ALFA ROMEO 8C 2300 - 1932 MONACO GP WINNER - TAZIO NUVOLARI
Many believe the 2.3 litre 8C Alfa, of which this is an example, to be the finest race car of the early 1930s. Also known as the 'Monza',
a moniker given to the shortened two-seater Grand Prix 8Cs after an early model emerged victorious from the 1931 Italian Grand Prix,
this straight eight-powered Italian behemoth is the epitome of the spirit of racing in this glamorous era.
Enzo Ferrari declared Tazio Nuvolari as 'the greatest he had ever seen' and this fine 1:8 scale model is of the No. 28 Prix car driven to victory by Nuvolari at the 1932 Monaco Grand. During this year,
the 8C dominated the season with wins at the French and German Grand Prix races, amongst others.
The 8C enjoyed an excellent power-to-weight ratio and the 1932 variant no doubt benefited from an enlarged 2665cc version of the engine, fed through not one but two superchargers.
In 1933, Alfa Romeo retired it from racing, but a brigade of successful privateers carried the 8C mantle.
The supremacy of the 8C meant that it continued to perform well on track well into the middle of the decade and its undoubted character and style made it an icon of the age.
Every Amalgam 1:8 scale model is supplied in a luxury black presentation box and mounted on a carbon fibre or leather base protected by a clear acrylic dust cover.
The model title, original branding and edition number are displayed on polished stainless-steel plaques mounted at the front end of the base.
we create models at a range of scales.
For those of you unfamiliar with the way the system works, these scales represent the ratio between the size of a model and its full size counterpart.
Here are the scales we make with the average lengths of the model alongside. Put simply, the bigger the number to the right of the colon, the smaller the model car:
Sculpts…...11 cms (4 inches) long
1:18…...25 cms (10 inches) long

1:8….....60 cms (24 inches) long

Resin casting is used to produce collectible and customized toys and figures like designer toys,garage kits and ball-jointed dolls, as well as scale models, either individual parts or entire models of objects like trains, aircraft or ships. They are generally produced in small quantities, from the tens to a few hundred copies, compared to injection-molded plastic figures which are produced in many thousands.
Resin casting is more labor intensive than injection molding, and the soft molds used are worn down by each cast. The low initial investment cost of resin casting means that individual hobbyists can produce small runs for their own use, such as customization, while companies can use it to produce small runs for public sale. Quality of both original masters and resin castings varies due to differences in creator's skill, as well as casting techniques.
