I'm a night owl. And also a modeller obsessed with rough steel textures and weathering ¯\\_(ツ)_/¯
Well hello there! I'm Martin, a plastic modeller from Eastern Europe.
I enjoy building, detailing, weathering and documenting the creative process on my models (which are usually tanks, and by usually I mean always).
My channel is about all the things we, armor modellers, enjoy. I make detailed vlog-style video tutorials from my builds where I explain and demonstrate how to use techniques ranging from basic to advanced. Washes? Oil paints? Chipping? Rust? Mud? Dust? Battle damage? Well, I've got just the thing.
If you want to learn some new techniques and maybe get inspired for your own projects, you've come to the right place.
Some day, soon probably to be honest, you will be looked at as raising the bar for the hobby and pushing it forward while sharing all your knowledge for everyone to raise their skills considerably, just like the legend Sheperd Paine did.
Hallo, this is my favourite trilogy diorama. Night Shift and Laser creation world are the best I have seen on youtube. Have you considered a diorama in sepia , or black and white only. I think it would be a challenge with a basic range of paints. Thank you for a great channel.
I started with their 1/1200 Titanic when I was about 9 😂 was weird considering I used basic cosmetic stuff like nail clippers and rough nail files to do it, that type of stuff, was glue filled to hell but still, was A way into it all 😂
That was a great job you did. There was only one thing you could have done to make it better. The light Pole, if you would have made it light up, that would be the only thing to do to make it better. I still would give this project a 10 out of 10. You are one of the best. There is out there.
My dude, my favorite and most talented scale modeler and painter on RU-vid. You gotta make a turtle tank next. I would love to, but my skills are no match for that level of mad max, custom orkiness. The chicken coop! I believe in you! But….you know, should make it look like it just got knocked out cause that’s only right and proper.
FAR OUT my man.. What do you suggest for a novice beginner? What kind of equipment do you recommend for a starting point, ie. Brushes, paints, styrofoam, balsawood.... cutter.. I mean a complete novice. Thank You Sir.
Nice tutorial. Great videos thanks. Also the phrase “keep building models, do not collect them” is the best phrase in the plastic model hobby environment, great job.
Wonderful build. The engine you printed... A very small V18 diesel in a very small locomotive? A small 4 cylinder in-line diesel would make more sense. Actually, I am surprised you chose that engine to print. A 4 cylinder car engine would be a more logical choice for such a small machine.
I haven't said it prior (i don't think), but i really enjoy these real life locations segments you've begun putting in your videos - they're just a really nice inclusion - keep up the good work! Also Borderlands reference at the start? Noice
Hi Martin, it's me, Cliff here. I am really enjoying watching this video because you are tearing stuff up! Not unlike the recent photos I sent to you, but not visible from the outside. However, you just inspired me to do more. I have a set of nice metal tracks I was going to use to get a great middle sag, but my reference photos show that the tanks had side skirts which completely hide the realistic sags so Im going with the lit tracks instead. Love the way you are building this torn up. Imagine an old rusty engine becoming a work of art! I wonder how many hours did it take to paint this kit?
I love your work mate, realistically one of the best modellers around... Now lets talk about one of the funniest opening screens of all time!! Thank you for a bloody good laugh
I love the light pole, that is such a distinctive feature. I am sure you have heard, watching you makes me feel so inadequate, but I am learning. Thank you for sharing your skills. Plus your videos are so relaxing.
Hi Martin, I've neglected my own diorama channel for over 2yrs, but I've kept my engine chugging by watching and re-watching all of your previous videos, every one of which is pretty much perfect and all of which are interesting, and inspiring. In short, your videos make me cry! How can anyone hope to compete??? I can't hope to match your camera work/editing, production, narration, and modelling skills. I'm sure I'd beat you in a few rounds of shin-kicking though. Joking aside, I AM learning your method for producing videos and hope to reach a reasonable standard soon and get back to doing stuff on my own channel. Oh, welcome to the world of plaster of Paris buildings by the way. Now get and cast your own rather than purchase a plaster kit! Keep up the great work!
And people watch shoes getting shined on another channel...I appreciate the even more realistic treatment this got than your figures and tanks do. I would guess the animals need a low contrast treatment for realism.
