This isn't a model aircraft, it's a piece of fine Art
Thank you, sir.
no doubt
Wow, I am absolutely blown away by this man’s work, the details are unbelievable with the scale he was working too. Sir you have payed tribute to the crew & the plane with this piece of art. 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
this is the type of stuff i want in my house ngl.....very, very good work here sir cant wait for more (hopefully)
Considering this is just one of your creations,you are an absolute one of a kind modelling genius.👍
Thank you so much, Robert.
Genius ISINT even the WORD for HIM ... INCREDIBLE is more like it ! : ))
15 minutes ago, I was proud of the 1/48 B-24J I’m currently building from the old monogram kit. After watching this video, I kinda want to toss mine in the trash and light it on fire.
What you’ve put together here is incredible!
Sir, don't throw away your model! Try to enjoy the art of modeling in the most natural way possible, without pressure or comparisons. Being a modeler in these turbulent times, is a blessing. Thanks for watching.
If I was a billionare, I would commission you to make a Lancaster Bomber. Amazing work and insane attention to detail. I think that you must be the best aircraft modelmaker in the world.
Thank you, Ned. During the 1980s I built several models in smaller scales of 1:24, 1:32, and 1:40, including the Handley Page Halifax. Maybe one day I can build a Lancaster. In any case, I am no longer going to work on large scales of 1:15 or 1:20 because each model takes me two to three years. It is too much for a single model and the prices are very expensive
@@rojasbazan I was going to ask how long such projects take. I noticed your website is no longer active, and I was afraid you had stopped your craft. If knew a filmmaker, I think a documentary about your work would be fascinating. Really, your work is breathtaking.
@@ChrisGurin My website is active. Google grojasbazan or rojas bazan and there it is! It's a bit messy and needs to be fixed, but it's 90% working. I will do an update when I complete the B-24.
In the world ? Do not insult him . In the whole galaxy in fact !
Even if I were to live 5 life times, I'd never ever be as good as this guy - simply astounding amount of detail and skill. This chap is one in several million at the very least !
Words cannot describe the appreciation, admiration and respect we have for your super-human model making skills and superior attention to detail! Thanks for sharing!
Many thanks you for your kind message, Kobus!
As a fellow model builder that builds large-scale cutaway models-now I know what the apostles must have felt like to sit at the feet of Jesus, I am completely Thunderstruck by your skill, patience and talent and also I am vibrating with anticipation to learn your secrets... you have to share your knowledge with the rest of us this cannot die with you!!! Either with DVDs, streaming, instructional videos, a book-I don't care how but you need to share this with the world!!!!
Thanks for the comment, Nathan. As I have already told many people, when I complete the B-24, I'll dedicate myself exclusively to finishing the "tutorial kit" project before starting to work on another model. My "tutorial kit" will be a combination of DVD, booklet, and some aluminum parts (ribs, stringers, spars, panels, covers, etc.) to teach my basic techniques. For many years my project and great desire is to make several videos and a book showing all my techniques and tips, but due to the construction of my models I can never dedicate the necessary time to it. That is why the "tutorial combo" will be ideal for many modelers who want to have early access to this informative material without having to wait for more years until I have enough time to present a more complete and in-depth tutorial.
@@rojasbazan I eagerly await will buy your tutorial the minute it is available I'm so inspired by your work I build World War 1 cutaway models 1/16 and larger scale models I'm going to send you some pictures of my current project a nieuport 28 skin off model that I'm working on in 1/16 scale it's a kitbashed kit it's not entirely scratch-built but many of the parts I have scratch-built from various materials including metal, plastic, and wood I've been working on this model for almost 2 years and I know how much patience and how intense is to scratch build parts again I'm so humbled and impressed by your talent
ABSOLUTELY MAGNIFICENT!!!
Another masterpiece from a master! Thank you for sharing sir!
I'm speechless...
Thank you for your support, Tyler!
