- My friends, how about another styrofoam building, but this time with cinderblocks and cracked plastered walls?

Dude you really have helped me develop a love for modeling again. I just kind of fell out of it but your videos brought me back and taught me some great techniques too. Much love from South Africa.
Same here! Now I buy a new tank or military kit everytime i finish one 😂 I think I need to hold off on spending so much money on them for a while
@@yunggrilledcheese6974 Not to mention paint and photo etch man.
I’m also South African.
I know me tot. I wish I would have stayed with it.
Cinder blocks are quite commonly used in the UK. I grew up near a power station, and the ash from the boilers was used to make finder blocks in a nearby factory.
Thank you for showing each part separately. As a beginner diorama builder and learn so much from watching your channel.
@John Thomas I'll check it out , Thank You
@John Thomas her channel is really awesome
Hey uncle, I would be interested in seeing you do a Vietnam war tank such as a Patton or a Sheridan. That era doesn’t get enough love from modelers. Those tanks have a ton of personality such as shark mouths, mounted miniguns and umbrellas.
Ooh that would be cool. Some cool handpainted artwork, some palm tree camoflage, loads of stowage, and some depressed looking crew members. Would give Uncle the chance to paint some camo uniforms as well as darker skin from any black soldier. Very cool idea.
Not to mention plenty of mud too
1:30 For metal poles, I'd recommend getting some brass tubing made for modellers. It's cheap, and easy to cut.
For those who live in Adelaide and her surrounding areas, Foamex in Edinburgh has the right foam for model usage and they cut it to size! Not sure about cost though I haven't had a chance to go myself yet
Just adding to what Heatedpete said earlier, breeze blocks used to be made from a waste byproduct of gas producing works when gas was manufactured from coal. In North London, where I lived as a child, we had a Gas Works and they made breeze blocks there. Thanks for another excellent video.
The color gradient is really cool! The paint job really compliments the texture. Excellent work!
Top tip from my experience, for various metal poles I use cooper brake pipes. You can find them in different sizes like 4.75mm, 6mm, 8mm, and 10mm and you can buy them in meters in local automotive shop. They are also very easy to bend in hand so it is very easy to do for example road lamp post bent by a tank or a truck plus thay are empty inside so you can squeze some wiring into them and make real lights.
In this mad situation in our country your videos are helping me alot. Sorry for the politics.. you really helped me get back to modelling, one of the few things that can bring some light to my life.. Thank you! ❤️
Wow your work is amazing. It looks just a real as the real building.
You are incredibly talented. Thank you for posting this. I am learning a lot and getting ready to reenter this hobby after a 40 year hiatus.
Thank you.
Hello my friend. Its been great to come across your channel. I've been searching for content just like this for guidance and inspiration. You have both in abundance. The blocks you refer to are cinder blocks, very light weight and used for internal walls only because they are porous. Here in the UK they are known as Thermalite. The blocks used outside, especially for retaining walls which have strength, are called concrete blocks which are nearly three times as heavy. Cheers.
Always love a foam carving video.
Thank you , Uncle Martin .

My Friends! Always look forward to these videos on Friday.
This is insane. You're not building a model warehouse, you're making a tiny real warehouse
From your description the blocks used in the actual building may well be cinder blocks, which used to be used in the British Isles made from compressed cinders. People here sometimes still call breeze blocks / cavity blocks the same thing, but these are made from concrete.
yes we have lots of cinder blocks in Britain and they are made from a weird porous rock thing
You can protect and prime the styrofoam in one step by mixing black paint with matte modpodge then painting it on. Use a cheap brush for it because once you do, because it can ruin the tip on your nice ones. Once the mod podge is dry you can use just about anything on the Styrofoam without damaging it
Thumbs up everybody! 👏
Its again very much a piece when a trainee is learning from a master.... cant wait for next week .
It’s always sad when the video ends but it’s always a good day when you upload!
You are a modern day Michelangelo !
You are a great renaissance art master. Unbelievable what things must be considered and thought of, over, to make a scene look real, how many layers... Like art painters do.
And your talking is great.
Hyperrealism.
Speechless! AGAIN!
Awesome way to start the weekend. Work day is done, cup of tea is ready, and a video from Uncle Night Shift. Perfect timing
@1:30 Next time, try sanding the straw with a fine grit sandpaper to help the watered-down putty stick better.
thats very nice ,a quick tip when you want to stick anything to the thermoplastic polymer like the straw and you dont care that much about the surface ,use some acetone to clean it also i found out that rather use primer melt in an old bottle of glue some old plastic sprue and mix it with putty ,this is what i am doing anyway and holds perfect !
Your work is amazing, your videos have become an addiction for me. I have learned so much, but I will never match your skills.
lets go diorama with conqueror
That was a brilliant video, and to think there is another lesson coming, so get a hurry on so we can all see the next installment, best regards from Australia.
Can you show me how to decorate a modern Russian tank with: fire damage, rust and explosive damage? You're a modeling genius!
