EMC's Bugatti Type 37B

A small but mighty little treasure!

Every little EMC is a little jewel! 😉 

Excellent review of a truly remarkable top-of-the-line replica, oops, I mean scale miniature to exacting detail!  I can easily see how this could double, or even triple, in value.

A fine video look at this unbelievably detailed EMC replica of the Bugatti, John. It is astonishing the level of reality they can put into this model !

Well, I didn't coin the term - I think someone here or on FB used it. I just plagiarized it. Also, wish I had grabbed one when I had the chance, but I had just bought one of Mikhail's Type 59s and was a bit Bugattied-out after that. Mine is No. 9 of 25.

@mg-harv, those are very hard to come by. Beautiful model!

Indeed a very nice model. This is certainly a niche market at the price point they are asking for. I would be very nervous to display one and furthermore concerned if some parts get loose.

I am curious how many parts are involved in one of these models.

@nickies, this is a valid concern, given some other resins out there. But I've never had a part come loose from an EMC, and I have several. I don't know the parts count on this particular model, but they are usually very high. I remember Mikhail telling me the B&G HISTORIC LINE 1933 Duesenberg SJ Beverly Berline has close to 400 parts, the front bumper alone having 17. 

@jkuvakas Hi John

Just for the record the term autominologist was coined by Reg Miles' wife back in the 1960's. Reg Miles had a similar role to you in reviewing model cars but in magazines during the mid-1960's to the early 1970's. Taking his wife's idea he changed the name of his review section in the British Model Cars magazine to Autominology.   

@chris-sweetman, thanks for the background. The first I heard of the term was from Harve. I just figured it sprang out of his experiences.

@jkuvakas And I think he told me the trunk alone had 21 parts.
