总部位于荷兰埃因霍温西北的贝斯特,Remco de Reus是一名荷兰汽车艺术设计师。 Amalgam Collection于2019年开始与Remco紧密合作,设计和创造美丽的微型雕塑,捕捉标志性的汽车设计。

由于早年的听力损失,雷姆科对汽车设计和视觉艺术产生了特别的热情。 他在高中时学习了使用CAD软件进行3D建模,之后毕业于HTS Autotechniek,获得了汽车技术和机械工程学士学位。 作为一名独立工程顾问的机械设计师,Remco开始在家里设计自己喜欢的汽车雕塑,探索和发展他的雕塑设计技能。

在朋友和家人对他的才华的认可以及鼓励和支持下,Remco于2018年创立了自己的汽车设计服务公司。 不到一年的时间,他优雅的雕塑设计引起了Amalgam创始人桑迪·科普曼(Sandy Copeman)的注意。取得联系之后,经过一连串的邮件沟通,及对汽车设计和雕塑相同的热情,两人迅速建立了友谊。 Sandy意识到这是一个将Remco的作品带给更广泛的受众的机会,于是开始了合作继而推出了Amalgam的第一个雕塑系列-雪佛兰科尔维特系列。

随后,他们与管理一级方程式的F1集团(F1 Group)展开了合作。 Amalgam被邀请创建一个2022 F1的概念微型雕塑,以展示新2022年法规对F1赛车设计视觉方面的影响。 Remco从F1集团获得CAD设计文件,并将其精炼成一个完美的微型雕塑,抓住了这件美丽的书桌艺术作品的设计要点。

电动方程式第2代微型雕塑即将推出,随后将有更多的系列在酝酿中,包括经典的捷豹,以及代表大奖赛历史上每十年最具标志性的汽车系列。 保时捷系列正在讨论中,不久后法拉利经典系列也有望提上议程。

Remco的设计过程

用Remco自己的话说:这个过程包括三个阶段:研究和准备,确定设计风格,最后在SolidWorks中设计创建细节。

准备阶段是作品成功的关键。 在这个阶段,我收集了尽可能多的参考资料:蓝图,3D模型和照片。 如今,多亏了互联网,我可以在办公桌上做广泛的研究。

下一步是要思考和开发一种风格和一个详细的计划来塑造雕塑。 根据项目的性质,我会运用从详细到抽象的不同风格。 我对极简主义和抽象的风格有强烈的偏好,同时保留关键的设计元素,使完成的雕塑能够抓住原型的精髓。

当我在脑海中确定了具体的风格后,就开始了详细的设计工作。 我使用SolidWorks CAD软件,首先创建单独的表面,最终将合并成一个,从而形成一个完全整合的雕塑设计。

每件雕塑都是用石头填充树脂手工铸造,手工完成,涂上底漆,镀上铝,然后上漆和抛光。 这件作品附有豪华展示盒以及装有小册子和证书的布袋。

No credit checks required but the total amount is held in reserve on your card to ensure payment
Your first payment is taken immediately. The rest will be paid automatically in monthly installments

IMPORTANT NOTE:
  • A PAYMENT AUTHORISATION FOR THE OUTSTANDING AMOUNT OF YOUR PURCHASE WILL BE HELD DURING THE FULL PLAN PERIOD as security. This hold will be charged ONLY in the event a monthly payment is declined (the authorisation hold might appear as "Pending" on your credit card bill).
  • You must maintain a sufficient "Required Available Credit" amount on your credit card for both the full outstanding amount of your purchase and the monthly payment during the full period of the plan.
  • Your credit card issuer may charge you interest on amounts charged to your credit card unless you pay Your credit card balance in full each month.
  • In case we do not manage to reauthorize the remaining amount of the transaction, you will receive a notice email. In that case, you will have to promptly update your credit card details. In case your bank still refuses to reauthorize the outstanding amount, we will have to charge the full outstanding amount of the transaction at once from your credit card.
Splitit offers you a flexible way of paying for items in instalments, completely interest-free, by reserving the available line of credit on your credit card. Then, each month, according to your payment plan, Splitit collects the instalment amount and reissues the authorisation request for the remaining balance.

It is important to note that payments are still charged on your existing credit card. Splitit simply provides you the method to do this and information about the instalments. Here is an example of how the service works for a customer buying a £2,000 model in 4 instalments of £500 each:

Splitit obtains authorisation from the credit card company for the full purchase amount of £2,000. This is not a charge on the card; it is simply reserving £2,000 from the customer’s line of credit.
- The credit card company then charges the customer £500 for the first payment.
- During the second month, Splitit requests authorisation for the outstanding purchase amount of £1,500, and charges the customer the second installment of £500.
- This authorisation and charge process continues until the full £2,000 is collected - in this case, for 4 months.
No, this is an interest-free payment method with no additional fixed fees, service fees, interest or hidden fees of any kind.
No, your item will be processed after the first initial instalment and delivered as normal upon passing our Quality Control check at Head Office.
- You can pay using Splitit with a valid Mastercard or Visa
Nothing, no credit check is required if you use a Splitit instalment plan and there is no impact on your credit score. All the bank sees is the individual instalment charges each month. If one of your payment authorisations is declined, there is still no affect on your credit rating; it is simply a declined charge. The denial would simply accelerate payment of the remaining balance (unless you provide a different card which was not denied).
You can pay using Splitit with a Mastercard or Visa. Debit cards, American Express and pre-paid cards are not accepted.
The instalments appear on your statement as individual charge items with the name of 'Amalgam Collection'. These payments will appear monthly according to your instalment plan, with the same charge amount each time.
