[tribeq1]

Awesome...jaw on floor. How do you fit these builds into one lifetime? You must be a thousand years old.:) 

[rojasbazan]

@tribeq1

Haha, still think build more!

[maxsmodels]

This goes beyond artwork. I shudder to think how many man hours go in to such a project.

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

Dear friend, I´m very glad that you enjoyed the videos and I appreciate the kind words. Thank you!

[fliegeroh]

Wonderful job. Really a work of art. Your cat seems to be very impressed, too.

[rojasbazan]

You are right (about Mishi). Thank you!

[Andrew279144]

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?

[rojasbazan]

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.

[solitajre222]

superb!

[rojasbazan]

Thank you!

[iloverush123]

TEACH ME HOW TO BUILD THESE!

[blownglasslide]

Inspiring. The SBD is my favorite aircraft :) Are those markings from the Lexington's group?

[rojasbazan]

Early SBD-3, May 1942, Task Force 16, Carrier Enterprise.

[blownglasslide]

Right, duh. Two stripes on the tail, Enterprise. One stripe, Lexington.  Awesome, the Big E rules.

[ekopferyo]

Never seen anything like that before. That is talent and a lot of time I'm sure. Truly remarkable.

[asturcuervo]

Guillermo, you are the man!

[rojasbazan]

Hi Scott, thank you for your kind words.

[PETEEAT]

hi rojas your works stunning i was wondering as a expert modeller would it be possible to build a exact flying model i.e scale engine,alloy thickness, materials as the original say a spit 14 , what would be the smallest scale you could build it providing of money/time etc

the reason i ask is i saw a ferrari 512 exact model with a working boxer flat12 in i believe 1 /1 10th scale

[rojasbazan]

Hi, these super detailed models are too heavy to fly. If you have any questions, please use my website email address.

[svinehunden]

the paint job is awesome too... does it fly?

[rojasbazan]

Hello Kasper, they are static model airplanes, all metal...too heavy to fly!!!

[svinehunden]

i kinda figured but i had to ask... ;)
