- 1:15 Scale. Model Engineering. One-Off Aluminum Model. Truly Scratch-Built.
The custom metal models built by Guillermo Rojas Bazán are considered the best in the world in their category by several institutions of wide international prestige such as the Department of Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering at the University of Notre Dame, the National Museum of the United States Air Force and Christie's South Kensington. See "Recognition letters" here:

He has worked as a professional model maker in four different countries building over 150 aluminum models in different scales for museums, collectors and aviation art galleries around the world during 38 years. See the related story:

This is the man I was telling you about that is a friend of mine. I always enjoy admiring his work over and over again it’s amazing what you can do from scratch building with metal.
Jim, thank you for the nice comment. You know that I really appreciate your friendship.
Another masterwork from the master of model aircraft design & construction! This kind of model craft is as good as it gets!
Thank you for the kind comment, sir. I built this model in 2004, but unfortunately I couldn't "weathered" it as I would have liked (as I did with the Ju 87) because the client didn't want to.
Dear friend, I´m very glad that you enjoyed the videos and I appreciate the kind words. Thank you!
Señor Rojas Bazan, you are above and beyond excellence. The models you produce are absolutely stunning. If anyone did not know better they would think they were looking at the real thing. You have been blessed with one of the most unique talents ever bestowed upon one individual. Keep up with the good work and continue to be successful.
Charles, thank you very much for your comment. Yes, in times without internet, many people when seeing the photos of some of my models thought that they were real airplanes. In a few months I'll upload a new video about my current model (still under construction), a Ju87 B1.
Great work Guillermo. I've also seen your work in FSM. You are a genius.
Such detail, wonderful work.
Thank you, sir!
Hi rojasbazan
ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL work my friend.
You are with out a doubt the BEST scratch-built model maker I have ever seen.
The attention to detail is INCREDIBLE especially the engines,pure genius.
I have watched ALL of you videos and am amazed at the level of detail in all your aircraft .
You must be in your workshop 24/7 creating these masterpieces.
I salute you sir and keep up the great work.
Respect
CM6 :-)
I always admire your work.
Thank you for being here, Jim.
This is one of the first model kits i had as a kid. Love this plane. Amazing work rojas 💜
Thank you, Roni.
Sir, this is art. Highest technical proficiency and art. Respect.
+Karl
Danke schön, Karl.
This came up on my CZcams account again. I enjoy looking at this model once more. I hope your wildcat is doing well. Jim
Jim, thank you so much for your kind words and support through so many years, my friend.
Once again has this master craftsman shows his skill.
Thank you for the comment.
Wonderful job. Really a work of art. Your cat seems to be very impressed, too.
This aircraft is awesome. You appreciate it more after a blunt, and see all the intricate details.
Thank you for the comment, Rookie.
flawless and super-top work as always! master Rojas
Thanks so much for your comment, Ivan.
Gillermo:
Realmente un gran trabajo de miniaturización. Te felicito.
Luis Estrella. Argentina
Fantastic work
Thank you, sir.
Amazing work. Many thanks for sharing.
Thank you for watching the video, sir.
The incredible challenge of scratch-building to that scale and quality -- complicated by having a kitty near all that work! I hope nothing was ruined.
Thank you for the comment, Hector. My lovely kitty appears in several of my videos; B-17, Bf110, P-40 and Vought OS2U. In the Kingfisher video can be seen his last photo in which he is seen resting over the drawings of the model; two days later we had to put him to sleep because he had very advanced brain cancer and suffered a lot. He never broke a single piece of my models .I dedicated a link to this sweet creature on my website:

@@rojasbazan Losing a sweet cherished pet is so sad... but they leave us with beautiful memories... and pride that they accepted us. ☮
Up until now, I have enjoyed videos of good-looking plastic model aircraft. However, it was rare to see it once or twice more. Because it is a work that reflects excellent painting techniques, but it felt like a cicada shell. Fortunately, I met your artwork. This is what I wanted. I have been observing the details many times. Every time I appreciate your work, I discover new surprises.
Ｉ sincerely hope that your work and website will be known to many people.
Thank you, sir. The aluminum construction of these models (similar to the originals) panel by panel and showing the undulation and wrinkles of the metal sheets, show a realistic finish. For this same reason, there is no need to use the artificial "painting secrets" or extremely complex paint mix so used in current modeling, many times in an overly exaggerated and artificial way. Here shadows and glitters are real, not simulated, so they "change" when looking at the model from different angles, like the real thing.
As an ex-mechanical engineering draughtsman, I am amazed at the detail and finish of complex components from drawings, at such a small scale. Maestro.
@@mikes9224 Thank you for the kind comment, Mike.
Stunning model. I'm around the real thing often and your model is extremely accurate. Bravo.
+William Haley
Thank you, William.
@uzimodem
Thank you! These models were commissioned. Next year I¨ll take orders again.
I am very much interested learning this art and tried it with some aluminum cans.
Sir really finding your video helped me alot. Thank you for sharing your art. Loved it and very beautifully done.
I would like to see some tutorial videos from you.
Thank again Sir for sharing your art.
Sir, after finishing the B-24 (still under construction), I will dedicate myself exclusively to working on a "tutorial kit", which will be a combo of video, booklet and semi-finished aluminum parts. This is a project that I have had for many years and the time has finally come to work on it. When the tutorial is ready, I will promote it through this youtube channel and on my website. Thank you for your kind words.
@majwalt
Thank you for your visit and kind comment!
An american company bought some of my models and they were reproduced in limited editions (using tooling and different techniques) by craftsmen in Eastern Europe.
No other word can describe this other than excellent!!!!
You can see the brochure on the adhesive that I use on my website in the link ¨Internationel Recognition¨ (Magazines & Newspapes).
I am currently working on my first DVD tutorial to teach all my techniques and tips. Thanks for watching.
Incredible skills
Thank you, sir.
Que hermoso trabajo, felicitaciones
Amazing!
Thanks for watching, sir.
Mr. Douglas would be quite proud of this star of the battle of Midway.
Bill, thank you again!
Thank you!

Thank you for your kind comment!
@CjsPanchito1
Muchas gracias Luis por tu comentario.
Como siempre, muy bueno!!!
Gracias por el comentario, Miguel.
Astonishing!
Thank you for watching, Wrenn.
@SlyDawg951
Thank you for your kind comment!
Thank you, George!
This goes beyond artwork. I shudder to think how many man hours go in to such a project.
You are right (about Mishi). Thank you!
@astonmartin90
Yes, every part and every detail is made by me. Nobody help me build my models. Thanks for the comment.
awsome,just awsome
+Andy R. Thank you!
Truly amazing, my favorite plane from ww2
Thank you for watching, sir.
@CaptnDave69u
Thank you, CaptnDave!
Delightful Rojas :-)))
Thank you, my friend.
parabens...lindo trabalho...
Thank you for your kind comment!
Early SBD-3, May 1942, Task Force 16, Carrier Enterprise.
Es un placer revisitar tus videos cada cierto tiempo, y parar la imagen en cada detalle. Maravilloso pero como todo lo bueno, se hace demasiado corto. Espero tus DVD, un afectuoso saludo, Luis.
Amazing! I have watched several of your videos and decided to subscribe to your channel. I hope to see some longer vids (or video series) showing you do the actual work. The finished product is fantastic to look at, but the process would be fascinating. BRAVO, sir!
Thank you for the comment, sir. Make a video tutorial is a very old project in which I have worked a bit but until now I have not had time to finish it. I hope to complete and edit it soon because a lot of people are waiting for this video for years. Currently I am finishing my Ju 87 in 1:16 scale. Soon I will upload the first part of the video on this model. Thanks for watching!
superb!
@beberanjal
Thank you!
Fantastic details!
Thank you, Richard.
Wow what a JOB you did this is awsme model and true history War Bird the plane that turn the tide against Japan at Midway
AMAZING!!!