Laser Creation World made a burned down Jagdtiger recently, you should watch it
Also pictures from destroyed tanks from the ongoing art are good reference since they're HD
You'll notice how tanks that burned down get very rusty very fast
You amaze me. I bet you could "Make A Silk Purse out of a Sows Ear." Excellent!
With the utmost respect, I love the way you pronounce chimney, 'chiminee'. Awesome video as usual, no one else gets close
Jeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeejj, its friday again. So another video from night shift :))))))))))))
Keep going Night Shift!!!
Low-density cinder blocks are called breeze blocks in the UK
I have never built any kind of miniature but I'm a crafty person and I love old run down stone buildings so your videos have inspired me to give building a try. Going to get some foam this weekend and try a mausoleum. Thanks for your tips! Your method of brick and stone making looks the best and most enjoyable way to do this. 😊
Very cool! I always look forward to your Friday videos. Thanks 👍💕
Again and again modelling at its best !!! :)
It even looks already to become very nice, can’t wait to see it finished.
Absolutely amazing!
You would think I'd learn?! I sometimes question the techniques you use and your choice of materials, only to be proved wrong, over and over again 🤦♂️ Building looks great, can't wait to see it finished! 👍
Amazing. Just how detailed this thing is.
Totally awesome. It is hard to believe that was a block of styrofoam! All the best for You! ;)
absolutely stunning!
Another very impressive tutorial - thank you.
Speachless ,you are a amazing Artist
Great vid as always. Always a joy to watch and learn from you!
Breeze blocks!
A suitable foam in North American would be called florist's foam. Usually a green color. Easily found in craft stores.
That looks amazing, love your work.
Cinder blocks in the UK are called Breeze Blocks
Damn, that’s already stunning!
You are a great inspiration. Really making me want to start doing this
oh yeah i love these types of builds
Genius at work! 👏👏👏
You sir are a genius. Awesome work...
Thank you. I learned a lot again. I love that you master glazing!
I am very impressed that you took a chunky block of foam and turned it into the building. Very nice job
Magical work again. Uncle, you're a legend.
Just for the fun and the challenge, NightShift should build a race car like a formula 1, all shiny without ANY weathering 🙃🤪
Utterly flipping brilliant
Amazing work - you make it look so easy!
Zen in Model building Thxs Night Shift.
very nice episode, again you showed different way to achive perfection.
What’s next? Uncle Nightshift makes a tiny scale model of his house? Can’t wait to see what you have in store for us.
Using some Soviet tank, I'd imagine.
@@anzaca1 it’s for the Conqueror.
fantastic work as always
great video !! Thnks for sharing!
It would be amazing if you made a wet tank, showered by rain but with large areas still dry because they are sheltered by big elements of the vehicle.
The blocks could be clinker, which is made of coal-processing by-products.
Incrivel, muito boa a pintura da parede amarela, muito realista, parabéns pelo trabalho
Maybe do a Ukrainian T-72 sometime? You could even make it a charity thing.
Really cool.
Great video.
To je prostě skvělá práce. ❗❗❗🇨🇿
Epic. This is coolest thing I ve seen on your channel.
Amazing work. Just discovered the model world, and it is truly mind-blowing what you're making. Especially really love this build, and you've inspired me to give it a go. Keep up the great work!
Very nice and inspiring one, thank you :)
Nice work Uncle Night Shift. Have a great weekend and thanks for another great video. Cheeers
Love this!
Ahoj,
Briton here, I've been to Michalovce and some small villages in the Sobrance region - if they're the bricks I'm thinking of, we do indeed use it here - usually on farmhouses and the like. Not nearly as ubiquitous though, we're mostly a red brick country.
Awesome job mister ❤️
U ARE A GENIUS !!
Lately I have been looking at alternate forms of construction and materials for building houses. I've looked at building houses out of shipping containers, giant concrete tubes, etc.; as for materials, I've researched materials such as adobe, dirt filled bottles, foam-crete and others.
So I looked at this video and I thought: "hmm, a warehouse made out styrofoam?, why not." Alas, as I watched the video it dawned on me: "oh... it is a scale model of a warehouse". I actually thought a life sized warehouse was going to be constructed out of styrofoam bricks. It would certainly have been a light house with a high survival rate against earthquakes (for the occupants). Good video though.
Another banger, Uncle NightShift!
Your videos inspired me to make my first diorama.
absolutely stunning work. no words can describe your amazing skills. love to see completely diffrent works from you..for ex maybe a train from mini art would be really nice. tnx
You could also model the building in 3D using something like SketchUp, which will allow you to rotate it and view it from any angle and then modify it before cutting any material.
Dude, you are an _artist._
Man I can't wait to see the diorama
Ooh! I’m so excited to watch this video!
Edit: Did not disappoint! This video was awesome!
awesome!!!
Very nice 👍
Letsgoooo another vid
Bricks are most likely an aerated concrete, it's light and insulates rather well. I believe it's used worldwide
Nádhera❤ miluji tvá videa
impressive, very nice 👍
not to worry we use cinderblocks in the uk :)
another great video. thanks for sharing. :)
Another great job¡!
