The Biggest Model I've Ever Built! Morser Karl Gerät 040 (Trumpeter 1/35)

[@bruhnegus]

I find it quite funny how this model alone is as big as my biggest diorama 🗿 Anyway the level of details and realism is already incredible 🔥

[@richardorta8960]

If he does a diorama of this I'd have to watch it thrice just to believe he did it.

Hi

[@altbzat]

Still ready every Friday for the new video! 😁 It just keeps getting better and better :)

[@scagmo_au]

My life had lost all meaning these past few weeks, now that Uncle is back, everythibg is as it should be again!

[@lamp8879]

Same

[@jonroads8281]

Ah, the comforting joy that is a new Night Shift video, it's Friday night, and time to relaaaaaaxx...

[@thomasbirzer7729]

Finally a new video from Martin. I missed it.

[@dave499]

It's a good day when Uncle Nightshift drops a video!

[@fredrikhultman557]

Ahh...a fellow Blitzkrieg enjoyer, i also really liked that game.

[@chompette_]

I like how the wheels-up for travelling error implies the mortar slid along on its belly like an otter in the snow

[@adasteele475]

Best start to the year possible

[@vonp588]

Michtoy is my regular store. Love seeing them advertised on my favorite channel!

[@roadweary5252]

Killer job, mah friend!

[@robertlewis4555]

Good to see you back

[@Musstrafaccatrator]

Nice to see you back in 2023 😀

[@danksouls6034]

You've probably been asked to do this a bajillion times already, but I'd *love* to see you tackle a Warhammer tank kit, while applying all the cool superdetailed modelling tricks and such! I think it'd turn out beautifully. Love your work!

[@skeeter5076]

Would love to see him do a Leman Russ or, even better, a Basilisk

[@ThatAussieBloke1]

Night Shift is back, fantastic 😊

[@johntreloar8203]

Nice work Mafriend, welcome back.

[@ladzhandle]

Build a plane kit. It would be awesome!

[@highjumpstudios2384]

Only if he weathers it like he does tank models. Mud caked around the wheels, copious amounts of Grease, and tons of weathering.

[@St-lb8yy]

There is a wartime photo of a Mosquito that had flown through a fireball burning off most of the paint to reveal the wood underneath. Now that would look awesome

[@charlieyes4946]

*_N O !_* But in all seriousness, he’s stated that he doesn’t want to because it’s not his style.

[@granola661]

no

[@cdfe3388]

Honestly, I build more planes than anything, though I obviously love vehicles, figures, and ships. A Night Shift aircraft would be brilliant!

[@masterofthelag8414]

As someone who really likes the look of the Gerat anyway, and loves your modelling work, this combined with it being a huge kit is a heck of a combo! Looking forward to seeing how this goes!

[@hrexthedoish3419]

Seeing this made my day perfect!!

[@030corpetlouvet]

No words, awesome. Friday best moment on the week. Thanks for your work and vids

[@instillthefear]

I started modeling at the beginning of last year and watching your videos has made the quality of my builds skyrocket. Love the videos and appreciate the work and dedication you have for the craft! 😎

[@sh60guy25]

YAY you're back!

[@bandyboo2805]

I dont actually build military kits, mostly sci fi, tabletop, and scratchbuilds. I watch these because I like your realism. However the tin foil rivets are a brilliant idea too. So thanks for that.

[@Gothmetalhead13]

This is amazing!

[@dominiqueros5534]

As usual with your works 'amazing' and thank you for your ideas for the rivets and many more Congratulations from a Spanish 🇪🇸 Swiss🇨🇭 modeler living in France near Switzerland 🇨🇭

[@commanderthorn7014]

“My friends” never gets old 😂

[@The_Modeling_Underdog]

That's not a build. It's an obstacle course. Well done, Martin. A brutal beast of a kit. About those weird welds on the lower hull. They're called plug welds. From a comment on the Battleship New Jersey channel: "The welded up holes are called plug welds, they're actually pretty common in extremely high stress applications as not even a modern weld on modern steel is always strong enough to resist high torsion or shear loadings, which plug welds can significantly improve." Cheers.

[@adamrynski1384]

No wreszcie wróciłeś!!!!!!!😁

[@saeran-neil522]

Brilliant - I've just purchased this myself!

[@kalbs89]

super cool! I'm looking forward to the painting and weathering post.