@OU812ICRUNVS
I´m glad that you enjoyed all my videos. Thank you.
Gracias por tus palabras. Si te referís a modelos para RC no, porque mis modelos son estáticos porque jamás podrían volar por el peso en relación a la escala. En muchos de mis modelos en 1/24 y 1/15 utilizo pequeños motores electricos escondidos dentro del dummy para accionar las hélices. Lo que me interesa es que el motor luzca real. Electrificar los modelos no me parece importante, pero a muchos clientes les gusta la opción.
So di ripetermi, ma sei un grande Artista.👏👏👏 CHAPEAU!
Molte grazie, Enrico!
@zate1982
Muchas gracias!
simplemente increible e inigualable ud, es un iluminado x Dios
Gracias por tus muy amables palabras, Felice.
Hey, you are owned by a lovely cat who obviously bears your madness.. :) Incredible metal models by the way, they are all museum pieces, by far the best I've seen so far in my 58 years of life, well done dude..
My beautiful Mishi died in 2007 from a brain tumor when I was building the OS2U Kingfisher; in the corresponding video I uploaded his last photo sleeping on the drawings. I also dedicated a tribute to him on my website (miscellaneous). He was my fellow modeler.
@@rojasbazan Sorry to hear that, I lost my comrade tomcat Piko 2010, he was ten years old and killed by a dog owned by a racist idiot neighbour, I was gutted, still cry for him, eight years later another lovely tomcat moved in, he's been working hard to heal me, I loved him too..
@@GiantRock62 Uh, dear friend, the world is full of racists. We have lived in four different countries and we have vast experience in that. I feel sorry for your comrade Piko too. Cats are cosmic beings. Only those of us who have a passion for these beautiful creatures understand this. Stay safe.
Bravo.
Gracias!
Speechless ....
Hello Jan, thank you again for watching all my videos.
@@rojasbazan That's a pleasure !! I like planes plastic scale models, but i'm very far away from yours !!
Inspiring. The SBD is my favorite aircraft :) Are those markings from the Lexington's group?
enjoyed the video
Thank you, sir. I'm glad that you enjoyed the video.
could you do tutorials on how do some of this amazing stuff and techniques you use?
SpiritCrusher Yes, Sir, I am working on my first DVD tutorial. Thank you for watching.
Hello Kasper, they are static model airplanes, all metal...too heavy to fly!!!
Hi Scott, thank you for your kind words.
Wonderful model! I am sure there is a ready market in the UK with collectors wanting to buy works of art such as these. I recall reading somewhere that you were training people to build copies of these models - is that happening yet?
Hi, these super detailed models are too heavy to fly. If you have any questions, please use my website email address.
Awesome...jaw on floor. How do you fit these builds into one lifetime? You must be a thousand years old.:)
Zajebisty!: D
Very cool. Is every part made by you? I am under impression.
Greetings from Poland
Espectacular. No existe otro término
Gracias Marcelo. Este es otro de mis viejos videos que fueron grabados con la tecnología de la época (si bien el video fue subido en 2009, el modelo es de 2004). Considerando que no fueron filmados en HD, voy a subir una serie de nuevos videos para mostrarlos a través de las mejores fotografías que me han quedado. Los videos serán sobre este Dauntless y sobre el B-17, Bf109, Bf110, Fw190, B-25, P-40 y alguno más.
@@rojasbazan no importa lo antiguo que sean, es una maravilla lo que hace. Soy un fanático de la aviación y realicé muchas maquetas. Lo que usted hace, es otro nivel, y un placer enorme de ver. Quería saber donde se expone su trabajo. Ver sus videos me emociona tanto como la oportunidad en que visité la exposición de Oshkosh
If I shank myself to the scale of these beautiful historic aircraft would you allow me to fly them . Thank you . My favorite is the B-17 Flying Fortress . Thank you .
If you can shrink in size, I'll let you in. Thank you for your comments, Paul.
Nah these are just photos of the real thing (outstanding modeling skills)
Thank you, Ian. In a few days I will upload a new HD video on my new model, a Ju 87 B1 Stuka in 1:16 scale with lots of details.
@tribeq1
Haha, still think build more!
TEACH ME HOW TO BUILD THESE!
leonardo da vinci of the 21st century
Definitely a Hat trick.
Thank you, Thomas.
Right, duh. Two stripes on the tail, Enterprise. One stripe, Lexington. Awesome, the Big E rules.
Luis, ahora estoy construyendo un A6M2 Zero (estoy filmando partes de su construcción para el DVD tutorial), pero creo que será mi último modelo en escala 1/15 por un tiempo. A partir del próximo año voy a dedicarme a construir una serie de Fw190 (versiones con BMW y Jumo) en escala 1/24. Saludos cordiales.
I have been assemblying plastic models for many years, what you do is amazing. I will like to learn your technique, how can i contact You?
Gustavo, estoy preparando material para publicar un libro con mis técnicas. Eso puede llevar tiempo porque estoy en pleno proceso de terminar un Ju87 y comenzar otro modelo. El libro está listo en una tercera parte, Espero poder terminarlo este próximo año. Cuando esté disponible lo voy a anunciar a través de youtube y mi sitio web. Saludos.
Guillermo, te conocí en el Museo Nacional de Aeronáutica en Aeroparque 1975 , charlamos 30´ sobre tus técnicas . Estabas construyendo un BAC Camberra el cual creo haberlo visto en el video sobre tu modelos exhibidos en museos ....me interesa hacerte una consulta ya que estoy construyendo un IA 58 Pucará . Podrias pasarme un correo electrónico? Seré breve. Muchas gracias
mi correo está en mi sitio web en "contact" (no quiero subirlo acá). Hasta luego.
Muy honrado por tu rápida respuesta .
Me fijo en tu sitio web.
😮😮😮😮😮😮
Thank you for watching, sir.
Alright , Tell the truth , You shrunk all the TBY ' s . Of Flight 19 down to 1/15 Scale . And have them in a create some were . Come on . . . you can tell us .
+mark bravo
it is a secret. Thank you for watching my videos, Mark.
OMG
Thanks for watching my videos, sir.
Oh, that is too much, ha,ha.
