Façade Series No.1 in Cooperation with Martin Kováč Nightshift

The facade 1/35 Nightshift set transforms your diorama into a living urban environment, where every wall tells a story shaped by time and use.

Historical Context & Theme

Urban environments have always played a central role in 20th-century conflicts. From bombed European cities during the Second World War to more modern urban settings, building facades define the atmosphere of a scene. They frame movement, create cover, and carry visible traces of damage, occupation, or abandonment.

Walls are never just surfaces. They hold marks of time, weather, and human presence. Cracks, worn textures, and structural details all contribute to the identity of a place. In a diorama, a facade is often what anchors the entire composition, giving context to everything around it.

This collaboration with Martin Kováč, known as Nightshift, reflects a deep understanding of how environment shapes realism. It focuses on creating a structure that feels authentic, not just visually accurate but atmospherically convincing.

Figure / Vehicle Details & Realism

This facade 1/35 Nightshift set is designed with strong attention to architectural detail and surface texture. The proportions are carefully adapted to 1/35 scale, ensuring compatibility with figures, vehicles, and accessories.

The sculpting captures subtle imperfections that make a structure believable. Edges are not overly clean, surfaces carry variation, and the overall composition reflects real-world wear. These elements provide a solid base for painting and weathering.

The collaboration aspect is visible in the design approach. The structure is not generic. It is built to support realistic finishing techniques, allowing modelers to push detail further.

The facade building 1/35 Nightshift set stands out through its balance between structure and texture, making it a strong visual foundation for any scene.

Diorama & Display Use

Imagine a narrow street framed by worn walls. Light hits the facade at an angle, revealing textures and imperfections. Figures move through the space, partially obscured by the structure.

This set allows you to build that environment. It defines the scene, creating depth and direction. The facade acts as both a backdrop and an active element within the composition.

The facade 1/35 Nightshift set is ideal for urban dioramas where atmosphere is key. It supports storytelling by shaping how the viewer reads the scene, guiding attention and reinforcing realism.

Placed correctly, it becomes the core of your diorama, around which everything else is built.

Material & Customization

The structure is produced in a material suitable for detailed painting and advanced weathering techniques. Surfaces are designed to respond well to washes, dry brushing, and layered effects.

Customization is where this set excels. You can create variations in aging, damage, and environmental impact. From subtle wear to heavy destruction, the facade can be adapted to match your vision.

The design encourages creative freedom, making it possible to develop unique scenes with strong visual identity.

Who It’s For

This set is designed for modelers who focus on realism and environment. It suits those building urban dioramas where structure and atmosphere are central elements.

The facade 1/35 Nightshift set is particularly suited to intermediate and advanced hobbyists who want to push their weathering and finishing techniques. It appeals to builders looking for a strong, versatile base for their projects.
