[@Deathbringer_Live]

YOUR amazing! Please do Russian Object 490b

[@brianreddeman951]

Wow, Michigan Toy Soldier. I haven't been there in ages. :)

[@sylvainplante9882]

Martin, you’re a gold medalist of the modelling Olympic with those sponsors!👍

[@genuz]

Hey Nightshift. I still watch your videos, but since you started making fewer videos, KZbin has stopped pushing your videos to me. At all. Maybe you need to think about making smaller promo videos, teasers or updates to keep your channel alive in the algorithm. Sorry for the bother, you can probably see the statistics better than I can.

[@BigBoiLoses]

One of the few KZbinrs I will drop everything for to watch their newest video. Love your work Night Shift!

[@gousmc1983]

Agreed 💯

[@ikenike3656]

Same watching at soon as I can

[@alwinstanley1613]

The only KZbinr I drop everything to watch...and not just the latest videos. There are so many amazing videos, intact all amazing!

[@lesthiele4921]

I will never not watch nightshift videos, they are also a must watch.

Uncle Night Shift is like the Bob Ross of the model making world on YT. His videos are so relaxing and the 30 minute video still feels like it's way too short. Keep up the great work, my dude!

[@Eoin6661]

Lol be interesting to see how he cleans his paint brushes

[@fromthistexasbreath]

I dont get to do much modelling right now with a 6 month old baby, but throwing on some Night Shift while I hold her and get her to nap hits the spot

[@YouOnlyIiveTwice]

@@fromthistexasbreath I don't even do any models, but I definitely would like to at some point when I can get the time to do it. As relaxing as these videos are, I feel it has been really educational for me since I was terrible at art/painting back in school. Definitely renewed my interest.

[@valmarin4260]

There ain't nothing better than making your own diorama while watching Night shift

[@vagabundolino]

What model are you on? Im on a revell leopard 1

[@KubFire]

exactllyy! Not me building a Mustang next to this vid rn xD

[@l1zrdking]

Dunno, sittin here doing nothing while watching is pretty enjoyable too haha

[@dogforeyals]

Got some cold beers right now and a rainy night... oh yeah!!!

[@themumfortofflying6415]

It's crazy how a dark brown-green basecoat can turn into a desert khaki color then back to an olive green

[@NightShiftScaleModels]

Post shading is like a box of chocolates. You never know what the final color will be :D

[@JimmyJohnson-fv3mq]

Amazing, your models never cease to blow me away. 😁

[@loupiscanis9449]

Thank you , Uncle Martin . 🐺

[@jacobakana5649]

Thanks Martin! Looks great as always, your post-shading is second to none! I love the contrast between the blue tanker and the warm, dusty paint scheme. Thanks for brightening up our Friday!

[@김성식-g9j]

You have the hand of God. The quality of the video and the work is so great, delicate, and beautiful. His voice is also very good, so it's more fun to watch the video. I'm always waiting for your new video.

[@45degreesmodelling]

The model is just beautiful. I see your work and I’m always Inspired to improve my modelling.

[@adamwilder1894]

Congratulations Martin. Nice work!

[@gurufoxx]

Darn, another beautiful work of art. I would pay good money to see what awesomeness you could do with a Baneblade :)

[@marcelwildeboer]

You always make my day whiff your model making, so thank u for showing your skills to us.

[@gustaflekander718]

absolutely amazing Martin. Lovely

[@_gigatop_1081]

Whould be amazing if you whould build a tank-wreck somtimes. Your models always look amazing!

[@hotelcharlie-six5408]

Same here - fantastic modeller! Super “armourer”

[@leemabey4845]

Since watching these videos it's got me into making models again I've got over 30 in my loft

[@cmxpantaloones]

I love those oil paints and in fact I was always in awe when you used them. It's nice to see their return!

[@Vmssupplies]

Let me be your Valentine! Yeah! 🤩

[@benvanboom8907]

Unbelievable fantastic how this model came out of this proces!😮

[@jonL88]

Looking forward to building it myself!!

[@alanmoffat4454]

WELL THATS JUST MAJOR STUFF , GOOD OUTCOME .😊

[@karenburns3516]

Fantastic your vids are so much fun to watch you are a amazing model maker/ artist, all your time and effort for these vid is much appreciated .😊

[@chrisstorch1337]

Thank you Master Night Shift! So nice to see you

[@xNevikKx]

Only videos I like before watching. I gotta sneak at work!

[@philippeprovost320]

Always very nice for eyes !!! Hello of France

[@saka1062]

Yesss! Uncle Night Shift is back. I had some withdrawal symptoms.....😂 All the Best from Switzerland

[@КонстантинРубан-и4л]

Огонь!!! Великолепно, аплодирую стоя! Спасибо за удовольствие, доставленное Вашей работой.