As a boy I used to glue the plastic airplane models together, I have never seen such incredible close up detail out of the scratch built community before, Just Awesome work!!!
Thank you, sir. The scratch built community is not as popular as plastic modeling, but if you have the possibility to go to an exhibition of engineering models, you will be amazed.
Not only is the modeling work outstanding, the photography - especially your lighting inside the aircraft- is spot on. Excellent work!
Thank you, Bob.
Absolutely amazing level of craftsmanship . I have looked at your website many times but when I see a new piece you are creating it still amazes me that a human has this type of ability , either that or you have Keebler Elves being held and forced to build these.
The Keebler Magic? 😂. Thank you for the nice message, Chris.
The B-24 is by far my most favorite airplane. Seeing the way how you build one in 1/20 from scratch, cannot find the good words for it which represent the appreciation I feel for your work. Absolutely a stunning masterpiece. My deep respect for your craftsmanship. Regards Martin
Martin, thank you very much for your kind words. Regarding my work, perhaps the most "silent" part is not the artisan work itself, but the archaeological research work.
Your work is beyond words! This might be the single greatest model I've seen in my almost 40 yrs of modeling.
Thank you for the nice comment, Bryan.
I thought I could build models. This is so far beyond anything I've ever done, I cannot even approach close. The talent, patience and passion for this kind of craftsmanship is uniquely rare. My respect to you sir. 🍻
Sir, thanks a lot for watching the video and the kind comment.
You deserve to be on the Guinness book of World Records for "Finest aircraft modeling Master" 🏆
Thank you for your kind words, Hervey.
Your work is truly exceptional. I offer you my utmost respect and admiration.
Thank you for your support, Istvan.
Ah, the master has finished another work of art. Glad to see you're still around and making the best models in the world!
Nikolai, that was really thoughtful of you! And thank you for your support!
Your level of craftsmanship and detail is absolutely amazing. I can't understand how your level of skill is even possible. It goes beyond just having the patience required. I have scratch built some scale model planes, carved violins, frame off restored classic cars, participated in woodworking and various other crafty hobbies so I have an appreciation for craftsmanship and patience. I am completely impressed with your work.
Thank you for the kind and interesting comment, sir. You are a person who knows how to "create" using your own hands, and that makes your opinion very valuable to me. When I was a child my father gave me plastic kits but he was always the one who assembled them. That made me start building my own cardboard models. Then I switched to wood and finally to metal.
Por imposible que pudiera parecer este proyecto supera a los anteriores.
Mi reconocimiento a su maestría y saludos desde España.
Muchas gracias por ver mis videos, amigo.
Despite knowing a few of your previous models, which are outstanding, this one is absolutely insane. The attention to manufacturing detail, plus the painting and weathering makes one wonder if you have made a 1:20 scale airplane model or some coins and a ruler models in 20:1 scale. Everything is superb, but the tail assembly is unbelievable: very hard to tell apart from the real deal without some scale reference!
Thank you for taking the additional time and effort of making this video (great lighting and camera work, btw) and sharing it. All the best and greetings from your country of birth.
Dear friend, thank you a lot for your special words; that was really thoughtful of you. You know this is all the effort of a lifetime. I want to keep this very special message because it is a balm for the soul. Are you living in Argentina? Greetings from Michigan.
There are no words to describe how wonderful this build is!!!! Mind blowing model !!!! Modeling and metal craftsmanship of the highest order!!!!!
Thank you very much for the kind comment sir.
Absolutely wonderful. I can only imagine the thousands of hours you have put into this masterpiece. Every new detail you find leads to 30 other new ones to create, and the work you put into them is brilliant.Scratch building at this level takes unbelievable fortitude and motivation, and a deep understanding of when to decide something is "good enough," something users of photo-etch probably don't understand.
