You should do this with model trains, if at all possible! Loved this!
Sir, I absolutely respect your hobby and I rarely ever do what I do next but yeah….sir, there is NO justification for these prices. I know you tried in the video and I did watch it and saw the amount of work etc but no, this cannot be justified in a world where, even in the uk, you have kids going hungry.
James May was originally scheduled to film this visit, but after refusing to leave for 3 days, Amalgam had to have him forcibly removed, and now is subject to a restraining order. Turns out it takes that long to tidy and organise a 1/8 scale full tools cabinet.

It's James May. What did you expect?
Ah Internets, you never cease to keep me entertained.
I'm sure the same thing would happen I'd Adam Savage went there.
Lol😂😂
I thought I was being excessive buying a 40 euro model of my car. These guys should setup a museum with dioramas and history lessons about all the cars.
These would be perfect for a small scale museum. Pack a lot of history in a small place. Plus you could display cars that may not exist anymore.
Exactly what was thinking@@number1yota
Right, I wince when I spend $280+ on Autoart models - these make Autoart models look like Hot Wheels knockoffs
I'm a full-time scale modeler catering to collectors. These are simply works of art, and their customers are paying for the time a dedication these artists put into each piece. Beautiful work.
Works of art, actually. Precise examples of modern engineering and fabrication, both in real life and these scale reproductions. As an avid aircraft modeller and die-cast collector, I heartily approve! Bravo!
Nice to see Richard Hammond's new life size car collection!
As a scale modeller, who mostly focuses on aircraft, I loved this video. The cars look fantastic but I can't be the only one that noticed the decals on that SR-71 weren't on properly. You can see the film quite clearly. For the SR-71 where the finish is a matte black it's a common problem which is why a lot of modellers cut masks and spray the markings on instead.
Not to mention the pilot's helmet just looked terrible. Or at least, terrible by $50,000 model standards lol
@@Valynbrown thats what i thought, the window with the red trim also looked quite janky
What??? Decals on a multi thousand dollar model? Inexcusable! My $1,600 Agora Diecast Mercedes W196 R has painted on graphics that are perfect!
As an avid model builder since I was a kid, I think these models are amazing
I have a couple of amalgam models. They are by far the most detailed models on the market. They are truly works of art, I can stare at them for hours. Nothing even comes close in my opinion.
These are no longer models these are art pieces 😍
You are 100% correct. This is pour art
I swear I'm not complaining anymore about Solido prices increasing of 10 euros. More miniature cars please, this was so satisfying. Probably I would love to have the African wagons trio in 1/4th scale, the 528i impreza and 850R rigorously modified for Africa life😁
That’s incredible, there’s a company in Britain called “The Little Car Company”, that builds drivable models like this (smaller scale than the original car they’re modeling) and they’re awesome. Amazing craftsmen in Britain that’s for sure
🇬🇧 ❤
Shmee used to be an investor or something with that company
I prefer to build my own but it is incredible seeing these, especially to see what amateurs like me can learn from them.
Pretty crazy that these models cost more than my actual 1/1 scale car which can drive and everything!
Like anything else, you have to pay for quality and these are true works of art by passionate craftsman.
Stunning stunning stunning stunning stunning.
2:08 wheels on old aston, amazing work😯
I never got into models because I simply have never had the patience to build them, though I do very much enjoy looking at them. The builder's have my utmost respect for the amount of patience and steady hand they must have to be able to put so much fine detail into their creations. Really amazing!
I love the company. Love this little recreations. Thank you for this
I would suggest the purchasing of the license is where the bulk of your money goes.
Beautiful video, both from the content standpoint, but so from the production and editing aspect as well. Beautifully timed and choreographed, definitely some of your best work. Keep it up and looking forward to other videos like this.
Rocking that SD hat 🤙🏼
Absolutely brilliant
Having a paid job building miniature vehicles to such detail is really a dream job. I'm jealous of those people working at Amalgam.
They all look amazing!
These are absolutely incredible, and incredibly priced.
Loved this!!
A tad bit expensive
Regardless of how wealthy someone is, wasting money is wasting money!
@@matthewkuhl79 all relative.
