Rev up your passion for automotive art with Amalgam Collection’s latest masterpiece – the Bugatti Type 59 Jean-Pierre Wimille Man and Machine Edition. Limited to just five pairings, this 1:8 scale model captures the iconic moment when Wimille raced his Bugatti at the Belgian Grand Prix in July 1935. Three of these limited editions have already found their home in the collections of distinguished enthusiasts.
The Ultimate Collector’s Item: This special edition not only features an intricately detailed 1:8 scale model of the Bugatti Type 59 but also includes a meticulously crafted figure of Jean-Pierre Wimille himself. Standing at around 22 centimeters (eight inches) tall, the figure has been digitally sculpted, 3D printed, and hand-painted in Venice by a skilled team of artists. With only five pairings available, each collector obtains a truly unique and exclusive masterpiece.
Limited Edition Luxury: The Bugatti Type 59 model, a result of approximately 5000 hours of design and development, showcases Amalgam’s commitment to precision and authenticity. The process involved detailed digital scans of an original Type 59 chassis, followed by reworking the CAD, 3D printing, and handcrafting hundreds of patterns. Each 52-centimeter (20-inch) model takes 500 hours to cast, fit, fettle, paint, and assemble.
Jean-Pierre Wimille Figure: The figure of Jean-Pierre Wimille has been meticulously crafted in Venice, Italy, using digital sculpting and 3D printing technologies. A deep dive into historical photographs and descriptions ensured an accurate representation of Wimille’s appearance during the Belgian Grand Prix in 1935. The figure complements the Bugatti model, creating a harmonious union of man and machine.
Options for Collectors: Collectors have the choice to order the Bugatti Type 59 in pristine pre-race condition or with a patinated finish, reflecting the post-race dust and grime. This attention to detail adds an extra layer of authenticity to these already exquisite collector’s items.
Future of Man and Machine: The Bugatti Type 59 Jean-Pierre Wimille Man and Machine Edition marks the beginning of a new series from Amalgam. Enthusiasts can look forward to more iconic drivers and their cars being immortalized in this exceptional 1:8 scale form in the future.