Thank you very much sir. Your message is one of those that are very important to me, so I will keep it in a folder along with other similar ones. It shows me that there are still people who understand what I've been trying to prove for decades, which is that within the field of scale modeling (and other fields, too), having a lot of money to buy an arsenal of high-tech tools to show off in the studio and impress other modellers, it does not mean at all that the person could build better models or achieve some "excellence" over someone who does not have the same means.
@@rojasbazan Absolutely. I did some of my best work, the stuff that made it into a magazine, with an assortment of secondhand tools, repurposed odds and ends, a 230V exhaust fan motor for mixing paint and holding precision drill bits, and imagination. That's all we really need. Oh, and patience :)
Holy Cow! Just wonderful. So glad you came out with another one.
Thank you for your support, sir!
This gives me inspiration and anxiety at the same time. Any single piece is so detailed and meticulously made, it just boggles , my mind.
Wow, just wow!
Sir, I appreciate you sharing your thoughts.
If I had a tenth of your talent I would feel accomplished, truly a master of your chosen path!
Wow!
Thank you for your kind message, Russell.
Outstanding as always,cant wait for next part.Scratchbuilding not same as building from scratch!
Thank you for the nice comment, Darron. And thank you also for watching all my videos.
When they say im insane trying to build a \35 Panther G Travel locking chain for gun out of 56 tiny brass plates....i show them your work and say 'Thats why!'
@@darronhedges5873 you tell them, yes, I'm insane, but I'm going to do it.
That already crosses the threshold from model making to art. A wonderful, incredible work ... my absolute respect !!
Y really appreciate your comment, sir.
As with all your builds, with no exceptions, I am simply speechless.
Thank you for the kind words, Andrew.
I wonder how this is even humanly possible ! I'd spend days just watching you performing that witchcraft ; no doubt this is something totally mesmerizing. I'd even pay to watch videos of you creating these wonders ; you're what the Japanese call a living treasure ! It's such a shame your creations aren't more widely known, including this video that deserves much more Likes at this moment.
Thank you very much for your comment, David. Before settling in the USA, I had built 104 airplane models in different scales (mainly 1:40) for two museums in Argentina. Then I settled in Spain and spent two years selling models to Executive Display Models in London and Heritage Aviation Art, in Seattle.
When I settled in the USA in 1993, my work was already known mainly by collectors. In the fall of 1995 Cigar Aficionado magazine (general interest) published a four page article about my work and my story. "Although Rojas Bazan was not widely known (in the USA), he had a small following of collectors in this country, and was known to people in the esoteric world of expensive, one-off models. One who knew of RB's work is GK, who owns Fine Art Model".
I worked exclusively for FAM for 14 years, building prototypes that were later copied in limited editions. Then the internet appeared, and then the algorithms, that only seek to position whoever gives the most profit (if I added a plastic kit brand in the titles of my videos, millions would enter!).
My field is model engineering, not the plastic models world; although they have things in common, they are different disciplines.
Visit this link to learn more (my website needs to be fixed because there are scattered titles and some broken links, but it works 90%). Thank you for your support, David.
www.rojasbazan.com/press/international-press/index.html
@@rojasbazan I hope I didn't seem disrespectful to you ; I especially wanted to underline the fact that, precisely among the plastic model makers, your work seems too little known. When I mentioned your name in a comment on Plasmo's channel, no one seemed to have seen your videos, which I find unfortunate. As you point out, the algorithm gives little value to this type of content. Anyway, thx for the additional info you provided.
@@Onlygloo David, your comment did not offend me, quite the opposite, I really liked it and I thank you because you have realized that something strange is happening. I only try to express (in a language that is not mine) something that many people know what it is about for years.
@@Onlygloo I was watching that channel you mention. It is one of many similar sites around the world, from Argentina to Poland, from Italy to Canada. Always the same; the same kits, the same accessories, the same techniques, the same tutorials and the same obsession with paint and weathering. The only difference is that some gurus use better technology to display their models in the media.
If you go to a model engineering exhibit, you'll see another type of modeling, something absolutely different. No kits there; pure craftsmanship. The two are different worlds.
