The Biggest Diorama I've Ever Built! Watermill in 1/35 Scale 

I only realised recently and i hope you have too but you are a pillar of the modelling community everyone knows you and follows your guides keep it up!

You are by FAR my favorite diorama creator on youtube not only for your detailed creation but also because your helpful commentary. Wish you all the best!

Dear Uncle. Now everyone sees why you changed your style of releasing videos. Its a VERY long video, but VERY GOOD as well. It soothing, detailed and - most importantly - i never felt you would rush through the topic. And thats what you did back in the day when we had weekly videos. So, dear Martin, thank you. Great video (amazing build too!) and a very own unique style too.

There's just something so satisfying seeing the diorama come together

When the World needs him most he returns!! Looks amazing uncle Night Shift!

Loving the "in person" cameos you added man! Really makes the video production oddly feel more "professional" somehow. THANK YOU FOR WHAT YOU DO.!!!

THE best 50 minutes of modelling I have ever watched……truly incredible work…..for a man who wasn’t sure about going into dioramas back in the day, too arguably the best diorama modeller on this planet……stunning, stunning piece…….👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

I am nearing my sixtieth year and have modelled on and off since I was a young boy. Over the years I gained experience and some of the financial means needed to improve and enrich my modelling pleasure. You Sir are awesome! You are a leonardo da vinci of this wonderful hobby and passion we have all become enslaved to! Thank you 🙏 so much for sharing all your hard work and advice it is hugely appreciated. 🤗

50 minutes! This will be perfect for tonight, thanks for the upload uncle Night Shift!

Seeing all of this come together slowly just makes me appreciate the work you Put into all of this.Modelling is a great hobby and you help to make the RU-vid community of the Hobby just simply a better płace.Thanks Uncle NS!

Oh wow the birch catkin bits as ivy leaves is such an inspired choice, love the small natural variation in exact shape and size versus store bought foliage

This model diorama building channel is by far one of the best here on RU-vid in my humble opinion. As someone who has been doing this type of work for over forty years I’ve seen everything under the sun in terms of techniques and trends . Products good or bad come and go. Model kits horribly produced or perfectly made are everywhere. True talent and most importantly someone who genuinely enjoys what they are doing always catches my eye. Story telling and fun are paramount in diorama creation. You my friend are excelling in those areas. May your imagination and joy never end…

Amazing work! After You painted the lower cobblestone sections, the "horror-look" was completely gone! It's a very nice and cosy scene!:)

i was REALY looking out for this one as a 15 year old modeler you have realy inspired me thx for that

This looks spectacular! There’s always a place for both sides of the diorama coin. Scratchbuilding gives you infinite freedom, but these commercial kits look amazing too. Love it at always, can’t wait for the next one!

This is your best one yet! It's been really fun and rewarding to follow your journey in modelling. Thank you, uncle Nightshift!

The best diorama I've ever seen. The detailed painting really brings it to life.

Amazing craftsmanship as always!

What a joy to watch you work! What an extraordinarily well planned presentation! You offer us all authentic technical expertise and masterful artistry wonderfully blended into an engaging vignette. This presents to all who see your incomparable handiwork a satisfying example of storytelling in three dimensions, with this exquisite, little moment held in place for all time . . . .

Night shift ive been watching your videos from pretty much the beginning and I'm amazed to see that they get better every time, every video seems to be an improvement on the last which I didn't think would be possible. It genuinely shows how much care and how much time you put in, the small talks you have added with your tips and reviews are amazing and I hope to see more of them in the future, outstanding work as always mate, thankyou for providing such high quality content.

Everyone of your Dioramas are awesome and inspiring. The way you describe your techniques is a wonderful way to learn from.

Man, you nailed it once again - IN SPADES !!! This is just SO good - ideas, technique and your approach to showing your work. THANKS - you are my go to channel for good advice and inspiration.

Ur not the only one with this level of attention to detail, all modelers have the same problem. Yeah we can reproduce real world exactly in miniature, cool. After uve built thousands, then what ...

I really enjoyed the video and the artwork too!!!

Thank you for the lovely inspiration, as always!! This was just absolutely incredible

You got me back into modeling, thank you for wonderful inspirations. Love your work!

Great work Uncle. Super glue's your answer for cuts. Stings but does the job. They even use it in hospitals. Found that out earlier this year. Hope you had a great Christmas.

