Really nice models, but obscenely expensive. I can't imagine having the motivation to pay £20k plus for a model. For me, which model I'd go for? I dunno. I loved my old X-Type, I loved my old Mx5 even more, but I think I'd want my current 911. Or maybe my dream car - a Dauer 962 LM.

Yup and I think some of these pieces about them where the headline is £20,000 model car!! Does them a disservice. That's for a huge 1/8 scale , 3 foot long and very rare models. If you want an equally we'll made Amalgam but something you can compare more easily to mid level quality models like Minichamps , say a 1:18 F40 or a 1:18 Formula 1 car, you're looking at around £600. I spent £400 on a rare MiniChamps Audi 90 IMSA GTO and as detailed as that is (you can change the AN fittings on the breather on the cam cover and read the Stack Dash speedo numbers, the fire extinguisher certification sticker) I know Amalgam cars are of much higher quality. So £400 to £600. Not crazy really. Probably 2% or less of what they do is above £20k. The fact its a small English company using local craftsmen as opposed to making everything in China like Minichamps makes it even more special in an age where 85% of the things in our daily lives from the Gearknob on your Audi to the DHS sofas in your living room is made in China.

I've collected quite a few over the years, mainly low to mid tier models. The most expensive one I owned was the now discontinued and highly sought after Ferrari 250 gto by CMC. I paid £370 for it and sold it on after a couple of years for £1200. Amalgam are a little on the pricey side but if you have the money then go for it. Otherwise look at 1/18 Autoart, TSM, BBR etc for similar details and quality at more reasonable prices. With advances in manufacturing and cad technology even entry level models from the likes of bburago are very presentable these days. Their Lamborghini Sian is excellent for the price.

For those complaining about the price, like he explained, it has to do with the market. If they prep everything to make a certain model and there is only 1 that will be sold, the entire project cost obviously has to be paid for by that single buyer. If there are 100 buyers, it will be much cheaper. etc. If you order 100.000+ of the same model, you will likely be able to get them for like $500 per model or cheaper. Point is, there isn't a big enough market, mainly due to competition. Same goes for everything. If all car manufacturers stop making cars except BMW, Audi, Mercedes and they stick to 1 certain model for 5+ years, we would be able to buy those cars for $5000 or less brand new and those companies would still get rich AF.

I have an amalgam 1/18th George Russell merc, and I love it. It sits on my desk, so I can look at it every day. If I could have one 1/8th from amalgam, it would be a Shelby Daytona coupe, my all time favorite car.

The artistry is amazing. I build scale models with quite a bit of detail, much of which i have to scratch build myself but this is a whole other world of model making. If i was to have one made it would be of my 1988 pontiac fiero gt.

I love building 1/8, 1/12 and 1/16 scale models because the amount of detail I can pack into a larger scale model would amaze most people stuff like springs, linkages, spark plugs, buttons, nuts and bolts and wires and tubes, I have even made working butterfly valves on carburetors. MFH even makes a working 1/12 scale four rotor Mazda Wankle rotary for their 787b with working slide ITB itakes.

As an avid scale model this video was so entertaining to watch.

I would LOVE to have an entire room or basement decorated with a slot car track in the middle, a massive TV to watch Formula 1 and GT races, and some MASSIVE dustproof LED lit display units full of those 1/8 scale formula one cars from Amalgam (all historically relevant models, at least to me)... let me dream away

Hope you achieve it, I'm actually close to doing it in 1/18 scale!

as someone collecting 1/64, 1/43, 1/24 scale models this video is such eye candy for me. Also I'd want their scale model of a 250 GTO

I have a unopened Dodge Challenger sitting on my shelf right now that my wife got me last year for our 21st wedding anniversary that I need to open and put the wheels on to be complete and I've been saving it for a rainy day!!!!

So they have a lackey out the back making these things for £5/hour, is that what you're telling me? £20,000 for 4,000 hours work... Whatever the case, these are absolutely stunning pieces and great to see someone working in precisely the right field for them - love the passion!

Hahaha, a working full scale model, right? It's called a car I think.
