Lotus 79 Black Beauty 1/20 Hasegawa - Car Model

[@rizdalegend]

My son and I built a plane model the other day in 2 hours, lost all the propellers and was painted all blue; still the best time ever. Wouldn't have done it without your inspiration. Thanks!

[@thatmaverickguy859]

Keep your son on that path and he'll grow up to be a awesome inventor and artist

[@onionhead5780]

@@thatmaverickguy859 I agree. I used to build models as a child and enjoyed the detailed hand work. I eventually become a gunsmith. Retired now but I always looked forward to going to work and loved my job. My brothers used to say they hated their jobs so I felt very fortunate.

[@idaemonplasmo]

I am glad that you try models and had a good time. ❤

[@bohun28]

I remember getting into modeling when I was a kid, with my Dad. I still have the first model we made...a waterline Kriegsmarine Graf Spee. It's in terrible shape but a lovely memory.

[@fuzzy5610]

Great stuff 👍. 💯 your son will hold that memory for ever!

[@bandwagon240]

For a military vehicles builder, you're certainly very talented with car models. A lot of armor/plane guys will build the entire model and spend hours painting parts in place instead of seperately as intended. Two totally different styles and you've nailed them both.

[@lancemurdoc6744]

David spoke the magic words again "some minor modifications"...so we know, he create a masterpiece...again.

[@stevie65able]

I always have a good chuckle when he says that!

[@douglasalan5783]

Yes, I love his gift for understatement

[@stuffing09]

Honestly I feel like this one was relatively minor compared to his other models

[@rowluxillusion5235]

My father took me to Brands Hatch that year, I remember this car so clearly, it was my second favourite after the Surtees Ford driven by Vittorio Brambilla who was my father's favourite driver, and who I am named after. F1 racing then was so much more exciting, and the noise was incredible.

[@breakshot7451]

the cars from this era are just beautiful. this and the john player special design are just great

[@rowluxillusion5235]

@@breakshot7451 oh yes and who can forget the Tyrrell P34, I never saw it race in person, but saw it on display, in the 80s, such a cool car

[@douglasalan5783]

I love it when David mentions “minor improvements.”

[@loupiscanis9449]

Thank you , David . 🐺

[@tpaul802]

I don't care about the genre of models you build. I always get excited when you post a video. Thank you

[@127TROOP]

Oh man, those brake discs...genius.....once again you knock the ball clear out of the park. A stunning piece......

[@WadeWeigle]

Thanks for sharing another kit build. Those braided wire tubes are always out of stock. Super great detail pieces.

[@jacobakana5649]

I love that you left the body pieces removable. It’s great to see the sleek, glossy complete car as well as the super-detailed lower layers!

[@mr54mems22]

I’ve been watching your content for like 5 years and it made we want to get into models and painting you genuinely made my childhood

[@ShooterEXE]

This probably the best model I've ever seen

[@randytaylor1258]

And it's only 1:20 scale..

[@roneckler9937]

Building the model is the easy part, but I have to say. A model isn't a model unless you can paint and understand how to use paints properly. Your models are extraordinary sir. Thank you.

[@mirrorblue100]

What a beauty! Thanks for taking us along for the ride.

[@GeorgeSundancermusic]

"Minor" improvements.... It's always amazing to see you at work, David.

[@SeasparrowDD979]

I wouldn't be one bit surprised if that actually started up and drove away..... Excellent work!!

[@muchasgracias6976]

David this is surely as beautiful as the real car. Bravo!

[@parascalemodels]

The foil over the X-Acto trick. Priceless. Always pick up a tidbit here and there from you. Thanks for sharing your work with us again. Fine specimen.

[@beymastereagle]

This is such a beautiful model. I hope to see more F1 models in the future!

[@matk4731]

Simply beautifully presented. A true master craftsmen. Thanks for sharing 👍🏻👍🏻🙃🙃

[@Einherjar_17]

What memories! Mario Andretti's car, that car was the forerunner of ground effect, I still remember it on the tracks, when Formula 1 was a real competition and not the dirty monetary circus that it has become now, a shame ..., excellent model and construction work as always, greetings from southern Argentina.

[@timburnette5914]

Nobody and I mean nobody can build a model like you. No one compares. Not even close! Great job David

[@Yves95128]

@@sjefnuijten3298 That's what I was thinking, but it's a different approach to modeling, to my point of view. His models are real jewels.