This piece is beautiful. Great work. I love doing diorama work. Have not done one in a long time. What I like more than building it, is photographing one. It adds the life and dimensions to masterpieces such as yours.

Always a good day when you post a new video! Thank you for your inspiration!

Such a pleasure watching you work. Thank you for sharing!

Thank you My Kovacs for your effort in producing and posting this content - this is modelling on another scale. Your spoken English is impeccable too.

absolutely crazy, like 3d rendered, crazy

Simply beautiful!! I really love that one. Your skills improves a lot in 2023. I remember not so long time ago when you started building your own diorama et painting figurines. Your painting skills are simply out of this world. Thanks for sharing your work. I really appreciate it.

I absolutely Love it! Your technique is realistic and not at all spooky or looking like a haunted scene? The color scheme is so nice. I could never paint? My Mother painted. I draw in black and white. Make miniatures and design jewelry.

Your eye for the details is impeccable..those wood beams looked so natural and real..I love all your content and I too enjoy the commentary rather than having nothing but music play as you build..This piece turned out simply amazing

I really love your attitude! You're always very humble and saying such things like "it wasn't much work" and everybody can see, your work is absolutely perfect and a long way to go! This diorama is absolutely awesome and with insane details. It's telling a very nice story and it was very informative (again) about some of your techniques. One reason more, why I love your work and this channel! Many thanks again!

Just absolutely wow. I'm blown away by how good this looks.

AWESOME !!! So much detail, but not overly so You don't get lost, or over look something, but you never aren't seeing something. Your step by step narration & hints are so very appreciated. Learn something everytime I watch, even repeat veiwing. I wish I had your talents. Keep up the great work.

You are so amazing. Thank you for sharing this. I could watch you create all day.

This is an amazing build. Your painting technique is, as always, superb. I'm working on a book nook right now and really was struggling with copper verdigris, your downspouts are exactly what I needed to make it work!

this guy not a modeller anymore , he's a truly artist.

Another one of a kind Uncle Nightshift work of art. Beautiful. 👍 Thanks Martin.

This dude is an artists! My word the detail...

As someone who has no clue whatsoever about the effort that goes into making a diorama, its mind blowing to watch your craft and see the scene coming alive with every addition of detail. There were countless instances during the video when I thought - "Wow, that looks absolutely stunning" and you go ahead and add several more layers of detail and I am just speechless. Good is not good enough - perfection is where you draw the line! Thank you for sharing your work and amazing talent.

I love how at the 30 minute mark when you assembled everything I thought ohhh wow!! that looks pretty good and very realistic and then you ere like ohh btw the base is nowhere near finished lol so much detail man amazing work!

Perfect Saturday night watching. ❤ Blown away with your detail work as always! Very inspired to reference your brick work on my next project.

My main thought here is....your followers love what you offer in its truest form...meaning we dont count the days and apply pressure for you to produce. A true fan / follower appreciates you in your natural form of creating & sharing WITH YOUR HAPPINESS THRUNOUT being a HUGE reason we watch. #YourHappyWeRHappy

Wow amazing art work . Thank you so much.

Excellent diorama, RT diorama make some fantastic diorama buildings. The church is a really nice building, you must try it sometime

I bow in the presence of The Master. And your sense of humor is a nice addition. These kind of videos can get somewhat dry just based on the subject itself. A smile once in a while makes it all the better

Top notch. Humor with straight talk. Interesting. Amazing to someone who just rabbit hole here. And has no experience. Very well video. As the others ive hopped through

I'm loving these long form videos. Your work is very inspiring to me!

Fantastic, I was well stimulated as for my time not able to build and construct do to others but I hope to once again get back to the art of crafting until then I will stimulate my mind by watching others, praying that I will be able to continue this Fantastic relaxing art form, thanks for sharing your abilities and your love for the best self art outlet! 😊❤

Absolutely beautiful, Martin! Really love this! Your wood textures here are a new high, even for you!

Fantastic work, Uncle Night Shift! It came together so well, with all the extra details.

Insane amount of work and detail. Always looking forward to the next one.

This is one of the most beautiful things I've seen, amazing job especially with the building, like.. wow

Another great diorama. It was worth the wait. You are such a great artist. Thanks so much for sharing.

