Porsche 917 Gulf 24 Hours of Le Mans Fuijimi 1/24 - car model

[@idaemonplasmo]

This is the old video but reloaded. I had some problems with copyright. It is always great fun :-D

[@jakedarling7549]

What was the copyright issue? Just curious...

[@Captain-Nostromo]

Jake Darling Yeah me too,

[@captainericwinklebrown2887]

PLASMO - plastic models didn't he have a part of the race scene in it

[@JTD19881369]

PLASMO - plastic models music? or Porsche being a bitch?

[@idaemonplasmo]

I had in the video one-minute movie scene from "Le Mans 1971". Big deal :-D

[@dkstudioart]

Besides the great build and recovery I'm also impressed at how you condensed a whole build start to finish into 9 minutes of video without missing much.

[@honeydew5022]

You painted on the decals.... You sir are a savage

[@boltheadnuts2941]

Its the only way to do it

@2:40, you confess that you made a mistake. Heck, I'm was just glad to know that you're human like the rest of us! ha ha. Then you rework the model and it comes out beautiful and perfect, so I'm back to wondering if a Model God walks among us! Another stunning display of craftsmanship raised to the level of art. Bravo, sir! And thank you for sharing your work.

[@michaelwilfing844]

Thank you. The 917 is absolutely iconic. Superb build.

[@MrSteve280]

I discovered PLASMO three days ago. These videos are simply addictive. Repainted the car. I'm impressed.

[@bpp325]

Seriously? This is museum quality results. Absolutely beautiful. Thanx for sharing.👍👍

[@mightylonesome9426]

If I could collect, in my opionion, the greatest race cars of all time from each sanctioning body this car would be my top LM prototype racer. You did a wonderful job David representing one of the most important race cars of all time.

[@ceecee130x]

Such a classic race car. Splendid modeling skills.

[@thisnicklldo]

Very nice. And it was a very beautiful car. I remember it winning, and to me it still looks like something sent back from the future, even after 47 years.

[@parascalemodels]

Great to see you come back to this build and give it justice. Thanks for the update David. Turned out nice!

[@schwarzerkuerbis]

Great paintjob on one of the greatest cars in history.

[@steenbirketoft6250]

I enjoy your videos SO much. And I think you should know, that your skills and your impressive works helped me to restart in modelling...after a brake for more than 35 years. Keep those videos coming!!! Best regards Steen

[@bikezonly]

Fujimi models aren't exactly detailed such as Tamiya but you turned this into a masterpiece! Keep it coming

[@afoxwithahat7846]

I appreciate Fujimi for doing older models, I mean, a lot of them.

[@27Fan4Ever]

Congratulations on recovering the finish on this model. It turned out spectacular. I do hope that Fujimi will offer the rumored 917 LH kit sometime soon.

[@eticket70]

I can almost hear the turbos howling! What an awesome model!!

[@TonhaoMastersBR]

Same here, friend!! :)

[@ozstrider]

This is one of my favourite videos of yours. I think this is how I found your channel! Glad you were able to upload it again.

[@aaronking488]

Your painted stripes and details are so much better and more authentic looking than the decals... outstanding job guy.

[@4ngu54110tt]

Good to know that you should not always give up and errors can be corrected. The model looks great. thanks David.

[@Twiggyay]

I've got this one as well, and i was pleased with myself for even finishing, but you... this guy is an artist.

[@johannmckraken9399]

Beautifully done Plasm, looks like Pedro Rodriguez could jump right in and win the pole at Spa!

[@Drummercommander]

The detail is insane! It even shines!

[@kevinthailand2567]

You did justice to my favorite paint scheme. Well done

[@ronschlorff7089]

Lovely build as usual. I for one really appreciate how you reveal your miss-steps, and show how to correct them, to soldier on with the build; not just here, but also in others of your models I've seen you make. It is extremely helpful!!! I'm sure you said a few "bad words" when you discovered the clear coat cracking, but you "saved us" from them! LOL :D

[@georgeshelton6281]

This is what you have to listen and watch; if ever make any plans, on becoming a hobby store clerk. You just make sure that; your hobby store doesn't, ever go out of business.

Pure excellence. As always.

