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.
@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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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
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!
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!
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.
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.
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.
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... 😁
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.
Don't know which car I like better, the 917 or the 512. We are showing Le Mans at our community theatre in June for the 50th anniversary of the 1970 running. Great job on your 917, it looks fantastic!
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
This is the old video but reloaded. I had some problems with copyright. It is always great fun :-D
What was the copyright issue? Just curious...
Jake Darling Yeah me too,
PLASMO - plastic models didn't he have a part of the race scene in it
PLASMO - plastic models music? or Porsche being a bitch?
I had in the video one-minute movie scene from "Le Mans 1971". Big deal :-D
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.

Another stunning display of craftsmanship raised to the level of art. Bravo, sir! And thank you for sharing your work.
I wish I could fail upward too.
@@jgo1961 It may look like the Sol aire CX-4, but it's really not.
Humans don't confess, they hide and blame each other
I discovered PLASMO three days ago. These videos are simply addictive. Repainted the car. I'm impressed.
You painted on the decals....
You sir are a savage
Its the only way to do it
@Asif Ifas He´s Czech, not German.
@@kettufox4915 haha, I thought he was czech after hearing it :) we all sound the same
@Asif Ifas he is czech actually :D
Nvm

You did a wonderful job David representing one of the most important race cars of all time.
Seriously? This is museum quality results. Absolutely beautiful. Thanx for sharing.👍👍
Thank you. The 917 is absolutely iconic. Superb build.
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.
Such a classic race car. Splendid modeling skills.
Great to see you come back to this build and give it justice. Thanks for the update David. Turned out nice!
I can almost hear the turbos howling! What an awesome model!!
Same here, friend!! :)
Fujimi models aren't exactly detailed such as Tamiya but you turned this into a masterpiece! Keep it coming
I appreciate Fujimi for doing older models, I mean, a lot of them.
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.
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
Great models! Love this channel and your dedication!
I've got this one as well, and i was pleased with myself for even finishing, but you... this guy is an artist.

Good to know that you should not always give up and errors can be corrected. The model looks great. thanks David.
Great paintjob on one of the greatest cars in history.
The detail is insane! It even shines!
.your work is exemplary. being one that loves model cars. have learned much from your technique.
Beautifully done Plasm, looks like Pedro Rodriguez could jump right in and win the pole at Spa!
Wonderful !!!! Congratulations !!!! Thanks for sharing your experience
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.
Man, you both inspire me and set me to despair on why would I bother making a model...
Your painted stripes and details are so much better and more authentic looking than the decals... outstanding job guy.
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.
That's sick! I mean your attention to detail. Unbelievable result, like jewelry.
Magnificent! Greetings from Brazil!
Awesome. Great save. My favorite lemans car of all time. We need a 1/8 scale version
⭐️just WOW !!⭐️ ....there is talent... and then there is a level beyond skill that I don’t know the word for 👍
Fantastic build - if mine were half as good I would be over the moon - well done love watching a master at work - thanks !!
Wow increíbles los detalles un gran trabajo saludos desde 🇨🇱
You did justice to my favorite paint scheme. Well done
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.
An excellent modeler always something to learn.
Superb job. I envy the steady hands!
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!
Great-looking car, love the paint scheme! I've my first race car kit on the way soon, a Tamiya Alfa Romeo.
10/10 man!!! Awesome car, exceptional build.
Wow, that is one of the most beautiful scale models I have ever seen! The panel detail is amazing!
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...
Once again, I'm inspired. Thanks for sharing. Beautiful work.
2:31 this is why I subscribed. Love your attention to details
Amazing recovery and the finish is first class
Great recovery with the paint job, looks terrific 👍🏻🇦🇺
good job saving the car and it looks awesome. fun to watch you build.
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.
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!
You're amazing! I admire your patience and skill greatly.
That is fabulous. Great instructive video.
What a great build, even after a turnaround... monster!
Amazing work. You are a true craftsman.
painting on the decals like that? You're an absolute madman, thats phenomonal
Beautifully Built. BRAVO!!!!
Completely amazed again although i've seen this video already when you uploaded it first.
What an amazing job, a very high level of craftsmanship. I wish I could purchase that 917 he built.
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
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.
Absolutely perfect
Pure excellence. As always.
Beautiful build !
congratulations on the recovery!!
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.
Done already, check out his videos with "Great Plastic Guide" in the title.
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 video - excellent how you were able to save this model - i most likely would have given up! Thanks again
Unreal....you Sir continue to amaze me...Your videos are AwesOme...can not wait till your next build...PeaCe ...
Your videos are incredibly enjoyable to watch. Thnx for sharing!
That is just gorgeous. Ure a genius Plasmo!!!
You possess the consummate skill of a Swiss watchmaker sir, extremely impressed.
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???

Great video, inspirational! - You managed the fix from the showed stage!
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.
Man this is art. Regards from Argentina. Amazing work.
You are an artist.
Wow! I am building this kit right now and I had to strip the body yesterday. I hope I can salvage mine half as well as you did. Great work!
i like your technique and thx for sharing, great job
David, your work is absolutely brilliant👍

Absolutely stunning
Beautiful work.
The results are outstanding
As always you do a tremendous job with the build and video. Hoping to tackle this same model soon!
you set the bar high man, nice job, I hope you are doing this for a living. that would be sweet
I would say that I like the look after you fixed the paint better than the decals. It really shows off your skills.
Fantastic job. Just great please keep making those videos coming.
