, just lot of masks, that was a biggest mistake i ve ever made, my room were more like a gas room, horrible memories

Dude that’s so relatable I liter. had to put a short over my face like attack of the dead men

[@Modkits131]

No words can describe how amazing this looks. You deserve all the breaks Uncle Nightshift, take care my friend.

[@bloodgulchpatrick]

Man, those weathering techniques are wonderful. When you painted those walking planks with gray, I was like "nooo, you're making it worse". Then, as you made an exposed fresh wood imitation, it suddenly came to like and became much better than ever before. And there was a ton of moments like that in all of this video.

[@GoodOlTahj]

great job! loved how this one turned out

[@stephenbridges2791]

Very nice diorama. The moss is highly appropriate. Any area of high humidity is going to be rife with moss, mold, and mildew. I like that particular technique as well. Very well done.

[@LatteLover]

The diorama turned out superb, my friend. Love that puddle, it's one of those little details that really add value.

[@patrik-4163]

You should make the wooden trench "wall" cracked and bent on impact of the tank, so it adds more weight to the tank and make it feel a bit more alive.

[@MrSwarovsk1]

When Uncle Night Shift says "My Friends" You know it's a good day

[@sempthegreat]

Simply amazing. Next up! The two french tanks!

[@braeeee_]

hey nightshift! just saying ive been going through some really rough times recently, and your cheerful and soothing voice over and great content really helps me through things. its just so relaxing to watch everything come together. thank you for everything and dont stop making great content! :)

[@Spartanm333]

I would agree - great voice and friendly tone. This is part of the model making for me... it's an opportunity to leave the 'normal' world for a much simpler and safer place. My other thing is cycling - try to get 10 miles in a day, helps to come down and the fresh air and sunlight are good for you. Finally, turn OFF the news on TV - it's 99% garbage in any respect. I haven't watched terrestrial TV in 7 years now. Subscribed!

Very satisfying composition, and beautifully executed.

I really like your ground painting technique

[@x3tc1]

I really love how this diorama turned out! And I think the shallow puddle is much more fitting for the diorama. Especially when considering that the trench isn't flooded.

[@franklinlewis6059]

Liked that you teased a bit about what's next.

Bark tends to be the darkest part of the tree which is why you did the darker color at the end on the wood ;)

You are my first reference in the dioramas... You are always an innovator... And always forward... I salute you from Iraq

[@JensAndree]

Awesome work there!!! I adore WWI tanks and vignettes/dioramas because I love the quirkiness of the WWI tanks because they were all unique and weird since they were all developed from scratch and they still didn't really know/understand how to use the tanks on the battlefield apart from going over trenches, and I love making trenches and totally destroyed landscape because - both it's so unreal to even begin to fathom how on earth anyone could've survived the horrors but also because of all the details you need to create making said environment, all scratch built from materials and no quick 3D printer to help saving time... I frankly wish there were more WWI tanks so I could make more variants but I've made most of them already apart from Little Willie, but I'm about 70% there in CAD so eventually I'm going to be able to make one of them as well, albeit not in a battlefield setting since there were only one prototype without any armaments, but I plan to make a small vignette, or diorama, from the field trials. That should be pretty fun to build as well! Many thanks for sharing your work and processes! Great for both inspiration and entertainment! Way better than anything on TV anyway! ;)

[@fotomakr]

What a masterpiece! So much nuance in all the clutter.

[@russellmary175]

Kudos, Uncle--another beautiful project. Your attention to detail never fails to impress!

The only thing I wanted to state is that the wood braces and walkway would be basically the same as mud would have obscured everything. So, I guess it works to add contrast.

[@thiccsheeb5467]

Looks Awesome

[@CNSFX]

Awesome result! Suggestion for you for that last touch… if you look at the tank sitting there it looks like it either just happened or it was placed there. The way to fix that is with a weathering step to create streaks matching the resting position. On our SFX models I weathered them in static and dynamic positions. A plane spends most of its life sitting on a tarmac so the weathering should be mostly vertical with some flying streaking. Depending on this relationship it tells the story of the use of the plane and environment. So on this tank if you weather it further in it’s resting position it will look like it’s been there for at least a few days in the rainy muddy battlefield. With a studio model I mixed water based paints with soapy water and misted it on and let it dry to get the streaks looking very natural. At this small scale it can be done with water and a very fine paint as well. I used house paints before, cheap and easy. Great work and interesting subject!

[@karlosmitz3027]

Stunning… love the 2:1 ratio mix ;-)

[@jazzmusician46]

That is so good. I love your technique. I have learned so much from you. Thank you so much!

[@americanpatriot2422]

[@chrisstreet2783]

If water was standing in that small divot, it stands to reason that there would be standing water in the trench! It would be very interesting to add a limited amount of standing water in the trench low spots.

[@negotiableaffections]

If I'd seen that model in the shop and looked at the box art, I'd have gone, 'Nah, its horrible.' But your diorama has completely changed my view. The story you've created has opened my mind to this monstrous piece of machinery. And the diorama itself is amazing. The puddle? looks perfect to me! Well done Martin!

[@daniellejones5981]

Amazing! Even more Inspiration!!!! And for future reference, Trenches and holes dug more that 1 or 2 meters deep will hit Subsoil. Subsoil is usually Yellow or Red Clay, so a lot of mud has a Yellow or Red Slimy look, like Construction Sites! Extra Nasty Looking...