[@stephenjudaysr8915]

Welcome to a new year... please keep up the excellent modeling!!

[@tomtruesdale6901]

That thing is massive! Going to look great when you are done with it.

[@johnboy384]

Awesome!, great to see you back. Have a great year. =)

[@JerryH171]

A fellow former Blitzkrieg player, that game really sparked my interest in scale modeling as well as sudden strike.

[@xNevikKx]

Holy smokes! Impressed. Can't wait for the weathering

[@mikequandt7724]

Martin, I've been watching your tutorials for over 2 yrs now and have learned so much and I thank you for sharing your knowledge and talent. I've been a modeler since 1971. Fell out of the hobby long enough to be surprised at the various tools, aftermarket parts, and supplies that are now available. Watching your videos helps me utilize those products properly to turn out a fine project. Soon I'll be building my first ever Tiger. Any suggestions for a manufacturer would be helpful. ( leaning towards purchasing a kit by Takom) Again, I thank you for sharing and I certainly look forward to watching more of your talents expressed on KZbin.

[@rafarazniewski6154]

Ahhhh....Blitzkrieg lot of time, even now, my favoritte game "verschanz und bereit". Great work!

[@captainramius5047]

Firstly, that would look simply beautiful in a big diorama on the steppes! Secondly, I have a suggestion for, perhaps a scratch build project…

[@Pint-Painters]

What

[@captainramius5047]

@@Pint-Painters The BIS lunar lander, a space ship designed for a lunar stay of 2 weeks for 3 men. It wouldn’t be dainty or flimsy like the actual lunar module, it’d be the sort of thing you can bang your fist on. Plenty of rivets to pin wash, plenty of interior detail to add. Here’s a nice picture of the schematic: pbs.twimg.com/media/D1KcXeIW0AAiYBf.jpg

[@cravinghibiscus7901]

@@captainramius5047 that looks cool, but a retro moon rocket build has to be the tintin one, sorry! xD

[@captainramius5047]

​@@cravinghibiscus7901 Fair enough, But I think the BIS one is more practical, despite being more than 40 foot tall

[@R.A.V.E.Design]

Как же это круто! Наконец-то мы дождались тебя!!!

[@neilwilson5785]

Awesome build!

[@Snowstrider0001]

Wow, that mortar is really going over the top. Impressive work once again.

[@jacobakana5649]

100% worth the wait! This is an absolute unit of a kit, I can see why it took a while to build, it looks great. This would turn into a monster of a diorama, can’t wait!

[@riaanhenning469]

Happy New Year Buddy and thanks for the awesome video and model.

[@yemo34]

My boi is back. And I'm drooling over this build!

[@paulregner5335]

As mentioned, it truly is three entire kits rolled into one. I am really looking forward to the coming steps on this one!

[@babylonsburning1]

Great! You're back Uncle. Fantastic modelling. Love the way you sand, fill and surface your projects, super inspiring for us mere modelling mortals. Canit wait to see the painting.

[@Leescreativeart]

If you see this, THANK YOU…. I am currently building a 72 x 40 wall map of the world from a company called “enjoy the wood.” The map is cool and i am using little pylons I cut out of wood. I was worried about how to sand all of them down and your tip about putting the wheels on a drill bit worked!!! It turned like a 3 hour sanding job into about 30-35 minutes. I’ll try to post a video in a while when it’s done and I’ll give you thanks again and credit for the sanding tip!! Haha. Wahoooooo🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@rwseemore1]

Your skill is very impressive especially like your dioramas, where you build walls etc. Learned so much, when I modeled wish I'd known some of the thinks you do, outstanding!

[@amyz360z]

Thank you! This model is on my bucket list.

[@phlyphan1083]

YESS this looks like an AWESOME project, can't wait for how this one will turn out

[@johnmoorefilm]

I made a movie in Slovakia called “Behind Enemy Lines” in 2000, worked with some great Slovak modellers - you, my friend are absolutely world-class❤ congratulations on your amazing work 🇸🇰

[@flyingscotsman9657]

I've just started working on a 1/43.5 scale model of one of the few guns even bigger than this - Schwerer Gustav. It is only after I finished 3D printing all the parts for the gun did I realise the completed model won't fit on my current workbench - the construction could be interesting!