@@rojasbazan Obviously English isn't mine either but I think you and I (and many others) both speak the same language when it comes to the love of things made with passion and a nack for details through research and craftmanship. The main difference being you are clearly way more fluent than I'll ever be 😉
Speechless!! Gorgeous. You, sir, are the most skilled metal crafter I have ever seen!
Joe, I'm glad that you enjoyed the video. And I appreciate the kind words.
This project really shows the difference between a person who is a master model builder and a person who thinks they are, but are only a kit assembler. This video should be posted on all of the model building forums, to humble the "experten".
Thanks for the nice message, Joe. Is a delicate topic; my work in metal and scratch does not promote any brand of plastic kit, accessories, paint or tools. If I did, my channel would have millions of views.
I have my small group of followers who understand what this is about. Now you are one of them.

My father was in the SAAF and was a Bombardier on a B-24 I still have his flight log book , fantastic piece of art well done.
This model is built not only to honor the 467th, but for all the crews that served aboard the B-24s, like your beloved father.
@@rojasbazan Thank you
This build deserves a presidential medal of freedom. I'm completely in awe at the painstaking attention to detail and the number of hours it must have taken to create this.
Thank you for the kind comment, sir. I have been working for two years to build this fuselage, but half of that time was spent on archaeological research.
This is incredible! 😄What attention to detail. I can hardly wait to see the finished plane!! Well Done Sir!🫡👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
Thank you very much for the kind comment sir.
No words. Just, wow.
So cool that you are still going strong with these projects. Thank you for documenting the process for us to see!
Thanks very much, sir. When I finish the B-24 I'm going to stop a bit and dedicate myself to finishing and editing my first "tutorial kit", a combo of DVD, booklet and aluminum parts. After that, I will go back to my "beginnings", that is, I'll build models in small scales to lower the construction time and the prices.
It is an Honour to be able to see your craftsmanship and stunning work up close..... Senor Guillermo, You have an amazing Talent.... And it is wonderful that you share with us... Bless you :-)))
Sir, thank you very much for your kind message. It is a pleasure to share my work with people with a lot of sensitivity.
@@rojasbazan I could watch you working all day..... Craftsmen are a rare thing these days..... Thank you once again... :-))
I don't think I've ever seen a model like this before. The level of detail is ... I cant even find the right word to describe it. 😮
Thank you su much for the message, Andreas.
This level of craftsmanship and detailing is insane! seriously mindblown here 😯
Thank you, sir.
Phenomenal, just absolutely phenomenal. Thank you for sharing with us.
Glad you enjoyed it, sir.
Exceptional work, remarkable precision, amazing detail, bravo sir.👏
Thank you very much, Thierry.
Наконец-то я дождался. Спустя столько времени...
Vitaly, yes, at last! thank you.
Amazing!!! Show us how you build these models, that would be awesome! How you work with the metal sheet.. what techniques you use
Thanks, Ovidiu. My "tutorial kit" (combo DVD+instruction book+hardware), will be ready for the public once I finish my work on the B-24. If you want information on this matter, please write to my private email, which you will find on my website >contact. www.rojasbazan.com
@@rojasbazan Thanks! I will!! :) When do you think that will be?
I imagine there are maybe a handful of model craftsman in the world that are as talented & skilled as you are, sir! I have the greatest admiration & appreciation for you & your fine efforts in creating scale masterworks in miniature form. I hope you enjoy your work & continue to produce these finest of models!
Thank you for the nice comment, sir.
As soon as I win the lottery I will commission a Short Sunderland! And insist on video of the entire build, I could watch you work for hours! You sir are the absolute pinnacle of model making, genius doesn't come close
Steven, thank you for the kind words. I don't know if I'll ever be able to build a Sunderland, but I want you to win the lottery.
Yet again, Exquisite workmanship!!! Guillermo is amazing!!!
I greatly appreciate your kind words, Lee.