[@wizzi247]

Must admit I always look forward to your videos, the amount of detail paintwork is amazing

[@natalebabbo-gunplaanddioramas]

Beautiful results, as always. An eye candy and I look forward to the diorama!

[@pilotdoggo9603]

York work effort is unbelievable, so meticulous and neat (in a dirty, weathered way of course). I love this Valentine!

[@IPMSOC]

This video made me take out my completed Valentine and redo the weathering, it looks better - thanks for the inspiration.

[@tanker7107]

I'm doing a stughound a.a. vehicle and I'm totaly going to use a bunch of techniques I learned almost exclusively from you! Thanks for making my hobby so exciting for me!

[@ndewingful]

That AK chrome paint is absolutely insane. You have so many incredible details on this model but that damaged headlight just explodes off the model. I'm definitely picking up a bottle!!

[@fotomakr]

Wow! What a stunner and the fabulous video as well. Looking forward to the diorama and rest of the figures.

[@NarcolepticLTD]

I dig this one. One of my favorite more obscure chassis and that brown turned out awesome

[@gleisbauer25]

Nice work. I’m finally in the last stages of building a H0 train station. Only roofs and details remain.

[@Yves95128]

Beautiful result. I always enjoy your videos and your stunning models👍🏻. Thank you Martin👋🏻

[@yanbertrand4541]

No doubts, one of my favorite painting approach on that one Martin... !!... contrasts are amazing... ! Congrats once again.

[@destinyangel5]

What a great tip putting some gloss clear into base coat help with decals also so the final flat coat doesn't change the colour excellent !

[@khakiwolf4146]

I love your videos. You actually motivated me to get back into modeling. Recently got the Finnish Army StuG III Ausf.G from Tamiya, and a T-34/76 1943. They tossed in a Japanese Chi-Ha for $15 from the bargain bin too. Been enjoying assembling it but DREADING the paint process. I am colourblind and never painted with an airbrush before. You make it look so easy in your videos. I know mine won't look amazing the first time, but your videos have been very helpful in giving me an idea of what to expect, and how to proceed. Thank you. =)

[@NZobservatory]

I love how Nightshift pronounces "bogies" as "boggies"!

[@michaeldean1289]

Hi Martin Fantastic piece of work with great results as per your usual standards mate! Thanks for sharing your build tutorial once again ❤😊

[@Sussyamongusbakka]

What a nice birthday present 😊

[@stevenarmer8245]

Im amazed with all of your builds. Such great attention to detail. Beautiful builds. Thank you for sharing your tips and talents. 🇺🇸

[@sherman4195]

Watching your videos are actually a highlight for me. I honestly miss seeing something from you on a weekly basis, but I certainty understand. Your work is… extraordinary!

[@Ilithilich]

Your videos are always amazing. May i suggest a new trademark for your garden? Plant some sunflowers. Pull them out of the ground when big enough, and dry the stems and roots. These make awesome tree stumps and trunks.

[@nuppeppo684]

Someone:"that valentine has an ugly color" Ns:"and what color is your valentine?"

[@jimaltergott9326]

Martin, your work continues to amaze and inspire me! This Valentine is an excellent illustration of all your skills coming together for a simply outstanding finished product! I can't articulate enough how authentic you make your models look! I dream of making something look as good as your work. Bravo! I hope you build more British armour. Look forward to seeing the diorama, CHEEERS!!

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

Another great build! 👍👍

[@deltic5514]

Cracking video. I have one half built in my stash from Mini art. Got fed up but now I have renewed enthusiasm for it.

[@Paranormal-Stupidity]

That looks amazing. Can't wait to see it in the diorama. Thanks for sharing!!!

[@OrcaStrike02]

Uncle night shift is back!!!

[@gregrandolph]

It looks superb so far, Martin! Painting the broken headlight with the chrome paint, though a small detail, really popped. Can't wait to see the figure painting and finished product. Take care!

[@savoysavoy2944]

A great model, many thanks for sharing your art and skills with us

[@TheKernelCollective]

Just want to say seeing a new video pop from you is a great feeling. Time to chill out and watch tonight. Can't wait. Thanks for all your work on these awesome videos! Mah friend!

[@Maxalhw]

Night Shift my friend i gotta admit, i do not understand the first thing about painting but i watch your videos because i think you're a great creator that deserves more attention. If i ever start painting my models i will actually pay attention and not have your videos as background noise. Sorry if it sounds mean, you're awesome and you've even inspired me to make more models!

[@roadweary5252]

If I’ve said it once, I’ve said it 100 times: I wish I had a fraction of your skills. Beautiful job, my friend!

[@Theover4000]

What a beauty! Always glad to see you upload!