If someone makes let say 400K a month, 30K is something relatively small. For special occasions i can understand someone spending this amount. If i had 30K 'laying around' i would consider a model from Amalgam
I'd rather Buy Shimazu Takahisas reproduction armor instead of that
Just a tad
Absolutely 💯 love the video
This was amazing.❤
Great video! Thanks for sharing.
19:49 iv had the honour of working on the v12 Merlin engine it's such a beast, you look like a kid in his favourite toy shop......I'm jealous 😂😂 great video Mike
Mike, you have come such a long way from your early videos.
Keep up the great work.
These models are out of this world, the attention to detail is simply nuts 😮❤
Pretty cool but the prices are ridiculous. That SR71 you can see the decals on the tail fins no smoothing or coating to attempt to flatten them like the pro modellers do.
Absolutely amazing
Love people doing what they love and this shines through on this video
I had the privilege to get up close and personal with both the SR71 and the U2/TR1, as well as seeing them take off and land. The SR71 gets so hot that the titanium expands a great deal, they are fueled just before start up and during the taxi, takeoff and all the way up to supersonic speeds, fuel leaks from gaps that allow expansion. Usually after takeoff the aircraft refuels. The U2 takes off and immediately climbs to cruising altitude, the climb is very close to vertical. Pilots of both aircraft wear high altitude flying suites which are close to space suits, they had one complaint. They have to pass a very thorough physical exam before each flight and wear the suite, flying at 60,000ft but when crossing the Atlantic there was another aircraft at 60,000ft the occupants were not in special suits, didn't get examined and the passengers were sipping champagne and eating fine food. They loved and hated the Concorde for that.
Amazing work
That's one of the coolest things I've ever seen!
I'm glad a talent like this has an outlet. Wonderful works of art. Definitely on my lotto win list is a visit here.
This is so amazing to watch, the models are very expensive tho but love the way they look, it's incredible
I want to live there, imagine how peaceful and amazing life would be just watching those guys work and staring at those cars all the time!
The level of craftsmanship is second to none
I haven't seen anything produced to an automaton level of detail outside of clockwork for a very long time. These are very cool.
those models are stunning!
stunning
Literally art
Great shop!
"Stunning" does not even beginn to describe, what that is!
Amazing content guys
Love the San Diego Padres hat.
Amalgam are amazing craftsmen!
Those are some nice model cars ❤
Awesome bro... your content always inspire my videos...cheers 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Obsession has its own beauty ❤
As a scale modeller, this is basically dream job, all the special wishes customers have and being able to fulfill them is great! Its also nice to see that they use some regular, everyday products that are availabe to everybody, although i would like to see how they are making all those hand crafted parts like door mechanism and so on! Very impressive!
Mostly 3D printed
Fortunate enough to see the very same SR-71 that model was representing (17972) in Virginia 2 years ago. Bucket list moment to finally see a Blackbird in person.
I can only smile at the prices, bitter smile :)
Careful waving your arms around near the end there Mike!
just to be clear the SR71 is the succesor of the A12 archangel not the U2
The daddy of them all, better looking too!
Indeed. The U2 and SR71 operated side by side.
Id love to see any sort of rally car made up by Amalgam, Group B or even a modern Rally 1. Especially if it was post race model; little dents, dings, wear, damage, worn tires, dirt\mud splatter, chips in the paint from rocks, etc..
I’ve been so stunned by this video I’ve watched it twice
Peak job satisfaction right there ..... amazing
I'm not seeing $40k for that SR71 model...what am I missing? Would love to see under the body panels of that RB18
i think so too, i have seen better models at a modeling show
indeed, it's definitely not a $40k model...
Even the decaling work looks pretty bad on it, they're put on top of a matte finish, it causes that horrible decal silvering effect which is visible there... very amateurish
Great diecast car, I was looking on a we known auction site last night and came across some Oxford Diecast, Top Gear amphibious cars, you should review them.
Truly impressive craftsmanship! I know the drill and the challenges when it comes to building highly detailed model cars. Mine is also RC ;)
Short and sweet,, yes
it wants to start and run for 30K lol
I’m curious if they wear down the tires on the weathered models?
I want to pick up model making again . This place is awesome !