[@monti7771]

I must say thank you you do outstanding work because of you I'm building and restoring models and hotwheels Outstanding performance in your work. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍 thanks again

The satisfaction of pealing the tape away and seeing all that hard-work turn into something bueatiful.

[@seanomatopoeia]

[@MarttiSuomivuori]

That's sick! I mean your attention to detail. Unbelievable result, like jewelry.

Amazing work. You are a true craftsman.

[@siddharthbhargav]

You are one of the most amazing artists I have ever seen, you have such precision and accuracy with your work, that I thought the car from the thumbnail was real.

[@bruceboatwright7488]

Once again, I'm inspired. Thanks for sharing. Beautiful work.

[@Bloatlord_the_Magnificent]

painting on the decals like that? You're an absolute madman, thats phenomonal

[@simpolicious]

I just received this model after looking at this video. I have since watched it again and guess what..will watch it again soon enough! Keep it up

[@davidbutterfield2949]

Great recovery with the paint job, looks terrific 👍🏻🇦🇺

[@Mithranos]

good job saving the car and it looks awesome. fun to watch you build.

[@ZOMb2010]

Unreal....you Sir continue to amaze me...Your videos are AwesOme...can not wait till your next build...PeaCe ...

[@navyf4s]

This is Beautiful! Will you do the Mazda 787b ?

[@TonhaoMastersBR]

Agreed!! :)

[@hlcepeda]

That would be quite a interesting painting challenge if he decided to do the Renown version without using the decals.

[@racingislife15]

@@hlcepeda I'd actually love to see him give it a go with just paint..

Throwing my support in for the 787B👍

[@lebaillidessavoies3889]

Very good technique , wouldnt have thought about that , the 3 layers of varnish + the polishing process...lot of work but the result is awsome....well above average!

[@jimferoce4862]

Your videos are incredibly enjoyable to watch. Thnx for sharing!

[@UlfAhlborg]

I love this video, makes me smile because I know how great it feels to successfully fix something after having it go so horribly wrong.

[@SuperHeliboy]

That is fabulous. Great instructive video.

[@brad25700]

All of your videos are great, every single one of them. Maybe in the future some sort of build techniques series could be done. So people who have no talent or experience compared to you could try out some of these processes you use to achieve such great models.

[@AIHurrell]

Done already, check out his videos with "Great Plastic Guide" in the title.

[@yah5o]

Ah, well done. I made the same mistake with the clear coat building a Revell Jordan Peugeot 197. But that was in the 90s. Resources were rare, knowledge too. Good times.

[@ytwhite5930]

Your method of making dash buttons is genius... I can't wait to try it!(melting and stretching black sprue). I love to learn new stuff...

[@SirRathalos]

Remember seeing this video a while ago, shame youtube's copyright system is not very forgiving. great to watch it again though! Keep up the good work! Thanks

[@IRMAOCUSTOMMODELS]

Beautifully Built. BRAVO!!!!

[@akc5150]

I have watched a number of your videos, and always love the work.... but the simple fact that you had to make your own decals and thought they were not as good as the originals??? In my humble eyes they look BETTER than the originals BECAUSE of any flaws that they may have contained (To be honest, I couldn't see any flaws but if you say they were there then they must have been). Fabulous job on the polishing too! You do wonderful work. Now subscribed... 😁

[@bigdaddy7119]

Amazing job and attention to detail! I love how you made the buttons out of sprue. I have made antennas out of it before but never thought about buttons/switches!

[@dosanjs]

Great video - excellent how you were able to save this model - i most likely would have given up! Thanks again

[@fabricefufu8816]

[@justyouraveragescalemodelb3152]

Nice job. I too have had a few disasters but as long as you bounce back and learn it’s all good! My latest model exploded when I tried to push the wheels in. I almost threw it away but it came out nice in the end.

Beautiful recovery, man. I don't think I would have chucked it at the wall, but it never would have been fixed by me. When I'm done with a model, I'm ready to be done with the model. Ready for something new.

Great-looking car, love the paint scheme! I've my first race car kit on the way soon, a Tamiya Alfa Romeo.

Completely amazed again although i've seen this video already when you uploaded it first.