You are a true artist, your infinite variety of tones and shades are bordering on supernatural, brilliant!!

Incredible skill. Thanks for sharing.

Can't emphasize enough that this is just amazing, Martin. We all can learn a lot from you, and I hope to implement some of your techniques myself. Thanks! :)

5% kit + 95% Martin = 100% Perfection. I loved the ivy leaves and the pillows of moss on the roof.

New subscriber; what a great build, excellent video production, and teriffic narration!

Thanks and have a nice weekend y'all

Currently building a huge 2 metre by 50cm berlin 1980 diorama using a stack of tips amd advice from your page. Thanks for all the videos! 👏👏👏

Happy days - more Nightshift!!

What a stunning and beautifully detailed diorama. Love the work that you do 😊😊😊

Stunning. Thanks for all.

Coming home from late shift with some model projects on my bench... and saw THIS. Your videos are always so inspiring and helpful! PS: Talked several times with the shop owner of RT dioramas at model shows - he really is a good fellow. Keep up your great work. Greetings from Germany.

The roof reminded me of Lincoln Logs from my youth :) Thank you for all you do!

Fantastic craftsmanship thanks for sharing your tips

Extraordinary piece of work. Wow…🙌

Martin, if you want to even out the surface of your wood stain try using a "rubber" as French polishers call it, it's basically a small cloth 'bag' filled with cotton waste that holds the stain, and you can wipe it over a surface to give a really even finish - much better than using a brush. Sorry for using English terminology, but there's sure to be a video on it to give you an idea.

Absolutely brilliant… bravo‼️

You just keep outdoing yourself Uncle nightshift with each build and project! Stunning! I'm really looking forward to the next one!

What an incredible job you did on that diorama. Very well done Sir. Great life lesson also.

I love all the work you do it is always so cool to watch your projects come together

Night Shift, I want to say that you very much for the information in your build of the water wheel. You have given me a reason to look into learning about 3D printing as well as well as giving it a try. I truly hope that you have a Merry Christmas and a very good New Year please do more videos.

I try to watch other diorama builder videos…but none paint their grass, like you…so I just can’t watch them. Your builds are the best, for the extra attention you pay to your ground work. Thank you for your videos🤘

Absolutely stunning work!

Your work is truly second to none. I love your channel and your hard work and attention to detail is really inspiring. Thank you for the content you make.

Amazing video Night Shift yet again! When i use varnish for wood work you can use a cloth to rub the varnish in and you'll have a nice smooth finish, no streaks or patches.

Amazing, thank you as ever.

I can’t believe how long this video is! This is great.

New subscriber here...and I have to say, your videos are the best part of my day! I just love watching your incredible skill and also hearing about the hows and why you do certain things. I have learned so much watching your videos and my own dioramas are going to benefit. I am currently working on my first diorama in a really long time (at least 7 years) as I am just now getting back into modeling. I think I am a bit crazy, but my diorama is about as big as this huge water mill one you just did. I am scratch-building a bombed-out old bank with a Navy Seal team conducting a manhunt for a fugitive who will be hiding out on the 3rd floor. I have scratch-built walls and concrete columns out of XPS foam, a wood floor structure using wood popsicle-type sticks with cardboard floors and drywall, cardboard stairs, and a broken styrofoam "concrete" flat roof with protruding rebar. Of course, this means tons of debris on the ground so I am looking at a LOT of painting of the individual stones, bricks, broken joists, ceiling, etc. But, I'm approaching it with your "infinity" solution and tackling one small area at a time so it doesn't seem so overwhelming. I have a very limited budget and just used a lot of Christmas money to purchase some good tools and a small variety of paints but it is not anywhere close to what probably could and should be used on this model. But, I'm making do with what I have and trying to adjust the steps to fit with what colors and items I actually have. So far it's been quite enjoyable and my wife commented the other day that she is really impressed and it really looks like concrete - and a complete mess of a building (since it's been destroyed!) so that was nice to hear! Anyway, thank you so much for all you do and your willingness to share your talents with the world! Your videos are so much fun to watch! Eventually, I'll get through all of them and I hope to be able to join your Patreon one day to help support you. Take care, muh friend, and keep up the outstanding work!

So beautiful. Congratulations

i love it you got me into modeling a few months ago and since then ove completed three models keep doing fantastic I love all your work this video was worth the wait!
