I haven’t checked out PDM, but I have been following Tarmac works for a long time I own a few, I like them for the price and the great customer service and the shipping time. But from your video I think the quality is MUCH better and I do think if they are a decent price for the amazing quality I think they might take it.
@@modelcarshouston after seeing this, I looked up PDM stuff and they are a little too expensive for the quality, but don’t get me wrong they are HIGHLY detailed and worth every bit of credit I can give them.
I like both PGM and Tarmac. I have the PGM Supernine but I will also buy the Tarmac one. PGM has a better shape for the rear part but Tarmac a better shape for the front part. For spoiller, PGM has a better shape. For side headlight, PGM is better with a transparent plastic instead of painted work for Tarmac. But for headlight, Tarmac is better as I prefer yellow to orange as it better matches with the blue body color. Also, I prefer the blue color of Tarmac, which is a bit paler than PGM. PGM is good in the front and back plates making it more realistic. So I need to buy both of them. Overall, I like PGM as its QC is much better and its open mechanical parts, which justifies its higher price. For Tarmac, always have QC issues with its the paint job on the car body. I guess some of its factories do not have a good environment to keep away from dust during the painting process.
I would definitely go for PGM because of the quality and details. I probably will never buy another Tarmac model since all of my orders have paint chips, broken wipers, scuffed windshields straight out of the box. However, I did get them at a good price, with full refund (and I did not have to return them) But still. As my collection grows, TARMAC will probably be in a corner ahead of Hot Wheels so viewers won't look too close haha.
I don't mind spending 100.00 for a detailed 1/43 model like, looksmart. But, for a 1/64 model, even if it opens NO. I'll take the Tarmac Works Hobbie, every time. In fairness, I would never by a RWB or Liberty Works or any other modified car anyway. I also stick to GT3, GT4 and prototype race cars. Have plenty of good Tarmac Works in 1/64.
Depends on cash, Both are highly detailed, ultra premium. But PGM beats Tarmac any day :) Although it costs almost 2x the Tarmac. If i got extra cash, I'll pick PGM else Tarmac.
Yes, the missing wiper bothered me as well. I honestly think they forgot. I'm sure if they were on top of it they would have added it. I mean after all that work not put a wiper? haha
When swiched from hotwheels to tarmac I get really impressed but after get my first pgm i was shocked about its details and quality. Now I dont even look at my tarmacs :P
THe more features, parts being added, the more pricer it gets. :( If MINI GT adds opening features, that would be amazing (prob be like $14.99 isntead of 9.99..? )
There are SO many features that go into the final pricing of a collectible car. Even opening compartments don't mean the BEST value. The reason PGM seems to go WAY up there is because they combine opening parts AND highly detailed quality. Ultimately it boils down to preference for what you like and go with that.
Yes sir! For sure the price makes a difference. I like the P.G.M. better because of all the extras. Opening die cast, better detail, overall presentation is intense and more limited. I have also been informed that the P.G.M. version is A LOT more accurate to the real car than the Tarmac version.
It goes like this. Shitty Hot Wheels or way better Mini GT? Mini GT or more details with Tarmac Works? Tarmac Works or PGM with opening parts? Each opponent cost more money. However, Mini GT and Tarmac Works are sexy as fuuuuuuuuuck.
In general, do you guys like PGM or Tarmac better? Is it because of quality? Price? Let me know!

100% till this day their QC still is lacking unfortunately.
The filming, the talks about the object are really good. God bless the works.
Thank you!
did the wheels spin?

Does the tire roll for both model?tq in advance 😁😁🙏🙏
No sir
Depends on cash,
Both are highly detailed, ultra premium. But PGM beats Tarmac any day :) Although it costs almost 2x the Tarmac. If i got extra cash, I'll pick PGM else Tarmac.
For sure! Definitely depends on each others position financially but BOTH are GREAT models!
The Tarmac version has removable turbo fan disks up front. Are the PGM ones removable?
I am torn. I don't like the door gaps in my models, but PGM is clearly a little better detailed. However they did miss the wipers so that bothers me.
Yes, the missing wiper bothered me as well. I honestly think they forgot. I'm sure if they were on top of it they would have added it. I mean after all that work not put a wiper? haha
@@modelcarshouston
This is odd, because my PGM Porsche Supernine does indeed have the windshield wiper blades present
@@sheldoninst WHAAAAAAAAAAAAT lol omg
The shape of the PGM is also more accurate than the Tarmac. Nice comparison!
Thank you VERY much! The PGM is a work of art!

HAHAHA, happens to the best of us! The details are amazing. However, there's a step even above that!
@@modelcarshouston Do tell.
@@ethanh8791 Ignition Model Resins. You can find a video about them on my channel. They're pretty insane and clock in at $100 a pop for a 64 scale!
Does PGM have metal base? And does it roll well? Also does Tarmac works have metal base?
@@boss_niko none of them have metal base and wheels doesnt turn well
PGM for sure... I like their chrome 250GTO the best
Chrome is a BEAUTIFUL finish on almost everything!
Do they roll? The PGMs
@@emmanuelbaezcarventines8417 generally sort of, but they’re easy to take apart. I’ve made all mine roll really well really easily
@@emmanuelbaezcarventines8417 you can definitely make them roll but they don't roll as smooth!
@@sophiat I enjoy the static display more often then rolling them.
damn, I live in the Uk cant get it here. is there any way to get it shipped to the UK by any chance?
I'm working on overseas shipping for 2022.
@@modelcarshouston Ok, thanks.
Super nine is currently for sale in new zealand crashed. How did it end up in nz? Or is it a replica?
It was actually sold. I'm not sure where it ended up after this diecast set was released.
i collect Tarmac Works but i;d say
PGM looks fantastic for detail! Thanks for video =D
Oh yes, PGM definitely has a special place with me too!
THe more features, parts being added, the more pricer it gets. :( If MINI GT adds opening features, that would be amazing (prob be like $14.99 isntead of 9.99..? )

does PGM have metal base?
The base is made of acrylic.
which one rolls?
The PGM cost 3x more than the Tarmac Works so bang for buck I’ll go with the Tarmac. Tarmac Agera isy favorite
Yes sir! For sure the price makes a difference.

does PGM have metal base? and does it roll well?
Pgm resin or metal?
Metal
Do the pgm roll???
you can definitely make them roll but they don't roll as smooth!
PGM all day if you have the cash. Tarmac also looks to be slightly different on some of the scaling.
They're both AWESOME models for sure!
Is PGM Japanese brand or American?
with PGM's going for 69.99 and up and Tarmac works for about 25.00. I will take Tarmac works..
The difference in cost is the additional opening components and details.
It's weird how both models have their windshield wipers going opposite directions.
Hahaha
JDM cast?
couldnt imagine having a diorama full of pgm models
I have the Greddy RWB 993 from Tarmac. I thought it was cool and odd for a jdm tuner to be on a Porsche livery.
YOOO!!! Yes sir! There is so much good stuff here.
PGM is the best
I love PGM!!!!
Tarmac works 4life, but i didn’t know about PGM so I will have to check them out
Yeah, there are all types of goodies out there!
@@modelcarshouston if you have any more unique companies I would love to hear them.

@@modelcarshouston thank you sir, I greatly appreciate it
Is PGM Porsche licensed? Coz Tarmacs surely are. Please confirm
Yes, PGM is licensed.
It goes like this. Shitty Hot Wheels or way better Mini GT? Mini GT or more details with Tarmac Works? Tarmac Works or PGM with opening parts? Each opponent cost more money. However, Mini GT and Tarmac Works are sexy as fuuuuuuuuuck.
no more hot wheels please.... lol