[@TheModelerNest]

I'm always waiting for new videos! Thanks for sharing your work and knowledge! Great work as always

[@piotrcthlu]

First time watching scale modeling video instead of miniature painting, usually Warhammer as that's kinds my thing. I LOVE that you go about the paint job with joy and don't rush anything. I feel mini painting community is kicked in the head with the idea of SPEED PAINTING which is kinda a pressure you feel sitting to a mini. Like techniques efficiency this or that, I love your approach mate. Paintjob is obviously mind blowing, thank you I think this is very inspiring whatever is your miniature of choice I'll be trying some of things you talk about on my Krieg, and I am kinda confident it will work well Anyways happy to find your channel and I'm gonna stick around surely

[@kepler240]

beautiful. the contrast really brings it to life.

[@georgewelch2366]

The Michelangelo of modelers. Thank you for all you do.

[@nattyyoutube9621]

Nightshift could you do a tool tour of all the stuff you use for modeling, sculpting, bending photo etch parts, paint brushes etc.

[@sergiovasconcellosocriativo]

It is always a pleasure to watch your videos. Thank you very much, master. Cheers

[@blizzdog3881]

Night Shift you the man, what beautiful tank. Just stop by to say thanks for the info you pass along I started doing models last winter not knowing a damn thing but watching your videos I have learn a lot it makes modeling more fun when your projects look realistic.

[@karlbrohan2126]

Nice job! I've been using oil paints over acrylics for a long time. when doing rusting with oils, the tide marks can be eliminated by using a wash of clear mineral spirits over the whole area. Again, super job!

[@cerisekappes580]

I love to watch and listen to your process. Such beautiful results 😊

[@kostadinlozanovski81]

You are amazing Mr.NightShift !!!!

[@patrickcanter2831]

Fantastic! You are my . odel god sir! Really. Your skills are out of this world!

[@章可中]

You surely are the best tank modeler in the world ! No one else indeed!

[@stephenbridges2791]

Excellent work. Always pick up a few tips every time I watch. Very cool.

[@JedenSiedemDwa]

Awesome, totally! Especially that drum. All the best for You! ;)

[@johnnycooper7019]

Dear Martin, Bloody Good! Best Wishes Johnny

[@fabricedevos4273]

Very impressive as ususal! I really like the high contrast paint like this. It allows to see all the tiny details quickly and make the model very realistic (even if we all know that it is not like this in the real world, but it works).

[@littlejimmy2855]

You are the greatest. What can I say. It's crazy the artistic work that you do. I can't wait to see your videos every time. Thanks so much my friend! I've learned alot.

[@davidkilby1043]

Another great video

[@rolfgall9495]

Absolutely awesome and insane detailed. Near to unbelievable. You're a real artist. And your explanations are very informative and helpful. Beside this you are very modest too, which makes it very comfortable to watch. Thank you very much!

[@SO-kh4le]

It's definitely another great looking model one of your best 👌

[@russellmary175]

The paint colors fit you style, Uncle--good work (as always!)

[@janofe2232]

Your amount of knowledge always blows me away. As a miniatures painter I find it super inspiring watching your videos and applying some of those techniques to my sci-fi Infinity models. Currently working on copying your snow camo technique from a while ago onto the armour of my White Company. Thanks a million for sharing all your hard work with us!

[@isisnmagic1812]

Love the video, so stunning and loads of tips , thank you.

[@LyleHatch]

A wonderful build - I'm amazed by your techniques! Impressive and inspiring.

[@hansvandermeer7635]

Sweet! I love it. Well worth the wait. 👍👍

[@williamfordham8081]

Absolutely incredible 🤌

[@scagmo_au]

Love the model and love the new format. Keep it up mate!

[@vagabundolino]

Muh friends never gets old

[@MrFatShanks]

Been looking forward to this episode for ages, and here it is :)

[@daniellejones5981]

WOW! Again... You're my Inspirator these days!!!

[@robc4277]

Awesome work and great pointers as usual! Thank you

[@Roden7100]

Great work!

[@gunrunner35]

Another great model! Awesome job, as usual. Really love all the details and the amount of details that you put into your models. Truly inspiring work. Thank you for posting so we can appreciate and learn.

[@johntreloar8203]

It's another winner in my eyes, looks great.

[@rhyansanpedro]

Life is simple, I see a new night shift video I click and I watch! Awesome work as always!

[@wi-fi3231]

You’re one reason why Fridays are the best days! Absolutely love your models and your relaxing videos. The Tamiya valentine was actually the first tank I ever built. Only one thing: I think the mud guards at the front and back where made in rubber and left unpainted. My instructions at least said so

[@АртемГоликов-ъ1ы]

Отличная модель.SUPER!!!!!!!!!!

[@lesthiele4921]

Another excellent tutorial from one of the true masters of this hobby, these videos are almost ' a must watch' when they come out, best regards from Australia 👍👍👍👍

[@cre8ive34]

Your painting and weathering is next world.

[@Darryl.M]

Buitiful work as usual.