WOW
Hello there. it's one of the coolest things I've seen on TH-cam, thanks for showing it there and I'd also like to say to those who make and paint the cars, they're so super good at their job that it can't be described. if possible I would like you to do it again and where you have to make a car from state to finish it could be exciting to see and we will also see how difficult it is what they do there .1000 thanks again ps. that has also just become my dream job. Greetings from a big fan. Alf 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Very cool video 🎉
I stood next to the RB 18 show car.massive dream come true for a redbull fan....and it's absolutely massive... Cannot believe those drivers maneuver those things like they do... Mind boggling.
Thank you. This is my idea of heaven.
San Diego baseball hat! 🔥
You must've filmed this while James was in India.
I dont do instagram, but I'd love the Nurburgring 2017 Dodge Viper ACR. Still the fastest NA car, and 19th overall set in Sept of 2017. 2 were built, but the 1st was crashed on a practice lap, and the 2nd broke major parts, and the 1st was cannibalized to keep the 2nd going, which then set the record.
Lots of love from new zealand ❤❤❤❤
These things are pure 'object of desire'. No, it performs no useful purpose. No, I don't need it. But gawd do I still want one!
I could never afford one of those (not sure I would if I could...maybe if I had more money than I can imagine I would, who knows) , but the attention to detail and the crafting that goes into making the models is mind-blowing.
Please do a tour that shows how they work with the CAD data to make the model and molds. It would be great to see how they print the parts and make the tooling for production.
Nice PRX
F117 Nighthawk 🤤
Part of being a petrol head is nerding out on cool intricate models
one nice memory I have of this type of work is a late 90s 'gloog-gloog' reference and ya this made me think that ...
love Mike is repping The Padres!!!! # LFGSD
I'm a Warhammer collector, don't give Games Workshop any ideas that a market for models this expensive exists.
Incredible models and level of detail! $$$ but now we know why. Only thing that compete with this is seeing these scale remote control with real working scaled down v10, v12, v8 , custom made manual gear boxes for them just to name a few. The guy has his own you tube channel making all this stuff and it's addictive ! I would love to have that gt40 and that sr71 blackbird. Reminds me of the testor kit I put together back in the 80s I and had hanging from my calling along with a f14 tomcat and p38 lightning. For further content you should look at real working micro scale models and their gorgeous, and powerful (each scale down engine has its own sound and exhaust) . It's another rabbit hole that will eat your time and $$$
I have two Amalgam models: a Ferrari 330 P3 and a 250 GTO. They are only 1/18th scale but the fit and finish are outstanding. I've put my name down for a Ferrari 499P and can't wait to get it. I don't suppose I'll ever be able to afford a 1/8th scale model, but I live in hope.
wow detail, Detail, DETAIL, beautiful. any ferrari cars on the go?
Many years ago, Clarkson visited a guy who'd built a Ferrari. Fully working and even sounded right. Probably on you tube
This is soooo cool
I bought a 1:12 scale spark 2021 max verstappen abu dhabi winner
Thought that had insane detail
Would love to see a 1989 mercedes sel560 or a 2009 bentley brooklands
I collect relatively cheap and affordable model cars, these are way cooler, more detailed and more expensive! Having some of these models and actually owning some of them in real life, heaven!
Do they have engine sounds also? Would be cool of you got a key for the cars that can "start" the engine
While I know I could never afford something quite like these models, they are stunning,. The SR 71 Blackbird is a thing of beauty
Hey Mike I'm digging that SR-71. On a side note while stationed @Kadena ABF I was a Phantom Phixer but, on the SAC side of base there were a few black birds, except at Kadena they were called "Habu" which is a snake local to Okinawa. So check the tail number Mike you may have a Habu and not a blackbird.
You should do some features on people's model collections around the UK and beyond. There's some good one out there!
Love the idea of the detail and what goes into these. The pricing is still ridiculous. There are several companies that are licensed with fraction of the cost in the 1:18 and 1:24 scales. All that being said there does appear to be customers paying for it so more power to them
2:48 - "YOU CAN DO THAT?!!!" . . . 'Be smooth, be Mike.' : )
The cars I'd like to see are the three mini's from the italian job done as model, on the same plinth.
It must require so much patience, but effects are so impressive!
What would I like to see as a model?
One of my first thoughts: Hyundai N Vision 74
