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.
I make and collect 1/24 model cars. I also build models for customers but these prices are absolutely out of reach for normal people. I guess the customers are millionaires or billionaires, or the car companies themselves.
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.
*insert* tumbleweed gif
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!
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.
As an avid model builder since I was a kid, I think these models are amazing
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😁
These are no longer models these are art pieces 😍
You are 100% correct. This is pour art
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
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
2:08 wheels on old aston, amazing work😯
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!
I would suggest the purchasing of the license is where the bulk of your money goes.
Like anything else, you have to pay for quality and these are true works of art by passionate craftsman.
Or you just do it yourself, makes you proud aswell.
Stunning stunning stunning stunning stunning.
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!
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!
Rocking that SD hat 🤙🏼
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
I love the company. Love this little recreations. Thank you for this
40k for that plane is a joke, especially at the zoom of the pilot i would expect watch maker precision not a 10yo with a brush and a paint...
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
These are absolutely incredible, and incredibly priced.
That's one of the coolest things I've ever seen!
These models are out of this world, the attention to detail is simply nuts 😮❤
Loved this!!
Mike, you have come such a long way from your early videos.
Keep up the great work.
Love people doing what they love and this shines through on this video
Great video! Thanks for sharing.
I'm glad a talent like this has an outlet. Wonderful works of art. Definitely on my lotto win list is a visit here.
Absolutely brilliant
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
I’ve been so stunned by this video I’ve watched it twice
Love the San Diego Padres hat.
This is so amazing to watch, the models are very expensive tho but love the way they look, it's incredible
The level of craftsmanship is second to none
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
I can only smile at the prices, bitter smile :)
This was amazing.❤
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..
"Stunning" does not even beginn to describe, what that is!
I haven't seen anything produced to an automaton level of detail outside of clockwork for a very long time. These are very cool.
Absolutely amazing
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!
those models are stunning!
Careful waving your arms around near the end there Mike!
Absolutely 💯 love the video
Amazing work
Part of being a petrol head is nerding out on cool intricate models
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.
Many years ago, Clarkson visited a guy who'd built a Ferrari. Fully working and even sounded right. Probably on you tube
Literally art
Great shop!
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.
Amalgam are amazing craftsmen!
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!
The SR 71 looks like a revel model I put together when I was 14 years old. It doesn’t look anything special. Now that Red Bull RB 18 now that’s pretty sweet although there is no way I’m paying 30,000 pounds for that thing to just sit in there and collect dust. These models are almost only for the rich, because nobody in their right mind would purchase that who lives in a trailer.
My dream job! Great video, thanks for sharing.
Amazing content guys
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.
Truly impressive craftsmanship! I know the drill and the challenges when it comes to building highly detailed model cars. Mine is also RC ;)
Awesome bro... your content always inspire my videos...cheers 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Those are some nice model cars ❤
Peak job satisfaction right there ..... amazing
stunning
I'm a Warhammer collector, don't give Games Workshop any ideas that a market for models this expensive exists.
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.
I want to pick up model making again . This place is awesome !
love Mike is repping The Padres!!!! # LFGSD
Very cool video 🎉
Obsession has its own beauty ❤
I’m curious if they wear down the tires on the weathered models?
wow detail, Detail, DETAIL, beautiful. any ferrari cars on the go?
Those are some realy good 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 ...
2:48 - "YOU CAN DO THAT?!!!" . . . 'Be smooth, be Mike.' : )
These guys should make a car in 1:64 scale
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.
My dad always encouraged me to build models and over the years he has bought me hundreds of kits and I have so many happy memories building them with my dad ❤ these are expensive yes but are so worth it. The detail gone into building these is breathtaking.
San Diego baseball hat! 🔥
Watching this was enlightening while I'm sitting weathering a kitbashed Games Workshop model 🤣
Thank you. This is my idea of heaven.
this feels like a 20 minute informercial
Lots of love from new zealand ❤❤❤❤
Nice PRX
You should do some features on people's model collections around the UK and beyond. There's some good one out there!
While I know I could never afford something quite like these models, they are stunning,. The SR 71 Blackbird is a thing of beauty
F117 Nighthawk 🤤
Heard Lawrence Stroll bought the RedBull one last month
Hello there. it's one of the coolest things I've seen on RUclips, 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 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
WOW
I hope they start an Amalgam Lite series where the exterior is detailed but leave out the intricate internal bits that we will never see and charge 1/4 the price. I’ll definitely consider buying it.
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.
