Models from the ‘In Development’ category are models that Amalgam has committed to producing, with the manufacturer’s endorsement and assistance. It can take up to 5000 hours to take the first 1:8 scale prototype through the design, build and approval processes and 800 hours for the smaller 1:18 scale models. To create perfect scale replicas, Amalgam’s master model makers make use of confidential CAD data supplied by the manufacturer or go to great lengths to locate the best examples of original cars and digitally scan them, in order to capture the precise shape and proportions of every part of the car. Amalgam then works closely with the manufacturer’s design and engineering teams to perfect the rendition of the interior and exterior finishes. Only once the teams are happy, can a model be made available.