Probably one of the finest scratch builders I have seen, makes my models look like toys
Thank you, sir.
I never get tired of watching these videos. A true master craftsman.
Thank you for your support, sir.
It's just so damned beautiful...staggering detail. Wonderful!
Thank you, John!
Wow, thank you for posting another beautiful hand made wonder, your craftmanship is exemplary. I hope you are well and happy modelling.
Thank you for your support, David.
Your are a incredibly talented person. True artist. Plus keeping the history alive of theses old aircraft is a great show of respect to the people who originally built, flew, and serviced these planes. Keep up the inspiring work!
Thank you so much for the kind words, sir.
Oh My Lord! What a fabulous video to watch! Your skill and attention to detail…….. Thank you for posting. Love and respect from Bunbury West Oz. Lost for words.
Thank you for your kind words. Cheers, sir.
This is utterly incredible. I am gobsmacked by the overwhelming attention to detail. It is as if Guillermo had access to a shrinking device, aimed it at the 1:1 aircraft and pressed a switch. Just stunning.
Ken, thank you very much for the kind words and the way you express them. Guillermo.
Well, I am impressed. The skill, research, and patience, required to make this model is unbelievable. Great work, sir!
Glad you like it, sir. Thank you for watching.
No words are enough to express the craftsmanship just seen. Absolutely amazing
Thank you, sir.
just amazing level of detail in all of your builds.
Thank you, Tom!
“Cuando Dios cree un cielo nuevo y una tierra nueva, Dios te dará un trabajo….”
¿Recuerdas esta frase de un admirador de tus obras de arte?
Si no te conociera, diría que venís de otro planeta!!!
El mejor modelista del mundo.
El Nº1.
Te admiro Guille!!!
Fer, recuerdo esa frase sobre todo porque me la recordás vos ❤️❤️❤️
Michelangelo is venerated and will be for the rest of human history. But this, this is a greater work of art than anything he slapped on a church ceiling or chipped out of rock. I'm a maker too. I've designed and scratch built things, so I absolutely recognise and appreciate the effort that goes into a build like this. It's the little details that would by-in-large go unnoticed by the majority. The tiny stencilled writing. The tiny brackets holding a hose. The accurate runs of rivets. Those things are noticed and appreciated. Audermars Piguet would be charging 50k for this level of craft. This build is no less valuable. Thank you for making me realise I've got some miles to tread before I can be truly satisfied with my own work.
Sir, I thank you very much! You are putting into words what I always tried to demonstrate in my models. Correctly detailing a model that represents a historical machine does not mean filling it with wires and small pieces of sui generis shape without meaning or proportion. That requires investing a lot of time in research and also understanding what "catches our eye". A good aeronautical mechanics manual from the 30s or 40s costs almost the same as a plastic modeling magazine, and what you learn is hundreds of times more useful. In your case, obviously you realize the same thing, and you also work from scratch, which leads you to analyze, investigate on your own and build without following the current fashion in modeling, which makes thousands of models around the world look almost identical because the modelers apply the same "trending techniques". Thank you for the comment!
The level of detail and accuracy just blows my mind! I work with regular plastic models and I find them challenging. But this is just a whole different ballgame. What a talent you have!
Thank you, sir.
Stunning work, as per usual!! So wonderful to see a new model! This is so typical of your marvelous work!! Still the greatest modeler of them ALL!
Doug, thank you for watching my videos and your support. I really appreciate it.
Greetings from Canada. It is a great day to see more of your superb work. Your research, planning, fabrication and assembly, is quite frankly, astonishing. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you very much sir. I see that you understand very well what this work is about. I really appreciate your comment.
I worked on B-1b Lancers for 10 years before I was medically sent packing. If I wasn’t enlisted, or had other sources of income I would without a doubt hire you after watching this video. If I did much social media I would pass your work on to my other coworkers. If I can, maybe they can hire you for a retirement gift for themselves. Beautiful work, well done sir.
