DOUBLE TAKE

For those of us who cultivated a love for all things automotive from childhood, a die-cast model may have provided the first opportunity to experience the sense of ownership (and pride) that comes with acquiring one’s dream car. With age, of course, the love for collecting model cars only continues, demanding a higher level of authenticity, quality, and personalization. The talented designers at Amalgam Collection pride themselves on offering a truly bespoke service for car owners, creating custom 1:8-scale model cars (about 24 inches long) that

replicate every visual aspect of their specific configurations. The process begins with a consultation with a member of the Amalgam sales team, who requests vehicle information that includes full specifications, renderings, and photographs of the desired car. With an agreement on a price quote, and a 50 percent deposit, Amalgam begins the meticulous 35-week process of replicating a customer’s vehicle as a 1:8-scale model. Down to the smallest detail, Amalgam incorporates factory paint finishes, interior color options, license plates, and wheels to ensure that

The model car makers at Amalgam Collection will re-create your ride in 1:8 scale. WORDS :