[@connorstone]

You should check out Night Shift, his models are amazing

Hello PLASMO - plastic models, That was "FREAK'n AWESOME!!" I watch this video 2 times, such AMAZING Details! Always a pleasure to watch your super cool and fun video builds. Thank you so much for sharing your Hobby with us. You're my FAVORITE Builder and Channel! Liked and Shared as always. Peace 😎✌👍Take care and Be well! 👌

[@idaemonplasmo]

Thanks. I enjoyed the kit. The model still has a lot of mistakes because it is my third formula one model, but I am glad you like it. The next video will be after the holidays, so thanks for your patience. 😘

[@thomaschristopherwhite9043]

I love that over simplification of the amazing things you do in the intro. Reminds me old top gear opens

[@Sacrilege7294]

You should definitely focus more on F1, trucks and airplanes. Your strength with planes and this kind of kits is amazing.

[@doublenickelbob]

David, you are the Man when it comes to modeling. Keep these great videos coming and I'll keep watching.

[@rafaelj.benero4880]

Beautiful work David! Thank you for the inspiration!...

[@willy_rolly]

Absolutely incredible work, as always! I love the braided hoses and anodized connectors.

[@fredtedstedman]

one of the most beautiful F1 cars ever .

[@tompson3444]

Já jako papírový modelář moc nerozumím plastikovým modelům ale tohle vypadá neskutečně. Super práce 👍🏻

[@Turb0button]

as an auto modeler primarily I’m glad to see you do another car, especially a beautiful formula one kit! always a pleasure to see you elevating these classic kits 👏👏👏 well done

[@sandwitch1613]

It's very interesting to see people get into model building from these videos, not the other way around

[@SRFriso94]

No joke, after you asked for model suggestions in your B-29 video, even though I didn't comment it, I was hoping you'd do a Formula 1 car or something. This happens to be one of my favorites, so very happy to see this. If you're looking for suggestions again, maybe a modern F1 car on the same scale? Would show how massive the cars have become over the years. This Lotus is quite a petite car, but the modern ones are so big that no team has even come close to the minimum weight limit rule. Some have even resorted to stripping off paint, they're so desperate for weight savings.

[@ianmorris7485]

Stunning model of a classic, unforgettable F1 car

[@Turb0button]

the pattern on the heat shield was genius! captures some of my favorite things about modeling- creativity and problem solving

[@ronnieomlettes1369]

Superb. I can't think of any other words.

[@carlhuxford7067]

Perfection as always. And as always minor modifications is an understatement

[@freddyt9140]

Fantastic build!!! 👏

[@powderriver2424]

That was the most beautiful gran prix cars, I had a HO scale slot car and built the Tamiya model in the early 80’s very nice to see that car is still a relevant model today.

[@bombie1138]

new sub here,. I have no idea what algo sent me here,but I'm glad it happened,. nice work,its all in the details. I have a few rare kits,that I wouldn't give up,except to you.

[@ModelingInMotion]

Hi David, your channel is the first one which trully inspired me to follow and do this hobby. 1 year later I've built my 5th scale model, and even started making KZbin videos out of it, and realised is a hobby for life. Keep up the good work and keep inspiring people!

[@paulkilner7239]

Another superb build. Imaginative presentation. Gets better each time. Very well done, David.

[@christosswc]

Absolutely stunning. One comment I want to make is I see everyone scrubbing the tires to make them look rougher. Brand new slicks are very smooth and very shiny, so there's nothing wrong with leaving them as is. If the final model is super clean and super polished it would make sense for it to be on brand new slicks.

[@aserta]

FIY the wires used for WIFI transmission from the antennas to the WIFI module inside laptops have that braided texture. Excellent for making small details.

[@LogicWheels]

Good tip!

[@ScottKenny1978]

Thanks for the tip, I have a dead laptop I can raid for part!

My suggestion for future: Truck. Maybe boring theme, but i believe you could make it awesome with these details

[@AaronHahnStudios]

YES! A SCANIA. They are a sexy Truck & the engine details are reasonable.

[@Sacrilege7294]

Trucks are not boring at all. In fact, you can go wild with weathering or just not at all. Rally cars are also a great suggestion for PLASMO.

[@beacon_models]

Such beautiful touches with the extra parts, and the polish on the bodywork is outstanding! Another excellent build!

[@LogicWheels]

Another great model! For the fuel lines, to make these even more realistic I use to push some mixed yellow / orange clear varnish trough them with a hypodermic needle. It gives a really nice impression of fuel in the lines. Keep up the great work David, really enjoying to watch your video's.