Sir, I appreciate you sharing your thoughts and I appreciate you wanting to recommend my work. Anyway, after finishing the B-24- I'm going to dedicate myself to editing and selling a Tutorial Kit (DVD combo, booklet and metal parts). Then I want to go back to building small-scale models like I did in my early years, in 1:24, 1:32, and 1:48 scale. That way I will be able to build some models that I never had the opportunity to build before, in less time and at lower prices (these models, like the B-24, are VERY expensive! The price is equivalent to three years of salary of a professional modeler in the USA). Thank you for your support.
Over the next few yrs I'll be building a 1/72 scale Bismarck in this exact fashion. Incredibly well done. In fact i doubt there's anything even close to this perfection.
Thanks for watching, sir. I hope you can carry out your project.
Soy Argentino , resido en el exterior, he descubierto su arte explorando por internet , Lo que usted hace con el metal es MAGIA ... espero poder seguir disfrutando de su arte , que ispiera que lo imposible es posible .... y algun dia poder ver una de sus obras en vivo ...
Manuel, muchas gracias por tus amables palabras. Cuando termine este modelo podré dedicarme a renovar mi viejo sitio web (que está muy desordenado) y a trabajar en un viejo proyecto postergado durante décadas; mi primer tutorial (libro o video). Saludos cordiales.
Абалдеть! Просто глазам не верю! У мужика просто золотые руки и фантастическое терпение! Потрясающая работа!!!!!!!!
thanks for watching the video, sir.
Felicitaciones Guillermo, soy Pablo y le escribo desde Carmelo Uruguay, hoy todo con impresión 3D, todos son " Modelistas ", gracias por levantar la bandera del Modelismo Genuino, sin máquinas, con metal, tijeras, pegamento y solo talento !!!
Hola Pablo, muchas gracias por tu mensaje. Sí, estoy totalmente de acuerdo. Yo tengo cada vez más respeto por esos modelistas que hacen sus modelos en papel, cartulina, madera, metal o lo que sea, pero los hacen ellos. Te cuento una anécdota que está relacionada: en el Museo Naval de Tigre no han podido encontrar quién les haga los modelos en escala 1:40 que utilizó la Armada Argentina después de Malvinas. Eso es porque dejé de construir la colección para ellos cuando me fuí del país. Ahí hay varios "gurus" del plastimodelismo, pero parece que nadie se anima a construir modelos en una escala donde no existen ni kits ni accesorios (a todo esto el museo agregó dentro de la vitrina unos modelos de plástico en escalas pequeñas , tal vez 1:32 o 1:48 y encima quitaron la placa con mi nombre. Un mamarracho total)! Saludos cordiales.
@@rojasbazan Es verdad Guillermo, con mi esposa Claudia y mi hija Ángela seguimos fielmente sus trabajos, la Felicidad de tomar unas tijeras, trabajar el metal y lograr piezas únicas como las suyas , eso tiene valor, que inventen todas las máquinas e inteligencias artificiales que quieran, así nos va como humanidad.
Nosotros seguiremos fieles a su arte y trabajo, lo demás es puro cuento, Un Respetuoso Abrazo Guillermo !!
Valió la pena esperar dos años por el video de otro proyecto que sigue desafiando la capacidad de asombro. Felicitaciones Guillermo por seguir a la vanguardia mundial, mi voto por el “The Best” del modelismo
Stevie, muchas gracias por tus palabras. Lamento no haber puesto algunos subtítulos en español, pero este video -junto con el modelo-, fue encargado por una asociación relacionada con veteranos de la US Air Force. Igualmente todo se entiende. Saludos cordiales.
I CRIED, my dad flew the D and J model. THIS is outstanding. BEYOND outstanding.
Thanks a lot, sir. This model is being built as a tribute to all the brave crews that flew the B-24s, as your beloved dad.
