We use decals because we can more accurately recreate the effect of carbon fibre at scale. The weave of real carbon fibre doesn't downscale well. As for the steering, as a rule, no, though some of our models in the past have had a little steering movement. We wouldn't want to encourage people to actively play with our models - they are very intricately detailed and therefore extremely fragile.
@@AmalgamCollection That's interesting, I didn't know it was very difficult to made carbon fiber in a small scale. However, it would be interesting if there was a way to make the tires from some kind of rubber that flattens near the outer edges like on a real tire. I've seen one brand do this in 1:18 scale! I have no idea what they used that could replicate that but it makes a big difference in realism.
@@stuka97 Not at all! We're just saying you don't need a million dollars to appreciate our work. 🖼 In fact, we developed ranges of smaller scale models (1:8 scale cars, 1:12 scale nosecones, 1:4 scale steering wheels, and miniature sculptures) especially to cater to the larger markets who have neither the space or the capital for one of our 1:8 scale models.
I will buy a F1 model when im older and have enough disposable income. Absolutely stunning models.
These really are true works of art
Nice to see Rhino 3D is being used for this Masterpiece
i'm in LOVE with Amalgam and Autoart models, as well as a few others but these two Captivate me - and i don't want to be set free!
I love this kind of "make" videos
RB9 the last perfect car of Sebastian
Having viewed your website I'm truly stunned by them all ❤
would be amazing to work on some of these !
Stunning 😍
Wish I could buy and build a kit like this and build it!
Cool
Do you 'tone' the paint due to 'distance effect' I.e. a genuine Ford Blue will not look right on a 1/4 model.
Perfeito ....
Super
I like what they do, I would like to know what software they use to make these replicas thanks
you should make more cars 1/18*
Where do I wisit your wabsite

Why can't you use real carbon fibre for the body? Does the steering work?

I’ll take 400 ser
Amalgam is great if you have tens of thousands of dollars.
Our models are still great even if you don't have tens of thousands of dollars. 😁
@@AmalgamCollection So Sensitive ! Your models are great you just have to be a millionaire to own one.

@@AmalgamCollection Your work is impeccable I hope to own an example one day. Best Regards from Southern California

I think it could be even better
But really, $13K (U.S.) for a model??? AutoArt does it very well for 1/10 that amount!
Autoart doesn't do 1:8 or larger
