Thank you to Mark for sharing his incredible build with us at GSL! And thank you to all in the scale model community for your stories, artistry and support. Wishing everyone a happy and inspiring New Year!

Incredible! Pure passion. 4 years to build, with the fire extinguisher alone requiring an entire month to build. I'm getting into modeling again after a 40 year hiatus, and while I can never hope to reach Mark's level, this is truly inspirational and aspirational.

Gorgeously done! Thank you for the video!👍

Perfect definition of "if you're gonna do something, do it right" 👏😯

Absolutely GORGEOUS!!! ❤️👍🏼

I miss making models

Awesome craftsmanship

Doug, great job on the interview with Mark Jones. What a beautiful car he had and it was nice that you and him could talk about all the detailing on that and I enjoyed that when I saw it at the show too anyway great job keep up the good work.

Wow!

Absolutely Magnificent Mark!! That is just mind blowing detail!! Thanks for sharing your talent with us!!

What a stunner! Thank you for sharing this. 🤗

Seen his work forever.....my SoCal buddy competes against him on a regular basis. thx

Absolutely incredible. I've always thought the T70 was a beautiful piece of engineering

Beautiful !!

Wow, he did a vantastic job on that one

Wow! So much little detail. Thanks for sharing!

Absolutely incredible. Thank you for sharing. What a gorgeous build of a beautiful machine.

Amazing detail!

What an amazing piece of art! Wow!

I had the pleasure of watching Mark build this at MCM forums over the past couple of years. Tons of work to make it what it is for sure

I met him (and his wife) once there when I was picking up a few 1/43 car kits from his mom, Peggy. It's been a great while and I had completely forgotten about Mark's passion for super-detailing with special focus on Super-Sevens! You could tell that his mom was so proud of his skills. (BTW: I miss Amber. 🦮)

I also followed this build on the forums. This is the most beautiful model I have ever seen in my 60 years. Unreal the amount of craftsmanship built into the Lola T70.

Wow so inspiring

Amazing.

Awesome !

Wow, impressive work and model. Happy New Year from Nova Scotia...

Absolutely MIND BOGGLINGLY " GORGEOUS " 🏆🏆🏆🏆 Thanks For Sharing Guys. Wishing You & ALL YOUR'S a Blessed Safe Happy New Year 🎉🪅🎊🤗 Gary.

Awesome build and it's absolutely amazing the amount of detail and craftsmanship that went into this build 🙌😍❤️

The Marc Jones! Absolutely beautiful! Love that color! Guess I would have to look from a distance, that’s a lot of Magnets! Would probably fry my stimulator-pacemaker! Painting letters on tires used to be a big no no unless using acrylic paint! Who knew!Dang you can smell the race fuel just watching the video! Bravo Sir!!! 🫠🫡🇺🇸

Pretty Wild--

Insane level of detail. Thanks for sharing with us. Happy New Year to you Doug.

The tires from that period are a problem. I had a M8A Tamiya where only 1 tire melted into goo after fourty-some years.

Those tires soften over the years then sag from the weight of the car. One trick I learned of was to cut an appropriately sized strip of plastic (that of beverage containers are ideal) and install it inside the tire. The plastic strip flexes outward to "reinforce" the tire and helps it to keep its shape.

awesome build 👌👌👌👌🏆🏆

Awesome work!

Cool as always. ​Happy New Year 🎉

Wow, that's amazing work.

Mark is an absolute master of his craft and has my jaw on the floor with every build. Dad and I act like little kid’s when we see all the details and effort put in. When you have a build sitting next to Randy’s Corvette and your’s still grabs everyone’s attention you know you did something right. I have to get to a GSL in ‘24. Thanks for sharing

Good video thanks lee

Awesome detail work. Very very cool.

Well built, beautiful. Thanks for sharing this inspirational build. 👍👍👍.

Thats a awesome build!

Great build!!!!!! 👍👍

Sweet build!

Mark does amazing work, definitely a big fan of his art......

I really admire car builders. With military or construction vehicles, you can get away with a lot. But cars are unforgiving. Everything has to be pristine.

Most incredible build and mark is brilliant! I’ve watched this video over n over. Amazing work like your own sir.

Amazing - thanks for sharing this description of such a piece of art work! I am miles and miles and miles away from that perfomrance with my models.

A madd scientist indeed. Sheesh!!

It's such a Beautiful Build!!! Great Video!!! Thanks for sharing

Fantastic work! Thank you and Happy New Year Doug.

Brilliant and inspiring craftsmanship. Thank you for sharing this Doug. Happy New Year to you!

Outstanding work! The level of detail I would love to implement in my builds, make it as close as possible to the real thing.

shore come a long easy since I built my first MPC in 1970, I don't even remember what it was, nascar prolly, #43 WoW

That’s a stunning build, I’m glad we got to hear the stories behind it and it obviously deserved all the prizes. It’s interesting considering 3D printing, I’m still at the stage where I see it as an alternative to genuine scratch building, if you have the technical knowledge you can push a button and have any car or part in front of you in a matter of hours. It’s great but is it as worthy as someone who’s built that part entirely by hand? Especially if it’s someone else’s programme or coding? Maybe people felt the same when they saw Augie’s handbuilt marvels back in the day. I’m glad I’m nowhere near ever building anything to a contest standard, I’d hate to have to compete my poor scratchbuilt pieces against top quality 3D printing. That’s in no way a comment against Mark’s skills or anyone else’s btw, I’m just thinking out loud.

What an exceptional build. I would put this on par with the skill level of the A4 GARAGE model builder. Check him out.

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Great video! What's the microphone set up you use?

Thanks! We attach a cordless dji lavalier mic to each speaker, plus we have the mic on the camera(s) to sync with in editing. With a limited budget we only have two lavaliers so we have to compromise or put them on the table if there are more than two speakers. They help cut down on room noise at a show, but sometimes placement on the person gets interference from breath and beards. We’re still figuring it out.

This was the GSL XXVII International Scale Vehicle Championship (Salt Lake City, Utah, May 2023). It was a 4 day event, and the final one of a premier competition that has run since 1979. You can find other videos on our channel from this show (they all have GSL in the title) and we will be publishing more videos from this show as soon as we can edit them!

Why would it have a spare with it ?

Sweet, but there's something I have always wondered. Why do people with a specialty car, always want a scale model of the same thing? YOU ALREADY HAVE THE REAL THING! This is that same idea, but on crack! Why spend all that time building a small scale model of something when you already spent years building the real one? Seems so incredibly redundantly backwards.

2023 is expired lol