@@rojasbazan SHOUT out for 2nd Lt. Rudolph A Street, Copilot/Pilot, 15th AF, 376BG, 513BS, 47 Wing AN ALL OTHERS ! Including Kim Hobbs and his dad/family. This model means A LOT TO US.
I volunteer at the Collings Foundation which has and fly's a B-24 painted as Witchcraft. Shared this video with many of the people here and we are all jealous 467th Bombardment Group Assoc that will get to have this model when done.
Tom, glad to meet you. Send my greetings to the people who work or have worked with you at the Foundation.A nd thank you very much for your kind message.
Mind blowing attention to detail. You as an artist are second to none. Well done sir!
Thank you, sir, I appreciate your kind words.
This is art....modelbuilding is one thing...this is art and enginering. always admired your work many ears back.
and many of us love your work.
Thank you very much for your words and support, sir.
I can not think of any words to due justice. Favorite version of my favorite bomber. As someone who is involved in aircraft restoration the detail at this scale looks equal to the "real thing" we are working on which is a B-25.
John, thank you very much for your comment. You spend a lot of hours among vintage airplanes, so I value your opinion very much. I worked for several years at an aviation museum as a model maker, and also helping to restore real planes. The experience of spending so many hours surrounded by vintage airplanes and understanding their technology, is extremely important for a modeler. Thank you for watching.
Dare I say possibly your best work yet and that's saying something, absolutely amazing 👏 👍
Thank you very much for your kind words, Glenn.
Desde que ví la primera maqueta de este Maestro, creo que no debe existir otra persona en el planeta que pueda crear una maqueta con estos niveles de calidad y detalle. Felicitaciones.
Muchas gracias por ver mis videos y tus palabras, Antonio.
"Witchcraft", indeed.
Sir, you are an absolute wizard.
I like your comment 😄. Thank you, sir.
No hay palabras don Guillermo, el mejor modelista de la historia, saludos y respetos absolutos desde Chile
Estimado Juan, te agradezco muchísimo las palabras. Te envío mis mejores deseos. Saludos cordiales.
What can one say about this model! Other than it is absolutely stunning, the enormous amount of work and detail that's gone into it, this upload is much appreciated, thank you.
Thanks a lot, William!
I opine that what you do and achieve is so important, that you should be awarded "National Treasure" status - and be encouraged to pass on your skills to the next generation. Respect. 👍
Thanks you Ti m for the kind comments. In recent years, several modelers are trying to build in aluminum. Some ask me for help and advice and others - a bit proud - do not ask me directly but visit my website all the time to copy my photos and videos trying to find clues and ideas. Metal aircraft modeling is still a very small field and we all know each other. Some even copied "my" 1:15 scale, when the similar "popular" scale was always 1:16). In a few months I will finish the B-24 and immediately start editing my first "tutorial kit" (DVD combo, booklet and foil parts). That will encourage many talented modelers to go a step further.
@rojasbazan Thank you!! If it's offered for sale, I'd like to buy a copy of the tutorial to improve my own scratch building skills.
This is the master work of a genius. Unbelievable accuracy, well done.
Thank you, sir.
Your patience is off the charts.
If anyone asks me who the most patient person in the world is, I’m sending them to your website.
Regarding my patience, my wife will not agree!😜
They take their time in coming off the line, but when they do it's POW WOW! Metal art, science, everything.
Great, but who are "they". thanks for watching.
@@rojasbazan 'They' = the models you make. So realistic they're alive!
OMG... Your skill is on another level.
Ladies and Gentlemen I give You the greatest model builder in the World bar none, the Master has done it again.
I really appreciate the kind comment, sir. Thank you!
I thought I was good. But I am in awe of your incredible work.
Thank you for sharing this beautiful piece of art with us. It is a privilege to see a masterpiece.
Thank you so much, David; I appreciate your kind comment.
Phenomenal work sir. Thank you for sharing and I can’t wait to see what you post next. My jaw always hits my chest about 15 seconds into your videos and doesn’t come up until about 15 minutes after. Awesome!
