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.

[@rojasbazan]

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

I have worked on “many” aircraft models, read hundreds of airplane books, looked at tens of thousands of aircraft photos, have flown professionally for almost 32 years and this man is “it”….he is THE standard by which all model aircraft building is compared against. Indeed, anything less than his level of care and perfection is about 10 levels below “mediocre”…..that’s where the rest of us are. I am in complete awe of your skill, Sir. You humble and inspire model builders around the world and simultaneously honor the men who built, worked on and flew the mighty B-24. WELL DONE!

[@rojasbazan]

Sir, I really appreciate your words. There are many people in the modeling world who have written to me and even asked me for advice in private, but they don't dare to express themselves publicly. We know why; I have many anecdotes about it. So I thank you for expressing your thoughts.

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!!!!

[@rojasbazan]

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.

[@nathanbond8165]

@@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

[@rojasbazan]

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.

[@PetrosArgy]

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.

[@rojasbazan]

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.

[@PetrosArgy]

@@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 :)

[@studiogconceptions]

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.

[@rojasbazan]

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.

It's such a shame your creations aren't more widely known, including this video that deserves much more Likes at this moment.

[@rojasbazan]

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

[@Onlygloo]

@@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.

[@rojasbazan]

@@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.

[@rojasbazan]

@@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.

[@Onlygloo]

@@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 😉

[@SVanHutten]

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.

Incredible! Attention to detail, the precision, and the research.... Your work is beyond words. Even knowing this is a "model", I felt I could climb up in to the beast and go to work! I tip my hat Sir! I have a special place for the B-24. My Uncle (my Dad's brother) was a bombardier on one. It was pretty badly shot up and was lost in the Owen Stanley Mountains of New Guinea. The plane was found about 9 years ago and the U.S. recovery team went out to the wreck. There were no remains or parachutes in the aircraft, and All sensitive equipment was smashed/destroyed. They did bail out. However, ..... This area of New Guinea is home to the headhunters. The Allies and the Japanese knew that if the crash or the jungle didn't get you, the Headhunters would and did. The Recovery Team was able to get to many of the wrecks and usually found no remains or incomplete remains. We were grateful for the news, as my Uncle and the entire Crew, went from MIA-Presumed Dead to Lost in Action. We, and many other families, were finally able to close that chapter. To ALL those Men are still on the mission🙏

John, as you say, "All those men are still on the mission." This model was commissioned as a tribute to all the crews that served in the B-24s. Thank you for your kind comment.

[@rojasbazan]

@@darronhedges5873 you tell them, yes, I'm insane, but I'm going to do it.

[@dutu000]

Amazing!!! Show us how you build these models, that would be awesome! How you work with the metal sheet.. what techniques you use

[@rojasbazan]

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

[@dutu000]

@@rojasbazan Thanks! I will!! :) When do you think that will be?

[@jeffbergstrom]

Beautiful model. My uncle flew one of these in WWII. He would have loved this.

[@rojasbazan]

You know, Jeff, that's the idea of the 467th Group Association, to remember and honor the people who flew these Liberators through this memorial-model.Your uncle was one of those brave men, and I really appreciate you remembering him through my work.

[@ClearedHot470]

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!

[@rojasbazan]

Thank you, sir.

[@andreaswehrmann365]

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. 😮

[@rojasbazan]

Thank you su much for the message, Andreas.

[@LBG-cf8gu]

Holy Shyte! How is that even possible? Great stuff!

[@rojasbazan]

A lot of years of practice, sir. Watch all my videos chronologically and you will understand.

[@Oyviktu]

Im kinda austistic and I've been thinking in stuff like this before been a teen., I'm 28 now and totally shocked by this channel, first video and I'm totally subscribed! Thanks a lot. Also silent video, loved it!

[@rojasbazan]

I thank you for the comment, especially since you are a young fella.Hopefully these videos give you some inspiration when working on your models.

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 ...

[@rojasbazan]

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.

[@cyprusgrump]

Breathtakingly beautiful!

[@rojasbazan]

Thank you so much, sir.

[@BonnKialStevens]

Another brilliant masterpiece that proves you are the best in the world.

[@rojasbazan]

Thank you for the kind comment and your support, Bonn!

[@lilstarfishdude]

😮😍🤩 I would LOVE to see how you create just one of the details, to hear your thinking when it comes to materials and how to best achieve the most realistic look. This is probably the best scratch built metal model I've ever seen.

[@rojasbazan]

Sir, when I complete the B-24, I'll work exclusively on my "Tutorial Kit", a combo of DVD, booklet, and aluminum parts.

[@lilstarfishdude]

@@rojasbazan What a brilliant idea, thank you Sir for the excellent news!
