Why thumb down the video just because you can't afford it? I can't afford one of these either, but they are clearly high quality and a labor of love.

Considering the hours worked and material costs to make one of those, it actually is a fair price. That's the annoying thing about being an artist of any kind... good art takes so long to make that even if you charge a fortune for each piece, you're still only making just enough money to live on.

Why didn't Jay go for a test ride?

When I started the video, I was thinking, "he's finally showcasing a car I can afford!".

A $7000 "Father's Day Present". Wow. I do not live in that stratosphere.

I used to build the 1/12th Tamiya F1 kits and those took over 100 hours with all the detailing. I remember the Italian Piocher were art work for their time. Nice piece Jay, thanks.

Anyone else disappointed they didn't take them out on the freeway?

Sitting here in England, in the rain, thinking I could be doing something other than watching YouTube ;) Great video of some gorgeous models, cheers !

"Who would possibly buy these?!" Dude, I'll be straight with you. If I had the money to buy a LaFerrari or even a goddamn BMW M4, I would probably spend an extra grand or two to make a wonderful replica and put it on my display shelf. Why? Because when the actual car is in the garage, I cannot see it. So the solution to that is simply turn my head and look at the stunning replica. Then it might lure me into driving the actual car for leisure purposes.

But you got to admit, these things look wonderful.

It's a lot of money for a model, but I can appreciate the extraordinary detail and laborious intricate work that goes into making them.

Amalgam is the combination of any metal that alloys with mercury.

If people are upset about the price, it's important to remember that these are not Hot Wheels; these are pieces of art. Artists often sell their works at a price point that reflects the time or energy put into the piece. 7-12 grand seems steep if you compare it to a 300 dollar remote-control car at your local hobby shop, but these are completely different. As an artist who has had to worry about pricing multiple times (people -- especially younger people -- seem to think everything is or should be free these days) so I can see the amount of work that goes into these. The only missing from these is a miniature human to drive them.

Amazing Craftsmanship! I mean it's just amazing to look at them.. all the hardwork and energy put in them it's just incredible. They totally worth every penny if you can afford them.