Gary, thank you for your message and support. The next video will be Part 2 (I still have a few months of work ahead to complete this model), and then I'll work on editing my tutorial material (it will be a ¨tutorial combo" of video, brochure and aluminum parts.
Stunning….absolutely stunning. I would have sworn many of those photos were of the real plane. Fantastic job, sir.
Glad you enjoyed it, sir.
This is the most phenomenally built model I have ever seen, absolutely stunning, the patience needed must be off the scale, thank you for sharing.
Thank you for the nice comment, David.
Astonishing. Simply astonishing. It's been a couple of years since we'd stint who can do een your work. I know of no other artist who can do what you do and in the way you do... Just astonishing.
Kamil, thank you for your thoughts!
Incredible. Sorry I don't possess the vocabulary to state real words id like to say about this awesome model. Well done sir. I've never seen anything such as the work you do. I just watched the b17 video and was simply blown away. Just incredible !
Sir, thank you very much for your kind words. I built the B-17 in the late 90s for Fine Art Models. Unfortunately the owner sold it to a collector who lives in Malaysia. Since the video uploaded to CZcams is a old VHS, I want to make a new one in HD using the best photographs I have available about this model.
Patient, cost, creativity, time it's really a fine arts!
Thank you for your kind words, sir.
Superb craftsman. Incredible concentration and integrity.The very best I’ve ever seen. Truly excellent.👍🏻🇬🇧
Mike, I appreciate the kind words. Thank you.
This is insane, it’s the best model work i’ve ever seen in my life! Something to look up to
Thank you for watching the video and for the nice comment, sir.
Te sigo desde siempre, me encantan los modelos que haces, son increíbles. Un orgullo.
Gracias Manolo. Lamento no haber podido subir el video con títulos en español, pero está encargado por una asociación de ex-US Air Force. Saludos cordiales.
What a engineering and machinist feat. Glorious. This is better than 99% of the models displayed at the air and space museum in balboa park. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for the kind comment, sir. Unfortunately the owner of Fine Art Models, a company I worked for 14 years, decided to sell a collection of 15 of my original one-off models (including the big B-17G in 1:15 scale) to a collector residing in Malaysia. In this way, the possibility of having all those models gathered in the Smithsonian Air&Space Museum, the Museum of the US Air Force or another aviation museum in this country, was lost.
I don't know what to say except it is a Bazan aircraft. That says it all. Perfection in craftsmanship and always mind-blowing detail like no other
Thank you, Ralph; I really appreciate your kind comment.
My stepdad did 31 missions over Germany in 1944-45 in a B-24. Had their plane shot up a few times. Once they were able to nurse their plane back to England and crash landed. All personnel survived.
This model is a tribute to the brave B-24 crews, like your stepdad. Thanks for watching.
How in Our Magnificent Lord's Name, do You manage this fine detailed work. You have the divine inspiration of a scribe and the patients of a Saint. Beauty can be found everywhere. Well done, You are truly a Master of Your art.
Thank you for the kind comment, sir.
I have pounded thousands of rivets in full scale aircraft. But this is the most amazing thing I've ever seen.
Brianne, I'm so glad that you enjoyed the video. I respect your opinion a lot because of your experience working on real planes. Thank you.
@@rojasbazan Credit where credit is due.
have a great day.
Wow, it's impressive!
Thank you, sir.
You are truly gifted among those crafting such models, unique in detail, handwork and patience. You are much more than a master craftsman, and the genius of your work will be marvelled for generations.
Sir, I'm glad that you enjoyed the video and I appreciate the kind words. Thank you.
Un (expletive) believable. This is a masterpiece. Action does speak louder than words.
I agree about action and words. Thank you for the comment.
Just showing up every couple of years and absolutely killing it and then slinking back into the shadows of CZcams.
😂😂😂
Incredible detail! I thought I was in the real thing. A true craftsman. Congratulations on such fine work.
Glad you enjoyed it, Ed.
