At last we are nearing completion of the fantastically detailed and very beautiful Ferrari 250TR Scaglietti ‘pontoon fender’ of 1957 at 1/8th scale. Here you can see many of the master parts assembled together on the bench to check fit before being put into rubber tooling to cast the parts for the first 15 models. The first finished model will be ready to photograph in early February. Both the bonnet and the boot lids will open to give a fine view of the engine and fuel tank.

To celebrate the coming retail launch of the new Ferrari 458 Italia, Amalgam has taken its production to the next level with this spectacular 1:8 scale model. Its the first time Amalgam has built a model with working doors, allowing viewers to peer inside the beautiful cabin of the car.

This past weekend, Amalgam had the pleasure of taking part in the 100th anniversary celebration of Bugatti at there headquarters in Molshiem, France. The events featured a wonderful collection of classic Bugattis and new Veyrons on display, a fireworks show and lectures from the design team.
Amalgam models were a huge hit with many of the owners in attendance. The all silver plated model pictured was a real crowd pleaser.
Amalgam was very kindly invited to the launch of Ferrari’s new 458 Italia in Maranello. To make sure no one could miss the 458 Italia, Amalgam made 1:4 scale models were strategically positioned across the venue!
The Bristol workshop of Amalgam Fine Model cars primarily deals with the fulfillment of orders and repair of customers models that have been sent to us for rejuvenation.
Here we can see a damaged Ferrari California sent to us for repair from a customer. The front wing had suffered a bump. This was successfully repaired much like an auto-body shop would – filling, sanding and painting.