[@hrexthedoish3419]

I can’t be the only one that thinks that these kits look good with just the plastic Color and PE and texture

[@tedpilchak7096]

Perfect timing! I’m building the newer Trumpeter kit, but with the railroad transport system. Learned a lot already! Thanks, Uncle Night Shift!

[@loganski_2158]

a surprise but a welcome one. What a cool build can’t wait to see how this one will turn out.

[@L_ennyman]

i never thought that uncle nightshift would buy this monstrosity!, good luck on this one man!

[@kriztov265]

What a great platform to show off your skills in bringing this to life. Bravo.

I always feel threatened in a way when he shows his "very bad 16 year old kits"...

Beautiful, detail, and details. Great job

[@alwoodsmodellingmayhem]

Oh my life!!!! Just stunning Martin!!! The kit looks wonderful, the work you put in to it superb and the quality of the finish awesome!!👏👏👏👏👏👏

what an awesome beast to build! and perfect timing too, seeing as i JUST got my Karl kit just last week. really looking forward to seeing the monster getting paint

[@jilthunder2276]

Great project - I love it!!! Thank you very much for building this vehicle!

I had the dragon version of this kit glad I traded it for a 48 scale full interior tiger takom kit lol looks great and it’s Yuge cheers Martin

[@TJ-rp5nd]

Always a joy to watch. Thanks.

[@georgesiere161]

What a way to start the year! I'm totally psyched to see this one come together!

Wow what a gun and awesome build as always my friend

This one's going to be EPIC!!

[@pedroalbicastrense353]

great assembly, you motivated me to mount mine which has been in my stock for years ;)

[@casualmilsim2459]

Been looking forward to this one. It looks like a monster. You're a brave man. Can't wait to see the painting video.

[@mikemodels928]

I love 1/35 scale for the amount of details. Looks really impressive.

[@sparky694]

Great looking build! I've been binging on your videos daily and re-watching the same ones multiple times. Your amazing work inspired me to take a break from aircraft modeling and start building tanks. I've learned so much from your techniques, thank you!

[@naenaeman5810]

so awesome

[@joemiserendino3161]

great build, looking forward to the final result. tempted to pick this up to go with my 1/72 dora railway gun (hobby boss).

[@shanevanorder2644]

Nice work you really go after it

[@jamesbruce1975]

Blitzkrieg was a legit epic game! I'd almost forgotten about it until seeing this video! Lovely model as always

[@neilgibbs3880]

Stunning job as always. Can’t wait to see it painted. 👍👍👍

[@FTModelsGreece]

Hi my friend. Very nice work in this Morser. I made this kit from Trumpeter many years ago and it is a very good model but needs careful work. Keep up your great work.

[@Sasha-jk6wo]

Your patience for small details is legendary.

[@karolmalinowski9097]

When you mentioned something big in the last video, I was betting it'll be propably 1:16 model. But this, this is way more impressive even. I'm super curious how you balance painting such huge model with your attention to detail.

[@Gespenter]

This thing reminds me of my Imperial Gaurd Baneblade i assembled in scale. I used your armor texturing guide to make it apear more realistic

[@sferguson1130]

Good lord, what a behemoth! Can’t wait to see how much paint this gobbles up lol. Always impressed, with how crispy clean your construction phase is.

[@claudiolopez997]

Great work on a nice looking kit.

[@mr9263]

Woah wasnt expecting THAT

[@jogados]

That remark about Blitzkrieg hits home, I too was about 12 when I first played the game and saw it. You took the gun, pressed Y, then aimed at the Soviet held village at the bottom of the map and the next thing that happened was that everything and everybody was killed on your 14 inch monitor XD. It could fire only one shot, then needed to be resupplied. P.S Amazing progress! Now I have to get one myself! XD

[@colm9419]

Looks incredible man

[@sebastiannicolaikaupe5175]

Bloody hell, this thing is a monster! A very impressive monster, even! Makes me think of the 2A3 Kondensator I have still sitting in my stash, waiting...

[@SuperiorOverlanding]

Good to see you back! I knew you were coming back with a big model, and was surprised it wasn't the new 1/16 M4A3E8 Sherman by Andy's Hobby Headquarters. Would love to see you tackle that kit!

[@hissingsidll750]

Picked up so many ideas from this guy. Now exhibiting them

[@StevenRafael268]
