I have watched almost your entire series on this build... this is without a doubt some of the most incredible workmanship I have seen. I have learned so much from watching your build series. The Europa is also one of my very favourite cars... I am completely in awe and humbled by your skills... your video production and editing is also terrific. I can not thank you enough for documenting and sharing your skills with us. Would you consider doing a build where you convert Tamiya Lotus 7 to Caterham 7? I can not wait to see what you do next. Bravo! Chapeaux! Congratulations!!
Greetings from UK! Your attention to detail is outstanding! You have raised the bar on modelling excellence and have inspired many modellers (myself included) to attain a level of perfection that was unimagineable. Your models genuinely look like shrunk down versions of the real item - they are so realistic, they don't look like models anymore. That is model perfection. Thank you for your generosity in showing every step that you took on this journey.

Thank you. A small British sports car gave us a lot of dreams.😊✨
The Leonardo Di Vinci of modeling. His models should go strait to a museum. You sir are the pinnacle of this art form. Yes this is art.

Beautiful. I've always loved model kits since a young age. Dinosaurs, Airfix planes etc, then the odd imported Japanese SciFi model such as Xabungle and Vifam series from Bandai. Always to a competent level but never beyond that, I just don't have the patience. Would actually love to find someone with the skills seen here who would be happy to sell on their finished model work so I could admire a high quality model without needing the skills lol.

An incredible masterpiece of art! Just unbelievable which precision, patience, and love went into it.
Just when you think the interior can't get any better, he add's even more detail. First time I've watched this channel and I'm hooked already. Absolutely amazing

Amazing! The amount of patience you have is mind boggling. If your hand wasn't in the final pictures I'd swear it was the real car! Your attention to detail is superb!
That is a great build, but the nicest surprise was at the end. I actually went for a drive in HNG669L. My cousin married a guy who did road tests for Motor magazine in the UK. Toward the end of 1972, he visited us while driving that actual car, and I went out on a memorable road trip. What a thing for a 10 year old kid!

A work of art. Outstanding skils. Thank you Master.

You have to think twice, it's a real car and someone has modelled a giant hand beside it. Incredible build.
I'd speculate this model was far better built and finished than any of the real cars were.

@@steverushforth7009 sad…did you read what I said about my mate’s Renault engined one?…the alternator suddenly broke off and we had to have the bracket welded back on at some random garage on the way home. Such a shame. I thought it was such a cool car.

@@derrickgreen9020 Yes, the Renault's were awful, the rear deck was too high, the gear linkage was very sloppy, the Ford was a great car if fact if you drove them side by side they felt like completely different cars, while most people would say the Elan S4 roadster was the best at that time, I prepared the Ford-powered Europa. Here is a weird fact, the Europa has Ford Anglia front bumper.
Now with prices for model kits, paints etc. rising, look at this guy and take your time to build your models as good as possible. Very inspiring video.

I could look at your work for hours. This precision calms me down.
Your video was recommended to me because I watch many fantasy miniature painting videos (and I do a lot of miniature painting myself). I never really considered car model kits seriously before. I really am amazed at how much attention to detail you can put into a model like this, and how wonderfully it came out. Really eye-opening, I can see that this hobby is very beautiful. Thanks for the nice video!
